David Walton left this review about The Red Lion

Previously visited 09/01/2020, back on this occasion as was passing with some time to kill rather than making it a destination this time!

No cask. Keg offering was Pravda, Aspall, Guinness, Madri, Blue Moon, and Sharps Atlantic Pale Ale.

Corner venue with multiple levels. Ground floor is a small room with bar counter opposite the two entrance doors (are two really needed here). Limited seating with a leather corner sofa in opposite corner to bar counter, with large plasma screen on wall and a dart board dangerously close to the left-hand side of the TV. Another sofa along wall opposite the bar counter with a table and regular chairs in front thereof. Bare boarded that look like they have seen a lot of footfall over the years. Didn't bother investigating other floors and roof terrace.

An odd place with a small downstairs room plus an upstairs room and a roof terrace beyond that. The downstairs room had three two seater couches, a couple of chairs low tables as well as a couple of barstools, there is a TV screen that was showing darts on my visit.
There was no sign of any real ale, eight keg taps with a couple of craft.
The whole experience was akin to someones front room with a bar in it.
One for the locals.

An underwhelming pub popular with Hoxton's youth. No real ale on sale and I can't see any credible reason for returning though the panoramic roof terrace may appeal in summer.
