Red Lion Inn, Stoke-On-Trent

The Red Lion had dance music going on in the vault where I sat to drink my pint away from the bingo in progress in the lounge. There’s a pool table and regular live music is hosted. Only Bass was available on cask during a recent Wednesday evening visit. Not on my revisit list.

The Red Lion looks like a 30s built pub that is just off the busy hartshill road. Once inside the pub had two seperate rooms,there was a small bar to the right which was empty on my early evening visit,the lounge to the left was larger and fairly busy,this was a long narrow room which extended to the rear of the pub,it had comfy bench seating with chairs. There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Thwaites Lancaster Bomber which was a very nice drink,the other beers were Caledonian Sunseeker and Bombardier. This room was quite busy with a good atmosphere and there was some decent music playing. There is a garden to the rear of the pub which looked quite nice. I did'nt like the look of this pub from the outside but it was quite a nice pub to have a few drinks in. Pub visited 15/6/2013
