Old Boots left this review about The Red Lion

Nothing has changed since Quinno’s visit a few years back, it’s still a shrine to Glasgow Rangers with a garnish of royalty and armed forces. Two counter faces; the front one with two T-Bars a John Smiths smooth solo and a Thatchers cider treble supply UK favourites plus Belhaven 80/- and Tennents. More solos were lurking in the rear section by a pool table but it was in darkness as it was early. There’s at least one more pool table in a room at the back. Pretty much everything is blue or white, a touch of highlighting red but mostly blue, obviously no green. Interesting seating in front of the counter on the right, banquettes at old whisky casks under the nice stained glass front windows but tip-up double cinema type seats between there and the counter. Screen and machine, a juke box that was off, I think I heard a radio playing somewhere.

Quinno _ left this review about The Red Lion

Looks dilapidated from the outside. The inside is a celebration of all things Rangers; though bizarrely it's Glasgow not Berwick. The entire place is festooned with Rangers and Union paraphernalia which also includes the colour scheme – red, white and blue, so also assume it’s 100% a proddy pub. Some interesting seating arrangements by the servery, with fabric drop-down seats aside old whisky barrels. Inevitably it’s keg-only at the bar, my Tennants was fine. Despite the ferocious look about the place the punters were no problem and the barmaid friendly. Worth a look for sheer novelty value.

The Red Lion is in building that look as if it was a former hotel. The inside is very bland and appears more like a café and is not really in keeping with its exterior. There are plenty of tables and bar meals are available.
