There are some lovely tiles remaining on the front of the building, however inside is a badly mauled maze of interconnected rooms. The front right area has seating, machines and pool, front left has the counter and going back on that side there’s some seating and darts. Beyond on the right there’s seating, lav's and access to the rear patio they are pleased to call a beer garden. The counter is graced with three T-bars of basic kegs, Alpcalypse makes a show though. Screens, machines and piped music of course plus a strong stale fag smoke smell. Not one of the most charming of pubs even in Heckmondwike.

The Red Lion Inn is a decent looking pub that has a nice tiled front,it is situated right in the middle of Heckmondwike.
Once inside there is a single dog legged shaped room,the bar is to the front left,the seating is comfy bench type and the floor is carpeted,the rear area is bare boarded,there is a pool table in this area.
There were no real ales on the bar,i had a drink of John Smiths smooth crap which lived up to its name,there was some decent background music playing,the pub was almost empty on my Friday dinner visit.
The landlord was very helpfull in letting me know which pubs were closed in the area.
I like these sort of pubs,shame there was not one real ale on the bar.

Arrived at 11-45am and noticed the barmaid in conversation on her mobile phone.Departed at 11-47 with the barmaid still going "hammer and tongs"on her mobile.
