Real Ale Ray left this review about The Red Lion
A very striking looking building which dates back to 1670. The interior is multi roomed and I thought it was quite plush and tastefully finished. As Just a Quick Pint mentions below, in spite of this being a food led pub, it has still retained its pub ambience, especially around the right hand side of the bar, where the locals were enjoying a few pints and a chat.
The beer line up on handpump was Purity Mad Goose, Wells Bombardier, Ember Inns Pale, Brakspear, Quarts Brewing Quarts Heart, Purity UBU and a Kirkstall collaboration with Oskar Blues to create a Yorkshire Dales Pale Ale. We went for the Kirkstall, which was an excellent choice and a good first pint to start with, on our visit to Knowle.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Red Lion
Attractive old Ember Inn, remodelled inside and completely refurbished in the expected mix of traditional and modern but still retaining some character in the various seating / dining areas (especially just to the right of the front entrance). Very food-led of course, but plenty of people in and around the bar just having a drink. Ember pale ale, Brakspear Bitter, Bombardier, Sharp's Juniper Rising wheat beer (£3.65) and two from Purity - Pure UBU and Mad Goose - available from the two banks of five handpumps.

It looks like a proper pub from the outside - and still looks decent inside! It may be run by Ember Inns but still offers a good selection of ale.
