A nice looking pub from outside and not too bad inside. Its a largish place and is basically split into 3 areas with the large room where the bar is and 2 areas left and right as you enter. Bare brick walls are a main feature and the bar had 4 handpumps on. Worth a visit.

Looking for the finest pub in Leek and after a couple of false starts (Black Swan had all the real ale pumps turned around. Bird in Hand had some very strange music blasting away), I came to the red lion.
Classy interior. Four real ales - two from Hydes brewery. They let me have a sample of the Crown Golden and it was superb. Then I was equally surprised by the low price - £2.80.
Excellent place.

A large pub this one, with a lot of open floor space, so I imagine this pub caters for the night time trade. The interior was modern, but I did like the orignal exposed brick and stone, which gave good feature. The Hydes beer was very reasonably priced, as it's a tied house. At £2.40 a pint and well kept, I couldn't complain.

The Red Lion is in the middle of Leek and it is an Hydes tied house.
This pub is open early saturday morning but does'nt serve beer untill 11.00.
Once inside this pub looks quite smart with one large room that has been divided into different drinking areas,the bar runs down part of the left side of the pub.
There were three hydes real ales on i had a drink of Hydes original bitter which was a very nice drink there was also Hydes Jekyll's Gold and an Hydes seasonal beer which i car'nt remember the name of.
This pub was very busy at 11.00 with everbody drinking coffees probably because they got in before 11.00.

A Hydes pub on the market square in Leek. It was fairly quiet when I was there as the market was shutting one Saturday afternoon, but the bar decor and fonts seem to be aimed at the youth circuit drinker, so I expect it's busier in the evenings.
