Red Lion

A fine pub indeed. Tiny bar downstairs with the most wonderful person serving behind the bar. Excellent service and a happy disposition. Upstairs, a playroom if you like table football, further upstairs, another playroom if you like pool and even further upstairs a rooftop garden to enjoy the sunshine. An excellent place to enjoy a drink.

I am yet to try their iconic food. This place has 4 floors and the roof area is stunning. Like a korean setting with the string bulb lights. Also they have this arcade basketball game, it so much fun. Absolutely loved it. This would be a great place for small parties, bridal shower, stag's do and organised meet ups. You can rent floors and each one has toliets except the roof.

This place has changed so much over the past 20 years. I remember zee good old days when you could have a little dance in there on Saturday night. I even had an interview in that great little pub! The place is now amazing with the roof garden. It's well done without too much fuss and it is so lovely to have a high rise pint over Hoxton in the least pretentious and bestest pub in the area!

The Red Lion - what a place. Went there of a sunny Sunday evening with girlfriend, as was enticed by the promise of an actually open rooftop (throwing shade on you Culpepper). Plus, having lived in Shoreditch for years, I had never even heard of it. A rooftop it certainly had, and although we didn't get sweeping views of East London, we got to play cards on a picnic bench in the sun. So all good. Otherwise, quite a bizarre pub, and I would love to know more about it and its normal business. It was almost empty at the time, and had a remarkably student union-y feel to it (something I reckon I'm qualified to comment on given an interminable 13 years of student-hood). Pool table, wipe down pleather sofas, a neon bar signs inside, DJ booth in a small room, one-person-only toilet door signs, very relaxed and casual bar staff. GF input on request: 'does everything you want it to do: its got a rooftop, its got a pool table, its got weird lines on the floor and serves £6 pints from plastic cups - what else could you want' ...Its hard to explain... it's like someone had themed it 'student union'... go check it out...
