The bar is a no-frills spot that has outdoor seating and a pretty decent menu of American fare. The bar has music seven days a week from 7pm to 4am and is a great place to watch a game from the leagues around the British Isles.

Best Night Out in New York – If you want a great night out Red Lion is sure not to disapoint. Great Live Music everytime I have been and lets just say the crowd is HOT. The interesting thing about this venue is that it seems to appeal to all age groups everyone is there for the same reason- this place is great. The staff is super friendly and service is prompt and efficient. If you like having FUN - THIS IS THE BAR FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!

best spot on bleecker – As a self-proclaimed party girl..I must say the red lion is one of my favorite bars to (you guessed it) party at. The vibe is low key but very fun. Good people. Good music. Good chicken caesar salad. My out of towner friends loved it. Jack, the bartender, took great care of us. Great guy..not to mention incredibly attractive. Next time you're there..ask him to make you party juice. For a guaranteed good time in the city..the red lion never lets you down.

Saturday morning mayhem – Forget all these comments about cover bands. If you are a Brit in New York and want to watch International Rugby, this is the venue. On Sat mornings in Feb and March, by 10am this place is turning away punters willing to pay $20 to get in. Penty of screens, so no matter what corner you get squashed into, you'll see the action. If Americans want to watch 80 mins of sport with only a 5 min interval for TV commercials at half time, and played by athletes for the love of their country, not the love of t... read more

Good times – Hey just wanted to clarify - there has been a cover charge every time I have gone to Red Lion, but only about $5. That said, the bands are great and the drinks are cheap. The crowd is a good mix, so all always feel welcome. One warning - you may have to save your conversations for in between songs, because some of the bands can get a little loud! All in all though, a great place.

Red Lion – For a Wednesday night you can't ask for a better night out. The first time I went there I was on my own and I felt like I was with fiends. Not rammed out with people so great fast service and full of great looking girls. They have live bands every night. No cover charge to get in and the bad playing (Guss and the Allstars) FANTASTIC. Do yourself a favour, if you're close by go there!!

Decent Cover Bands – 5 dollar cover to get in on a Sat nite isn't bad for a band that was pretty strong. Played lot of U2, Floyd, some Zep. Pint were about 6 bucks. The place drew an NYU type crowd....and I guess with good reason, it's somewhat close.

My New home Away from home – I live in Chicago, but due to work, I'm in New York City two weekends out of every month. One night I fell into the Red Lion for dinner and a beer and having been going back ever since. They have live music everynight of the week till four in the morning. There's this band called the Mike Tate Band. I've heard them three or four times now. They do a cover of Cold Play's Yellow that is fantastic. The Cheesesteak sandwich is the best. And they serve Hogarten Beer. You can't ask for more. And it doe... read more

Great Bar to Relax Eat – Red Lion is probably one of my favorite places to just go, unwind, have drinks, eat, AND listen to great live music. Its an Irish Pub in the heart of the Village. The bartenders are very friendly, even the manager/owner comes out and makes sure everyone's having a good time. You can sit at the bar, or get a table and theres plenty of room, and when the weather is good, you can sit outside as well. The live music is actually a great plus. I would definitely recommend this place. Some european soccer b... read more
