Red Lion, Lower Southampton







Historic pub in the old High Street. I've only been in once. It has immense charm and character, and a large parrot in a cage. Three cask beers on offer. Does food. (An abandoned or damaged review)

I like this pub, but I have rarely visited. Three cask beers and one cask cider. Proper meals served in the restaurant at the back. Children allowed. Warm, friendly, local pub atmosphere, and bags of character and history. Seating on two levels - there's a minstrel gallery overlooking the single main room. Suits of armour stand on quard above the fireplace. This is a rare and wonderful pub. Could do with a little more tlc, and the long walk to the toilets is a sad and dull experience, but all in all a must visit place if coming to Southampton, and even worth a detour. Places like this are few and far between.
