» Red Lion Pub

This British pub lays claim to authentic English tradition.

It's nice to visit a place that's more than a pub in name only. Luscious red leather covers the bar stools and booths, a modest brick fireplace warms the cozy back room, and an impressive collection of Edwardian prints lines the walls.

The low-level music is geared more toward couples and single women looking to relax with a glass of chardonnay. There's a TV, but it's tucked away in a wood cabinet above the bar. The owner only takes it out of hiding for local games. A huge list of single-malt scotches and a spot-on traditional English menu completes the London trip.

Red Lion is open for lunch. Bring your laptop and get some work done with the free Wi-Fi access.

Happy hour is Monday - Friday 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. and all day Saturday and Sunday, with $2 longnecks, $4 pints and $5 wine, plus complimentary snacks.
