Reviews for The Red Lion in New York, NY
The best place in NYC for live music. Everyday I found very good artist, yes, everyday! I loved the chicken wings on Tuesdays.... It is an amazing place! Read more
The staff and servers are great and for a bar, the food was pretty good too Place could be a five if they somehow sectioned off... the dance floor. Doing their staff no favors when they have to cross a sea of people to get to a table. Also means people hoverover your table when eating. Lastly, I feel if you make a reservation to eat and drink, you shouldn't have to pay a cover, butthat's just me. Read more
Awesome bands. Awesome bartenders. However, there is one security staff member who clearly has anger issues. The way I had seen... him fully SCREAM at a group of young adults who were not deserving of such treatment was very disappointing to witness. Actyallyquite scary. He did it multiple times after this first occasion. I understand security guards should be strict mannered and keeptheir guard up, but this man was clearly looking for an excuse to yell at anybody he could. Absolutely love this place, but heneeds to go. Read more
We were looking for a place to just chill. Somewhere more intimate and ran into this place. Customer service was great, drink... prices were good, and the guy performing live on the stage singing cover songs let me rock the mic real quick. David thebartender was awesome. They had doors closed and brother got sick once we left but he definitely got me a cup of water for himquickly so that goes to show that they do care for their customers. Read more
On a Saturday evening, they had really good live music. My friends and I mainly got appetizers and beer. The staff were... friendly, the music good, and the food tasty. Had a good atmosphere, esp with the live music. Was pleasantly surprised at theexperience :) Read more

The music is great, the bands deserve a better stage. Place is quite lame; tired and neglected.. menus and tables are sticky..... soda is flat.. food is likely frozen products.. The tenders tasted old.. the nachos were low quality, wings are meh.. curlyfries were good. Got double fries on the bill when ordering one - check what you’re paying for. The ?? ?? are given only forthe live music ??????? Read more
We were told that this bar was one of the best to go to for British ex-pats. We were also told Bleeker Street, which The Red... Lion is on is a great street of bars. I think the time we went there, around 6pm, was probably not the best time, as therewasn't many in there and there was no atmosphere. Good selection of drinks and priced in line with most of New York bars- allaround $9 for a 16oz (440ml) drink. Barmaid was friendly enough. I'd like to attend again, later in the evening, as 2* may beharsh, as the couple next to us at the bar, also English, said they had attended a few nights as the open-mic nights were great. Read more
