The Red Lion | NYC

Great local village place for live music and pretty cheap drinks. Medium sized crowd at happy hour that grew to packed standing room only by 8:00 p.m. Live music until maybe 1:00 in the morning? Loved it. We had a good time. In fact everyone seemed to be having a great time. Bartenders were fast and on point. And they let me change the channels of the TV to put the NHL playoffs on in the background which was a bonus.<br><br>Confession. I've been here quite a few times. Finally decided they deserved a review.

Such a fun night 💃<br><br>live band (Group B?? if I remember right) was insanely talented—their song choices were 💯!! Food was solid too, especially the quesadillas and the portions are big 🌮 best place to have fun with friends/fam & just jam to music 💃

Just OK place. The pretzel was good but my wings wasn't enough cook. We went for live music at 7 but there was a basketball game so no music before midnight.

Came for a drink on a Monday and was surprised to see a band setting up. Turns out they have live music every night of the week, which is impressive!<br><br>The happy hour (until 7pm) is quite a good deal for drinks (including: mule, margarita, red ale or lager). They also do 2 appetizers for $20 during happy hour.<br><br>However, it feels like a trap when it's not clear what you'll get: the menu says 3 tacos per order, yet we received 2 each. Apparently that's what comes with the happy hour deal, but that it wasn't mentioned anywhere.

Was showing a friend the area in the West village and telling her some history of different locations. She came from near Albany for a few days and it was all new to her. We popped into Red Lion a very reputable location and a neighborhood staple. Attentive staff with live music on a decent sized stage. Great food we plit "chicken ceaser wrap" and the wings. Phenomenal food and she said it was the best chicken ceaser wrap she has had In HER LIFE. Shout out to Red Lion.

The bar itself is amazing. Great happy hour, live music every day, food is good too for a pub. We enjoyed it here three days in a row.<br>Sadly I have to give 2 stars (would have been 1 if everything else wasn’t so amazing) since we got scammed there by an employee.<br>It is clearly a bar full of Americans and locals. A few tourists like us as well. We sadly got overcharged by a young employee at the bar. We didn’t know better because we previously only ordered during happy hour. And only after we ordered the drinks again and got charged way less we realized.<br><br>When I asked how much she hesitated a bit and charged us 20$ instead of 16$ for 2 beers. I obviously paid the 20$ + a tip. Afterwards we were only charged 16$ with another employee.<br><br>If we weren’t tourist I would have made a fuzz about it but it was our last day in New York and we just wanted a chill night.<br><br>Other than that it’s a great bar, just check prices beforehand if you are a tourists :/

Absolutely loved my visit to The Red Lion! The atmosphere was lively, the drinks were great, and the service was exceptional. A special shout-out to Sorcha, who was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Will definitely be back!

The owner was very friendly.<br>The music was very skillful.<br>Not everybody in there like me that's why I gave it four; but that's almost everywhere I go.<br>Tacos for a dollar<br>Vegetable pork and chicken<br>And an affordable pint.

Solid spot to hang out and the live music is indeed a vibe. Cheap drinks, not much else on the menu going for it.

Came here for Halloween and had a great time. They booked a great band for live music.

Don’t miss this place for a fun night out! The place is like an English pub with a long bar and live music for dancing! Best thing: no cover! Great atmosphere! Enjoy!<br>And the owner added a great feedback!<br>I am back here a few nights later! And same great atmosphere and good Stella draft! Congrats!!! 🎉🎊😍

Great bar to meet people and to have a good time with friends. Bartender at the bar was very friendly. During the daytime there is no cover, then in the night they have a cover (not expensive) with amazing live music.<br>This is a bar that I will repeat again!<br>Fabulous location on Bleecker St where you can eventually go to a different pizza place, another bar or restaurant.<br>Highly recommend if you want to spend a good time!

A great place to experience live blue music. The pub has a long history of hosting live music, and the atmosphere is always electric. The bands that play there are top-notch. It's a great place to let loose and have a good time.

Nice bar located in the Soho. Good variety of draft beers and food. Good bands playing at the place - but we needed to pay $5 each to enter, which we were not expecting. The place is crowded and you may face a line depending on the day and time you get there.
