This is a real-deal British pub, from the outside to the inside. The English-pub vibe is dripping from the walls and ceiling! Gotta love that huge Union Jack covering the entire ceiling.We arrived mid-afternoon, so it was not busy. Our service was quick and the food arrived promptly. I liked that the menu leaned heavily towards English pub food items. The cheese curds had a light crunchy coating. My wife described her ‘fish n’ chips’ order as the best she has ever eaten. The breading was light, flaky, crunchy. Not over-seasoned and oily. There was plenty on the plate for 2. I really enjoyed my Shepards pie. It was prepared just the way it should: loaded with meat, both ground and chunks of lamb. You could taste the red wine reduction soaked into the meat. All covered with smooth cheesy mashed potatoes. It was all washed down with a tall glass of Guinness.Cool pub. Really good food. I’d love to see it at happy hour or St Patrick’s Day. We will definitely go back.

Good place, friendly and fast staff. The drink was cold, the food was hot and tasty. No problems with the Red Lion Pub.

This is one helluva restaurant! It is soooo calm, cool, collected and chill. The VIBE is absolutely amazing. My friend invited me to join him on a Friday evening, and I’m so glad he did. The greeter was welcoming, and our waitress, SWEET STELLA, was awesome! She made the evening outstanding. We had the best cocktails, old fashion and an Irish whiskey. The food was delicious. We had the fish n’ chip, cheese curds, jalapeño poppers and turtle cheesecake. This is one of best restaurants on the east side. I will be back . . .

We had some menu troubles when we first arrived, their online menu and the menu they had in person were difficult to understand. Their brunch menu is only available until 2pm, where they then switch to their lunch/dinner menu which is different from most restaurants. They do not serve the second menu until after 2pm, something their website doesn't mention, but their service was able to accommodate the switch for us. The food was good overall and I didn't have any complaints , other than their menu size which consists mostly of appetizers, with few small entrees.

It was nice pub. We just went in for drinks. I had a cocoa with Jameson. It was delicious. It has whipped cream. It was so good. My niece had a beer. We looked at the menu, it looked good. Next time, we are in Milwaukee, we will have lunch there. Prices and service was great.

To the gentleman who served us on 12.22.23, we finally figured it out: The black & white photo of the guy smoking a cigarette is in fact Paul Weller.
