Red Lion, Bitterneback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Prominently located in Bitterne shopping centre. A traditional pub that serves the older locals very well. Sign outcome says children not welcome, but on asking we were allowed in the back dining room. Typical pub/cafe food - quite edible, but don't expect posh grub. Service was a little frosty at start, but quickly warmed up. Ales are Courage Best and Directors. Nice looking sheltered beer garden at the rear. This is a busy and well run pub, though does lack a bit of character. I'm happy to come here again, though it's not a place to detour to.

My pint of Courage Best at midday was just fine, and �2.80 - a fair price.

Nice pub only been late in the evening nice friendly pub, interesting decor worth a visit.
|
Beer was OKish although probably a little past the sell by date. Landlord seems to want to do well but has to cater to the local clientele.
Having watched the locals inside and outside the pub I can see where my taxes go. A throughly depressing boozer.

I visited this pub whilst having my car repaired in a garage on the industrial estate opposite. Pint OK, felt a bit pecko, so i ordered some 'cheesie chips', they were truly disgusting, tasted like they'd been deep fried in old engine oil.
|
Very unwelcoming staff, very poor almost undrinkable wine and keggy tasting flavourless real ales, not an enjoyable evening.
|
Unmemorable pub in local shopping centre. Nice for an early-evening drink or for shoppers looking for a swift lunchtime half.
