Changed its name from "Red Lion", but is now an Indian restaurant.

this used to be a great pub up until march 2006 ,it is a good pub going to waste ,its always changing management and staff ,it is dirty inside ,draught products disgusting and it decore and toilets disgusting,this is what happens when large pub companies sell out to a lease hold or a tennant ,it should of been kept a managed pub by snpe company ,the manager then was good ,she and her staff knew what they were doing !!!!!

Has potential but the management changes so often it never has a chance to establish itself. Keep trying different things e.g. strip nights, DJ's etc, karaoke all of which were good but they keep chopping and changing all the time and don't promote things or give things a chance to get established. 3 or so changes of management in as many months doesn't help.
A pub that lacks a sense of identity, a large venue with lots of untapped potential, until people see it as "the place to go" and know what to expect on certain nights e.g. karaoke every Saturday etc they will continue to pop in for a pint on their way to the Litten Tree or G's

Not a family pub
Only go in here if your a Navvy/builder and appreciate a bit of the rough and ready

Used this place a couple of years ago, but seems to have gone downhill. Bit of a "dive" now

Bit of a rough and ready pub and pretty big. Clientele can be a bit tough to guage whether they want to pick a fight because "you looked at my missus" or "spilled my pint". Big place, pool tables and air hockey. Not a place for the quiet night out. Music is good when it isn't too loud. Staff are generally alright and the beer is pretty good. Nothing particularly wrong with the place but when the army lads are out on leave on a Friday/Saturday night you might want to give the place a bit of a wide berth.

Has always had a reputation for being a "rough" pub, however, this dates back to its days when it was called "Leos" over 10 years ago. These days it is a lively and fun venue, and has been pointed out before, the staff are always very friendly. A change of management is due soon, hopefully it won't lead to a down turn. Recommended.

fantastic pub with best atmosphere. bar staff are lovely and always easy to talk to and have a laugh with. its made out to be a squaddie pub but i have been drinking in there for over a year and believe me its not. i think its the number 1 pub in bicester. it has loads of sport on, jukebox, 3 pool tables, bowling machine, itbox and so much more including a big screen tv! what more could you want. bar staff are well fit!

Best pub in Bicester, the staff are always friendly- two people in particular "THE BEST BAR STAFF EVER" this pub wouldn't be the same without the couple behind the bar. Brilliant atmosphere, very welcoming.
Always 10 out of 10 in my books!
LISA AND JASON ROCK!!!

The place is full of dolts who all want to scrap. The girls are hard to tell from the blokes.

As a local I can say that this has always been the squaddies' haunt in town. Nothing wrong with the place but as a civvie I wouldn't go in there on a Friday or Saturday night!!!

Love this pub, warm and friendly atmosphere with loads of fit squaddies!!! Pool tables, snack food, internet games and own music selection-what more could you ask for? 10 out of 10 I would personally say!

Young, trendy and abusive clientele, no food, lots of lager and drinks like Aftershock. Not my cup of tea at all.
