About

The Red Lion is a traditional sports pub in Chester that is popular with locals and students. It is known for its lively atmosphere, especially during sporting events, and its reasonable prices. While the food is generally considered standard pub fare, the service can be hit or miss, and the pub can get very loud, so it is best suited for those looking for a casual, energetic night out.
