About Red Lion
A traditional, well-kept late Victorian pub tucked away in the quiet back streets just north of Bromley town centre. Friendly and welcoming, this attracts a wide range of customers of all ages where conversation is popular as well as having a strong community spirit.
From the carpeted front area, the decor is traditional with many original features retained including the tiling and a dark wood bar with ornate columns. Shades of green lend themselves to the ceiling and curtains, complementing the maroon patterned wallpaper complete with framed photographs. An extensive library of books dominates one wall by the door. An ornate mirror hangs over the tiled fireplace. The bar area is more narrow with wooden flooring, leading up to a more modernised area with drinking shelves and high chairs as well as the popular dartboard.
Out front there is an enclosed paved area with table sets and a trough planter for flowers whilst at the back of the pub there is a deceptively large garden area on shingle with more table sets.
Up to five cask ales are available, with two that change on a regular basis. Lagers, wine, spirits, soft drinks plus tea and coffee are available at all times.
Food is limited to Barrel & Stone artisan pizzas.
Sports are popular, with both men's and ladies' darts teams as well as a golf society.
Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year for 2012 and joint runner-up in 2019.

Very good pub in a quiet back street not far from Bromley North Station and the town centre. Five cask beers on handpump when I visited. A few tables outside at the front. The friendly locals pub offers a pizza menu and well kept real ales.

Return visit to this great pub after more than thirty five years. Not much has changed in the intervening time, the beer's still served bright and it's bar service with a smile. Long may that continue!

Great traditional pub in the heart of old Bromley. Super beers on tap and fabulous staff, thank you for a lovely evening will definitely be back.

What a cracking pub, this is what a local should be like. Set in a side street, nice and clean with real locals, proper landlord and 5 real ales pumps, just excellent.
