With an open-air dining room in the summer, three roaring fireplaces in the winter, a private balcony room for groups of 10-15 people, enough history and ghost tales to fill an encyclopedia, 14 unique drafts, a locally sourced and delicious menu, a wide selection of single malts, bourbons & ryes AND a promise from Colin Cordwell that The Red Lion Pub will remain “a place to talk about ideas” this Lincoln Park Pub promises to offer something that’s hard to come by these days, in the neighborhood or the city of Chicago.
“We had a phenomenal experience here last weekend! I went in with my parents, Aunt and Uncle before we had a show at the Apollo theater just down the street. We were supposed to get to the theater around 7 and had reservations for 6, but the traffic was terrible and didn't end up getting there until 6:30. I called them to let them know we would be late and they held our table for us despite it being a friday night and our server, Claire, took our order quickly and had the kitchen expedite our order so we would be on time for our show. They were incredibly accommodating! The food came out great, the vibes were still relaxing although we were rushed, and their service was amazing. Thank you again, Claire!”
“We had some very nice snacks and drinks here! We tried the Red Lion pilsner and Goose Island IPA, which were really nice. There were some good deals at the happy hour too. Then there was really nice live music. It was a great place to sit, nice options for drinks, helpful service, and all around great atmosphere! Would come again.”
“This place is fantastic! It has a great homey atmosphere full of WWI and WWII memorabilia. The owner Colin is a true host, and sat with us for a little while telling us stories of his Dad who served and other historical fun facts and events. We could have sat there and picked his brain all night! The food was also next level. I highly recommend getting the Scotch Egg appetizer for the table. It’s two eggs cut into 4 portions, with bruschetta and a salad. I also got the house special they were serving that night which was the beef stew in a red wine sauce over mashed potatoes. My only critique is that the bowl it came in could have been a little bigger, as I licked it clean wanting more lol. My mom and her friend both got the Shepherds Pie and loved it. For dessert we ordered a bread pudding for the table. I’m usually not a bread pudding guy, but it was lighter yet packed with flavor covered in a caramel drizzle. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind pub with great service and food, look no further. Come to The Red Lion Pub.”
“What a beautiful location! I loved that the decor is filled with WWI and WWII memorabilia and images. It is really well done with plenty to look at while dining. I had the corned beef sandwich that was excellent.”
“This place is a hidden gem. I came in looking for a cozy spot to work and unwind, and I ended up falling in love with the whole atmosphere. The decor is beautiful—like an old-world library meets British pub. There were people reading and even working near the counter, which says a lot about how inviting the space is. I ordered the “Irish Handcuffs” and a small fish & chips—asked for something light, and they gave me the kids’ plate, which was exactly what I needed. Everything was delicious. Great drinks, great food, and truly special vibes. Can’t wait to come back.”
