The Old Red Lion

In a narrow enclave, a historical gem exudes the timeless charm of an authentic English pub, with roots that trace back to the 1600s. Its alluring ambiance is amplified by friendly service and an impressive bar stocked with a collection of approximately 35 whiskies, catering to connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. Ideal for relaxed afternoon sojourns or vibrant evening gatherings, this pub resonates with the lively hum of patrons enjoying post-work pints. The beverage menu offers a curated selection of cask and craft ales, impressive Guinness pours, and reliably rendered traditional but simple bar snacks—although be forewarned, the chips can be just the wrong side of greasy. Patrons may find the establishment compact, however, its compelling allure is enhanced by its convenient proximity to Holborn station, making it an enduring choice for those seeking both camaraderie and character.
