Red Lion Public House in Southampton

Went for a trip to home town today, a history reminder of Southampton. This beautiful old public house has so much history. The staff were so happy and helpful, polite and funny. The food was good quality and reasonably priced. A clean friendly place to go. Bar billiard's table upstairs and a lovely parrot called Molly. If your in Southampton and want history and atmosphere visit this old pub.

A very old pub. Quick quiet pit stop mid afternoon so it was quiet. Efficient service and had some regulars in who seemed very at home creating a friendly atmosphere. Lots of phone calls whilst we were there for booking evening meals so sounds popular but food wasn't served at the time of our visit. Toilets for the ladies were upstairs and the rickety old uneven steps definitely give you the taste of how old this place is or how careful you need to be with the amount you drink!

Popped in here for the first time on a pub crawl and absolutely adored the decor and style of the indoors. However, it is very much a local pub for local people and you’re not made very welcome if you’re a new face. Besides that they had a great selection of beers on tap and was reasonably priced.

Best Roast dinner in town. If you've got a big appetite then this is where you want to be. Good selection of drinks and great service 😊🍻

Haven't been to this pub, for 20 years , but it's just how I remember it, great , friendly boozer, definitely will call again after moving home recently, loved the parrot.

My wife and 40 ladies from her club Forever Friends had a Xmas lunch in the Red Lion. The food and service was exemplary. Nothing was too much trouble. Everyone enjoyed the lovely food. Thank you to everyone at The Red Lion.

Probably one of the most historic pubs in Hampshire. A must visit for anyone visiting Southampton, it feels like stepping back in time when you enter the main part of the pub. An interesting bunch of regulars frequent or should I say haunt the pub too!

This is our favourite proper old fashioned pub with great food! The mixed roast dinner pork and beef is excellent, red hot and full of flavour, 10 out of 10 for food and service...

Absolutely wonderful place to go & eat, we got there at 845 & they were more than happy to cook for us the food was excellent very large portions aswell would highly recommend if you want something a little different & it's steeped with history, banging & the parrot is back!!!

A great trip back in time, this pub is a nice surprise. Hidden among the normality of the high street. Didn't eat on our visit, lady behind bar was friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth a stop for a pint or two and a game of bar billiards.
