Nice pub which is great for watching things such as football and other sports with a large amount of big TVs. The only downside would be a small selection of beers were available when I last went.

Under new management who have not paid staff correctly and bullied and unfairly dismissed staff. Please avoid.

A lovely looking and beautifully restored Edwardian pub. Good selection of beers. It's quite small and cosy. Staff are good. The bar manager dealt very well with the students who were around who were too drunk to be served. Close to the University, it's good to see that everyone can coexist in the bar. I imagine it's quieter during the week. Sports on TV and support for Aberdeen F.C. Worth a visit.

Nice pub with great locals and handsome bar staff. Venoms are a must after a couple of pints and when the rugby boys in you know your in for a laugh.

One of the best bars in Aberdeen. All the staff and customers are so friendly and welcoming. So nice to see a place which has such a lovely mix of students and locals who all get along so well. If you are a student, from Aberdeen or just visiting the Red Lion needs to be on your visiting list!

A home borne of social legends. Coming from the deepest south, we were shown a place and friendship by Euan, Sarah and crew, with multiple pints of recognition. Grateful for the faith restored in humanity. Pop in! Liberation shall ensue😊

Go here on Subday evenings for a folk song "open mic" evening 6pm till 10pm. Bring your instrument and the songs you know.... and money for your beer.

Really great. Much better than the Bobbin, which is awful. P.s. I am a customer, not staff. Up the Cromwell Reds. 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️

Come here at least 2 times a week and don’t know if there is a local better than it. Pub quiz on a Tuesday is a hit especially with students (which I am). Bar staff are amazing and always up for a laugh, which is the only thing you can ask for :)

The red lion pub has a brilliant atmosphere, very close to the town centre and the university. They often have events, and the local residents are very welcoming. Could not recommend enough a visit to the Red Lion. Try the Venom’s!!!!

Owner a gentle enough guy. Only bar on the High Spital (ought to be more). Dead quiet - no-one else in there but me. Next door cafe buzzing with students - too busy. I asked if they did food? NO!! Something to think about - plus - also - "" We have filter coffee - always ready - how about that for an idea - no need for fancy machines or 3-5 minute wait for a simple cup of decent coffee (not instant? A no brainer really! Try Belgium - whether you drink wine, beer, coffee, tea, water - you are equally welcome to stay in a bar as long as you want - even with one drink.

The red lion è come uno si immagina un pub inglese: buona birra a buon prezzo. Abbiamo preso una Tennets e una McEwan’s a 6.20 £!

Good old fashioned pub. Struggling as it has changed hands recently. Close to Pittodrie but when the Dons move it may be the death knell. I hope not as I have been having a refreshment there for 40 + years. I think it struggling due to changing demographics. Not many students can afford to drink now and there are many locals whose beliefs deny them alcohol. Strange as the word alcohol is Arabic!

Freindly historical bar. Great atmospheric ceiling complete with rampant lions painted in red. I coudnt begin to describe the rest of the ceiling. Amazing drinks selection for a pub outside the city center. Some craft beer and lager. The usual favourites too Tennants guiness and i think even mcewans export on tap. They have a decent sized screen fro folks to watch sport. Juke box and a darts area complete with a big diveder so the darts cant bounce off the board and land in somones pint. They even sell chocolate behid the bar tunnocks tea cakes ive never seen that before. Its a cosy wee local pub with friendly locals and is dog friendly.

I was only here on business and I had saw the owner Mandy Miller, take a much younger girl by the throat for no reason, then proceeded to pull on the girls hair, not something I was expecting to see from a 5 star reviewed establishment and somewhere that is supposedly highly recommended. This is not somewhere I would want to take any of my business for so much as even a coffee, and for any future business I have I will not be going there and I will be pointing everyone I know to elsewhere as well. I would highly Not recommend this establishment.

We went here during Aberdeen restaurant week for the first time and the tapas was delicious and had a good selection of veggie options too. I also got sangria which was lovely. The waitress we had was so polite and attentive. 100% will be visiting again :)
