The Red Lion Amblecote in Dudley

I love this pub it's very friendly the staff are great including myself as I work there in the kitchen it is in my opinion the best pub in the area

A worthy entry into the 2025 Good Beer Guide

We went to the Spanish tapas evening we were put outside on our own with no music there was music inside and a good atmosphere

Our lovely local, amazing burger nights, great events throughout the week and Sunday sandwiches are to die for! Always greeted with a smile, happy for us to sample what's new and make alterations with the menu. Can be an issue sometimes with space as it is a small pub but the outdoor area is inviting and has heaters

Friendly pub with a lovely atmosphere. Great staff and great food

Always try to pop in for a couple of drinks over the weekend, great vibes and staff

Great burgers and staff are friendly

Overall great establishment. I cannot fault it. Traditional pub with a trendy contempary twist, that welcomes all clientele.

A great time in here some of the singing is to be desired but all good a great venue to AV fun in

Lovely pub with great atmosphere. Salopian brew with good ice gins and wine. Excellent bar food and snacks. Beer garden is exquisite with loads of nice touches all over. Thanks to the great staff too!

Always friendly staff, great atmosphere and a lovely way to spend a couple of hours with friends 😊Had a great burger and skin on chips xxx

We’ve always wanted to try the Red Lion. Such a pretty, well kept pub from the outside and I’m happy to say the inside did not disappoint. Lovely, welcoming bar staff, swiftly served and order taken. Food excellent / fish finger cob and lion burger - super tasty, hot and plentiful My gripe is I don’t like my food served in boxes, but this is how it is so I have to accept i, and It did not detract from the generous portions or the fabulous taste The place was kept scrupulously clean by one of the wait staff, and the ambience and decor was just lovely We will be back asap we’ve heard great things about your cobs and Sunday cobs too - thank you all!

Good food and good beer pity they asked to stop singing because it annoyed the neighbours while a DJ was thumping out music in the main building. Spoiled what could have been a good night. Reluctant to go back again

Visited for a friend's birthday gathering. Veggie burger was amazing! Flavoursome with amazing prices. The atmosphere of the pub was positive, clean and good vibes. Staff were friendly too, Definitely worth a visit!

Very nice cosy pub. Great food and service.

Lovely welcoming pub. Good drinks choice and lovely food. Beautiful outside area

First visit. Here Lovely pub Fast service Brilliant D.J. On. 🙂 Highly Recommended! DiscO' Dave.

Welcoming pub, great choice of ales

Quite busy, good atmosphere , nice place.

Very disappointed with fish coujons, just a sloppy mesh in the box.

my wife and I poppes in with feiends who live locally. We only had.drinks andnfound the service to be excellent. The staff were all friendly and helpful at all times. It seemed a very friendly place and the ales were all of a high standard. Next time we'll tey the foos.

Great atmosphere. Nice burgers on light fluffy baps!

I have always been a big supporter of this pub but was really disappointed today as got there several hours early for the St Patricks Day Celebrations they had on only to find that every table inside was reserved. It didn't say on the Facebook page you could do this. We were told we could sit at a table until the time of the reservation which as this was 4.00 meant we would have to sit outside. The band was on from 5.00 so this would have meant missing it. We were also asked by one of the bar staff close to 4.00 if we were part of the group in the 4.00 booking which basically meant you need to leave the table. We chose to leave and walked to The Starving Rascal which although didn't have a live band on were playing Irish music and had a good atmosphere. It's put me of going to The Red Lion for anymore special occasions.

Must say the food was very disappointing, I had a beef cob that came with salad and chips, a pork pie and a scotch egg. The cob and chips came in a box, salad was nice and fresh, the bread was also fresh but the beef was very chewy and the chips were very well cooked (probably overcooked) and completely tasteless. I tried to make the chips more palatable with some salt and vinegar only to find the vinegar was in a tiny spray bottle similar to what they put perfume in and it was impossible to get a decent amount out. The pork and jelly in the pork pie was tasty but the pastry was undercooked and slightly doughy, similarly the egg in the scotch egg was good quality with a lovely golden yolk but the coating was thin and nothing special. The beer was better than the food, I tried the holdens golden glow and the salopian oracle and both were very nice, I couldn’t fault the beer.

Person behind bar smashing bottles in bin very load no need at all 👎 very uncomfortable stay only stayed for one drink

Lovely pub, great choice of drinks, food , big portions, tasty and good value. Dog friendly

Cracking pub. Staff were good. A friendly place with a good selection of ales and very reasonably priced. We'll definitely be going back at some point.

Visited for my grandsons birthday, a lovely atmosphere, although very busy they still managed to make everyone happy.

Terrible service, terrible food, over priced. Had a Christmas meal booked and I could of got better from my local chippy! Turkey burger and chips in a box!!!!! F

Nice little real ale pub staff are very friendly and the beer is great we had the cobs and fries which were very nice tbh This pub gets very busy which to me is a good sign the prices are reasonable for drinks another plus is there's no telly blaring away with the sports channels on just a good old fashioned pub well worth a visit

refurbished pub warm clean modern and we'll managed had some food today excellent

Excellent vibe on a Saturday night. Quick service even on busy night

Absolutely appalled… we booked this back at the beginning of November and attended Saturdays 16 December and without going into detail, we received appalling service and the food was disgusting. The table wasn’t decorated, not even a festive napkin, we had to chase up our food and ‘welcome’ fizz only for it to arrive some 40 minutes later… not even an apology from the staff who had the gall to say they were busy - there were approximately 45% of their tables unoccupied and no one standing at the bar! I contacted the manager by text while still there and he asked if he could call me the next day. Suffice to say, not a dickiebird. See the photos! Now maybe ours was an isolated experience, but we won’t be taking the chance again and we will expect our deposit back.

Love it here. Great atmosphere, food, drinks etc and lovely outdoor area with heating. My fave place to go on a Saturday.

Great little pub and very busy which created an excellent atmosphere. Service was a little slow because of this but great selection and lovely building. No parking except on the street in front which is a shame. Lots of outdoor seating which is lovely in summer and has heating for winter. Nice place and worth a visit

Great choice of beer, nice atmosphere and good barman

Great pub..delicious food..Good value for money..

This establishment offers a fantastic variety of local beers and cocktails at reasonable prices, and it boasts a delightful beer garden. We placed an order for food, which was promptly delivered by the kitchen staff. The food not only arrived quickly but was also excellent, especially considering the price. The only minor quirk we noticed was that all the food was served in branded cardboard boxes. These boxes, while convenient, have a tendency to make food sweat due to their design. Typically, you'd expect food to be served on plates in a pub, so this was a bit unusual. Nevertheless, it was a minor inconvenience that didn't significantly detract from the overall experience.

Good beer( Holden's) stuffy bar area.Large and comfortable beer garden. Will return.

Great local pub, done out nice. Worth a visit if you're in the area

Nice food, outdoor heaters under cover, really enjoyed the evening.

Only went in for a coffee, friendly staff, comfortable relaxing mood

Nice local pub serving a range of beers, lagers and wine. Theme nights throughout the week. Burger night Thursday which is super. Really nice outside seating area at the rear of the pub.

Good beer(Holden's)stuffy in bar area,beer garden large and comfortable.Will return.

Food was great and service was excellent

Decent honest simple pub, food and beer.

Discussed at the size off the chilli dog for the price ,however the loaded fries was spot on

Had lovely lunch with friends in the beer garden. The food is always delicious and very good value for money. There is also a great selection of ales.

Never disappoints. Food excellent, chips to die for.

Gets very busy. Nice place. Good beer. Good outdoor if weather permitting

Fantastic public house very friendly staff and good food and beer 🍺 👌

Really lovely pub, lots of ales if you're a fan too. The food is amazing so order early because they do run out. Dog friendly too which is amazing for round here. You won't be disappointed.

Love the place, dog friendly too!

Good day for the garden with a clean furniture appeal. Food was very nice. Beer was good .great day

Didn't have any food ,but the beers and service was great and its dog friendly.

Food is excellent. Great choice of drinks too.

Such a friendly place Good service We didnt dine here but maybe nxt time Xx

Fantastic burger a chips to go with a well kept pint or 2

Fabulous venue can’t praise the booking experience enough, Top food and top service, food was fabulous, can’t wait til return,

We visited as a group of friends which consisted of 4 couples and after purchasing a large round of drink after last orders were told to whisper and not talk loud because of the neighbours. This was despite being inside . Funny that they took our money and then had an issue ! None of our our party will be returning there and didn’t appreciate Kate how we were spoken to by a female member of bar staff who was highly sarcastic and a manager was also very rude .

Went after seeing lovely photos of the cobs on facebook, thought we would give it a go and we're looking forward to it. Was not as we had hoped. The cobs included a serving of salad and also their famous fries. Sadly the cob had a very small amount of beef on it( see photo), the salad was limp and the famous fries tasted like they had been warmed up and were soft and soggy and only a small serving. Tasted like had all been left in the box some time to be honest. The best part was the crusty cob. For £6 didn't think it was value for money sadly.It is rarely I find the need to place a bad review, but I'm afraid I have no other option today.

Great pub has to be said not what I expected from the outside. Very modern and trendy well kept beer and great atmosphere too!

Good beer selection, the menu has varied options from sandwiches to burgers and loaded fries. always been a good place to go for a beer but the only drawback is the lack of bar staff during lunch periods and you'll end up waiting a while to order. Overall very good place!

I would avoid this place if you plan to go there a group of friends, service was questionable, the food was awful, you could tell it had been sat on the box for a while. Some unprofessional staff as well. There's plenty of better venues to go to.

Had a fantastic night meeting up with the family after not getting together for over a year. Very relaxed and warm atmosphere. A very covid safe place. Didn't have any worries or concerns at all. Phil and all the staff couldn't have made our night any better. Shame it had to end. Well done to all and stay safe. We'll be back ASAP.

We visited the Red Lion as a party of 6, our first sibling gathering for over a year. Our table was ready on our arrival in the outdoor courtyard. It looked so pretty with twinkly lights and potted palms, creating an intimate setting, with the tables at the required distance from each other. The table service was friendly and extremely efficient from a lovely team who all genuinely took pride in their job. The food was lovely and I’m assured the beer was delightful, as was evident by the amount consumed! Overall, a fabulous evening in a safe and monitored environment. Phil and his team are a credit to the industry and thoroughly deserve every success. Thank you.

Two friends and I sat in the covered, heated outdoor area for drinks, burgers and absolutely delicious homemade chips this evening. The pub was busy but the staff were calm, well organised and friendly, and we all felt very safe. It's great to see somewhere that has adapted so well to the current pandemic. I'll definitely be back.

The Red Lion has really made its self Covid safe very tastefully. They initiated table service from the start with a simple table number to attract attention, when you want to order. They have now covered the outside area and are providing blankets. I've been to a small number of local pubs etc and they have adapted to Covid demands better than anywhere else, whilst not ruining the atmosphere. Really recommend it.

The beer at the Red Lion is absolutely first rate. Regulars include Golden Glow, Oracle, Landlord and a few others. Generally 6 or 7 real ales on cask. They are very hot on their Covid procedures which is very reassuring. They have it well under control, and it puts some of the other local pubs to shame. The garden is super too. It's worth the walk from Wollaston, which speaks for itself.

Thursday night burger night we had tex mex and French frolic both was fab and home made chips yum yum

This is a little gem of a place. From the moment we arrived (5 ladies) we couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. We booked a table outside in the garden (Currently required by the Pub because of Covid restrictions). We were escorted to our table and the system of ordering drinks and food at the table was explained to us along with the 'one way system' and directions to the loos etc. The staff were so attentive and friendly all through the night. We ordered food off the menu..(A Pub meal type menu.) which hit the spot. I take my hat off these guys.. They have gone above and beyond to make their patrons and staff safe. The atmosphere was great and we all came away saying we had cracking night.

This is a great pub. Phil and the team are fantastic and will look after you well. Are for the first time at lunch today. What is there you couldn’t say about how good the food is. Went with the New York Toastie and chips. When I saw the wife’s onion ring potion I wish I’d gone for them!! The Covid-19 additions are sympathetic and make the pub look more traditional than before, what a great makeover. In the area and don’t give them ago ... you’re missing out!!

A nice afternoon meeting up with family in the pub. Lovely homely atmosphere, friendly serving team, good choice of beer and a lovely log burning stove. We had the pork cob and chips which was incredibly satisfying. Will definitely visit again when I am in Stourbridge.

Can’t get a table as the bloke who runs it keeps them for their ‘friends’. We thought we’d give it another go as when it re-opened we had high hopes, the chavie mums changing their kids nappies didn’t help. Now you have to ‘book’ a table. Unless you are a mindless regular I’d avoid.

Always the best of times great effort again from Phil and team . Excellent music decor and atmosphere.

What a lovely place in doors and out, lovely Sunday afternoon chill out.Pleasant surroundings and out doors is really done up so that you can sit in the garden and chill, you would not know you were in Brierley Hill.Staff pleasant and attentive.Little gem.
