The Red Lion

About

Considered by many to be one of the Best Real Ale Pubs in the area, the Red Lion is well known for its wide selection of real ales, served in a beautifully appointed pub maintained in a traditional style, with further seating available in the spacious beer garden. The Red Lion also offers a range of draught lager and ciders, spirits and bottled beverages, including an extensive gin and whisky menu. There is a pub quiz every Wednesday (very popular with the locals) as well as a pool table, complementary free wifi and daily newspapers, and the full selection of Sky Sports, BT Sports and freeview TV channels. The Red Lion has been a pub for 175 years - having been originally built in 1844 to serve the 'navvies' constructing the Penmaen railway tunnel. It was re-built in 1898 by the brewers, Samuel Allsopp & Co, and was historically owned by a number of other breweries before passing into private ownership.
