The Red Lion — Restaurant in Rotherham

Great Pub, Great Staff and good selection of drinks... So why a 2 Star Review? It's for the quiz experience on Thursday night (13/03) to be precise.

Went to join ithe daughter and her mates with the quiz, as well as meeting up with an old friend and to watch some football on the TV

Anyhow as the night went on, it appeared we were doing well in the quiz. A mixture of youth and two 40+ blokes answering majority of questions... Not a mobile phone in sight (check your CCTV) :-)

So as I finished the quiz and was having a chat with my mate, my daughter was told they'd won the quiz - but as they were cheating 'because no one should have got all/certain answers correct'

As Kieran (not sure if he was the owner or a glorified regular) was doing his rounds with the other players, he was happily informing everyone that the winners had been cheating.. shame, if you have questions you expect no one to answer, then that is wrong (unfortunately the 2 old farts knew the answers)

Shame Kieran had to be rude to my daughter and her friends. They received the drinks vouchers - but out of principle, they handed the vouchers back - as they weren't happy being accused (pubs are meant to be encouraging customers in, not making them not want to go in)

So, last night was the first and last time I'll be in the pub (so I won't be missed). Might try the Tiger another night...

So, hats off to Kieran - cracking job. You soured what was a good night and a nice catch up with people

Enjoy the drinks...

Good local pub. Friendly staff, reasonable prices and an okay selection of drinks, including a few ales on the pump. There is no food but they have bar snacks. There isn't much seating inside and it's always busy so it can be hard to get a spot occasionally, but it does have a decent beer garden so it's less of an issue on a nice day. There's always sport on the TV and a pool table so there is always a good atmosphere and it is our go to pub...

Ok , first time in for 3 years due to previous management & then a bombshell with the last landlord, 3 of us enjoyed a pint but the pub was empty , I sympathise with new management its going to be very hard to bring Red Lion back to the pub it was 3 or 4 years back , good luck , I can't see it being my local again, Horse &...
