❤️ A superb E6 locals pub.

The Red Lion is located on High Street South which is at the quieter end of East Ham High Street. East Ham Tube is just over a ten minute walk away.
.
The Red Lion formerly (The Hammers) was built in 1841 which makes it East Ham’s oldest surviving pub. This is a red brick two storey pub which is clad in claret tiles in homage to this pubs heritage as a staunch West Ham United pub. The pub was refurbished back in 2018 and the pub’s original name reinstated.
.
The decor here is contemporary and has an American bar feel to it. The are exposed brickwork walls which are accentuated by red neon and led lights. This one bar pub has a good size bar and a pool table to one side. The seating here is comfy leather banquettes and booths plus traditional low level seating. At the rear of the pub is a large beer garden which was under construction at the time of visiting.

The beer choice is straightforward and well priced, I had a pint of Amstel which was an enjoyable pint and cost only £4.40. This pub has a strong pizza offering so I thought I’d try one out. I had the Salsiccia E Friarelli pizza which has Italian pork and chilli flakes on it, my pizza was fantastic and I couldn’t finish it, it was so filling. Price point was good, most pizzas cost around £13. This pub also offers roasts on a Sunday.
.
The pub opens at 4pm during the week and I arrived just after opening.
The atmosphere was relaxed and calm with a few locals in attendance. The soundtrack was British indie and American rock which created a inviting ambiance around the place. The pub has live music nights, DJ nights and quizzes to keep you entertained. The service was great, the staff here were very personable and nothing was a problem.
.
The @redlione6 is another footy pub which has reinvented itself and done a cracking job. The drinks price point makes this an inviting pub for the local community and the food is tasty and hearty. This pub is an absolute triumph and a must visit East Ham pub.
