The Red Lion

The Red Lion is a restored Victorian parlour pub in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, with traditional craftsmanship, reclaimed materials and a collection of cosy spaces designed for relaxed drinking and conversation. Original details have been retained as part of a substantial restoration, giving the building a sense of history while making room for new areas and uses.

The pub’s drinks offer centres on cask and cold beers from a Shropshire brewery, alongside a carefully selected wine range. The atmosphere is shaped by intimate snugs, a real fire and the character of the historic interior, making the venue suitable for a quiet drink, informal catch-ups and longer social visits.

Food is led by stonebaked pizza served from The Quarter Slice, a dedicated hatch within the pub. The pizza operation sits alongside the drinks offer rather than changing the building’s traditional pub identity, giving the venue an easy option for casual dining. The overall style is straightforward and sociable, with good food, beer and wine at its centre.

Upstairs, the Club Room provides a separate setting for gatherings and celebrations. The room adds flexibility for groups while keeping the main pub suited to smaller visits. A meeting and function space is also available, supporting private or organised occasions.

Outside, the courtyard and Beer Shed create an additional area for drinking and socialising. These spaces give the pub a different feel from the snug interior, while remaining connected to the building’s pub setting. Regular music and entertainment add to the social character, and dogs are welcome.

The Red Lion suits beer drinkers, wine fans, pizza diners and groups looking for a characterful pub with several distinct areas. The combination of restored Victorian detail, intimate seating, outdoor space and flexible rooms gives the venue a broad role within the Jewellery Quarter, from an after-work drink to a planned gathering.
