If you ever wondered where Doctor Who might park his TARDIS for a pint, then look no further than The Red Lion Lincoln Square. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Lincoln Avenue, this English pub boasts authenticity and hardy fare to warm you on those cold winter nights. The menu tempts with tried-and-true British favorites like beef Guinness and shepherd’s pie. With a cozy fireplace, Beatles paraphernalia, and a life-size telephone booth, the authentic decorations and homey ambiance are sure to transport you across the Atlantic.
This husband-and-wife-owned haven flaunts homemade foods and decadent desserts, from fall favorites like pumpkin and apple pies to savory bourbon-soaked bread pudding. Enjoy a Pimm’s cup nightcap or a refreshing Dark and Stormy on a warm summer afternoon. Sit back with some popcorn and a cold beer and enjoy some classic movies that are often played for late-night guests.
Revel in the live jazz band on Tuesday evenings or chow down on Friday’s all-you-can-eat fish and chips, prepared just as it is in jolly ol’ England. Fair warning—prepare to fight your friends for the last bit of curry sauce for your chips. With a generous single malt offering, outdoor seating from May to October, and fun events like “The Walking Dead” viewing, this quaint little pub can satiate any appetite. So climb aboard the TARDIS and set the destination to 4749 North Rockwell Street. Cheers!
