"Price: £5.70 for Paulaner Nestled on Kennington Park Road and just a two-minute stroll from the Kennington tube station, The Old Red Lion is a traditional, unpretentious pub in Kennington. This establishment has a rich history, with a pub on this site since 1750, although the current building dates back to the 1930s. Formerly a Charringtons pub, it boasts a charming mock Tudor design and is Grade II listed. Inside, the pub features a two-bar layout that continues the Tudor theme, complete with oak beams and low doorways connecting the bars. The central servery adds to the authentic pub experience. At the back, there's a bright and airy additional seating area, along with a spacious sun trap beer garden—perfect for sunny days. Comfy chairs and sofas throughout the pub create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Part of the @portobellobrewing collection of pubs, The Old Red Lion offers a diverse selection of beers, with sixteen options available. I opted for a Paulaner, one of my personal favorites, and it certainly didn't disappoint. The food menu is filled with classic pub dishes, infused with some cosmopolitan flair. If you're visiting on a Sunday, be sure to try their notable roast dinners. I dropped by on a Saturday lunchtime just after the doors opened and had the pleasure of meeting Ralph, the pub's owner. He shared insights about the establishment and its highly popular roast dinners. Ralph also mentioned that they’re starting live music evenings, with the first performance featuring blues band JKS Blues tonight. Kennington has definitely added another gem to its lineup with The Old Red Lion. It offers a wonderfully laid-back vibe and is an excellent spot for enjoying good food and drinks. If you find yourself in SE11, make sure to pay this pub a visit. (Note: Information accurate as of my visit on 06/08/22.)"
