Monday nights are the BEST at the Red Lion. Every Monday, Big Ed's Blues Jam brings together the best musicians in NYC to play the blues, and they never disappoint!

Great bar to meet people and to have a good time with friends. Bartender at the bar was very friendly. During the daytime there is no cover, then in the night they have a cover (not expensive) with amazing live music. This is a bar that I will repeat again! Fabulous location on Bleecker St where you can eventually go to a different pizza place, another bar or restaurant. Highly recommend if you want to spend a good time!

Wanted live music on a Sunday night and boy did we find it! The Red Lion in the Village was an awesome experience for us. We got there at around 7 PM and got a great table right in front. The band was great. The service from Briana was attentive. The food and drinks were on point. Location was great. What’s not to love. Highly recommended.

We walked by and decided to check this place out before our reservation down the block and didn't want to leave! We considered just skipping our reservation..alas, we got on our way. We had so much fun listening to music. Everyone there seems great and casual and you can tell there are good friendships among the musicians who perform. We both had beer that we liked and were able to find a seat toward the back that was comfortable. We will be back we hope!
