A friend who lives in the area suggested we come here for a meal. Having never heard of The Red Lion I had no idea the place was here. On first impressions we like the new refurbished venue. First the choice of ciders and beer on tap is great. Second the staff are lovely and helpful. Third, well the food, it’s amazing, delicious, great value, and so much better than you would expect! The chef is brilliant! I had the slow cooked beef ribs with my choice of 2 sides; kipfler potato sand tomato with buffalo cheese warm salad. The beef was so soft and falling off the bones!!! The others at our table had beef cap and the lamb. We all loved our meals and, it seems we are going to have a meal here every 2 or 3 weeks. Come here try the place, you will love it!

Updating my previous review. A recent renovation has turned this previously decent suburban pub into a horrid pokie den. The have taken the entire bar area that previously over looked the street and had the TAB and closed in the wall, and installed 50 poker machines. Then they have mashed the TAB into the formerly nice dining/bistro/family area. And the other main attraction of a self service salad bar(with potato gems) is gone! Madness. And very sad. Probably rate this place an avoid now. A sad reflection of how pokies impact on a community.

I haven’t really spent much time in Moorooka before. I’m happy to find out that it’s a kickin’ little hub packed full of culture. They’ve got some killer African restaurants,(try the Eritrean and Ethiopian restaurants in particular), some cute little cafes AND a great pub. Just at the end of the business strip along Beaudesert Road is where you’ll find the Red Lion. It’s looks as if it’s been freshly unveiled after a renovation job, with it’s fire engine red walls, and stainless steel furnishings. The pub has a nice alfresco area, it’s very spacious on the inside, and offers a dining room that gives off something of a more sophisticated vibe. The pub grub is cheap as chips. You can get your surf and turf, and your steak and garden salad for around $ 15. The meals really are the highlight of the Red Lion. Outside of that, they’ve got your standard pub features. There’s a long row of pokies, a tiny video arcade room complete with pinball machine, a couple of pool tables and a big long bar you can come in and sit yourself down at to wile away the afternoon chatting with the bar tender. There’s a lot going on in Moorooka these days, it’s a happenin’ little place. Know that I know there’s a pub out there with good eats, I’ll probably be heading out there more often.
