Good Beer Guide

Red Lion, Swanage

Improve This Listing

Traditional 17th-Century inn in the heart of the historic town, serving up to five ales on gravity from the ground floor cellar behind the public bar. Two regular beers are complimented up to three guest ales. A large selection of real ciders and perries is a big draw, with the range displayed on blackboards in both bars. The lounge has a restaurant area where quality food is served, with curry and steak nights always popular. The large, partly covered garden is busy throughout the year.

Information for this venue is provided by the East Dorset Branch of CAMRA
