Red Lion holds Calle Puerto Rico 25 in the middle of Ruzafa's bar grid. It is an Irish pub first and a sports bar always.
FTN News' Valencia guide logs La Liga, Champions League, the Euros and international matches on its screens. Travelling Jezebel ranks it among the six bars in the city worth a match day.
The pull is simple: imported pints, an old fashioned pub room, and a kickoff schedule the staff actually track.
The official site calls the format an old fashioned pub, and the description holds. Nothing here chases a trend.
Expats chasing Premier League kickoffs, locals for Valencia CF, and Ruzafa regulars in between.
On big fixture nights the room fills before kickoff. The occasional Celtic music set takes over when the calendar allows.
Open daily from midday. On match days the schedule runs as late as the fixtures do.
Ruzafa's main drag sits one block west, and the Russafa market three minutes north.
