Had a brilliant time in the Red Lion, Ken & Jude, not to mention Keith, have made a huge difference to this bar.  It was great to see them again, and we look forward to seeing them again next year, where ever it may be in Argassi.

Ken & Jude make the place....... need I say more

Seth H  (10 September 2007)        10/10

Ken & Jude are top notch and we'll miss the red lion. would have had only half as good a time in zante without them. thanks for everything guys, keep up the great work.

Jodie P  (09 September 2007)        10/10

hey this bar is wkd ken jude and keith were great to me ive just got back from workin in greece they are a great laugh and trully luvly people see u sune guys luv jodie xxx

Angela B  (08 September 2007)        10/10

Didn't like this place on previous vists but Ken & Jude have turned the place around!!!

Bill S  (04 September 2007)        10/10

Have to agree with message below I have never liked the Red Lion but with Ken & jude it had a different feeling about it

a great place for a laugh and to meet up with people even when it was crowded at the bar they both nod to you tell you they will be with asap while they are serving and they were.
 
 

Jon E  (03 September 2007)        10/10

Ken and Jude you made the Red Lion a much better place never used there on previous visits but on this holiday this was our nightly watering hole, great bar with beter hosts!!

 
see you next year!!!

Neil M  (30 August 2007)        10/10

Just to let anybody know i am not working at the Red Lion this year. If anybody wants to get in contact with me my email is neil_s_mcleod@hotmail.com. RED LION ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

Lauren S (26 July 2007)

 i am goin 2 Zante at the end of August and i cant wait!! i just wondered if Neil is still workin at the Red Lion?

Natalie F  (23 July 2007)        10/10

The Red Lion is great! Ken and Jude were the best bar staff i met - very friendly and chatty.
There were live singers performing in the pub who were brilliant. The drinks there were the better than at alot of the other pubs and bars as many just used cheap altermatives to the spirits and/or flat beer!
I can't believe what that guy has written about it being too English - thats a load of rubbish!
Someone else has written that it was roasting in the back where he pool tables are - thats now air conditioned and the coolest part of the pub...
Its a great bar, i applaude Ken and Jude  I would well reccomend you pay them a visit and see for yourself.
I've been back home for a day, i miss Zante!

Alison W  (03 July 2007)        10/10

I agree with Jon

You must have been taking a long time to "walk past" if you managed to make your assessment, therefore it has to be supposition on your part!!  Each to their own!! 

From a personal point of view I enjoy the company of the bar managers (Ken & Jude), the venue is immaterial.
 
See you in September.
 
Ali

 

Gary G  (19 June 2007)        9/10

Had a good night in this Bar, not everything has to do with image, the great staff this year made it a great place for a drink. 

Louise H  (18 June 2007)        7/10

Went in the Red Lion once and the place could do with a bit of work doing on it (modernising or birghtening or something), it was a bit dull and it was roasting at the back were the pool tables are. Not sure they had aircon, they had fans but it was roasting. Met some friends in there who said it was much better a couple of years ago.

Shane D  (28 October 2006)         

I'd just like to pay compliment to Neil and Clarky and all at the red lion for making our holiday one to remember. We went into the red lion on the first night and couldn't help but return each night for the atmosphere and also the friendship and hospitality of Neil and Clarky. I would strongly recommend a visit (and some of Neils shots :-)  )  We hope that Neil and Clarky will return next year for yet another memorable holiday. Cheers Neil

Simon M  (26 October 2006)         

can't fault it, was made to feel realy welcome by neil. good selection of cheap drinks and food. Sunday lunch well worth it at 6 euros. we went in about 9 nights of our holiday and realy enjoyed it. entertainment excellent too. true brits bar!!!

Jon E  (18 July 2006)         

The previous comment is linked to old reviews I have left on other places but is nothing to do with me!!!

Never been in here it looks a decent place!!

Gary J  (17 July 2006)         

If you like karoake then this place could be good (although if you like karoake this place does then your better off in benidorm !! or blackpool) same thing every night!! only went in there once never again but had to pass every night on the way into town and wouldnt consider a second visit in there

David C  (28 June 2006)

Rob G  (15 August 2005)         

is neil from last year working back in the red lion.

Julie /  (13 August 2005)         

We arrived back home last night from a brill time in Zante.  We went to the Red Lion every night and participated in the Karaoke.  We had a right laugh and we are sure everyone else did, very entertaining if nothing else.  All the staff there are very welcoming especially Neil, Dave, Clare and Clarky.  If you are going to Argassi you must visit the Red Lion, the cocktails there are lovely and every time you sing you get a free shot!!!! The meals are very good value for money, we had breakfast there and also Sunday lunch which was very tasty.  We had a great holiday and hope to return there some day.

Julie Phil and Alex   13th August 2005

Kriss K  (14 July 2005)         

Fab bar, just got back from argasi to boring old uk. Have to say, have NEVER seen karaoke done like Dave does! Impossible to describe, but every night was awesome with "big D" on the microphone. Gotta get back as soon as poss,especially for a rerun of the "naked nutter" sketch. How did you manage to get so many babes to take their clothes off????

Will try to get back in August, PS only joking about the babes they're actually real sexy, ESPECIALLY MARTINA!!!!

Annelie S  (30 June 2005)         

All of you who are working at Red Lion in Argassi, if you wont do mail me do it at this mailadress: annelie@soderbo.se :-)

Hallo! Here is me Annelie, do  you remebere me?  The flight home yesterday went ok, but I miss Argassi and all of you. Hopefully I will go back someday. And if I do that, I think some of you can show me more of Zakynthos!

Alexia   (27 June 2005)         

i wish all the new staff luck.

 
however it feels like the places soul has gone. neil made the place his own and everyone loved it and him. he was a total personality person (bit of a p***y man too, but we all have our weeknesses!)
your missed neil.........cry....cry.................come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mathew T  (23 June 2005)         

Since I didn't know Argassi, being it my first time there, I relied on my mate to direct me to a quality bar, and the Red Lion was the first place I went and sank a few, quite a few. The staff are real friendly, great entertainment from karaoke, sport and even Peter Kay and Only Fools and Horses on big screen. Peter Kay even mentioned the Red Lion in one of his gags, probably not the same one but who knows. Awesome place! 10/10

Adam L  (23 June 2005)

This is simply the bar in Argasi - spent many a night in here getting well and truly slaughtered.  Still, was never too drunk to attempt karaoke .  Hope my picture remains behind the bar for many years (or at least, I expect to see it next time I'm there!!!).  Staff here are fantastic - special mention for Claire and "The Dude" (never learnt yer name mate!).  Anyone who goes to Argasi simply must make time for the Lion.  10/10

Sammy R  (02 June 2005)         

yassou my family - kostas elias matina phillipa, alice & vasou!!!
