Red Lion Prosecco Lounge and Drinks Bar

You'll find yourself tucked away on Red Lion Yard, just off Bridgegate, stepping into somewhere that takes its bubbles seriously without any of the pretence. The Red Lion Prosecco Lounge actually knows what it's doing with Italian sparkling wines—none of that cheap stuff masquerading as proper prosecco. It's the kind of place where you can settle in for an evening without feeling like you need to dress up or spend a fortune, but the drinks are genuinely well-made. The atmosphere strikes that sweet spot between sophisticated and genuinely welcoming, which is rarer than you'd think in town. Whether you're after a glass of something crisp midweek or fancy mixing it with cocktails at the weekend, it works.
