Red Lion, Jewellery Quarter

Tucked into the heart of Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter, The Red Lion is a bold and brilliant pub with a big personality – and we’re proud to now call it part of the Joule’s family. We’ve recently taken on the site and are spending time getting to know the building and the community, with plans for a thoughtful development in the works. This is a pub with plenty of soul, and we’re here to celebrate everything that makes it special.

Inside, The Red Lion is full of character. A proper pub with multiple rooms, each space offers something a little different – from the warm, wood-panelled bar and tucked-away snugs to the showstopping club room upstairs, perfect for private parties and big occasions. The pub also boasts a hidden gem: a split-level garden terrace out back, ideal for sunny pints, laid-back lunches, or late evenings under the lights.

The building itself is a local landmark –  a striking piece of Birmingham’s pub heritage, packed with original details and a proud presence on Warstone Lane. Whether you’re popping in after work, meeting mates for the weekend, or planning a celebration, The Red Lion delivers the kind of relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that turns a quick drink into a proper session.

The Next Chapter at The Red Lion

Joule’s Brewery is proud to be investing £500,000 into the development of The Red Lion, marking the start of an exciting new chapter for this much-loved Jewellery Quarter pub. Our plans focus on creating a beautifully crafted Victorian parlour pub, brought back with care, detail and authenticity, while remaining firmly rooted as a community pub at heart.

This investment presents an opportunity to take on a truly distinctive Birmingham pub in partnership with an independent brewer, with a supportive tenancy model and a strong long-term relationship. We’re looking for an operator with a genuine passion for food, beer and wine, ready to be part of something new and exciting in the Jewellery Quarter.
