First visited : 1 January 2014
This large pub sits on the corner of York St and Rochdale Road. I must have been scribbling frantically because I've actually misspelt it as "Lyon" in the book.
Because of its position the pub has an unusual interior layout with three separate lounge areas at odd angles to each other. Each one has a large TV screen as the pub is pretty much given over to football watching and a banner behind the bar declares their allegiance to Manchester United. Posters for forthcoming games advertised free food at half time and there was a large vat of hotpot below one of the screens. I was hungry but didn't risk walking in front of the screen to find out if there was any left. The mood in the pub was subdued because United were losing at home to Tottenham with ten minutes to go.
The colour scheme inside is red ( as you might have guessed ) and grey and spotlessly clean and tidy with comfortable wall seating. I do have to mark it down for a very unfriendly barmaid but I'd go there again.
