British Restaurants near Glendale, WI

“Pleasantly surprised with this joint!
We went a little wary with the underwhelming reviews, but it was close, I was hungry, and it was happy hour (3-6).
The Happy Hour specials are pretty neat - $2 off drafts (and they have a huge selection), half off appetizers, and $5 well spirits.
Oh, and cuz it was a Wednesday, half off all whiskeys!

Being 5pm on a Wednesday, the place was pretty empty and the sign up front said bar seating only. Which was empty too, so it was fine.
Our server was not all smiles, but a bit more shy-ish, but not curt or rude, just shy-like. She was quite nice and service was prompt and efficient.
Interior was on the darker side (it’s a bar), but tastefully done and clean. TVs were great and sitting in the bar afforded some awesome views of the soccer game going on at the time.
Oh, the place is located inside the Bayshore Mall, on the second floor, next to the movie theater. Park in the Lydell garage, second floor, and you can come right into the building.

Cheese curds
These were great! Not hands down the best I’ve had, but very well done, quite tasty and came with a neat honey mustard sauce that felt very different from other honey mustards I’ve had.

Crab and Goat Cheese Balls
Five balls of deep fried cheese balls atop honey (says honey orange sauce, but it tasted like good honey), garnished with green onions.
Not my cup of tea, but I knew going in cuz I’m not a fan of goat cheese. Hubby wanted to try, but didn’t seem really wowed either.

Wings
Very well done, moist on the inside and crispy on the outside, just like I like it!
Didn’t try any naked ones and they don’t have dry rub, so we just had the tossed in 2 sauces. For 18 wings, we can choose 3, but we just went with 2. They came in rectangular bowls, and were tossed in sauce, and also swimming in sauce (which we could dunk our cheese curds in… yum)

Scotch glaze - very honey-ey with a tang of scotch as an aftertaste. On the sweet side.
Sweet Garlic Teriyaki - very sweet. Too sweet to taste the garlic. I’ll pass on this next time.

Next time, try the Buffalo (two guys who came in after us got 18 of them just Buffalo, and they looked good).
Perhaps try the bourbon BBQ. Maybe naked with sauce on side?

Onion rings
very crispy and delicious. If I had to chose, I'd go for the cheese curds, but these are a very close second.

Loaded Fries
So the fries here aren't terribly exciting. The "loaded" part of this is great though. The loaded part including the brisket ($5 uncharge, no discount for happy hour) is even better and worth the uncharge. Being on keto, I asked for the toppings to be on a separate plate, and that was delicious. But I wish they changed their potatoes or something... The fries themselves are just meh.

IPA
Boulevard Wheat - nah. Pass
Terrapin Hopsecutioner IPA - quite hoppy, melikes.
Terrapin High and Hazy IPA - Hany Likes. Really good.

Overall an awesome happy hour dinner! The wings were so good and at such a great price point being half off that we didn’t try the burgers, but we will definitely be back, so we’ll try them next time.

Parking: Lydell garage floor 2 would be closest“

“My husband is a huge soccer fan so we decided to do the rehearsal dinner for our wedding this summer at the Red Lion out on the back patio. It was the most perfect venue and meal! Our friends and family raved about the food and planning everything (including drink tickets, menu, and dealing with a year long postponement during a pandemic) was easy with their event coordinator. We were able to play games on the deck and mingle and had plenty of room when a few extra unexpected guests arrived. Would recommend for any event!“

“Between Three Lions Pub and its sister bar - Red Lion Pub, I’ve been many times. The food is always excellent with a good selection of draft beers (the fish and chips is top notch and I personally recommend pairing it with a Smithwicks). For any soccer fans out there, it’s definitely the place to watch the game! The bartenders and servers are all fun yet attentive. The place is clearly the kind of pub that has its cast of regulars, which is always a good sign in my book. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly with booths, tabletop, and bar seating. It’s a proper British pub. There is readily available street parking as well.“
