Red Lion Pub & Eatery

NOTE: The Red Lion closed in September 2011. Sorry. You missed it. As much as I’d like to keep a place like the Red Lion Pub to myself, I just can’t. You need to know about this place, and you need to go there. Now. The Red Lion is located on Wisconsin’s Great River Road

“If you are planning to take the Great River Road along the Mississippi River…be sure to take along these new travel guides by Dean Klinkenberg… Actually, the books are entertaining to read without leaving your chair.”
–Becky Sisco, Big River Magazine, Jan/Feb 2010.

“Hey, Just found, read and finished your Lansing to Le Claire. Being a 78 year old that has followed the Mississippi, up and down, all my life, I thought I had little more to learn about the cities, villages and crossroads along the river. Not So! Absolutley loved your book. Great history, great descriptions, great humor. Just top notch!
Thanks for the great writing.
