The "Red Lion" is a specialist beer pub, on a pedestrianised street just off the main square in Venlo town centre.

It a notably and praiseworthy exception to most beer cafes in Holland, it doesn´t concentrate on Belgian beers, but Dutch ones. Though it´s even more specific than that, specialising in products from the local province of Limburg (whose flag bears a red lion, hence the pub´s name). They try to have at least one beer from every in Limburg, which just happens to be Holland´s most heavily-breweried region.

Here´s a report from Philip Booton:
"The cafe is just off the main square in Venlo, at 4 Steenstraat. It is a fairly typical Dutch cafe, long and narrow, with the bar on the left-hand side. Lots of breweriana and maps of Limburg in evidence. There were 7 beers on draught (although there are normally 8), including Christoffel Blond and Hertog Jan Meibock. More than 30 in bottle, listed on a blackboard to the left as you enter. Beers from Kerkom, Achel, Martens, St Jozef from Belgium, plus others from Dutch Limburg. I'm not sure if every brewer in Limburg was represented - are Heeren van Beeck still
