    If waiting in line for the Matterhorn at Disneyland were a bar, The Red Lion would be it. Also, there's this: http://youtu.be/BlLCkGCbvpw

    I'm in love with the waitress that looks like Julianne Moore (only younger and hotter). Say hi to her and become mesmorized by her smile.

    It's an 'easy to miss' place if you headed there for the first time. The food was really good, we ordered the pretzels, potato pancakes and sausage platter. Everything was delicious. Great ambience!
