The Golden Lion bristol

Good beer. Great live music. Cool, friendly bar staff. Probably the best pub on Gloucester road.

Great blues jam! There was this amazing girl on violin and this cool dude who played guitar and drums and he sang! Blues jam night is amazing I'd definitely go back!

Great venue. Always new live music. Good Guinness.

2nd time we came here (both for cricket)!. Nice pub and fantastic atmosphere. Shame there is no disabled loos (I myself am disabled). Many thanks to the loveliest barmaid (blue hair), for letting me use the staff loo. Wanna meet up one day? Lol x

Great live music venue, and serves a nice Pliny of Gem, to boot!

Good price, lovely staff. Interior could do with an update but I liked it overall

A quite astonishing venue located just outside HMP Saville Wing. One thing this pub does not lack is atmosphere. It offers live music almost every evening with different genres for each day. If you don't enjoy or fancy a specific genre that's being played, the staff will allow you to openly boo the musicians on stage - a very diverse set of rules that we the public will happily abide by. Now, for the main course. The Guinness served here is mouth-watering. There is one specific member of staff that cradles the pint glass as it's being poured and allows plenty of time for the pint to settle and the head to form. An expert in his field and in contention to be the Godfather of my next born. The intimate smoking area outside allows you to meet new people and laugh at the homeless. The reason why this doesn't get the full five stars is due to the amount of cretins coming up asking for money. It's okay the first few times but after a while it gets a little bit boring. Perhaps this pub could be situated in another part of Bristol, one where you're not harassed by folks smelling of urine. Overall, would recommend this to anyone and everyone. If you decide drop by do send them my regards. Vern

I love this place good quality beers great atmosphere and always decent live music

We had a really nice vegan roast at The Golden Lion. The pork tofu was good but the mocken roast chicken was spot on. Roasties and veg were tasty however the Yorkshire pud didn't turn out so well and was quite soggy. Desert was absolutely delicious and massive portions (we had mocha praline cake and pecan pie). All together a really nice lunch and would deffo recommend giving the chicken style roast a go.

Always a great atmosphere and lots going on. Staff are always friendly, never had a bad time there!
