The Lion in Bristol

Always fabulous, food and well-kept beers. Friendly family-run local. Getting ever harder to get a table, especially for their excellent Sunday lunch.One year on, we've not changed our minds. Just as fabulous post pandemic.

Amazing pub, great service and food. Planning on visiting a lot from now on, the veggie/vegan food is fantastic. Great customer service who genuinely care.

Absolutely overrated. Neighborhood pub with ordinary food. Was told to wait 25mins before ordering. Appetizer was fancily named artichoke hearts dumped out of a can and sliced in half. Not sure why I had to wait for that. Stew and burgers were sold out. The next choice of Chilli was plain and 50% rice.

The place is incredible. The food, the people, the atmosphere - everything is amazing.

Visited on a Saturday evening so very busy but a nice pub. Food looked good so will definitely go back to try it.

My friend recommended The Lion as she said its the best roast she's ever had and she was right. The food is utterly delightful, every single bit of food on the plate is made with love. Service is just lovely, the gentle who served us the first time we went was so helpful and accommodating. The pub itself is so quaint and cosy. It really has a wonderful homely feel. Can't recommend this place enough.

Beautiful, hidden gem in Clifton, Bristol. Small interior but lovely inside. Family-run. Excellent selection on tap. Always get served with a FREEZING cold glass by the friendly barman. And the food is to die for, even for vegetarians!

Excellent and attentive service, we were even moved to the garden without asking, as soon as a table became available.Well kept ale and nice food - perfect after a day walking around Bristol.

Lovely lamb and Pork roast dinners (beef and veg options also available) by the fire, lovely service in this family run pub. Food was brilliant, parsnip croquette and dauphinoise potatoes were a nice touch. The vegan apple crumble was also lovely. Would definitely go again.

Delicious food: I had the salmon cake, and it comes with a avocado and cucumber salad. We spent only 18£ per person.The beer was good; but we especially appreciate the welcoming atmosphere. Thanks!
