Noisy and uncomfortable. Even though food was good, it was expensive. Wines and other drinks high priced. More

I have been to the Lion many times. The food is always consistent and the service is very efficient. They have a good range of beer on tap, cocktails and wines. They also have live music every night of the week. More
