Golden Lion

Really enjoyed this low-key corner pub with a great name. The staff here today was super friendly and got my food out pretty fast as I had a matinee to catch. Good folks. The lunch special is a helluva deal for London. 11 quid for entree and soft drink or 13 with a pint. Good bang for the buck as we yanks say, although it's more fun to say quid for some reason. I had a steak sando with the small rocket salad and the sandwich was pretty solid -- I'd definitely go back. Fascinating neighborhood too. It's a winner 4.33333 if you crunch the #s....

**RATING DOES NOT REFLECT FOOD** Service was super friendly & it was a great pub HOWEVER the food is best described as insulting. For £28, we got microwaved food. Disappointing to say the least.

Nice little bar with good-priced drinks and a relaxed atmosphere. However, I wouldn’t recommend getting any food. Everything we tried was bland and tasted like it had been microwaved. The pie came out far too hot, as if it had been left in the microwave for way too long. Great spot for a drink, but definitely skip the food.

Warning: Bad attitude barman. I ordered 2 Guinness’s and 2 Large Sauvignon Blanc Wines. The cost was £35. Not a small amount of money for one round of 4 drinks. The barman (Alfonso tattoo) served the wines in warm half pint glasses. I said to him that this wasn’t right, and he asked me what glass I’d like it in. I replied a wine glass and he said that they’d run out and that it wasn’t his fault. He was the type of person that had his say and then I went to reply he ‘conveniently’ had to serve someone else and then each time came back to me, said something stupid and disappeared again. Very childish. Unable to manage a dispute between adults resorting to hiding behind supposedly needing to serve other customers. His attitude was very poor. Considering that there are 10 pubs in a 5-minute walk, I’d not go there. The worst thing is that I doubt he even understands why.

Authentic pub, great if you are a football fan. Went in at about 1.30pm on a weekday, ordered the award winning (all pubs seem to claim such) pie and a pint of Guinness. The stout was cold, and the food warm. locals seem to go there, always a good sign. Quiet on a weekday, nice place to enjoy a meal. The meal cost me £22.

Great pub in the heart of Soho. Had the Chicken BLT and a pint of Greene King IPA for lunch. Good portion, tasty sandwich, got my 'no mayo' order right. Pleased with an unexpected fresh rocket/ tomato side salad. Football on TVs but not too oppressive. Friendly staff.

This is a lovely cosy pub, food and service was excellent, but the big let down was the ladies toilets. Pan full of thick brown limescale and the bottom of the toilet lid was full of dust and mould! Needs addressing as it’s gives the pub a really bad look especially because they serve food!

Fantastic food and service. We ordered and sat upsairs where it was much quieter. Lovely fish and chips and steak sandwich.
