The Salmon in Leicester

Lovely pub nice and clean good beer darts

Very clean and reasonable price of food and drinks

Ive become the Salmons newest 'regular' drinker. Without doubt the best pub in Leicester City area. West Country ales seldomn seen outside of Birmingham area, recommend the Fireside ale its a really great tasty pint of real ale. The cobs are also excellent. Throw in live sport without the yob factor sports bar, the easy but vibrant atmosphere is welcoming.

Refurbished last year it seems, now just one open room, doesn't feel like the back street pub it used to. Music playing and sports on TV.s

A great pub all newly decorated. It's a shame the barmaid didn't know what a bitter lemon drink was!!! Otherwise my partner loved the beer. A great pub

Great pub, great atmosphere, well worth a visit, especially as part of a pub crawl.

Absolutely great if you are a regular, but it has it's quiet times and it's busy times when the matches are on. But great staff and they are trying their best to really welcome new people in. So give it a go because the ales are really good so if you are a real ale drinkers this is a must!! And the cobs are amazing too!

Went in on a night out on Leicester, Good Beer and Good Atmosphere friendly.

Nice traditional pub. Friendly service And traditional cobs

After many years, a revisit to this hidden watering hole confirms that it is still one of the best pubs in the city centre. It's about 5-10 minutes walk away from the main shopping areas, but well worth the effort to seek out for the log fire, calm atmosphere and decent real ales.

Nice refurbished. Will be in again. Just had beer so can't comment on food.

Great old school city centre pub:-)Not eaten there yet, so I can't say.The new refurbishment looks smart.

Psychedelic! Need some dark glasses for the mental carpet & wallpaper!

Very friendly and cosy pub,beautifully refurbished will definitely be going back

Great selection of beers Nice cosy fire in the corner. I tried The pig on the wall mild a very satisfying pint at a great price.

Great pint of Old Original, but now £5 a pint. Prices not advertised either.

It would be a lot nicer pub without the Sky Sports telly box

Good quiz neet. Nice choice of real ales too.

First time visit today, just a quick pint, have to say what a little gem, service, beers ( 13 real ales ) atmosphere. Log fire, will definitely be back for a proper drink, made to feel very welcome. Why have we not found this before, lovely clean cosy pub.

The new refurb looks great, feels very comfy and clean. We were served by a lovely irish man who was very polite and accommodating! Garden looks great and working heaters are a plus. Will come again.

Love the refurbishment. Beer was in very good condition. 2 ciders on handpull as well.

I did not have any food,just popped in for a drink. Lovely ambiance friendly pub,served by a pleasant and friendly Lithuanian barman.

After the last review and hoping for better things after a re-fit a return visit was made. The refit is substantial in both format and design but banquet seating is debatable as one person seems to occupy a lot of space. The very poor famous cob”s are still a shadow of their previous standards. Worse still the beer was in poor condition. The manages seem unconcerned and have their own little group annoying customers watching the sport Sadly the last visit after years of enjoying one of Leicesters pubs.

Friendly staff a good choice of beer etc nice filled rolls good filling

The quantity and quality of both cheese rolls and beer is not that of previous visits. Cheese almost not there and RED onion Beer over pulled. Come on guys let’s get back to standards.

Great beer, cheese rolls, pork pie and scotch eggs. What more do you want in a pub

An old man's pub. Poor barman service, he was more interested in sitting with his friends & a very poor choice of drinks

Nice beer , shame the staff are more interested in there phones. Very nice atmosphere with great seating.

Local locals pub with oodles of atmosphere. Great selection of whiskeys! Free juke box Friday night... but the pizzas are out of this world! Italian origin + original italian pizza maker! 2 Italian mechanics from UCI world champs made comment on the genuine feel! Not a quiet pub but busting with energy!

Food is basically cobs and snacks. Note, they don't serve meals. Ale selection is always excellent, and there's always at least one dark ale/stout/porter, which is my personal preference. Also included are big name favourites, lager, cider etc. Location is nicely tucked away, but it's a easy 5 minute walk from the clock tower. Staff are pleasant, atmosphere is 'old school English pub'. There's sometimes music but it's never overbearing. It's probably my favourite Leicester pub.

Proper Pub good selection of beers and the best cheese and onion cobs ever.

If by food it's cobs n crisps then hell yes. Beer superb.. staff great. Super pub

They have Fireside bitter which is Black Country ale's equivalent of Pedigree.

Good selection of beers and staff always friendly and helpful

The staff are lovely and I'm all ways welcomed with a smile

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. They have great variety of draft beers

Excellent pub in the heart of Leicester, great selection of Beers and probably the creme de la creme of Cheese and Onion cobs, you wont be disapointed

A good quite little pub. polite bar staff. Welcomes behaved dogs.

If you want a good quality real ale and an authentic pub experience, this is the only place to go in the city. Best selection of ales. In changing times, it like going back to 1986, and there is nothing wrong with that

Just stopped in for a pint whilst walking around the town centre, lovely little traditional pub with a good selection of ales and ciders.

Lovely pub, good atmosphere, friendly service.

Excellent small Black Country Ales pub. The usual good, wide range of well kept real ales. Friendly staff. A ten minute walk from city centre. Well worth a visit!

Expensive!!! Small bag of crisps £1.50 &small cheese onion cob £3.oo .Another example of profiteering !

Дуже класний паб і приємне обслуговування

Great proper pub, fine ales, snacks and a very warm welcome. Well done to all

It's near St Margarets Bus station and other bus services.

A proper Time Capsule pub super looked after great real Ale and very relaxing Attmosphere.

Great traditional little boozer. Well kept beer and fantastic cheese and onion cobs.

Good range of beer and friendly bar staff. Solid as ever!

One of, if not the best real ale pub in Leicester. Great atmosphere, good selection. Would recommend

A good old traditional real ale pub with a great atmosphere.

Cracking traditional local pub with an excellent selection of ales. A real gem in Leicester!

Good selection of beers, nice cosy traditional pub with an outdoor area.

Friendly staff. Average beers.

Never been to the salmon but found it to be very friendly good beer and just an good old traditional pub

Comfortable Black country ales pub, tucked away on a back street close to the highcross shopping centre, the beers are a bit hit and miss, throuput does not justify the amount of ales on the bar, and quality suffers as a result, with some beers kept on well past their prime.

Nice little Pub in quiet area of the City Centre.

An unspoilt, comfortable and welcoming pub. Friendly staff and a good range of Black Country real ales. Good, cheap cobs and other snacks. This place deserves to be supported, there are far too few of this type of pub left. It's a real gem, if you're in the area you should do yourself a favour, call in and take a few minutes to unwind and appreciate the quiet.

Lovely visit, nice original english pub, good place to be for a drink 🍻

Always Worth The The Time For A Checking Out ,

A pub where time seems to have stood still.A wonderful original red flag tiled floor,an enclosed garden a place to spend a quiet hour with a pint and a cheese and onion cob.

Excellent beer and hospitable staff. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Proper real ale pub and others Needs to take its signs down advertising the inner city garden until it's been through a overall and good tidy up My company could sort it

Proper old boozer. Beer, cider, cobs and crisps... a man can sustain life on far less. Superb beer selection and lovely little suntrap beer garden.

Great drinkers pub, choice of good beers. Clean tidy, Great staff.

It's an okay pub. A bit out of the way. But now really all that bad. Average.

Beesst pub in Leicester. Great lamidlord, great beer top drawer

Friendly locals, extensive variety of ales, beautiful beer garden and plenty of decent screens to watch the game. By all accounts, The Salmon is what most pubs, anywhere in the U.K, should aspire to be. And I can see how it got there. The pub’s landlord, Alex, is incredibly sharp and witty person, he has a great bit of patter with the patrons and has an in depth knowledge on footy or cricket; in addition to that, it’s clear to see that he (and all the staff) are extremely hardworking people (and they make a mean hot pork bap n’all). We had a grand time. I’ll certainly be back, thank you very much for the warm hospitality and cheers to The Salmon!

Decent pub here. Had a few beers here and enjoyed the garden

Not been here for a few years as moved out of the city. Popped into to watch the Tigers. Had a great selection of stouts, & light beers, that were kept in first class condition. I will always return for a cheeky one when in Leicester.

Always a great range of beers in this historic pub full of decorative fittings from its Banks's days. Sometimes very busy!

A proper pub, well managed with a range of good beers and some original features from when it was built. Worth a visit. Sandwiches/rolls available.

Just 'bumped' into The Salmon whilst waiting for my coach (station is literally around the corner) - this place is the Dogs B - fantastic welcome,beers and regulars. After an hour felt like i knew most people in the pub. Alex is a brilliant host - one of the best pubs i have visited for a long time.

Lovely, chilled vibe. Great selection of beers.

Great landlord lovely staff in a nice spot and open late. Highly recommend

Totally A1+++. Superbly run by Alex and his team. Cracking 12 ale selection. Fair prices. A MUST visit.

Warmest welcome. Great beers to even tempt a lager lout (no idea who that is).

Not a place I wouldn't normally go to pubs like this but it isn't a bad hangout. Decent ale pub, friendly people and the bar staff are friendly. I've been here a few times with my dad.

As a tourist i look to get away from the normal tourist venues. This is a good no gimmicks good drink at fair prices pub- that's not code for basic or rough it's neither of those things. Friendly staff and regulars

Lots of real ales, friendly staff - would definitely return!

Great pub , excellent beers and a warm welcome.

My favourite friendly local pub, first time back for 2 years and a great afternoon spent practising darts and drinking good beer with work mates.

Wonderful place, an unique Real Ale pub in Leicester, which offer the most unique and tasty local beers you can find! Nice and chilled environment, where talking to your mates while enjoying a good beer is still possible...Highly recommended.. PS: I love it!

Very quiet tonight. Only 4 punters. Everyone is scared of Nomicriminivirusy thing

A great tradition black country real ale pub. Quite small with 2 moderate size TVs, it gets very busy on match days. Usually around 10 different ales on tap plus a couple of real ciders. Cold cobs available most days and hot ones on weekends. Small courtyard outside too.

Great real ale pub. Really good selection of ales and very friendly service

Great beer nice fire on a snowy day..proper pub

Lovely atmosphere, a good old fashioned pub with a great selection of ales and cider with fresh cobs behind the bar.

Nice 'local' style of pub in the city centre, although tucked away in a secluded spot. A very good selection of continuously changing beers.

What a oasis in a desert. Fantastic real ales pub. Plenty of ale to go at, a nice friendly atmosphere. My must visit place in Leicester.

Great array of beers in a great cosy pub

Old fashioned pub with a great selection of well kept beers. Friendly staff. Well worth a visit

Nice beer selection, had very great time there when I was living in Leicester

Friendly real ale bar, very cosy with a good choice of ales, easy walking distance of the city centre.

A gem, a rarity, a proper town pub which has escaped the 'one size fits all' interior designers of the greedy pub companies. This proper ale house operates as a free house and is committed to keeping it as it should be with all emphasis on the ales, of which there were 12 when I visited. The beer I sampled was great, and the perfect compliment to the cheese and onion cob I purchased with it. A fantastic old pub, I shall be back, well done to all the staff, you were great also.

Great authentic pub. V good choice of ales. Top notch

Great for ale, Alex is a friendly & accommodating landlord. One of the best traditional boozers in Leicester.

Good old pub good choice of beer's

Only nipped in for a quick pint , seems very pleasant

Always a nice friendly atmosphere in this pub, friendly staff too, with a fantastic choice of real ales and ciders, I love it.
