The White Lion in Sheffield - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fantastic old pub featured in Camra’s heritage pubs book. Beer selection on the smaller side but a great space.

Well it's been going over 240 years so it must be doing summat reit!

SWITCH Live band was amazing! Definitely recommend going - especially when they are playing!

Great, actually got something I like to drink. Live music was very good. May make this a regular outing.

Nice atmosphere and great live music

Played here with my band last weekend. Brilliant pub. Super friendly management, staff and regulars. Lovely vibe. Already looking forward to going back.

Top boozer with an oldly worldly feel lots of rooms just like they used to be good ales and live music.

Great pub, live music was fantastic and the staff were all excellent. Brilliant local, well worth a visit.

Nice drinks, oldest pub in sheffield

One of the best traditional pubs in Sheffield. It's like a time capsule. Please don't ever renovate it.

Traditional pub with great live music scene. Recently had some renovations but has retained the traditional style. Love it.

Worth visiting. Really good place to unwind. Historical place. Well looked after. Enjoyed drinks 🍻

First visit since refurbishment. A friendly venue , good atmosphere and a brilliant live band this evening .

Great beer in a lovely atmosphere.

One of my top 10 favourite pubs in Sheffield.

Rejuvenated pub, historic and well worth a visit, been coming here 28 years and it's better now than it ever has been

Great real ale pub with love music

Great atmosphere, dog friendly, child friendly, very welcoming landlord and landlady. Live music on Sunday afternoon

Loads of rooms, very flexible pub, nice staff and generally nice clientele. Beer range could do with a little widening but they know their business. Ales well kept.

Great pub, great tunes, cheap ale

Traditional pub. Great beers, great music

When for Funeral of a friend to Celebrate is life and had a really top time Reminiscing on good times we had with him r.i.p 😊

Great quirky old school pub with really good beer.

Great old fashioned put with gorgeous beer at an unbelievable low price

Fantastic pub, the staff are friendly and efficient and the pub quiz is second to none they also have a fantastic offering of snacks! Prices are also very good for as popular as it is!

Went in on Christmas Eve for a quiet drink. The landlord was very stressed sat in the corner wrapping presents. He made me hold his paper whilst he wrapped it and chastised me when I didn’t do it correctly He said he had to be there as he could only employ a child behind the bar since Brexit. The child was well mannered but didn’t understand the cash I tried to pay with. I bought him some crisps and he was on the ball with no noticeable tantrums. People came in from all over, even Ireland, with their own special character. Sat enjoying a nice pint in the best pub ever. Long live the Lion.

Good beer. Good selection of ales kept well

Beautiful old pub. Incredible Victorian architecture. Good ales. One of the best pubs in south Sheffield.

Lovely traditional pub, even lovelier landlord.

Excellent pug with great choice of ale.

One small step up tobaccess the pub, some areas accessible by wheelchair. No wheelchair access to a toilet or the garden.

An amazing venue and fantastic live music every weekend. Pubs like this are few and far between.

An amazing pub, great ambience and great beer!

Traditional and cosy boozer with side rooms and a good Guinness

Good atmosphere good band on while we were there

Play regularly at the Jazz jam here (first Monday of each month). You could not get a less unpretentious pub! Love this place.

Decent pub, polite staff and friendly atmosphere

Best pub in the area. The band, Open Jaw Fayre, were fantastic.

This place is a proper "old school" pub with some some very nice ales 🧐👍👀😎

Good live bands on , Good beers .

The band I roadie for called Black Sails played a gig here last night, the venue is great for bands to perform at and many locals came to the show, the drinks were nice and the staff were friendly

Fabulous evening with Leroy Smith (Led Zeppelina / Local Heroes) James and Joe Tulley (Thor, The Desperadoes) Jules Widdop (The Carnival) And, of course, Billy Boy himself! Billy Boy Smith and The Rollin' 60s.

Love music on a Friday is always good fun great Sheffield boozer

A brilliant pub with live music, friendly staff and excellent beer

Allways good it's like the tardis looks small then you walk in and it's a big place with some quiet alcoves as well. 🙄

Nice pint in my old local from years ago.

Extremely good warm and friendly

Excellent music venue especially the open mic night which takes place on Thursdays.

What a cracking local pub! Great selection of beer and craft ale on rotation, always a warm welcome and fantastic atmosphere. The Whitelion always has live music on over the weekend and mid week jam nights. If you want to hide away in a corner to chat to a friend or sit in the front parlour and get to know the locals, this place has everything to offer. As Arnie said "I'll be back"

Decided to try the real ale. Staff were rude and too busy with their phones to serve. It was dirty and toilets smell and the "real ale" was awful i had to take the first pint back as it was off - much to the disgust of the bar staff and ended up levu=ing the replacement as it was just as bad. - DON'T GO

Great, proper pub with live music

Brilliant, never seen so many different snugs. Loads of beers on and great rock music playing. I will definitely be back and bringing my friends.

Nice atmosphere live music some nights good drink.

Great beers, and friendly staff, and live music 👍

Met some friends before a Match at the Lane. Old fashioned pub with a fair amount of space. Looks like a good local pub. Bet it has plenty of characters as regulars.

Nice quiet pub I went In with friends, I really love the pub, great inside and great outdoor garden, really like it will be visiting again

Had a great night good hand pulled ales and have good bands on great atmosphere

Nice little music pub.i love Sunday afternoon jam hosted by carnival beer is good and nice people to meet and get to know

Nice pub, friendly staff good beer and plenty of space inside

Great vibe. Friendly staff. Good music

Really relaxed vibe and lovely staff.

The White Lion has been around as a historical and loved pub for centuries. Luckily the owners preserve its natural charm, and you can explore the brilliant layout of discreet tap rooms, side rooms and plotting parlours that are all still intact. It's reminiscent of being on an old train with dappled glass and small cosy spaces. There is a larger open area at the back as well, which often has live music on after about 8.30pm. There are two bars, several serving areas and a darts board, just in case you fancy throwing sharp objects around for fun. What more is there to love? Oh and it's super non judgemental, open to all, young, older, dressed up, dressed down and super safe for women too. Can fully recommend this authentic pub. Don't come here if you want expensive cocktails however and leather seats as you will be confused and disappointed. Plus a Labrador may lay on your Jimmy Choos.

Great friendly pub! Great selection of beer!

Hubby had a pint of real ale as they keep it so well here lso a nice sandwich, I had a good cup of coffee. Recommend it

Absolutely fabulous pub Great selection of real and and excellent live music venue. Pubs like this must not be allowed to die

Nice place can get a bit loud when live music 🎶 is on

Traditional pub in its finest form.

Probably my favourite pub in Sheffield. Great beer selection at good prices, quirky inside. Pub quiz on a Wed is great fun at only 50p per team.

One of Sheffields oldest pubs dating from the 1700s.A great venue for live music and excellent beer. Well worth a visit just for the interior.

Good beer, friendly bar staff, nice atmosphere

Just been to the open mic night. Had a blast! Very good night - bar staff are awesome as are the musicians. If you fancy a be go, you can release your inner showstar!

Lovely pub..Great people. Great beer.

Proper pub, and just perfect lovely company - you friends may not be as great . . . But perfect place to find more if you need to 🤣

Cosy and friendly pub, decent selection of cask ales and regular live music

The White Lion has been a gravitational place to feel comfortable and at home in since 2003. A friendly atmosphere, amazing original tiles and decor as well as beer kept to the peak or perfection. You can keep your hipster over thought out bar, this is Sheffield through and through and a heart of pure punk.

Definitely be using this venue for future SUFC games 🤗🤗👍👍⚔⚔⚔

Must-visit traditional Sheffield boozer with good ales and in a historic building. Regular bands in at weekends in non-covid times.

This is simply the best pub in sheffield, Thursday nights are the best. Friendly atmosphere, superb choice of beer, live music.

Was a really nice pub enjoyed the beer garden

Traditional pub for conversation and beer drinking

They sell beer, whiskey and wine, but no Irish coffee 😕

Good to go to my old stomping ground. Live music on. Brilliant. Loads of beers on offer, which is good and bad. Quality perhaps not great. Service good. Toilet hand dryer is worse than useless. Take something to dry hands. We will go back.

Brilliant table service, staff on the ball with everything. Great music night!

Lovely old boozer with its little rooms still in tact with a great range of beers !

Probably my favourite pub on Chesterfield Road.

Borrowed a book of the Landlord. Haven't read it. He won't let me forget it. However the pub is gorgeous and there's a nice beer selection. Grest for meetings as there's some lovely litle nooks to hide in. Always a pleasure.

Many happy times at this pub with friends and family and my favourite daughter Mandy and Jon, great hosts

Good selection of beers and friendly staff and a good atmosphere spot on

Enjoy the live music they offer. Nice crowd of customers get in.

Friendly pub, good quiz, affordable beers and snacks.

Great traditional pub with a good selection of guest beers. Really welcoming and a good place to meet up
