The White Lion in Bristol, City of

Do not waste your money on the juke box. The management refuse to put up the volume so basically uou cannot hear the music you have paid for. Barely hear as background music- poor show

Very welcoming and great service considering the reception next door. Would definitely recommend 👌🏻

Love this place as its so chilled with awesome drinks available.

Quality, what a gem. Amazing staff, beer, service and crowd. Her is a picture from New Year

Stairs not for the faint hearted but a nice drink and friendly staff

Not a bad pub. Plenty of beers. Great alcohol free range.

Very nice pub. We only tried the drinks and had a great visit. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great stop.

Great day time and young bar man great

I often come here as my mate lives across the road, today the barmen had such an attitude im not sure i'll be back. We sat inside and saw him respond to each customer as though he didn't want them to be there...

Went there for a Saturday afternoon get-together with my family, great weather and sitting outside. Drinks are a bit expensive as well as the food. However, on the whole the food was an acceptable standard considering it’s a chain pub. However, do not have the pie as it was loads of pastry and gravy inside the pie, but no real meat just quite a bit of gristle (at least 4-5 pieces) etc.

A must try if you are in the area. A fantastic pub. The manager Martin is excellent.

Quaint little pub, cool to sit and watch the boarders skate. Larger pipes need cleaning more frequently though, probably won't be back for a while due to the taste of the Heineken.

Great little pub not far from our hotel. Great service!

Good well kept local beer - great little pub

Nice little pub. Well stocked with real ales

Fab little pub - and I mean little - but really nice. Gents down a tiny spiral staircase, you couldn't get down it if you were well-built, but still worth a visit.

Really poor service and atmosphere. Staff unfriendly and not very accommodating. One pint and left.

Came here for a pint and a nice view. The view is amazing and the terrace is huge and beautiful but the service isn’t great. I couldn’t get the app because my phone took long to load it but that’s not an issue, I went to the bar, I was more than happy to wait and get a drink from inside. I stood there in the line waiting patiently and slowly moving towards the area where I can order because there were loads of people waiting and only one bar tender serving. I stood for about 15 min and realised the line behind me getting bigger and bigger and the bar tender only severed 2 people in those 15 min🙁 the bartender looked very unhappy and seemed like he didn’t want to be there. Then some other worker approached him and asked ‘oh you here all alone at the bar?’ And started making a drink which I realised was for her and she stood there talking to some bartender and mixing her drink🤦🏼‍♀️ I got fed up and left the pub. No pricing listed on the drinks and no drinks menu at the bar, no idea how people order without the app

Great spot if weather is nice to sit outside as it is tiny inside. Barman was lovely, friendly and chatty and prices were average. Lovely spot to watch the world go by.

Mad stairs to the toilet... apparently, only 1 pint for stag parties.

Amazing little pub, cosy, great service, great pints and amazing pasties / sausage rolls.

I used to love going to the white lion, either for lunch or on an evening, it was our main "place to go", that is until the menu changed. We don't like halloumi or plant based meats, all our favourite dishes have gone - and so have we.

Bristol's smallest pub, worth going to for that experience alone, but Wickwar beer also makes a difference. You may need to be a contortionist to tackle the descent to the gents, in the basement, via a narrow spiral (historic) staircase.

Good beer, good sunsets. Sit outside and watch the antics of the skateboarders.

Tiny pub so don't Tey going with a big group. Fine for 4 of us catching up

Nice quaint city pub. They have some decent beers on tap, bar staff are friendly and welcoming. They have some board games to make the time there more enjoyable and outdoor seating. Definitely worth a visit.

Went in for a quick drink, friendly welcome & good Beer.

Smallest pub in Bristol apparently, but also very friendly, good little watering hole.

Pretty cozy little pub. Plenty of ales on tap.

Great little put in a good location. NSM digital jukebox with a good selection of tunes. There's not much space on a busy evening. Ladies are best advised to use the lavatory before visiting or don't get drunk. The stairs to the latrine are very steep.

A fantastic little pub with pig racing on Sundays. Well worth a visit.

Called in for a pint and was good.

Had a weekend in Bristol popped in for a quick short in what must be the smallest pub in Bristol nice friendly staff worth a visit

Cozy and a bit eccentric inside but really nice! Drinks are decently priced too

Nice atmosphere friendly staff very good coffee

Lovely little pub staff were friendly and I loved the pump xx

First time in Bristol most expensive drink I've ever had pint of coke £4.20 absolutely crazy and it tastes rank cheap smart price asda muck

Interesting pub , will be back again, lol!

We love this place. It's a proper town boozer, tiny, good beer. No frills. You often get chatting to other people because it's so small.

Miserable barman.. obviously did not want to be there.. .more interested in his book. Pub advertisers food, only food, a packet crisps and expensive beer... not what I expect from a city centre pub.. Will not be returning

Good beer, great atmosphere and friendly staff 👍

Good beer and helpful staff. Ignore it being temporary closed, I am enjoying a pint of Bob right now. Update: has it changed? No, still great staff and great beer. Update 2: has it changed no, but I forgot to mention the great sausage rolls.

Not sure about food,we only stopped there for a few drink. Staff spot on. Beer was really nice ,pint of "BOB" Will go back there next time we are in Bristol.

Lovely pub. Interesting history and locals.

Lived in Bristol all my life and never been in. So glad we did . Bar manager was great, so friendly. Only went in for a pint to cool down in the hot weather, ended up staying for hours. Fantastic pub.

Small pub in the centre of Bristol. A quiet place but good ale and the male toilets are a must not miss

Great little pub in a good location, slightly challenging stairs but worth a visit nonetheless.

Terrible service. The beer was off and the white wine was warm. The barman asked me if I wanted an ice cube. Could be good but let down by poor unprofessional service.

Really great pub. Friendly staff. Good boozer

The site and view are beautiful, the food is one of the worst i ever had, for a so expensive price ... If you have to come there, just enjoy a drink and the landscape but please, avoid ordering food. Oh, and on the top of that, we found a fried fly in the burger... Yummy 🤢

Old world pub, reasonable prices, lower than town. Ok for wheel chair users.

Awesome pub definitely recommend

Nice pub to sit out in the sun after an intensive lurning experience 😀

One of the best (and smallest!) pubs in Bristol. Always try to make a point of going here when visiting. 10/10

Good afternoon beers ,nice choice friendly staff

Smallest pub in the city! Just take care on the steps to the toilets, they are very steep!

Great city centre pub always going to be a bit expensive

Glad The White Lion is doing so well to turn us away on the pretense they dont serve "a group of 10". It was a fine night and there were 3 empty tables outside so we wousnt have filled their 'small pun". As we were all over 50s we were hardly going to smash the place up

Friendly staff and a lovely little pub. Made my Birthday a good one 👌👌 Will be back again soon.

Staff were fantastic in this pub!! Very friendly and had a good chat. Will 100% be back. Made my Birthday a great one. 👌👌

Compact bar in the centre. Comfortable atmosphere and good selection of drinks. Very friendly staff. 😎 Recommended.

First visit for many years,but still maintains it's old character,and with a good selection of ales,cider and spirits.A quaint spiral metal staircase leads down to the gents toilet,and it's upstairs to the ladies.Welll worth a visit.

Proper boozer, worth a visit for the stairs to the men's alone!

Such a lovely, local pub! Nice people, friendly staff and a great variety of ale and beer! A great place to go in Bristol if you want a chilled out atmosphere and good ale!

Nice bar staff and clientele. Selection of real ale beers not wonderful, only weak stuff. Still worth a visit.

The landlord is very friendly...

The Heineken was off. Really unpleasant

Little micro pub, nice little stop in center of town

Friendly pub, reasonably priced drinks. Watch out for the spiral staircase down to the gents !

Expensive but a nice little pub

The White Lion remains a proudly traditional pub which means more 'spit 'n sawdust' and less chain fake pub. That brings it a charm of its own. Good selection of real ales and whilst not themost spacious of public houses, this does mean that every visit is quite 'intimate'. If you are not feeling intimact, then seating spills out onto the pavement area should that be preferred. A dying breed these days so support and enjoy whilst you still can.

A nice boozer in the centre of town

Cracking wee pub, great atmosphere when ever I've visited, always top notch tunes on the jukebox and excellent ales.

Cosy little pub, good beers, good prices, friendly bar staff who are always up for a chat.

Tiniest, wee-est pub I've ever frequented 🤣.... Toilets are downstairs, you'll need to navigate a winding staircase that is tight....if yer my size....am no called Slim coz am a supermodel 🤣....but I managed to widdle and get back to ground level👊🏻

Patrick was friendly and helpful....gotta be the most dangers walk to a pub toilet I've ever encountered...done it tho👊🏻...still here

Lovely place. Had a nice time here with friends

A small cosy pub. They got the pints that you'll be okay with. Never had a problem here

I know of few pubs with so much character, and being in the centre you never know what to expect. The locals are friendly, the staff are fantastic, and it’s reasonably priced for central Bristol. The perfect place for a quick drink while passing through town!

Nice traditional boozer, stairs to gents loos a bit challenging (tight spiral)

Good beer, good people, staff and landlords.

A little gem of a pub on the city centre.

Great pub, definitely worth a visit

Nice little pub opposite the cenotaph, with plenty of entertainment watching the skateboarders if you're sitting outside. Clean and tidy, friendly staff.

This is a very small pub but it was a lovely evening so we sat outside, beer good!

Vinegary ales and moody bar men... Nice spot though.

Bar man was very abrupt but seating outside had some colorful characters great for people watching

Great company and a proper pub. Always enjoy the pub and always feel welcome 🙂

Nice friendly pub near the harbour

Muy buenas vista del suspensión Bridge

One of my favourite pubs in Bristol, Martin always makes us feel welcome

Loved this little cute character pub. Will be back xx

Good location but limited drinks. Male toilet is a nightmare to get to .old cast iron spiral staircase.

great pub right on centre. outdoor seating sunny afternoon what more could you want.

Cosy place with good ale and crazy spiral stairs to the gents

A nice pub, but on this visit the beer wasn't that great and very limited spirits on offer.

Hoped to carry on the tradition of toasting the bands at the annual cenotaph gathering with a hot toddy on November 14th but unfortunately the place was shut. Probably a change of hands/management put paid to an annual event that was looked forward to for a huge number of respectful folk paying their respects. Your loss.

Friendly staff, a nice range of hand pulled ales and an excellent view of the War memorial square with its vibrant atmosphere

Cute pub with lovely staff. Great spot to watch the skaters.

Lovely experience as always. Great service 👏
