The Lion At Basford

The Lion is a popular real ale pub located in the New Basford suburb, easily accessible by tram. It boasts a spacious and welcoming environment with a pleasant seating area.

With 11 real ales available and the usual selection of kegs, this is the perfect spot to enjoy time with friends or family. The live music on Friday and Saturday nights is fantastic, making it an even more enjoyable experience.

The food was excellent, and the service was very friendly. The pub had a great atmosphere, complete with some unexpected live folk music. The burgers were fantastic, offering a wonderful selection. The ale was also outstanding.

Great beer, fantastic atmosphere, and a wonderful staff make this place a winner. It's very dog-friendly and boasts a large beer garden. The food is quite decent, but I think the menu could use a refresh, especially when it comes to the vegetarian and vegan options. While it's enjoyable, I've been having the same dishes for three or four years now.

This is a fantastic pub with well-maintained cask ales sourced from the local area. The food is consistently excellent, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. There’s also a wonderful outdoor seating area that’s perfect for both winter and summer.
