| The Lion is a local source of ridicule for being trapped in the past. Like drinking in an old man's living room. Terrible service, I was largely ignored for not having been drinking there for the last 50 odd years. I saw three young women walking out of there one night, I had to do a double-take. I think they were just in to use the toilets, right enough. Archwaster - 2 May 2007 12:19 |
| Great pub for a real Irish night - this is what you might expect from Holloway/Archway and the feeling of a community survives here. Come here to join the singing on Sunday night. anonymous - 24 Mar 2007 17:44 |
| Enjoyed it in here-was a bit of a throwback to the 80's when I used to drink round here...The St Johns gone gastro & the Archways gone euro-but the Lion roars on!..Good atmosphere on sunday night,with the 1 man band mixing it up with the usual Irish tunes & some rebel songs(?).....Good boozy, mixed age atmosphere-the kind of Irish pub you're looking for on a very damp night!.

| Agree about the old archway crowd drinking in there. Nicely decorated pub, however the manageress likes to serve her regulars first and leave strangers waiting ages for a drink!!! Not a good way to run a pub anonymous - 22 Sep 2005 16:46 |
| Was in here on a Sunday night - it's a decent pub for a drink and a bit of craic with Irish friends. Plenty of sound people about, always good fun to laugh at the Irish country music, reasonably priced drink, oh and the Archway crowd of the 1990's seem to have upped sticks and moved in here. Good service as well. keep_it_green - 18 Apr 2005 16:43 |
