Reviews of Golden Lion

D. S.

I love traditional pubs but sadly Watford centre is lacking, so sought this place out. Very attractive exterior, a modern single room interior, with a lovely outdoor space. Great selection of drinks but only one of the three real ales (Bombardier) was available at the time of my visit (mid-Saturday afternoon). Also a little too much bad language for my liking, not helped by the landlord’s contribution! A friendly welcome from the landlady and a pleasant enough experience, but could be better.

What a great pub this is . Walked in and felt as if we had been regulars for years. Fantastic atmosphere with the band on. Big thanks to the guys in the corner who became our 'official' photographers for the night, to the showman and the ex army chap they were so engaging and friendly and especially to the 'Gaffer' and his staff. All top people. Made the day so memorable for the right reasons.

Good food and a very friendly host! We tried the bbq pollo and loved it! Fair price as well.

Small pub with beer garden at rear. Limited beers on tap. Friendly bar staff.

F. M.

We were greeted by a very nice lady as soon as we arrived (at lunch time). I asked for a table and was showed one immediately. Took orders for drinks super quickly. After the rushed initial contact we realised no one was eating and there were no menus anywhere. After receiving our drinks we were informed that they are not serving food (however they allow you to order take away and eat there). I would have appreciated if the lady had told us from the beginning as I was quite hungry and had to drown my pint quickly so I could go eat somewhere else. So cannot really say it was a positive visit and quite frankly felt a bit tricked to order.

Lovely pub always a great atmosphere

L. D.

Lovely venue, clean, nice decor, welcoming, plenty of TV's for SKY events, pleasant bar staff, hygenic toilets, great garden seating area, lighting, heaters & well kept, tiny car park so used Sutton instead 3h £3 enjoyable evening

R. I. C.

Nice serving. I went there with my boyfriend and we ordered 2 beers, one which was Canadian and one from Belgium. One guy offered us 2 other half beers, for free, crafted here, in England. People were nice and friendly. The price was ok. We payed around 7 or 8 pounds. I liked it a lot

M. C.

Fabulous little hidden gem of a pub. Amazingly warm welcome to everyone. Highly recommend of you want a quiet drink with friends. LGBT friendly for those concerned, as long as you're reasonable with them they'll welcome you with open arms!

D.

Great for a pre-match drink, great bar staff who just seem to know who has been waiting longest even with a line of people. Outside garden great in summer.

Booked up a garden table (as the covid rules were easing had table service). for dad's 1st Anniversary. Lovely hidden gem with gazebo, friendly mixture of people.

L. B.

Another great find in Watford. Very friendly staff, comfortable surroundings, nice little outside seating area, surrounded by the offices of Clarendon road. A real sun trap in the summer. Looking forward to their Karaoke night. They have lots of regular monthly events. Give it a try. I did, and have been back many times.

Friendly, welcoming and great atmosphere. If your in Watford make sure you get a pint.

Nice place for a drink food served but slightly limited menu and not served every day so not a place for a drop on to eat. Beer garden at the back and no loud music when I was there. Does serve some real ales which is good for me.

m. c.

Good place to sit in the sun till 6pm Beer range a bit restricted but large selection of lagers, ciders and spirits. Prices okay.
