The best pub in town.. Excellent choice of beers. All kept to a high standard and served by some great bar staff..John and Mandy are perfect hosts... Clientele is eclectic and all get on...Music is mostly second to none with playlists you will never hear in any other pub. Bands are mostly great and occasionally gets a real coup with some outstanding acts...And for those of an architectural bent...A great building dating back to the 1700's. When I die I'm gonna be stuffed and prop up the bar for eternity.
Well what a delightful pub. I was pleasantly surprised with the inside. Good atmosphere great bar staff and good beer.
What a place! Traditional pub? Yes. Traditional craft and real ale? Yes. Knowledgeable and friendly staff? Yes.
Kick ass live music? Damn right as Black Sails play The Lion!
Great pub,atmosphere,entertainment,beer and company. Sadly, it's let down badly by people using the fire door to get to the "beer garden" and leaving the ######g door open in all weathers. Selfish b######s!
Great pub, staff, landlord/lady (there are two of them, its not a cross-dressing thing), and beer - loads of really good music on here, regularly, too :)
This is a great place to be for music there are some of the best bands play here the staff are friendly and the prices for drinks aren't too high great atmosphere can't fault it!
If it's a choice between spending my last hours on the earth in the warm embrace of my loving family or sitting in the snug chatting shit and drinking high end beverages, The White Lion wins hands down. Please tell my family I love them.
I moved to Sheffield about 1974; The White Lion instantly became one of my favourite pubs for the friendly staff and customers (local and visitors, young and old), the well-kept selection of drinks. These days I don't drink, any chance of a pot of tea in the evenings? I also enjoy the varied music scene, not least having played there myself I find the audience uplifting and receptive. Architecturally it is one of Sheffield's gems, inside and out. It is always kept clean including the gents and is a model for other establishments.
The band Resurrection were great and I love the barmaids taste in music Type O Negative.
Full of interesting characters and a really individual pub with great beers.
Heeley is a really interesting place to drink.
Excellent range of beers, really impressive traditional style pub that you rarely see nowadays. A great team behind the bar. A must visit.
Amazing, proper authentic boozer. Friendly staff, wonderful land lady and land lord, always different live music on, cute little snugs. Good whisky, great range of real ale. Go!
