The Golden Lion is a traditional pub in the heart of York's historic city. Only a minute walk from York Minster, we are in a perfect location to sign see around the beautiful city.
We’re proud to say our menu is packed with Great British pub food classics, including iconic dishes like our hand-battered fish and chips, pie and mash and succulent burgers.
Our drinks include a great range of real ales and an extensive wine list. Our cask ales range has some of the best in British beers, including the new 1730, our very own special pale ale. The team at the Golden Lion look forward to welcoming you soon at this fantastic traditional London pub in York.
went with a group of six girls and the staff were rude and hostile towards us. We felt judged and discriminated for being younger (19/20years), we were quiet and kept ourselves to ourselves but felt like we were doing something wrong for being in the pub, eyes rolled at many times by multiple female members of staff. We asked politely for some straws and they rudely pointed over to the bar with continuous rolling of eyes and no smile. do not recommend if you want to feel welcomed.
Popped in for a sit-down lunch whilst visiting York. The pub was quiet just before 12. The classic selection of beers from Greene King in excellent form but the food style the show for us. Great quality all round but a special mention to the Katsu Burger - absolutely cooked to perfection, wonderful balance of flavours. Great service from Louise who took great care. Set us up nicely for the second half of our day and a really memorable stop.
We love love this pub, whenever we visit York, we visit The Golden Lion, great range of drinks and food and a very friendly atmosphere, try here for a relaxing drinks, food or watch live sports on multiple tv's, you won't be disappointed...
We had only drinks there, so can't make any comment on the food, but the service, drinks and atmosphere were nice in this pub! We went upstairs, there's a nice place to sit if it's not raining. The order has to be done at the bar directly and you take your drinks yourself. Only food would be brought by waiters.
It's a traditional pub. The food is very good, there are various beers. You place the order from the beginning and pay for it. They bring it when the food is ready. The atmosphere is nice, the toilets are clean. It is a place preferred by the local people. There is very little noise, but it is not negative.
