Came in for a quick half after after work and ended up taking part in the general knowledge quiz on Wednesday. It was a lot of fun but we found it a bit tough. Next time we're coming in force... we know a guy with glasses and a beard!!!
Basfords best kept secret. Keep up the good work. -review by Jane Stewarts
The Lion is an exceptional place. Someone once said that in most walks of life you don't get a second chance to make a first impression. Someone else noted that you have just twenty seconds to 'clinch the deal' to a new customer. Being somewhat more patient than all that stuff, my wife and I made our minds up about the Lion at Basford in let's say, forty seconds? That's probably how long it took before we both said in two-part harmony "this is my sort of pub". And it is. So, which of the 'boxes' got ticked so quickly? Somewhere to park for a start for the non-drinking driver. Then, immediately you see and feel what a pub should look and feel like, a pub! A real pub! A pub where the customers actually smile or give a welcoming nod as you assess the bar offerings. Real ale lovers we are, and, spoilt for choice we rejoiced studying the pump taps and blackboards. So, congratulations Lion at Basford! Another piece of Nottingham has held true. And you have two new customers.
As usual the bar staff were second to none. Now how good is The Lion. WELL DONE ALL -review by Stuart Stevenson

Friday 3rd October,Despite the Goose Fair being on El Gecko once again with there own inimitable style of Folk Rock and Roll brought in the customers and gave a solid night of great music. This band never fails to deliver a wide variety of musical entertainment.
