Quick info
About Black Lion
Black Lion is a traditional pub in the old town of Bridlington, set at 93 High St on the high street. The interior is old-fashioned, in line with the pub's character. A stage and a function room add space for events, so the pub can host groups and gatherings as well as customers who simply drop in for a drink. Dogs are welcome, which suits anyone who wants to bring a pet along.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers mostly come for the beer, calling it lovely, fantastic and well-priced, and one stopped in for a single drink and stayed for three. Fresh food with big portions is also praised, and staff are repeatedly called friendly. One reviewer likes the old-world interior but laments that the stage and function room sit unused. Another found it dead on a midweek evening and plans to return when livelier.

“Traditional old town pub on high street, well worth calling in (& visiting old town pubs generally) featured a bit in the Dad's Army movie, oldy-Worldly interior, crying shame the great stage & function room doesn't get used anymore, would be ideal for bands & parties, desperately in need of a local promoter to sort it out..🤔”

“Interesting little pub. Staff were friendly. Unfortunately it was absolutely dead when we were there. Midweek on an evening is apparently not a great time in old town brid. But the beers were lovely. Will definitely come back again when it is a bit more lively!”
