Golden Lion in Boston

Ah, the Golden Lion – it's one of those pubs that just draws you in with its warm, welcoming feel, isn't it? From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this brilliant atmosphere that's full of energy, whether you're popping in for a quiet drink or joining a lively crowd on a Saturday. Folks have mentioned how it's survived and thrived as a local spot, which is always heartening to see, and the prices are fair enough that you can enjoy a few rounds without worrying about the wallet. The staff really shine too; they're spot on at making everyone feel at home, even if you're with a big group of eight or more. On the downside, it's a bit of a shame there's no proper website to get the lowdown on events or menus – you'd think they'd have that sorted for a place this popular. And the opening times look a tad messy from what's listed, so it might pay to give them a ring first to avoid any surprises. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a good night out in Boston, with more ups than downs, but it's always worth going in with realistic expectations.
