About This Pub

Ah, The Lion Bar & Club – it's one of those places in Walsall that really stands out for its community spirit and good times. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this fantastic mix of events that bring people together, like those charity nights for causes such as the British Heart Foundation and thrilling scare mazes that sound like a proper laugh. The overall rating of 4.3 is a solid thumbs-up, with most folks raving about the friendly staff and the welcoming atmosphere, especially if you're after a spot that's inclusive and fun. It's newly done up too, so you get that fresh, inviting feel once you're inside, even if it looks unassuming from the street. On the flip side, there was that one recent grumble about staff being a bit strict – you know, stepping in over something like music volume, which could put a dampener on an otherwise great night. And with the place currently closed and hours that vary, it might not always be easy to pop in. All in all, if you're up for a pint and some excitement, it's worth checking out, but maybe keep an eye on their status first to avoid any letdowns. It's got that charm that makes you want to chat about it over a drink with mates.

Was having a great night at this venue, I think they did an amazing job at having a charity night for (BHS) British heart foundation, I’m all for that, however I was un impressed by the staff who threatened to remove us from the venue for turning the outside music up a little, as this boosted the atmosphere and ultimately our group was purchasing more drinks, I was then confronted by the licensee. this really put a downer on the night in my opinion, as he stated that they can’t have loud music on outside as the local neighbours witch is understandable, but I wouldn’t have music on at all if it caused an Issue, personally won’t be attending again spent a lot of money at the venue just to be treated like crap really. Very poor and venue had next to no customers in on a Friday night. Wouldn’t recommend as staff are very poorly trained but of embarrassment to the company.

Came to the Christmas scare maze tonight and had a great time. The maze was original and scary. Loved the add on of the scare box and the electric chair.

We came here for the Scare Maze, which was awesome. I've been to quite a few live actor scare experiences and this was the best. But the bar in general is lovely and very welcoming, as most gay bars are. Brilliant staff.

The friendliest bar outside of Birmingham. Newly refurbished in keeping with their high standards. From the outside it looks very discreet but wait til you get in, you'll soon fall in love with the place :).
