Lion Hotel, 29 Wensley Rd, Blackburn BB2 1PX

About This Pub

Ah, The Lion Hotel in Blackburn – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local hideaway, you know? From the reviews I've had a look at, folks absolutely love the welcoming vibe, with the landlady and regulars making everyone feel at ease straight away. It's spot on for a quiet evening or having a laugh over darts and a pint of draught beer, and being so affordable, it's easy to see why it's a go-to for a no-nonsense night out. On the downside, the opening times can be a bit hit and miss, and with not many reviews floating about, it might not have that lively crowd you're after on a busier evening. Still, if you're in the area and fancy a straightforward, friendly spot to unwind, I'd reckon it's worth checking out – just keep an eye on those hours first!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff and locals are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • It's got that classic, old-school pub vibe with games like darts, pool, dominoes, and cards – perfect for a bit of traditional fun.
  • Ideal for a quiet drink or a relaxed evening, with a great atmosphere that's all about enjoying a cold pint without any fuss.
  • Being inexpensive, it's brilliant value for money, so you can pop in for a bevvy without worrying about the cost.
Cons
  • The opening hours seem a bit inconsistent and limited, which might mean you have to plan ahead or risk finding it closed early.
  • With only a handful of reviews out there, it doesn't feel like the most popular spot, so it might be quiet or not as buzzing as some other pubs.
  • Their online presence is a bit lacking, with a website that's not working properly, making it tricky to get more details before you visit.

Why not go to The Lion. Good old fashioned pub, play darts, pool, dominoes, or cards with a cold beer on draught 🍺
