The Golden Lion, Whitby

A small, two roomed pub with both rooms served from the same bar with a divider halfway along. Seems to be pretty much an Irish pub these days, with regular live music advertised. Only Taylors Boltmaker on the handpumps, so I just had a quick half and it was in decent nick. I also had a chat to the friendly barman. Only three old boys in the pub, but when a fourth arrived he was carrying fish & chips for all of them. I had to leave then as they were making me feel peckish. It's OK, but I'd probably not bother again. There's loads of better pubs in Whitby than this one.

Neat old pub with some great original features with two small noisy bars. The tap room has three pumps serving Marstons and Tetleys in average condition.

Interesting looking pub tucked up a side street. When I visited there were no beers at all so I made do with lager. There seemed to be a few Wham! tracks playing while I was in - Wake Me up Before You Go Go ……. so I went!
