The Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester

The Two-Tailed Lion was an unexpectedly small place with annoyingly low banquette seats relative to the adjacent tables. There were 3 handpumps on the bar, though I felt that the emphasis was more on the craft keg and my pint of Buxton Hazy Pale could have done with a bit more condition to it. This one makes an interesting contrast with The Blue Boar a few doors down the street, though I think I'd probably spend more time in the latter if I lived locally.

Looks like an attractive side-street pub from outside, but turns out to be a narrow bar and bottle shop with modern furniture and decor in several small seating areas. More seating may also be available upstairs, but I didn't investigate that. Three cask ales on handpump - Best Bitter and Quarantine pale ale (£4.20) from Eyam plus Clique Fiesta milk stout from Wilde Child. Also has a row of six craft keg taps on the bar-back.
