Quinno _ left this review about The Two-Tailed Lion

Couple of recent visits. Much as I found before in 2019 - it's quite quirky if a bit lacking in atmosphere. There’s a neat room upstairs as well. Three ales, and an oddball set in TT Landlord, BBF Milk Stout and Two Tailed Lion NE IPA (NBSS 3). Six keg and two ciders in addition, as well a few cans n’ bottles. There's jumbo samosas for £3.50 - very Leicester. The local CAMRAs keep Guiding it and it’s a couple of yards from the Blue Boar.

August 2019
Another fairly new pub on the street. Fairly small, certainly compared to the Blue Boar though there was an unexplored room upstairs which may have been a bit bigger. A modernish interior which hasn’t got anything particularly offensive about it and was quite dimly lit on my rather late evening visit and in fact me and Mrs Quinno were the only customers, in contrast to the Blue Boar which we had just left which was doing a healthy trade. A big electronic board showcased the wide range of beers available. There were three pumps at the bar with two on from Four Points and Tiny Rebel (NBSS 2.5). Also a fair selection of keykeg and I tried a third of the Cloudwater which was a tad warm, not what you’d expect really. The friendly lass behind the bar was good value for a chat. I guess my visit - very late on an early weekday evening outside of University term time - meant I didn’t see it anywhere near its best. Rated 6.5

As previously mentioned a long narrow pub/bar with three handpumps and six craft taps, I had a pint of Eyam Quarantine on cask. Though small the bar is comfortable and worthy of a visit if nearby.

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.
