Visited in April 24. One cask (Black Sheep) almost undrinkable. Lots of lagers available and prices reasonably cheap, but not for those wanting a decent ale. One main room dominated by large televisions for showing sports, so probably a good pub if that's what you want. Small beer garden to the east of the pub.

It's quite a shock to walk through the door of the oldest pub in Pudsey and find yourself in a sports bar that could be anywhere in the West Riding. (It reminded me of a similar pub in Horsforth, not many miles away - a lovely exterior, but something else on the inside.) The pub is much as described in the previous reviews, with the bar still on the left, still with two hand pumps. Unfortunately one of them had Bradfield Farmers Blonde on, which wasn't very good; I should have asked for John Smiths Smooth instead.

The Golden Lion is a decent looking pub from the outside.
Once inside things go downhill quickly,there is one large square shaped room with the bar on the left side,the seating is a few normal tables and chairs on the right side and three seating bays to the rear one slightly raised,the rest of the room is devoid of any seating making it look pretty bare.
There were two pumps on the bar both unclipped so it was a drink of John Smiths Smooth Crap which summed this pub up,to add to the woes of this pub two large dogs were running riot around the pub.
The one plus point was some decent background music.
There is not a lot going for this pub and while i looked round i thought there could be no quick cure for it.
