The Golden Lion Inn, Bridgnorth

This old place is now Holden's latest outlet. I'd not been to it before but I can't imagine that they've changed the layout at all. As mentioned below there is a public bar through a right door as you enter and a lounge bar to the left. The public bar is a small wooden floored room running along the front of the pub. There's an upholstered bench along the front wall with small tables chairs and stools. The bar has a number of bar stools which were taken up by locals. There is an obtrusive TV screen on the front wall which was showing a cricket match that nobody was watching. The lounge bar runs perpendicular to the public and is carpeted. There is a small family / dining area at the rear. There is an old alleyway at the back leading to a car park and the Gents making it in my book at least an outside toilet. The public bar has five hand pumps and the lounge three. There were five Holden's beers and what appeared to be a Holden's cider. The five beers were Mild, Bitter, Golden Glow, Special and Old Ale. I had a Golden Glow (£3.10), Special (£3.20) and the Old which was at the sale price of £3.20 so I had two. All were excellent. This is a fine addition to Bridgnorth's beer choice and I will return after the Joules Shakespeare opens.
