Black Lion, Scarborough

Called in here on our way to The Angel as we had heard that it had improved in the past couple of years. It's certainly been refurbished and everywhere looks neat and clean. The left hand side room has a pool table and is more of a tap room. The right hand side room is the lounge and has a mix of comfy bench seats and standard table and chairs. A very mixed bunch in this room. A couple of regulars, a woman with a large suitcase and a bunch of noisy holiday makers who were loudly discussing what they were going to sing at a karaoke pub on the seafront later. Two handpumps on the bar Ringwood Best Bitter and Fortyniner. I had a pint of the Fortyniner which was OK but a little tired. It's definitely an improvement, but I don't think it will be one of our regular haunts.

The Landlady has been in this pub for over 4 years,and has refurbished the the pub and all the rooms including adding a excelent beer garden were you can eat drink and smoke.The food is of a high standard and cooked by the Landlady Pat.It is a local pub in the town centre.

Found this a really decent place, which is pretty hard in Scarborough to be honest, the only disappointment being that the Jennings wasn't on, so had to have Banks's, which at least is a good back-up for a Midlander, when there isnt any MILD in the town! I didnt take the wife!

dirty smells and ruff do not take the wife but ok if you like old style pubs
