The Black Lion, Nantwich

Well worth a visit six hand pulled beers, three being Weetwood, Adam the barman is a great cellarman.

The Black Lion is a smallish old pub in the town centre. Once inside the pub felt quite cosy as there was a real fire on the go. There were three real ales on the bar i had a drink of Weetwood best bitter which was a very nice drink the other beers were Weetwood Old Dog and Titanic Lifeboat. I thought this was a decent pub to have a few drinks in. Pub visited 28/12/2002

Visited in May 2010 Small, but attractive looking traditional inn dating back to 1664 and situated in the centre of town. The characterful interior features low beams, some exposed brickwork and a mixture of flagstones and wooden flooring. Although nooks and crannies create 3 different, but adjoining separate drinking areas, the use of large tables mean that seating arrangements are not as user friendly as could be. Additional room is available in an upstairs lounge. There's an outside drinking area at the side of the pub which, with some unusual roofed seating, feels a bit like drinking in a garden centre. On my recent early evening visit, 6 real ales were on, of which 3 were from the nearby Weetwood Brewery - Cheshire Cat, Best and Old Dog. Other beers on were Cottage Phantom, Rugby Brewery Union and Stationhouse Buzzin. Prices ranged from £ 2.60p to £ 3.00p. My pint of Cheshire Cat - £ 2.80p - tasted a bit uninspiring. The pub has been in CAMRA Good Beer Guides, but it's not in the 2010 Edition. Worthy of consideration for a visit if in the area.
