Real Ale Ray left this review about The White Lion

Two pubs in one you may say, as each half has a completely different style and set up to the other. The White Lion part has been kitted out to be a traditional local's pub, which was very impressive. A decent sized oak finished bar area hosting 8 handpumps, timber flooring, banquette seating, standard tables and chairs. The walls were painted and wallpapered in sections along with a panelled wall.
I especially liked the collection of beer trays from various breweries back in the day. The secret door in the panelling which led you into the Blackshale bar also added a good novelty factor.
The Blackshale bar and kitchen was a decent size, along with a good sized exterior beer garden. This side of the pub mainly catered for craft and draft beer options, along with food and beer matching. The staff were all friendly and chatty, and my cask ale was superb.

Graham Coombs left this review about The White Lion

As the previous reviewer mentioned, this is now a pub in two halves just designed to confuse and leased by Lincoln Green. The front part, named White Lion and entered from a side door, has had a smart,woody refurbishment and has a great range of ten or so of their ales on handpump. The back part,entered through the main entrance on the other side, is called Blackshale Kitchen and Bar and is a much larger, modern room with a large outdoor area behind. This has a serious row of keg taps with just a couple of handpumps. The speciality of this side is matching food and beer, with recommendations on the menu. Despite appearing to be two separate businesses, they are just one pub and there is a 'secret' connecting door between the two, as well as a serving hatch connecting the bars. Both sides are quite nice and I could happily drink in either.

Now reopened and run by Lincoln Green Brewery in some sort of partnership with Star Inns (Heineken) after a costly refurbishment. The front of the pub is the traditional Lincoln Green White Lion while the rear section is a larger craft oriented bar called the Blackshale Bar & Kitchen.
