Steve C left this review about The Black Lion
The Black Lion entrance leads to a small front bar area with long table in the window and a large round table against the left wall that must be a nice spot on a cold winters evening when the fire is glowing. The bar, that runs up the length of the right hand wall, serves this front area, a small mid-section with seating and a larger rear bar, where all of the locals were assembled during a recent Thursday evening visit. I didn’t note the presence of any televisions, but there was some background music playing in the rear bar. Upstairs is a dining room and lounge that I didn’t visit on this occasion.
The bar supports eight handpumps, four in the front bar and four in the rear. The cask ale options during my visit were Weetwood’s Old Dog, Cheshire Cat and Best alongside Coach House Brewing’s Innkeepers Special Reserve and Tatton Brewery’s Gold. A limited standard keg range is also available, as is food. The cheeseburger is priced at £11.95.
This is a traditional 17th century pub with low beams, exposed brickwork and stone floors that is certainly worth a look if visiting Nantwich.

A very good olde world timbered pub in ancient market town. Like many pubs in town, a small front view leads into a long interior split into different parts. Weetwood Bitter and Cheshire Cat were doubled up on both bars, with Sandstone Edge and Stonehouse Station added on the front bar, and Weetwood Old Dog and Rudgate Brew No43 added at the rear bar.

Old Boots left this review about The Black Lion
Small half timbered building split into three areas. A front bar with four pumps, a rear bar with four pumps of different beers and a small sitting area in between. Old boards in the front two rooms, new flags in the back. There's an outside area with a couple of humourously named spaces but I didn't investigate too far. Classic olde English pub, the beers not bad. The layout makes service a bit difficult for the staff so you may have to track them down or shout.
