Golden Lion Bar, Pub in Watford

Reviews

   I had a great experience at the Golden Lion. The atmosphere felt warm and relaxed from the moment I walked in, and it’s exactly the kind of pub where you can unwind without any rush. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which always makes a big difference. I really enjoyed the food — everything came out fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavour. My meal was served quickly, and the portion sizes were generous. The outdoor seating area was also a big plus, perfect for a casual drink or lunch in a comfortable setting. Overall, it’s a solid pub with great service, good food, and a cosy vibe. I’d happily come back again.

   A beautiful pub with a very nice outdoor area. Games being televised, board games are available, great prices, the kitchen had already closed when I went.

   There’s a nice friendly vibe here with a pleasant interior and good seating. The dart board is a great addition too! Good range of drinks, decent prices and friendly staff means I’d happily return!

   Great pub. There are few pubs in Watford now that aren't soulless chains and even fewer than will make you feel at home when you're there; the Golden Lion is a decent, friendly pub that is worth spending an evening in. Support your local!

   Great Sunday dinner and really good value. We had four empty dinner plates which is always a sign! . Friendly bar lady and warm atmosphere. Thankyou

   Met one of my oldest and bestest friends here with a group of her friends celebrating her birthday. I loved the Kareoke. Everyone is encouraged to have a go especially if you can't sing. We all left at midnight too full of lovely beer. Brilliant night!

   I love traditional pubs but sadly Watford centre is lacking, so sought this place out. Very attractive exterior, a modern single room interior, with a lovely outdoor space. Great selection of drinks but only one of the three real ales (Bombardier) was available at the time of my visit (mid-Saturday afternoon). Also a little too much bad language for my liking, not helped by the landlord’s contribution! A friendly welcome from the landlady and a pleasant enough experience, but could be better.
