The Golden Lion
One of Bristol's key live music pubs.
Under the same management as the infamous Old Duke pub on Bristol's harbourside, the Golden Lion is another staple live music pub in Bristol.
Live music is served every night of the week except Sundays and entry is always free except for Friday (usually £3). The Golden Lion's listings are typically jazz, funk, blues or folk based, basically their music policy is pretty varied.
The venue can be a great place to catch new projects for established Bristol musicians so it's always worth checking whats on at the Golden Lion. Unlike The Old Duke in Bristol it's a larger pub and usually fairly easy to get a table on weeknights.

Our recent recommendations for The Golden Lion
One of the most underrated UK bands of the 90s, Prolapse revisit their signature spikey compound of driving post-punk, janky krautrock, and sweeping shoegaze, existing in a hallowed space somewhere between The Delgados and The Fall. A big deal in our world, and FFO: Life Without Buildings, Arab Strap, Beta Band.
PROLAPSE + Shoun Shoun + Charlie Tipper Rebellion at The Golden Lion.
Greek psych-folk maniacs Thrax Punks crash back into The Golden Lion, weaponising Thracian folk rhythms with punk’s serrated edge to make a sonic Molotov cocktail. Flutes spiral into feedback, riotous drums gallop and collide, and guitars squall into a maelstrom of noise that tears tradition apart...
Thrax Punks at The Golden Lion.
Off-kilter noise rock erupting in a glorious mess of grindcore / avant-metal fury, industro-rock snarl and gonzo Primus chops. Why Patterns are here to knock you sideways alongside Field Boss’ agricultural dirge rock and nail-biting pedal abuse from Distraxi. Sunday dinner sorted FFO: Lightning Bolt, Mr Bungle, Jesus Lizard, Full of Hell, Gilla Band, Rocket Recs, Amphetamine Reptile.
Why Patterns + Throb + Field Boss + Distraxi at The Golden Lion.
Sitting at the ceremonial crossroads of post-rock and doomgaze, Sarram administers Earth-crushing drone rituals for a dying world. Sharp Noodle’s serving you She The Throne’s hellish industrialized trip-hop for starters + ATC / Eggy Tapes’ in-house pain jazz gremlin Monika Badly. Essential ruin FFO: Sunn O))), Nadja, Main, Coil, Bonnacons of Doom, Dis Fig & The Body.

Sampledelic gore-grind noise-aggedon from Bilbao via Sharp Noodles. We doubt you’ve experienced anything like the total sonic destruction of Mutilated Judge in the flesh (well done if you have, you wrong-un’). There’s at least 7 more reasons to attend including Betrayers’ hella crusted doomgrind and plenty of Eggy Tapes-endorsed harsh noise FFO: Napalm Death (duh), Gutalax, Stoma, Avulsed.
