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
Richmond, VA must be seriously fucking depressing, cos it’s a proper breeding ground for some of the rawest Stateside hardcore around. Ultimate Disaster kick down the door with classic d-beat boots: buzzsaw stompers powered by world crushing rage, sitting unpretty next to Sweet Fantasy’s pogo-friendly eggy power-core. A real rager FFO: Discharge, Disclose, Disaster, Destruct, Deathcharge (all the Ds), Gimic.
Ultimate Disaster, Sweet Fantasy, & Mortal Filth at The Golden Lion.
End-of-days metallic crust and nihilistic stenchcore rocketing outta the pagan sewers of Rome! No masters and all that, but Nihildum deserves your total allegiance alongside Ashes of Death’s putrid d-beat destruction and the pure gonzo splatter-punk horrorshow that is Disciple BC. Nuclear bunker soundtrack sorted FFO: Sacrilege, Amebix, Deviated Instinct, Axegrinder, Bolt Thrower.

Italian power-punks SNÜFF crash-land in a cyclone of organ stabs, off-kilter hooks, and irrepressible mischief, transforming The Golden Lion into a shrine to maximalism alongside art-rockers Break for Lovers and Who Killed Bunny? Wear something that can take a glittering! FFO: Buzzcocks, 20/20, the Nerves.
Italian flower-punk trio SNÜFF is hitting the road for an EU tour, stopping by Bristol...
An unruly night of noise and invention! Iran Iran’s chonky instrumental girth, Science Bastard’s caustic post-punk bite, Belle Royals’ feral two-piece assault, and an album launch for Mr Sharp Noodle’s noise-pop project Linus Fitness-Centre. Cheap thrills FFO: No Age, Empath, Lightning Bolt, ISIS.
4 BANDS FOR A FIVER! PARTY LIKE IT'S 2022
Sell out warning! The PNW’s definitive slice of hxc gristle lands on your plates for the first time in 5 years, gobble it up children! Delay-drenched nihilism distilled into ugly AF mid-tempo sludgeries... Gag want war, and no doubt you’ll give it to them. No-brainer: FFO: Iron Lung Recs, Poison Idea, Bib, Warthog, Spy, No Trend.
