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
Shitty Future's fav gutter dwellers just got ranker with the stench wafting off their next LP - for those that know, Rank are DLH råpunk at it's ugliest. Aggy d-beat histrionics spark off this 6 band car crash with VØTIV's disintegrating crust, veteran Notts anarcho-rippers Blind Eye, hostile fastcore unit Thumbsucker + more self-immolating mayhem.
Rank album launch With Votiv, Blind Eye & more at The Golden Lion.
Deeper down the noid-hole, things are getting pretty damn intense! Fresh from scorching the Wetware motherboard, AM Sin relive their modular augmented vocal exorcisms just for you + Lucifer Sky's death industrial psychotherapy collides with Viimeinen's harrowing harsh electronics. A nightmare you won't want to wake from FFO: Holly Herndon, Pharmakon, OPN, Evicshen.
Noid hits the back room of the Golden Lion with a double headline show of dark ambience, harsh noise and spoken word
No parli Italiano? Well Raw Power have been speaking the universal language of kicking your punk ass since '81, so why ain't they on your battle jacket next to Agnostic Front and Broken Bones huh? A crossover tornado cometh, at the centre: the gnarliest Euro-hxc band ever....and you.

Sell out warning! WHOA-OHHHHH!! Béton Armé flips the Shitty crowd into a cider-soaked punk gang choir with their timeless Oi-powered earworms. No French GCSE needed, this is writ in the universal tongue and it’s catchier than the plague. Mad bonus points for Dark Thoughts’ 50-second amphetamine bubblegum power-punk – boss level bookings FFO: Syndrome ’81, Nabat, Descendents, Mean Jeans.
Oi Punks and more in town
Sell out warning! Ritual psych, widescreen folk horror and mystical, droning doom - Smote are gonna clear new pagan pathways of heaviness in the megalithic corridors of your mind. With Scathing God and The New Bristol Shakers freshly freed from the Avon dungeons for a first time sacrifice, this is an aural bog burial FFO: Earth, Darkher, Grails, torching The Wicker Man.
Vice versa + Feral decay presents Smote, live at the Golden lion
