Best KPortal Reviews

The Golden Lion is a friendly community pub not far from St. Ives Harbour and offers a decent selection of beers/ciders, solid-quality pub food and a relaxed atmosphere. This is less of a tourist place than, say, The Lifeboat Inn, so your may find more locals than foreigners (myself excluded) here. The bar staff are very friendly indeed, and you can better unwind in this rather small establishment than at the larger, busier places.
As food I had the chilli chicken with wedges and a better-than-average salad garnish (not the three dry leaves often served). The chicken breast was agreeably spicy and well prepared. There were quite a few inviting options on the menu. Drinks prices are pretty much average for the location (so, not too low).
Best value locals boozer of the few pubs explored in St Ives. Struck lucky as 2 mail meals for price of 1 Thursday evening £15 bargain.
Top Pub friendly staff good Beer ????
Unspoilt character pub thought the £10.50 for the 2 carling would have put a bit of a smile on the unwelcoming miserable landlords face tho
A pub with character.
What's there to say, The Golden Lion is a must visit for a taste of Saint Ives. Full interesting characters such as Treebeard you'll be kept entertained, also a super friendly and helpful barman as well. Plus a Pool Table at the back for only 50p!
Lovely cozy pub. Feels like a local but everyone is made to feel welcome. Good selection of ales and Weston ciders. There is a small lounge bar at the front, and larger bar at the back along with a small garden. Decent pub food.
Came for lunch with seven of us. Dog friendly which was awesome. Food and drink were really, really good. One of the best meals on our holiday. Very much recommended for lovely pub grub and ale!
Sat in the very quiet lounge. A bit old and unkempt but service was great!
