After savoring a few light ales at a preceding haunt, a companion steered me towards the Black Lion. The moment we crossed its threshold, a vivacious and unexpectedly animated atmosphere greeted us, complete with live music on a Monday ? a delightful enigma.Lured by whispers of Bavarian-style steins, I inquired with the spooky-looking barkeep. To my astonishment, she confirmed and pointed me toward the traditional German wheat beers ? a choice not for the faint of heart.Emboldened, I hoisted the stein brimming with the alcoholic wheat elixir, adorned with a tantalizing slice of orange that danced with citrus notes in the potion.Venturing forth into the garden, bathed in warmth and illuminated by flames, I found solace as both the ambience and the stein worked their magic. A secondary bar beckoned, a haven of diverse libations. However, succumbing to the elixir's effects, I realized I had reached my limit, barely making it home in one piece.In reflection, the Black Lion stands as a formidable establishment, firmly etched on my revisit list, where I anticipate engaging once more in a spirited battle with the Germans.

A pub with a great range of cask ales an Oakham beer is usually available. There is also a separate craft beer and gin bar just off of the garden. Frequent beer festivals are held.

This is our local. We love it. It's a proper pub with wooden beams throughout, a large selection of wine, beer, and spirits. There's always lots of events throughout the year and a craft beer/gin bar in the large part-covered garden to the rear with heaters. There are also hot pasties at the bar along with cheeseboards with crackers and pickles. I couldn't recommend it enough
