Amazing views of Clifton bridge and the river. So nice at all times of the year for a drink. I?ve not eaten here but the food is supposed to be very good. I?d recommend sitting out on the terrace - weather permitting!

I ordered anchovies pizza and it was 100/10 the taste was delicious, the seasoning was delicious. The waiter service was great, they charged my phone for me when I requested. And the atmosphere was beautiful, however the lights on the cliff wall were a little bit blinding we had to move our table away from them, and it gets a bit chilly so make sure to bring an extra jacket

Came in for a hot chocolate, no drinks menus and no cash allowed. Asked for 2 Hot Chocolates , to which the staff both started to argue between themselves after. I Payed to find that I had actually been over charged also when I looked back at my bank statement compare to the menu, and to top it off my hot chocolate was about 50% just foam and cost me £5

Fabulous view . Probably the worst pizza I have EVER eaten. Buying drinks was badly organised. Go for the view as long as you aren?t thirsty because you will have to wait for drinks. Definitely don?t go for the food.

We came for some quick drinks. It's a nice place with an amazing view. The variety of drinks offered is good, and there are also meals available. Great place to visit

The location was amazing. But that was it. Stuff was clueless about what they were doing. They lost auer order. And not even apologise. Then food was absolutely disgusting. Just cold brioce bun and met . Wrely no flavour. Don't eat there.

Wonderful terrace with amazing view. The food was ok but nothing special. The service I didn?t like.

People behind me got to jump the queue because they wanted drinks and food and we ordered drinks already, staff miserable

I previously had this place as 5 star however on repeated visits I've felt differently. There is no doubt that the view of the bridge is second to none, and is certainly worth experiencing. However what bothers me is the service. It can be slow due to the large number of customers, but more importantly I strongly sense that the staff are unhappy which makes me worry about the working conditions/exploitation. It is perhaps the kind of place that will always attract customers due to the view, therefore takes shortcuts elsewhere. For the price of the drinks and the footfall, I'd have hoped more of the White Lion's presumably significant profits went to the servers.Previously you had to order on an app, but now you walk up to the bar (remember your table number first).I can't comment on the food except for the chips which are reliably great.

The ´White Lion is a nice pub with seatings both inside and outside. They have an OK selection of beer. Try the Camden Hell Lager.

I?d have to agree with previous reviews about the White Lion. Having visited before I was aware of the vast outside space and panoramic view - this is very much the only reason to bother with this pub.The inside bar was closed despite the weather being a bit off (just about ok to enjoy the view outside though). The ordering options were to queue at the outside bar and order from a till, offer your table number and then they bring you the drinks once they?re ready. Alternatively you could download an app to order to your table. We opted for the latter as both options meant you?d have to wait once ordering making queuing pointless.It took about 20 minutes for the drinks to come and pints were £7 on average, which is eye watering. The staff also seemed miserable and were quite rude at times and refused to clean tables when asked. My pint came as pictured and was a bit short of a pint, but it was so much hassle here it wasn?t worth complaining as you can?t even go to a person who has access to making drinks.It?s a shame they don?t make more effort given the setting and they clearly are milking the cash cow at minimal effort and offering little in the way of customer experience. I?d recommend getting some cans and sitting in the hill nearby instead of coming here. Rating based purely on the setting.

Popped in on Friday afternoon for a quick drink and a pizza on the terrace in the sunshine, the view was amazing as were the staff who are all very attentive and polite. The service was excellent and the pizza was delicious, very fresh and homemade. We even managed to see the balloons set off, a wonderful afternoon!

It was a beautiful hot sunny day when we got to this establishment and decided to sit on the terrace thankfully under a parasol. We decided what to eat I then went and ordered our meal. Hubby had the pastrami roll, I decided on the Thai green curry. Both meals arrived nicely prepared thankfully I hadn?t ordered the pastrami, as I had a slice of my husband?s and boy was it HOT, but he managed to enjoy it. Sadly mine didn?t come up to what I was expecting :-(((( the only thing I can say is the rice was wonderful as for the green part? That was a joke as the curry part was just liquid with chopped onions and peppers, the chicken was just lumps of tasteless chicken. Not even served with a Nan bread or popadom !! If you?re going to go to Clifton there are plenty of other options and places to eat. But for the views this place is unrivalled.
