Large live music pub at 244 Gloucester Road with bands six nights a week and free entry, except on Fridays, when it is usually £3.
The Golden Lion, at 244 Gloucester Road, is one of Bristol's key live music pubs and shares its management with the Old Duke. There is live music every night except Sunday, and entry is free apart from Friday, when it is usually £3. The programme runs from folk and jazz to punk, metal and post-hardcore: October 2026 brought the Bristol Beat Club's soul and ska night and Raw Power's thrash punk.
It is a big pub, and on weeknights you can usually find a table. Not for you if you want a quiet pint: there is a band on most nights.
Free entry most nights; Friday gigs usually charge £3.
