The White Lion Welcome to our page! One of Bristol's oldest pubs, located right in the centre, we even ha
(250)

This is one of the oldest pubs in Bristol and behind the bar lies is a section of the old city wall. Located in the heart of the city and close to many attractions, the White Lion is the ideal place to meet for a pre or post show drink, and the heated sheltered area means you can enjoy a drink outside, even on the chilliest of evenings.
