The Best pub in Gillingham.. friendly bar staff and good selection of lagers. Nice Beer garden at the rear too.

Unlike the leisure centre opposite, of which this pub shares its names, it is quite unlikely you�ll leave The Black Lion feeling any better about yourself. A scruffy, run-down establishment, with few redeeming qualities, it is surprising how a pub like this remains in operation. On my visit last Tuesday afternoon (4th Dec) there were a grand total of 3 customers (including yours truly) in an atmosphere that can only be described as dead. I knew it wouldn�t exactly be bustling, but I was a little knocked back by it. Drink selection was fairly minimal with Courage Best (though only �1.60) being the only ale. I opted for Guinness and that�s where the comedy begins. It must have took the barmaid a good 5 minutes to get to grips with it and the result was myself sitting at a table and her bringing it over. To make sure further calamities didn�t ensue, she even started pouring the follow up before I�d finished it! A couple of school kids entered the pub shortly after and that was when I really wanted to leave. I noticed there is a room with a pool table to the back of the pub and a beer garden as well, but honestly, I won�t be checking it out! The singular quality this pub possesses is the fact that the staff seemed friendly. I wouldn�t visit.
