The Best pub in Gillingham.. friendly bar staff and good selection of lagers. Nice Beer garden at the rear too. phonak - 17 Jan 2010 17:26 |
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. HTM69 - 9 Dec 2007 11:24 |
