The Black Lion
Sun-trap beer garden pub with live bands & dog-friendly vibes in West Hampstead.
The Black Lion is a pub and restaurant at 295 West End Lane, NW6 1LG, in West Hampstead. It describes its offer as "Feel-Good Food, Cocktails, Craft Beer & Live Music", served in a lively, laid-back setting.
The kitchen cooks what the pub calls "low 'n' slow feel-good comfort food", and the menu runs from starters and small plates, such as baked Camembert to share or buttermilk fried chicken, to sandwiches and mains, with vegetarian and vegan dishes marked. A brunch dish with bottomless drinks is listed for Saturdays. Drinks include cocktails and craft beers, and the pub also shows football and rugby.
Its main outdoor feature is a "spacious sun-trap beer garden". Paws of London records outdoor seating, an enclosed garden and shade, and lists the pub as dog-friendly after an editorial check; the dog-policy card below shows where that comes from and when it was last checked.
