"Located in the middle of West End Lane, (not literally, geographically! , is this gem of a pub. In the evenings or when the sun is out this is one of the best places you can be. The decor is upscale; it is rustic and very tastefully decorated. There is a terrace at the front and a split level fully decked back garden, which is perfect for a few drinks in the sun. I live locally and go here often as they have a great selection of beer and a really chilled and relaxing atmosphere. Service is quick and friendly and they even remember your preferences if you come here often enough! In the summer they do a barbeque in the back garden which is delicious and recommended if you go with a few friends. I have eaten here only once and as it's an upscale gastro pub it wasn't cheap; I had an Angus rib-eye steak, hand cut chips with pink peppercorn sauce, which came to nearly £20 alone. It did taste great though and was thoroughly enjoyed. The only thing I can criticise this place for is that if you come here and the place is busy but the restaurant area is completely dead, they still won't let you use a table unless you're eating there, which is quite silly. If you're in the area and need a nice place for a drink then stop by The Black Lion."

Ducked in out of the rain for a bite and a pint, very satisfied and love the vibe and decor. Good prices.

The restaurant has fantastic food and a wonderful ambiance. I highly recommend it. Both the fish and chips and the lamb burger were top-notch.

Some places have bad food. Some places have bad service. This place has both. This is a bar. It is not a pub. Nothing wrong with that. Drinks and some sport is fine but that is all this place does remotely well.

This pub is consistently welcoming and cozy. We make it a point to visit at least once a week to indulge in a beer, a dessert, or their delicious Sunday Roast. The menu is extensive and the chef's soup is always exceptional. Sundays are especially enjoyable with the quiz night - such a fun time!

My experience with the Black Lion Nw6 is limited. Had a pint in the back patio area. Suffice to say the selection of beers is good and the inside and outside seating is copious and attractive. The amount of front terrace and back patio seating is truly a distinguishing feature. The inside atmosphere is welcoming and warm. Didn't get to experience the menu, but hope to rectify this soon.

Located in West Hampstead, The Black Lion is a charming pub that accommodated our large party with reservations. The pub features a lovely patio and I enjoyed a delicious Pimm's cocktail. Our group tried a variety of dishes including fish and chips, saffron risotto, bread with various dips, ravioli, and duck salad. While some dishes were not as flavorful or were a bit dry, the ravioli stood out as particularly delicious. Overall, The Black Lion is a good spot to visit if you're in the area, although prices are slightly on the higher side.

This is a lovely pub, tastefully redecorated a few years back and renamed The Black Lion . This is a pub with a great vibe, good music, friendly staff and a great back garden area and another outside area our front that very inviting. Lots of leather couches and wood paneling make this spacious pub a very nice place to have a drink with friends. The food I would say is very good but not outstanding and a touch over priced. But the restaurant earing area is very pleasant with candle light tables at night. I think it 's the best pub in West end Lane personally but it has close second places nearby. West Hampstead always has plenty to offer including great pubs.

Very confusing that there are two Black Lion pubs in West Hampstead, but luckily I made it to the right one for our Xmas do ; The ambience is nice and the table were decorated with crackers, poppers, and my personal favourite, little solo menu cards! I was a bit sceptical of the only veggie main on the special Xmas menu, but ordered it with good grace. When the tagine arrived I was knocked out; the subtlety and taste were excellently done and I could have eaten all of it, were I not saving myself for the sticky toffee pudding (which was gloriously sweet and sticky and yes toffee ee!! Small gripe is that the loos are definitely in need of TLC basically a refurb is crucial for this place to ho...

Preparing for drinks at another West Hampstead pub, I decided to go for dinner to the Black Lion. The pub was quite busy on that Thursday evening and the overall atmosphere was very good. I like the interior of this pub, not too old fashioned and also not too much trying to be cool. For my dinner, I ordered a burger. It looked nice and tasted ok, but some little thing, a random flavour, did not taste right for me. Also, I found the bun a bit too sturdy, which made the burger a bit difficult to eat. The chips were fine. On the plus side, after getting involved in a conversation with a nice girl at my table who was there with colleagues for after work drinks, I stayed for another glass of wine...
