A pub's attraction is generally made of atmosphere, staff, other patrons, and to the least of all food and, of course, drinks.
The Lion pub has great and friendly staff. It's attracts a nice and pleasant crowd. Its drinks are fine, its chips are great, the food is not bad at all.
Every visit there is a win. Warmly recommended.

Absolutely adore the pub decor, it’s classy, modern and clean. The atmosphere is lively and civilised. The staff are fantastic; incredibly friendly, very helpful and respectful. Great selection of beers and cocktails and really enjoy chicken wings and jalapeños poppers.
An alright pub - was way less crowded than Kennedy's on Thursday night. Murphys instead of Guinness, but that's alright for me. Staff looked a little grumpy and overwhelmed, though service was fast. Nachos are a mountain for some reason, so when the toppings are over one is left with a slightly less mountain of salty chips - there's plenty of topping, but still way more chips, and cheddar solidifies much faster than it's possible to consume even a quarter of that. Why such a humongous portion is beyond me - though was tasty as much as I could stomach, 1/3 would have been quite enough. Overall decent pub, though didn't feel special to me.
Unbelievably small food portions. Don't eat here unless on a diet. Steak Pie (ie mini Pukka pie) took 30 plus minutes to defrost, fish and chips only has one small piece of fish and a thimble of mushy peas. Good for sports though, just plan for a pre or post visit kebab.
Excellent pub Food, in a more Zúrich than English pub ambiance. The perfect mix of experience to enjoy the sports event in the Zúrich context, with higher food quality standards than in nearby pubs.
First night in Zurich on a business trip and was looking for a quick bite. The pub has a polished interior with a well lit space, especially compared to most US pubs. The bar tender was friendly and attentive. The drinks and food came fast and were very good. The food menu was extensive with very good burger, sandwich and entree options. The beer menu could use a few more options for both draft and bottled beers. I would give it 4.5 stars.
After a few hours of exploring Old Town Zurich, we stopped here for the beginning of our pub crawl. This was stop number one. The decor is tastefully done and not gaudy. They had a good selection of beer on tap. There is a snug overlooking a brasserie. They have outdoor seating too. I ordered a Moscow mule which even came in a proper copper mug. There was a food menu but we only came from drinks.
A family with kids and strollers sat near us and ordered food so it's good for kids too.

Went to The Lion to watch the 6 Nations Rugby, and decided to try their Sunday Beef Roast. It was excellent and really tasty! Perfect with a Murphy’s Red Ale and the Rugby! Will defo be back next time I’m in Zurich and the Rugby is on :) The service was also great!
