    This is a fantastic little pub wines spirits and lots of beer, they have lots of choice and there is something for everyone to drink. The place is really nicely decorated and has upstairs seating as well. We popped in before going to dinner and had some really good wine and beer. It has a really good atmosphere it's really worth a visit staff are super friendly and know there stuff about the drinks they are serving. This pub is worth visiting and is a must if your beer drinker or just like a nice glass of something.

    A really sweet little real ale/craft beer pub. Only open selected days but always have a good selection of well kept ales and ciders and a fridge with cans too. Staff are knowledgeable about the selection and happy make recommendations or provide a taster sample. upstairs is more roomy and really nicely furnished. They also have super cool hop lamps!

    On paper, the strength of the Two-Tailed Lion is its rotating selection of craft beers. This is the perfect pub for beer nerds in Leicester. In practice, I was even more impressed by the atmosphere. Many of the staff and clientele are on first-name basis, and I saw customers decompressing here after work with a pint and a book. Being in the city centre, I imagine that the pub is more frequented by the after-work crowd than it is a "local". It's a beautiful old pub building that's modernised but cosy. It's still out of the way, and not overcrowded. Highly recommend swinging by after work if you work in Leicester city centre

    A decent pub with several cask ales and a selection of keg craft beers on tap, as well as a fridge with bottled and canned craft beer. Tables and seats are available on the ground and first floors, but the toilets are on the first floor so may be an issue for those with mobility impairments.

    Really friendly staff with delicious beer. Not many pubs have a variety of keg beers like the Two-Tailed Lion. And they rotate them regularly which makes for a nice change when (not if) you go back!

    Lovely little pub in a beautiful old building. Great selection of craft beers local and nationwide including cask.

    Great beer choices, a good mix of craft beers you can see why it has won a CAMRA award this year. If Craft is your thing a must visit place in Leicester

    Great beer selection for a wee cosy bar. Staff are super friendly too.

  • 5/5 win t. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited this place by accident while exploring this city. Perfect place to enjoy a variety of great keg & cask beers. Been there for a quick one but I spent more time for tasting cool craft beers from the famous breweries. Very reasonable prices. Such lovely atmosphere. Staff was such friendly n service was with smile. Had quality time there. Thanks to them.

  • 5/5 Craig w. 1 year ago on Google
    Cosy little pub and bottle shop. Had Strawberry cider bottle and a pint of brewers gold. Very nice drinks and friendly atmosphere. Would recommend a visit

  • 4/5 Drew S. 1 year ago on Google
    One for those who like craft beers. They have an ever changing range of beers from a range of brewers. They are happy to give little samples before you buy and will give you good advice on which of the beers to drink depending on your tastes. The bar area is pretty small but there is more seating upstairs. Well worth a visit for those looking for tasty beers that are different to the norm.

    Small craft beer bar/pub, consistently good, always something interesting to try.

  • 5/5 Carl J. 2 years ago on Google
    Every bit as good as everyone said it was… wish I was a little more sober when I got there as I’d of stayed for a few more - it’s a must if you are in a Leicester tho…

    Ehren makes this venue more than just a good pub, it's a place where community is valued and a real emphasis is placed on quality.
