Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

"One stop pub ideally located, close to Saone river, and historical center. Nice spot, when I'm traveling to Lyon! Cosmopolitan atmosphere, without fuss! Dude, here we have beers, ciders and fish n chips, while rebuilding the world within family feel. Staff is caring and cool.Typical...setting and good vibes Only..." Highly recommend! CheersMore

If you’re missing good old British food and craving what you can’t get in Lyon / France, this is the place. Loads of British beers and - if you live in France you’ll know you can’t get decent cider. That first pint of Aspall went...down in seconds. They import their sausages and bacon from the UK so the all day breakfast is a must. Friendly bi-lingual staff so no issues if you’re not confident in French. Excellent service and a good atmosphere. Lots of French eat / drink here so can’t be too bad!More

The food was good, made to order. The meat for the burger was fresh and cooked perfectly. The place is tight or cozy, depending on how you feel. The service was good. All around decent place.

Stopped here while walking through Lyon on a Sunday afternoon. Great selection of beers and staff really friendly on arrival. We ordered 2 Sunday roasts and waited over an hour for these to arrive. When they came we were very disappointed to receive a small...piece of chicken, couple of potatoes and some seasonal ‘tinned’ vegetables. We also received no Yorkshire pudding and when we questioned this we were told they had ran out. This is something we should of been told on ordering because we would of chosen a different option. The breakfasts looked delicious. We were asked if we would like a hash brown or piece of toast to substitute... on a Sunday roast ! Would return for the beers but not for the food.More

Atmosphere good. Music good. Staff good. Food and drink offer far below average. A pup not offering Guinness ? Had the chicken tenders and fish and chips. One shall expect typical pup-food and that was what I got. However, there was no taste at all,...which means the mashed peas tasted same as the fish and the chicken 🤔. Fries were only half cooked. Sauce Tartare was a disaster. Good to have a pint if you are not up for a Guinness, but not recommendable as far as food is conerned.More
