Me and my family stayed at this pub /hotel to go to see Ollie Murs in concert. Unfortunately the concert got cancelled so our plans had to change. On arrival at the Black Lion, the staff we very welcoming and gave us some advice on what and where we could go. It's in a great city location, so we went into the city for a few cocktails, then back to the Black Lion where they had live entertainment and were brilliant. In the bar itself, they have plenty of tables and pool area, which is always a bonus. Great friendly staff, good drink choices, and a fab atmosphere. They do food with a great menu, we didn't have an evening meal there, but did have breakfast after our evening stay. The hotel rooms were extremely clean and very modern and we all had a very comfortable sleep. Breakfast was served from 8 am. until 11 a.m., and the menu had good choices. Within the eating area, there was tea, coffee, juices, and a variety of cereal with milk. The Black Lion is in a great city location, amazing staff and atmosphere, and I would highly recommend a visit or stay. Another bonus is that there are numerous secure carpark within a few minutes' walk. I would definitely go back when visiting Manchester again.

A great pub in Salford. The food was a tad bland, I had the "spicey" hot dog, which to me wasn't spicey, but on the other hand the beer was very good as was the service.

3 plates for £12, onion rings, Calamari and Chicken tenders, all really good and well worth it!
