The Green Lion Inn

Visited many times (Marts 2013)

Visited Wednesday week 40, October 3, 2018
First time visitor to this place, though by far not my first time in Malmö.
Local to Sweden, come to Malmö now and then, but not very regularly.
This place was on the way, more or less, from where I was working to where my hotel was located. Never sought it out before, mainly since I have a few favorite places in ton I tend to go to directly. Figured I could grab a short beer and check out a new place since I had some time.
Was a fairly nice day, so the outdoors seating was kind of popular, despite this being only around 5 pm or so. Not very crowded inside, but a few people hanging about. Two of the staff working the bar, fast and attentive service. I wasn't ready to order right away, but they were patient with me, and helpful when I had questions.
Didn't eat, didn't use the bathroom, had one smallish beer and then was on my way.
Taps a lot more than I had expected, though as for 40 listed here I am thinking perhaps that includes the 15 or so with mixed drinks on tap?
Quite a few beers available I hadn't tasted before, so went for one of those.
Nice enough, "English style" pub. Happy to see a cask available, though was from a brewery I don't really buy often due to varying quality of their beers. Nice and helpful staff. Situated quite close to the central station, so good for that first or last beer if coming or leaving by train or bus. Also good if staying central, location wise. I still will go to my personal favorites before this place, but given the opportunity again like this time, will or sure sneak by for another beer.

Very close to the central station, located on the backside. Very British boozer / pub indeed, quite a big one, spacious, does its thing quite well even if it felt slightly fake. Very friendly and good service. Draft & cask selection sadly was akin to that of an average pub and not a specialized one. Cask was standard Fuller’s offerings, taps were almost entirely big brand pale lagers, garbage Belgians like Kwak & Weihenstephaner. Lots of taps but almost nothing worth nothing, they had two house beers, I tried one and it turned out to be a dreadful pale lager. Bottle selection is a bit better including the likes of new Evil Twin, Mikkeller,… Also a lot stuff that one can do without like sweetened lambiek. Prices seemed a bit steep compared to other places. Overall not that interesting for a beer geeks & if you want to stay very close to the station, there is a The Bishops Arms very nearby which a far better option.

Cosey bar close to railwaystation. 16taps of which 4 casks with Fullers. Not many rareties. but many nice but expensive bottles.

English style pub, didn’t think the beer range here was as good as the other places I visited in Malmo. Staff were friendly, the beer I had was good and prices not too bad. Not sure I’d dash back but might give it another chance.

Looks and feels like a bar in a middle England market town, all the way to the large bank of handpumps. Good pub.

Very English style bar, very wide and varied tap selection, including cask. Good service, seems to have decent ambience.

Once one of the best pubs in Malmö, but the last couple of years the knowledgable staff has been replaced. Now many of their beers on tap are in bad shape when you order them, and the staff doesn’t even notice/care. The food has also taken a turn for the worse.
