The Lion’s Head is one of my go-to spots in the North End when I want a chill, friendly vibe. The rooftop patio is the real star — perfect for soaking up the sun.
Service is always quick and friendly, even when it’s busy, and having lots of free parking nearby makes it an easy choice. It’s also a great spot for larger groups — plenty of space and a lively atmosphere without feeling cramped.
Food-wise, it’s mostly solid with the occasional standout. The sweet potato fries, burger, salad, mac and cheese, and a chicken wrap with soup I tried once as a feature were all great. The wings were just okay — not bad, but not a must-order for me.
All in all, a fun neighborhood pub with a killer patio, reliable food, and staff who make you feel welcome.

I’ve eaten at the lions head several times and always enjoyed their gluten free options. Until today when I ordered the tuna poke bowl. Easily the worst dish I have ever had at a restaurant. I have never sent food back for being inedible before this. Disappointing dish, but the server was kind enough to offer a replacement which was much better. Surprised to see the tuna poke bowl even on their menu with how bad it is. Order anything else.

It was our first time at Lion's Head, the food and drinks were amazing 👏 our server was so friendly and attentive. We sat on the roof top patio and the weather could not have been better. I highly recommend 👌
Can’t say enough good things about the Lions Head Tavern. Just held a hockey reunion on the second floor of the establishment. The space was absolutely perfect. Tables and booths for those that wanted to sit down, catch up and have a bite to eat. Plenty of room for those that wanted to stand and mingle. Great food and the beer was cold! The staff that took care of us were amazing. Friendly, polite and by the smiles on their faces , they were having as good a time as we were. I would highly recommend the second floor area for any type of reunion, business function or any other gathering that requires a functional space. Again, thanks to all staff that helped make our reunion a success. Cheers

Huge upgrade since I went. They were not ready for our large reservation when we arrived, and it wasn't busy. Roof top is definitely cute.

This place is my favorite in the hrm. I've tried atleast half of their menu and everything is 10/10. Personal favorite would be the hot honey chicken burger, honorable mention for the seafood chowder. The service is the fastest I've ever had, I think the longest we ever waited for food was 15 minutes. Highly recommend :)
