As far as a local pub goes, the Lion and Dragon definitely is a fair place to wet your whistle, id go as far as to say it's a spot for local regulars to grab a pint or two after work before heading home. Just not a spot you'd wants hang out in for an excessively long time.
The pub is hidden away inside the courtyard of an older plaza - the looks of which appear to be almost old world European in likeness. You really can't miss this plaza as you drive east on Hwy 2 (Kingston road) just look for the antique looking black and white plaza.
Having only An entirely non- craft beer offering was disappointing, however I feel good craft options might be lost on the regulars here as they appear to be a hard Labatt bar with no other options available. The server informed me they used to serve Beaus but not anymore.
We went today for old times sake, as it was the favorite spot for wings of a late family member. Between the three of us we had a French dip sandwich, a nacho steak sandwich and a "perfect for one" wing combo. My French dip was "ok" the gravy made the difference here because the beef was very dry. The wings definitely lived up to their reputation as sizable and meaty with a good batter on them.
If I'm in the area is come back for wings and beer but definitely nothing else. It's familiar and cozy so that's the appeal for me. Otherwise not worth seeking out.
