Golden Lyon Vintage Pub is a casual neighborhood pub inside the Riverside Hotel on Las Olas, known for brunch, happy hour, and a welcoming vibe best suited to locals, solo diners, and anyone wanting an unpretentious Las Olas hangout.

About Golden Lyon Vintage Pub

Golden Lyon Vintage Pub sits inside the Riverside Hotel on East Las Olas Boulevard, a compact neighborhood pub that regulars call a hidden gem along Fort Lauderdale’s most walkable strip. The space is small and intimate, a handful of tables inside, a welcoming bar, and a few outdoor seats right on the sidewalk where you can watch Las Olas foot traffic pass by.

Despite the vintage pub name and old-school atmosphere, Golden Lyon covers a lot of ground. The drink list runs from craft beer and cocktails to wine and hard liquor, with a popular happy hour that draws locals after work. Live music and sports on the screens give the place energy without overwhelming conversation, and weekend nights can bring dancing into the mix.

Brunch is where Golden Lyon really stands out. The kitchen turns out dishes like bananas foster pancakes and fried chicken and waffles at prices guests consistently call reasonable, generous portions without the Las Olas markup you might expect. Burgers earn strong repeat-visit loyalty from regulars, and the full bar means a mimosa or Bloody Mary is never far away. Weekday hours run 11 AM to 10 PM, with Friday and Saturday service extending to 11 PM.

The crowd is a genuine mix. Tourists staying at the Riverside Hotel discover it by accident, locals treat it as their regular, and the atmosphere is explicitly welcoming to LGBTQ+ guests and solo diners alike. Groups settle in comfortably, but the cozy size means it never feels impersonal. With a 4.6-star Google rating across more than 150 reviews, Golden Lyon holds its own against flashier Las Olas neighbors by doing the basics well: solid food, a full bar, and a casual vibe that does not try too hard.
