The Lion & Crown — Restaurant in Addison

Do not bring a date here. If you go to the bathroom, multiple dudes often swarm your girl, like flies on **, trying in vain to steal her or talk trash about you. My dates always tell me it’s really creepy.

These same guys will, oddly, often be unwilling (afraid?) to approach attractive single women sitting by themselves.

Also, roofies are occasionally a problem here. Watch your drink. Have told several people who I believe one of the culprits is, so they’re watching him and he hasn’t been able to do it lately, but I still see him around occasionally.

I like a lot of the bartenders, which is a testament to Rob, the owner, hiring good people (love you, Rob ❤️). However, the blonde is moody and has attempted to scam me before. Watch out.

Since I called her out on it, she screams at me and my friends randomly across the bar when we’re just trying to avoid her, and she refuses to serve me or them, especially if they’re female. It’s really obnoxious, and, frankly, a little obsessive. A few of my female friends have just left because she made it so uncomfortable for them, a couple of them in tears. It’s not ok, and I don’t know why no one has done anything about this.

Try to work with one of the servers instead if you’re concerned about this kind of nonsense, or just go when she’s not working.

Rob’s a good guy, and if you catch him on one of the nights he’s working,...

I liked the atmosphere. Service was good, being able to rewatch the fight was awesome and surprisingly the food was really good for pub food! Place had a bunch of loud fun people as you'd expect in a bar although I was left disappointed folks. Not just because of the mma main fight. BUT! Because there was drinks I asked for that wasn't in stock. If the season is the reason why they dont have some drinks, do not advertise the drinks on the menu. At least switch out menus for actual seasonal drinks available. Not a big deal cause it wasn't so packed ALTHOUGH think about if it was packed. How long does it normally take to get ahold of a waiter frantically getting slammed by orders? Imagine finally getting a server to ask for a drink and wait 25 min for them to get back to say we dont have it and ask you what else you would like. So that didnt happen to me personally because it wasn't packed he came back at a reasonable time but I could imagine that happening on busier nights due to this menu and not separating non seasonal drinks with what's current. Servers were really friendly, beware though! You may be asked by strangers to answer random poll questions 🤣🤣 all in all everything was pretty good besides the menu for drinks. Oh and parking is a pain but that's a whole seperate entity and no way is...

If I could do zero stars I would. Our server (young woman with large pink bow in her hair) had friends who seemed to have issue with us hanging out on the large leather couch. While my husband went to the restroom her friends (a red head and a taller woman with brown hair) occupied his space and when he tried to come back they claimed he forcefully shoved them... which absolutely did not happen. I was literally sitting right there watching this unfold. Our sever and her male companions proceeded to scream at us ... I thought I was able calm her down and say hey, no problems with your service, your friends were just off putting. We went outside to get an uber home and the male companions mad dogged us and told us to never come back because the friends said my husband shoved them. Literally a lie. Hounded us until we walked a few blocks away. Threatened that we should never step foot there again. So just make sure you don't cross the waitress/bartender friends I guess. Music was actually good if you're into early 2000s hip hop, which made it more confusing that people were so aggressively...
