On the main road into Godalming on the corner of Hare Lane, this pub has been in operation for some 300 years and is renowned for its live music. There is one large bar with distinct areas: the bar itself and a lounge-type area which leads to the part where musicians usually perform. Doors at the back lead to a patio area with a large awning to protect smokers, thence to a good-sized garden with canopied seating. A glass panel exposes the workings of the hand pumps. Well-behaved dogs are welcome inside, as are families. A long-standing feature of the Three Lions is live music, with a band or soloist/duet performing some Fridays, when the pub is open until midnight, and every Saturday. Acoustic music on Sunday afternoon and a quiz is held on Wednesdays.

In 1891 it passed to Lascelles Tickner of Guildford, which was taken over by Friary, Holroyd and Healy’s (also of Guildford) in the 1920’s. Via further mergers ownership passed to Ind Coope, thence to Allied Lyons and Carlsberg Tetley. However a few years ago it was acquired by Shepherd Neame of Faversham.
