Latest reviews from Lincoln
| 74 /100 Strait And Narrow (Bar) 29-31 THE STRAIT “Understated, cool vibe, overall a pretty good drinking emporium. Fairly eclectic range of beers, pleasant staff and prices that weren't outrageous, what's not to like. Recommended.“ |
| 58 /100 Royal William IV (Restaurant) 1 BRAYFORD WHARF NORTH “Pub and Kitchen type place, four cask ales on, my pint of Purity Ubu was in decent nick. Tolerable for a quick pint if you find yourself venturing along the waterfront. Card only payment.“ |
| 72 /100 Joiners Arms, Lincoln (Bar) VICTORIA STEET, W PARADE “Been here a few times and hadn’t realised I’d never rather it. It’s a conundrum of a pub. Really a local place with tons of taps. Normally 3-4 of 10 have beer. Multi rooms. And slightly different level. It’s right next to the city and county council offices. And before the hill gets steep. Always new beers for me when I go.“ |
| 76 /100 Joiners Arms, Lincoln (Bar) VICTORIA STEET, W PARADE “Very nice and typical english pub with a surprisingly very good selection of real ales.“ |
| 56 /100 Super Lincs (Grocery Store) 116 HIGH STREET “As the other reviews say. It's a supermarket with a decent selection of Eastern European beers“ |
| 62 /100 Steep Hill Wines (Beer Store) 25 STEEP HILL “A wine shop with some local beers. Not a great selection but a few ticks and reasonable prices for the touristy location.“ |
| 52 /100 Ritz (JDW) (Bar) 143-147 HIGH STREET “Nice Spoons but the beer selection was limited to Doom bar, Abbot ale and Ruddles for some reason when I was here so disappointing to say the least. Only 1 Beer Mats beer was available“ |
| 60 /100 Tiny Tavern (Bar) 107 HIGH STREET “Small bar opened on Lincoln lower high street. Very much a traditional pub and in my visit frequented by a locals. On my visit of the 4 Hand Pumps , 3 were widely available local beers from welbeck abbey, pleasantry, and milestone. Fairly quiet on my visit but during the Coronavirus outbreak.“ |
| 52 /100 BRAYFORD WHARF NORTH “Rather large JDW nicely located downtown by the Brayford Pool. Two rows with cask ales, four in each. Very busy and noisy on a Thursday late afternoon. Decent salad bowl for food. Polite service. We preferred Ritz to this one when it comes to the spoons in Lincoln. (Visited with Finn 30.01.2020).“ |
| 54 /100 MailBox (Bar) 20 GUILDHALL STREET “A large open-plan room with a L-shaped, half-moon, long bar in the middle. Four had-pulled cask ales. Mostly fizzy stuff among the kegs. Rather loud resonance in the room. Food option. Polite service. Located downtown before climbing the Steep Hill. (Visited with Finn 30.01.2020).“ |
| 60 /100 Wig & Mitre (Bar) 32 STEEP HILL “Located almost at the end of the Steep Hill. Quite cozy place in brick and wood. Narrow entrance, but it opens up with different rooms to the rear. Three cask ales and a local one among the kegs. Polite service. (Visited with Finn on a pub crawl in Lincoln 30.01.2020).“ |
| 68 /100 Cardinals Hat (Bar) 268 HIGH STREET “A decent pub located in the middle part of the Steep Hill. Eight hand-pulled cask ales added by four ciders and craft beers among the kegs. Cozy library-like room to the left of the bar where we enjoyed well-kept ales, and shared a tasty platter with cheese and meat. Polite service. (Visited with Finn 30.01.2020).“ |
| 78 /100 BeerHeadZ Lincoln (Bar) 4 EASTGATE “Located almost in the shadow of the cathedral. Four-sided modern taproom, medium-sized, wooden interiors and colourful decorated. 10 craft beers on tap supported by bottles and cans, and a range of six HP ales. Third options. Friendly service from a barman who played the right kind of music at our stay A real pleasure to drink here to the sound of the Scottish band Deacon Blue. (Visited with Finn 30.01.2020).“ |
| 48 /100 Anchor (Bar) 133 HIGH STREET “Local boozer and spots bar located downtown, close to Ritz (JDW). L-shape bar with two cask ales and the usual fizzy stuff. Decent music from Blur and Oasis. Polite service. (Visited with Finn 30.01.2020).“ |
| 62 /100 Ritz (JDW) (Bar) 143-147 HIGH STREET “A regular JDW in a former cinema room, spread over different seating sections. A pleasant surprise to find four cask ales from Beermats Brewing Company. A decent traditional breakfast for £3.85, good value, indeed. Located downtown, not more than five minuets from the train station. Polite service. (Visited with Finn 30.01.2020).“ |
| 54 /100 BRAYFORD WHARF NORTH “Modern ´spoon wit a smaller than usual selection.“ |
| 66 /100 MailBox (Bar) 20 GUILDHALL STREET “Large pub in an old fashioned building. A bit noisy. Ok selection - but no local beers.“ |
| 60 /100 Wig & Mitre (Bar) 32 STEEP HILL “Ok place to find 1 or 2 unusual beers in Lincoln. Quite cozy“ |
| 72 /100 Cardinals Hat (Bar) 268 HIGH STREET “Good pub with an ok selection. 1 local beer - only. Good food as well.“ |
| 72 /100 BeerHeadZ Lincoln (Bar) 4 EASTGATE “Modern place in upper Lincoln. OK selection.“ |
| 62 /100 173 HIGH ST “Small, cozy pub. 5HP. Some kegs. 3 standard Batemans on.“ |
| 48 /100 Anchor (Bar) 133 HIGH STREET “Typical local pub with a not-so-good selection. No Poachers observed.“ |
| 56 /100 Ritz (JDW) (Bar) 143-147 HIGH STREET “Typical ´spoons.“ |
| 54 /100 Victoria (Batemans) (Bar) 6 UNION ROAD “This is a pleasant old Bateman's pub close to the castle. Lots of rooms to look through but we preferred the outside seating taking in the view. The beer range is pretty much Batemans plus nationally available beers, so little choice really. Not a beer hunters pub but probably the most traditional in Lincoln.“ |
| 66 /100 Strugglers Inn (Bar) 83 WESTGATE “This is a pleasant locals pub on the top end of town, just round the corner from the Victoria. Friendly enough although there was a bit of an aggressive Brexit conversation going on with some dodgy views. Old fashioned room set up but nothing wrong with that. It's well worth a look.“ |
| 80 /100 BeerHeadZ Lincoln (Bar) 4 EASTGATE “It was a good old climb up to get to this, on a side street away from the Cathedral area. There is a rugged modern feeling to it on entering, Industrial fittings and wooden benches. Plenty of choice on both cask and keg beers. Quiet on our visit but I'm told it gets busy at weekends and evenings. Well worth the effort.“ |
| 64 /100 Cardinals Hat (Bar) 268 HIGH STREET “Large modernised pub at the top end of High Street, just before the Strait. Nice pleasant atmosphere on our visit, quite foodie. There are a few options on the beer front to keep you interested. One of the better venues in Lincoln“ |
| 62 /100 Imp & Angel (Bar) 417 HIGH STREET “Nice update from the old Hop and Barley that closed. More modern feel. Still new and only a small beer selection. But 4 cask taps and 7 keg.“ |
| 68 /100 Cardinals Hat (Bar) 268 HIGH STREET “Late evening visit, Saturday 1st Dec 2018. The place was bouncing with customers, we managed to find a table and some seats upstairs; standing room only on the ground floor. Good choice of cask ales, might have been some unusual keg stuff but I didn't see any. Four new rates for me, all cask. Just too busy for me, but the staff were fine and coped well with the crowds.“ |
| 78 /100 BeerHeadZ Lincoln (Bar) 4 EASTGATE “Early evening visit, Saturday 1st Dec 2018. Nice vibe, open plan with a long table down the center and smaller ones along both walls, bar towards the rear. Interesting selection of both cask and keg lines; didn't check the fridge. Four new rates for me (all cask), would have been more, but I was on a Mission! Prices better than I expected, pleasant chap behind the bar, busy evening too.“ |
| 76 /100 Super Lincs (Grocery Store) 116 HIGH STREET “Good range of beers from Poland, Lithuania etc. Most are £1.20 a can (2018), but bottled beers too-not tried them. British beers expensive, but why buy them here?“ |
| 74 /100 173 HIGH ST “!9th-century pub with 1920s mock-Tudor frontage inserted by Ind Coope. Very friendly staff and well kept beers, especially Bateman's XXXB. Only doing filled rolls for food now (2018). Regulars plus travellers killing time before their train. Lovely garden, about to be seriously overlooked by new multi-storey development next door. Not used as much as it should, being so central. Closes early - 9:30ish.“ |
| 88 /100 Strait And Narrow (Bar) 29-31 THE STRAIT “Huge selection od beers, not really big place but crowded in the weekends. People that's workin there definietly knows what's they selling and are happy to help. Definietly worth to visit.“ |
| 64 /100 Lion & Snake (Marstons) (Bar) 79 BAILGATE “Mainly rating this place on beer. Marstons pub which is reflected in the beer selection fairly limited cask options and generic macros beers. Extensive food menu, not cordon bleu, traditional pub grub, but tasty enough. Cask pint I had was decent enough and appeared to be well kept.“ |
| 74 /100 Cardinals Hat (Bar) 268 HIGH STREET “Lincoln certainly isn't short of good beer destinations. While the Cardinal's Hat doesn't stand out in this city, it could easily be a destination in many areas. As it is, it's close enough to the Strait and Narrow and the Crafty Bottle that you'll probably want to pop in. There are a few good traditional beers and ciders. Keg isn't up to much, and neither is the printed bottle list, but they have a handful of absolute crackers announced on the chalkboard: Loka Polly, Anarchy, and the new Tynt Meadow beer. Reasonable prices. Friendly. Our little girl was welcome, but no dogs inside (there's a bit of seating outside in front, but then again it's summer).“ |
| 84 /100 Strait And Narrow (Bar) 29-31 THE STRAIT “Spacious, funky, friendly beer bar on the Strait. There are a few cask beers and quite a few keg which are all German and Belgian. So far nothing you can't get elsewhere. Then I looked at the eye-popping bottle/can menu. Mikkeller, Naparbier, the Wylam Northern Powerhouse beers, Siren, To Øl. Reasonable prices all in all. Worth visiting for sure.“ |
