We begin with one of Lincoln’s much-loved pubs. The Strugglers Inn is very much a ‘proper’ pub as the sign outside suggests, situated uphill on Westgate, right next to the castle walls. You can expect a lively atmosphere, a warm welcome, and one of the city’s best selections of cask ales. Don’t just take our word for it… The Strugglers has been rec...
The Victoria is another gem among uphill Lincoln’s traditional real ale pubs, situated by the castle’s west gate just a stone’s throw away from the Strugglers. A pint in each is a fitting way to experience the city’s real ale scene after a visit to the cathedral and castle! You can’t miss the pub’s big red sign emblazoned on the whitewashed side of...
This place is one of our personal favourites, and very often our starting point if we’re having a bit of a night on the town. The Cardinal’s Hat is set in a Grade II listed Tudor building, quite spectacular to behold, especially on a clear sunny day with the cathedral tower peeking over the hill in the background. The pub’s name derives from Cardin...
The Birdcage Pub & Kitchen is located a little outside the city centre, about ten minutes’ walk to the east. In many ways this place represents the realLincoln, away from the uphill tourist epicentre. No pretentiousness in sight, just great real ales, lovely home-cooked food at some of the best prices in town, open fires, and a warm, friendly vibe....
Another of Bateman’s Lincoln pubs, The Treaty of Commerce occupies one of the most recognisable buildings to the south of the city centre on the High Street. Just around the corner from the train station, it’s perfect for a cheeky pint after arriving in town, or before leaving. And you may find you want to stay a little longer! From the outside you...
The Witch & Wardrobe is a classic local pub at the very heart of Lincoln city centre. It has a pretty waterside location just off the High Street. Like several of the pubs we highlight here, it is set in a historic building with that black-and-white-beamed exterior that characterises so much of the city’s medieval architecture. The building dates b...
The Morning Star is one of Lincoln’s lesser-known real ale pubs. Despite being close to historic Bailgate and many of the uphill city attractions, it’s a little off the beaten tourist path and somewhat of an undiscovered gem. We highly recommend dropping in for lunch and a pint! This is very much a traditional real ale pub, serving four regular hou...
There is some dispute over which pub can lay claim to be the oldest in Lincoln. The Adam & Eve Tavern perhaps has the strongest case, as featured in our guide to things to do in Lincoln. Believed to have been opened in 1701, the pub stands opposite the ruins of Pottergate Arch on the east of the city centre, and has welcomed customers for over thre...
Slap-bang on the middle of Bailgate and under the shadow of the mighty Lincoln Cathedral, few pubs enjoy a better location than The Lion and Snake. It is a large pub with an airy, modern interior and a spacious beer garden. The central setting brings in a lot of customers, with the garden typically packed out on summery days. This is another pub wi...
One of Lincoln’s newest pubs, The Tiny Tavern, first opened its doors with terribly unfortunate timing in March 2020, less than a week before we went into a national lockdown. But the team behind it didn’t give up, and made use of its rear beer garden to get business moving again in the summer. Read our story to find out more about how this micropu...
