  “Me and some friends were visiting Lincoln for a weekend and found this little gem just off the beaten track. The real ale was great and seemed to be changing all the time. Always a good sign. We ended up coming here for the Friday and The Saturday and were were very well looked after by the landlady and her husband. The locals were really friendly as well. A proper pub. Would recommend if you are ever in Lincoln.”

  “I was in June 26 for the very first time in UK on a roadtrip trough England and Wales. Every night another city and sometimes multiple Pubs. There was no single place, I felt more welcomed. The owner was very friendly, I had the chance to get to known to his lovely woman and a every single guest was incredible kind. This evening felt like exactly the reason why I came to UK. The fantastic people of "Hanging Johnny" made my night. Live singing in a traditional style. Whenever I come back even close to Lincoln, I will make sure to visit this place again. Thank you so much for this fantastic heart-warming evening and having me. ❤️”

  “Wonderful pub. I luckily walked into this pub on a Sunday evening just after 8. A folk song was being sung on full flow by the customers; a real cross section of people: men and women, young and old. I sat down at the bar and had a golden beer from the handpumps; it was lovely. Then later, a bitter came on and this was too notch. I was also welcomed by the landlady and engaged in conversation to find out about the singing; who, why, when... it was a regular thing about once a month, and then was offered a sandwich from some freshly prepared on plate on the bar. I noticed they were dotted around the pub and it turns out that was another facet of the song nights; a little snack for the singers and their supporters. Other staff and customers spoke to me. The songs were entertaining and the atmosphere brilliant, all washed down with well looked-after ale. A fabulous evening.”

  “I have been coming to the Joiners Arms for 4 years now, and it is honestly my favourite place in the whole of Lincoln. I am autistic and have other diagnoses too, which can make going out, being in busy places or meeting new people really difficult and overwhelming for me. But here, I have always felt 100% safe, understood and completely welcome from the very first day. The Landlord and Landlady are absolutely amazing people. They, and all their bar staff, have been exceptionally helpful, kind and patient with me every single time I visit. They take the time to get to know me, they understand how I am, and they know exactly how to make me feel comfortable — whether that’s keeping things calm, knowing exactly what I want, or just being there if I need a bit of extra support. They never make me feel different or awkward, just like one of the family.”

  “Had a few pints here early afternoon so not really busy. Great well kept beer. Traditional pub, no frills, just what you want. Landlady was very attentive and very kind. Many thanks for the glass. Got to be the best drinking pub in Lincoln. Defo visit again. Cheers”

  “I came on a business trip for training, but whilst out walking, I spotted a rather lovely-looking building just a short distance from the bustling area and popped in – what a unique experience! The shop owner welcomed me warmly, and the local residents visiting here made me feel so welcome to join in! The little concert was absolutely brilliant! Everyone's voices were so beautiful. Next time, I'll prepare a song to sing too! Thank you for giving me such a wonderful experience despite my limited English. I'd love to visit again!”

  “Can't believe I've failed to leave a review over the past few years! The Joiners is a wonderful pub. The landlord rotates the ales often, keeps the lines clean, and supports a lot of smaller breweries, so you'll often be able to try something new to you when popping in. The atmosphere is great, the regulars are friendly, and there's always a fire on when it gets cold. I've had countless laughs and great conversations, watched football, played bar billiards, and pet cats. Will be returning every time I'm in town for the rest of my days.”
