  “Decided to pop into this ‘off the beaten track’ pub with my wife on a visit to historic Lincoln at lunchtime between Christmas and New Year. The pub wasn’t busy and I asked the rather reserved barman for a pint of Guinness. He said they’d run out it so slightly disappointed but accepting it, I had a pint of John Smiths instead and we sat down. About ten minutes later, a group of what I presume were more frequent customers, as they appeared to be on first name terms with the barman, came in the pub and when one asked for a Guinness, I watched in amazement as the barman quite happily poured him one out. I couldn’t quite believe it! Now it may be the case that miraculously a delivery of Guinness was made in that ten minutes but I saw no evidence of this. We soon left however and I stared at the pint of Guinness and then the barman as we left, just to see if he could sense my annoyance. I don’t think he did. I thought about asking him but I couldn’t be bothered. I just put it down to it being a local’s local and not one for ‘tourists’ ☹️”

  “A proper no-frills local boozer with very friendly staff and locals. Four regular cask ales and two rotating ales. The beer was extremely well-kept and the glasses spotless. Super dog friendly and a great open fire. Well worth a (short) detour off the tourist trail.”

  “Just what the doctor ordered at 1130 on a cold March Saturday after an hours worth of ecclesiastical musings at the nearby cathedral. A friendly welcome, lovely pint & crisps (in date too, don't always take for granted 😆). Comfortable seating and just the right level of background noise to enable a private conversation to be had without whispering. I love boozers like this and long may this one prosper ❤”

  “Cosy "locals" pub situated on the edge of Lincoln's Cathedral Quarter. A good range of real ales and lagers are available, but sadly, there is no food, apart from the usual bar snacks.”

  “A lovely little gem of a place a short walk to the bail gate. Didn't have food, popped in for a drink in the newly refurbed garden, which was fab! Great view of the cathedral. Service was excellent!”

  “Another surprise find at the back side of the cathedral. The real ale, lager and gin selection was very varied. We were greeted and served by very friendly staff. The outside area was spacious, well set out with both undercover and sunny areas and the flowers/planting gave a Mediterranean feel. Although they weren't serving food whilst we were there you could bring/order your own to eat. We will definately return when next in Lincoln and would not hesitate to recommend it (wish we lived nearer it would be our local)!”

  “Decent pub. Was really busy Easter Sunday and the pints tasted great. Went in for a quick one today and it must have been the first as it tasted really dodgy, guess a one off. Not sure about the advertised "cathedral views", we couldn't see it he cathedral.”
