About The Victoria

The Victoria is a pub at 6 Union Rd in Lincoln, with a beer garden that faces the Lincoln Castle walls and sits beside the castle itself. Inside, the pub is split into three separate areas, one of which holds a dart board. The bar serves a range of cask beers alongside other drinks, and a live musician plays at the pub. Dogs are welcome. The Lawn and the cathedral are both close by.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the outdoor seating facing Lincoln Castle, a beer garden with views of the castle walls that several say suits busy days and a walk up the steep hill. Close behind is the beer, described as a good range of cask drinks and a great selection, with live music mentioned by a couple of reviewers. Staff and locals are repeatedly called friendly, and one visitor says the team went above and beyond for a husband recently out of hospital. Inside, the pub is described as old school and traditional, with a dart board area and seating split into three areas. The main caveat is the decor: one reviewer calls it a bit run down, with missing flights on the darts. Food gets little comment, as several say they never tried it, though one praises the meal. Reviewers who stopped in for a single beer after the castle say they would come back.

    “I was out exploring the castle and everything close to it. I just so happened to walk past this place, as every other place nearby looked too full. I did find The Victoria very nice, though I didn't stay for more than one beer. The staff seemed polite and effective. The beer selection looked great and prices were really fine as well. The place had a nice outdoor are for the busier days. If I ever come back to Lincoln, I'll make sure to come back here.”

    “Great for drinks, never eaten here so not sure if they do food hence no ranking for that part.”
  • Solitaire
    “Visited here as was at the castle nearby for a festival. The venue was very busy (inside & out) due to the festival going on and a nice atmosphere. There is a large outside seating area and inside is split into 3 different area's. There was a nice range of cask drinks on and the service was quick.”
