About The Electric Bar
The Electric Bar is a cocktail bar on Brayford Wharf N in Lincoln, run as a sky bar on the fifth floor of the Hilton with two balconies overlooking Brayford Marina. The drinks list centres on cocktails, with the Mojito and Mai Tai among the options. A bottomless brunch pairs gin, prosecco and cocktails. Sofas and seating areas fill the room, and the bar is small, so a wait is common when it gets busy. Coffee and afternoon tea are served during the day.

Customer Review Summary
Cocktails are the main draw, with reviewers praising an extensive list and singling out the Mojito and Mai Tai, plus an old fashioned that one diner found excellent at first. Close behind are the views over the Brayford waterfront from the balcony, especially at sunset and when the marina is lit up at night. Bottomless brunch earns its own praise, with diners describing proper food and premium drinks including gin and prosecco. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and quick, and one group praised a closing party set up with balloons, table cloths and fresh flowers. The caveats are about busy periods. One reviewer says cocktail detail slipped as the night filled up, with the old fashioned arriving without its burnt orange peel until asked, and that the staff rolled their eyes. Another describes a waitress with no greeting who claimed tables were reserved when they were not, until a friendlier waitress confirmed a sofa was free.

“Absolutely beautiful bar cocktail we're fantastic until it was getting more and more busier then the attention to detail was just not there in the cocktail. My husband had an old fashioned cocktail the first one was amazing then as the night went on their was no burnt orange peel or coating around the glass he had to ask for it but had eyes rolled as the staff were not impressed but if you're paying for it you should get it.”

“One waitress was so miserable, really made me think about not coming again and we tend to come every year for our anniversary . No greeting, saying tables were reserved when they weren’t so we couldn’t move. Luckily we asked a younger friendly waitress of the sofa was free for us to move on and it was. Not sure why the other waitress said that all other seating was booked.”

“We tried the bottomless brunch here last weekend and just loved it. There were five of us and we all ordered something different, every dish was delicious, not just “good for a deal” but proper food. The drinks choice really stood out too. Plenty of premium options including gin, prosecco and cocktails, so it felt like a real treat rather than a standard bottomless menu. Great atmosphere with modern decor and lovely views onto the wharf, perfect for a relaxed catch-up with friends. The wonderful Sean looked after us and was friendly, attentive and really welcoming throughout. Amazing value for money and such a fun afternoon. We’ll definitely be back for brunch and I highly recommend if you’re looking for a bottomless brunch that actually delivers.”

“My 3rd time here whilst staying in Lincoln for a short break. Nice views over the marina, particularly at night when everything is lit up. Friendly, efficient staff. Fabulous cocktails! Particularly the Mojito and Mai Tai. Special offers on 6 days a week (excludes Saturday). Highly recommend this bar for great cocktails in a more up- market ambience.”
