Went to see a band but queued for 30 mins for a drink, no outside bar open. Never bothered for 2nd drink as wasn't queuing again for 20+ mins
Wonderful find, great atmosphere, lovely pint, friendly pub, great music 🍻👍
Great atmosphere in here, loved the decor and live music. We went in on a quieter wednesday evening and they still had the football on out the back and music going on inside. Nice to see the amount of effort put in for the regulars. Bet it's bouncing on a weekend. Get yourselves down for a pint or two. I'll certainly be back when next in the area.
Great music venue well done to the lads from the Sherlocks for taking on the pub and for doing what they've done with the place. It really embodies the music scene over the ages. Great quotes from iconic bands and musicians dotted around the place. The art work is really cool and we especially loved the Abbey Road corridor. As for the bar, the beer and drinks selection is great vast and will suit anyone's taste.
The team from The Victoria have completely hit a winner with their latest project at The Jolly Brewer. The refurb is without a doubt one of the best and most transformational I am yet to see. I have a feeling that they might serve Camden here (the pics will show you what I mean). I popped in on Jam Night (Wednesday's from 7ish) and the place was packed. An electric atmosphere with (obviously) live music. They have an amazing beer and spirit selection... Rattler ciders on tap (the only place in Lincoln) Camden (IPA, Lager AND Stout), among others, all the Whitley Neill gins, decent vodka selection, loads of Dead Man's Fingers and other rums and a decent selection of whiskeys too. Prices are very reasonable too. I can't wait for my next visit.
