Great pub just outside the city centre. Up to six real ales on. Found this place by accident when on an exploratory pub crawl. Worth looking for (its just up the road towards the Cathedral from the Green Dragon).

I've lived in Lincoln for 11 years, but never got around to visiting this pub until recently. It's always been on the list. Glad I did. Good town pub with atmposphere and character. Real ale is good quality and it's in the Good Beer Guide. A proper pub. Ale is locally sourced in some cases and I have to say it is very well kept. Worth a visit.

Eclectic music-led pub on the main thoroughfare on the edge of the City Centre. it's one basic, traditionally-furnished, opened out room but is brimming with character, from the corridor (mentioned below) and fire to the friendliness of the staff and locals. Table football is at the back, always fun.
A good beer choice- Landlord, Young's Bitter and 2 guests, Young's Bitter in good form. Excellent jukebox.
A great all-round place- you know the type, not specially traditional but the character makes up for that. One to return to.

In every town or city there’s always one pub that attracts a really eclectic range of customers, this is Lincolns. Leather jackets, beanie hats, piercings, tattoos, dreadlocks and well dressed middle aged couples (plus two superheroes last Saturday, honest) they’re all here and all made equally welcome. One large floorboarded room with an unusual drinking corridor to the right. A real fire in the main room and an impressive variety of things on the wall. I especially like the cartoon drawings of all the staff over the fireplace. 6 handpumped beers on offer, TT Landlord plus changing guests. The pints I had were fine. They also have four, yes four, real ciders available. It’s not a pub for the faint hearted as it’s pretty raucous in a friendly sort of way, but it’s well worth a visit.

Art deco theme running through the pub with a strange seperate corridoor seating area seperates the main room- looks like it used to be the exterior wall and still has windows in. Large rear courtyard. Good varying live music (on sat nights), easy alternative atmosphere. Lots of facial hair and Tats! Beer has been good on weekends. Taylors Landlord and two guests from local micros.

Further to my earlier comment - I have been in a couple of times a few weeks apart since and the beer was very good. So big well done to the Jolly Brewer. I am pleased to say that I will not be fearing my next visit.

Have refrained from posting soc landlady is a friend of a friend.
Good comments first:
Good atmosphere, good music (especially open mic night) and good friendly staff.
Bad comment (but unfortunately the most important)
The beer (real ale) is consistently very very bad. At its best, it is dull and lifeless. At its second best, it is dull lifeless and off (tastes yeasty) at its worst, it does not bare mentioning. The amount of times I have had a good pint in here you can count on one finger. If they sort this out and keep a good pint it will be a good pub but what is the main reason for going to a pub if you are a real ale drinker?

Definitely back on its feet after being the pits a few years ago, but not the place to take your Gran for a sherry.

Back on the map! Loud in a nice way, good beer and a gothish crowd.

The new landlady has realy turned this place around. Excellent beer, good food, top staff and live music every week! The acoustic sessions on a wednesday are well worth a visit:-) p.s she's right, the landlady is well fit!

Great pub, large beer garden, the new management are really starting to return this pub into the relaxed, cool place it was when I first strted drinking in Lincoln (1993) - good food, good beer, great vibe. If you used to drink at "The Falcon" you'll feel at home :-)

Sadly they turned the art school building into a hairdressing and beauty college in 2003 so the clientelle have mostly pissed off, so little ale of any note.
John is not the happiest landlord in the world, thats his business though

A quirky, art-deco beauty of a small pub with an extensive beer garden. In the winter its cosy and in the summer the garden is packed. A delightful pub.
