Went in this pub for he first time a few weeks ago and was amazed - how could I not have been in here despite having lived in Lincoln all my life?! Great watering hole that always has a few guest beers on - non of your Batemans rubbish, no, but Spitfire, Timothy Taylor Landlord, Bombardier etc. Also stocks Piper's posh crisps - better than greasy Walkers.

Landlord has had this pub for years and is an amazing chap who makes everyone feel welcome. Traditional pub that has a lounge to the left of the entrance and the bar to the right, the latter incorporating a floodlit dartboard. Customers made up of locals and a few students, with a lot of the latter now living in this part of God's Backyard. Pub could do with a lick of paint but these types are few and far between nowadays and should be cherished.

Overall, a nice pub - well worth a visit or three.

Just to add that on a recent visit I see that a rather tacky skylight at the back of the bar area has now been replaced and tha area renovated, and Voila! Yes, at last there is a nice bright light in the gents' WC! (Still no lock, though) All of which makes the place even better. Beers are largely as they were but the Spitfire was downgraded to a guest ale at the time of my visit.

My dear old local when I'm staying in the Lincoln area. Run by fantastic people and a great selection of real on tap which features a guest every month. Victor's comments are spot on, this is one of the most cosy pubs I think I've ever been to in my life and even when I leave Lincoln for good in 2 or so months I will return to this pub for years to come (and the city of course!)

KEYWORDS: Snug, homely and friendly.

A really excellent Free House in the West End of Lincoln. Real ales: Old Speckled Hen, Timothy Taylor's Landlord, Spitfire, John Smith's Smooth, Bombardier and (often) a guest ale. Run by the amiable Stewart and Mary Holmes. CAMRA recognised and proud of it. Occasional packed-out band nights, but (happily)no jukebox. Stewart's rightly proud of his new pub signs and you can try to discover Mary's connection with Adolf Hitler (yes, really, and it's not just that Stewart shares his birthday!).

Its foot or so thick stone walls contrast sharply with the brick terraced housing in the area (which celebrated its centenary a few years ago) and it is widely believed that it is a former farmhouse. Yet it does not appear on an OS map published at the start of the 1900s. Odd.

Downsides? Well, the gents' WC desperately needs a light and a lock, and a Residents Only parking scheme restricts parking during daytime. But it is worth it.

Darts and board games, but it's not really a games pub. Stewart's a mean chess player if you can challenge him during his rare time off.

To get there from anywhere by road, follow the Lincoln A46 bypass to the A57 junction. Then follow City Centre signs. Take the 2nd left when you reach the built up area after crossing the city's West Common (and former racetrack). This should put you in Moor Street and one of Stewart's flashy new pub signs is staring at you.
