| Like many of the pubs that I used to frequent when I worked in the area, the Lincoln barely resembles any of my old memories of the place. The old Lincoln Arms name may still be depicted in the ironwork over the old entrance but the Lounge for Arms replacement in the name pretty much sums up what has happened to this and a large percentage of the traditional pubs in Kings Cross. The old basic boozer that I remember now has the oh so familiar sofa and coffee table wine bar type setting that is beginning to overtake the pub world. That said, this is one of the more endearing efforts and whilst I wouldn’t come here by choice, I wouldn’t necessarily steer away from it either. The interior is fairly small and has a certain quirky randomness about it. The rear courtyard with its large pub mural has been integrated into the pub so it is a bit larger than it once was and there are still remnants of the original features although for the most part they appear to be obscured by tables and bookcases. Candles are a big thing; big ones, small ones, long ones, wax encrusted bottled ones, enough to keep Swan Vesta in business for years. Not really much on the beer front. Upmarket lagers and just 1 ale - Bombardier on both hand pumps although more reasonably priced than some of its more upmarket neigbours. Most of the Kings Cross pubs that I knew has now disappeared beyond recognition but, despite the changes, this is one that I would revisit, albeit at a push. RogerB - 19 Sep 2009 09:30 |
| Super little place well away from any tourists, service was exemplary which is so refreshing in central london. Can be a bit cramped on busy nights, sofas are not the greatest use of space which adds to the problem but overspilll onto the street helps (Until the council puts a stop to drinking outdoors). Excellent graffiti in the loos, obviously some local resentment to their new neighbours from the Guardian newspaper.. very funny! ! halfbee - 3 Jun 2009 09:25 |
| Dropped in here for a couple of pints after work recently. It's always appeared to be (very) quiet when I've passed at lunchtimes bit it sure livens up around 5. Good pint of Bombardier and plenty of atmosphere. Friendly bar staff too. I'm not a great sofa fan but there's adequate standing room to compensate. Worthy of another visit I think. sussexred - 18 Mar 2009 15:18 |
| Outstanding service at the bar, warm and competent staff. Good range of beers and comfy sofas available at the back. It's mystery how this place hasn't been ruined over the last few years. danrkelly - 2 Mar 2009 17:27 |
| Never noticed this place before, although I must have walked past it a few times... However, once inside, I found an interesting bar with attentive service (and how rare is that in this part of London?). I guess that most customers are regulars, but the room had a friendly atmosphere for the casual visitor. Decent pint of Bombardier too. rpadam - 15 Feb 2008 21:37 |
