Widow Cullens Well, Lincolnback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Loved it... A Samuel Smiths traditional pub with great, really well priced beers in an amazing location... it's easy to miss, so keep your eye out.. mobiles, tablets are banned.. this is a real deal boozer... try the old brewery ale... to die for.., A few locals weren't so keen on this pub, but I enjoyed it...

I have passed this pub on several previous visits to Lincoln barely noticing it exists, however once entered, this place is a little gem.
It is a Sam Smiths pub, offering hand pulled Bitter and numerous others from their stable on electric pump. The prices, as usual with this brewery were very very good, especially when factored in to the building itself.
This is situated on the climb from Lincoln city centre to the castle and inside is bright and relaxed, all adding to a great atmoshere, with customers both of a mature age as well as plenty of students.
Upstairs has a great setting, with a large old beamed ceiling whilst the rear has a small viewing point where you can look down into an old well.
Great pub that will not be overlooked next time I visit.

You can easily pass by this pub as the front looks like another shop, and the sign is quite high up. Once inside it is furnished in a slightly clinical style which gives it an odd atmosphere. Upstairs lounge is pleasant but steep stairs make carrying drinks a mission! One thing that always makes me laugh in Sam Smiths pubs (this is not a criticism of this pub alone) is the 70's style taps and pumps on the bars. This gives the whole bar area a dated feel in my opinion. However beer quality ok and a pleasant fire in the winter months.

Good little pub. Staff perfectly OK and other customers chatty. Sam Smith's in excellent condition and well served (and unbelievably inexpensive). I appreciate the previous reviewer obviusly doesn't like Sam's beer, but it's ridiculous to say "automatically undrinkable"!

It's Sam Smiths, so automatically undrinkable.

Attractive, well furnished bar half way down Steep Hill. Excellent mating of old building with new rear drinking area. Certainly the cheapest pint in Lincoln (Sam Smith's OBB).
However, bar staff seriously need to improve their people skills. They've mastered offhand to hostile but haven't read the chapters on 'welcoming' or 'friendly'.
