Who’s the best bar in Lincoln for proper cocktails and atmosphere?

Lincoln isn’t short of places to grab a drink. But if you’re looking for more than a pint in a plastic glass or cocktails that taste like liquid Haribo, The Tower is where you want to end up.

It’s not about gimmicks. It’s about doing the basics brilliantly, with a little swagger on the side.

Cocktails that don’t need an umbrella

The Tower’s cocktail list is a mix of the classics you actually want (Negronis, Old Fashioneds, Margaritas done right) and new seasonal serves that make the most of what’s fresh. They’re well-balanced, considered, and poured by people who actually care about what’s in your glass.

Proper pints, wine that makes sense

Not into cocktails? No problem, the beer is kept and poured with care, the wine list is tight and curated, and everything behind the bar is chosen because it deserves a place, not because someone sent a promo pack.

And the pints aren’t just pulled, they’re brewed. In collaboration with friends at Ossett Brewery, the ‘Rat & Dachshund’ hoppy amber ale was created, and you won’t find it anywhere else!

Atmosphere that sticks with you

Low lighting, thoughtful interiors, it’s a bar that feels stylish without the attitude, the sort of place you can bring a date, your mates, or your parents, and everyone feels like they belong.

The team behind the bar

Finn and the crew know their stuff, and they’ll steer you towards something new if you want to experiment, or pour your go-to perfectly every time. That balance of passion and ease is why so many regulars say it feels like their second living room, only with better drinks.

What people say

Why it matters

Because when you go out for drinks, you’re not just chasing alcohol. You’re chasing atmosphere, conversation, and a night that feels like it matters. The Tower delivers all three, every single time.
