The Green Dragon, Lincoln

This place is almost two pubs in one. Upstairs is a large wooden floored, low beamed room mainly set up with lounge chairs and dining tables. There are 4 handpumps on here serving Milestone & Cathedral (the onsite brewery) beers. It’s a nice enough place so we decided to eat here. I had lamb rump and the other half had a sirloin steak. Both were well cooked but the quality of the meat was very poor. Change your butcher guys, not impressed at all. Downstairs is the Waterside bar. Flag floors, low beams, barrels to sit around and a really cosy atmosphere. 12 handpumps on the bar here, 2 from Milestone, 2 from Cathedral and 8 ever changing guests. I had several pints here over 2 days and all were excellent. They have a wheel of fortune game during happy hour where you spin the wheel to find out the price you’re going to pay. Good fun. It’s a great little bar. So we have a great downstairs bar that’s at least an 8 and an upstairs lounge that sells overpriced poor quality food that should be a 5. I think I’ll stick with a 7 overall.

Recently re-opened after a major refurbishment. Good beer, good suroundings and what looks like a very good food menu - Real Ale bar by the waterside, large, comfortable main bar, and restaurant upstairs. Pleasant staff and a relaxed atmosphere.
