Queen In The West, Lincoln

With time to squeeze in just one more Lincoln pub before retiring my hotel (I won't be able to do this again for the next 6 months), I ventured to the pub furthest west on my hitlist in Lincoln. This is another friendly, corner community pub in the back streets. Despite it being almost 11pm, the two rooms were busy and it was good to see a predominantly younger crowd in what is a fairly traditional boozer. The two regular ales are Wells Bombardier & Timothy Taylor Landlord. Guests were Hopback Summer Lightning & Titanic Plum Porter. My Plum Porter rounded off the evening nicely. Table service from the female bar staff was with a smile. US Open golf was showing on the TVs. There was an outdoor yard at the rear, which also appeared to be busy.

Main room to the right as you enter. Three or four hand pumps with a couple of TVs showing cricket. Beer garden to the rear and also a room to the left which I didn't see when coming in. Not a bad place.

The Queen in the West is situated in the back streets of the Carholme area of Lincoln. When we first did this pub it was one of two Wards tied houses in Lincoln,we had a very nice drink of Wards bitter. This is quite a nice looking stone built pub which is very rare in Lincoln. Once inside the pub is now quite smart with an L shaped room with the bar facing,no Wards beers anymore,but there are three real ales on the bar,Taylor Landlord,Doom Bar and one from Milestone.
