Royal William IV, Lincoln

Visited Nov 2024 A pleasant looking pub on the exterior but modernised internally to its detriment, that said there was a decent range of beers on detailed below, I went for the Shiny Disco Balls, a beer I hadn't seen before or since. The pub is worth a look but by no means a destination pub.

I can’t recall any reason to contradict what’s already been written and can’t remember what I had, but my records show that I had ‘…an ok beer.’ at £1.80 a half.

On the edge of Brayford Pool ,with an interesting exterior but a modern interior which wraps around a central bar which is up a slope,with seating options in modern furniture and lots of exposed brickwork .Four handpumps drawing TTx Northern Monk Northern Rising Unity Stout,Ferry Aah-Wooo,Shiny Disco Balls and Tiny Rebel Carrie Blood Orange IPA (NBSS 3) .An interesting ale selection so might be worth including on a crawl but not the full package as a pub.

Waterside pub at the North East corner of Brayford Wharf. The interior appears to be focused around dining, whilst there it outdoor seating overlooking the water. Toilets are upstairs. 3 real ales were on - Timothy Taylor Boltmaker, Ferry Ales Intruder & Black Iris Endless Summer. A fourth handpull was clipped with Lilley's Somerset Scrumpy Dry. Craft beers included Brixton Reliance, Beavertown Neck Oil, Verdant Light Bulb & Shiny Lines. On my Saturday evening visit, the crowd inside was starting to thin out, with bar staff cleaning up. I wasn't too impressed when one barmaid sneezed into her hands and then failed to wash them afterwards. A pub in a popular location with an interesting range of beers. But there are many better pubs in Lincoln.
