White Horse, Lincoln

This is a detached corner pub and music venue with rear patio area. It is an a mock-17th century style, being of two storeys, predominantly of brick with stone string-course, window sills and lintels. It has several front facing gables. The interior is in effect a single open plan room around a central island bar, now it has been knocked into one. The music was general and quiet, while the Reggae band were setting up in the corner of the more bar area. The decor is one of exposed brick and a fakey thick layer of yellow plaster in parts, which gives a broken look, with a mix of a stone flag and red tile floor and a yellow 'stained' ceiling look with cream cornice. General tables populate with red perimeter seating and stools. The walls have music pictures on them for interest. There is a dart board. There is a TV, but this wasn't on at my visit. The service was fine and there were a mixed group of locals and music people in. Beer; usual tap stuff with Spekky Hen, Ruddles COunty, Hobgoblin, Castle Rock Harvest Pale Ale and Caledonain Flying Scotsman, which was decent. A really good real ale pub. We heard the music later, when passing again and it sounded lively - would like to see a band here. In GBG and deserves it - try it!
