Imp & Angel, Lincoln

Micro-pub that is set back just far enough from the building line as to be rather inconspicuous, but otherwise much as you might expect... until, that is, you see the sports TV. Apart from that, it serves four cask ales, with a pair from Zest - Opal Fruits and Quench (£4.00) - along with Bruha's Cupshot Bitter and Life in Miniature from Welbeck Abbey. Also has a few more, fairly mainstream, keg beers from fonts on the counter and on the bar-back. However, not very welcoming I thought.

Not that easy to find if you’re on the same side of the road, it is a small frontage and partially behind a wall, look for the convenience store to its right. Inside is a small square room with a rear counter and toilet access. Outside on the left is a larger beer garden behind the afore mentioned wall. Four pulls, a triple T-bar and a keg solo, cask beers from Buxton, Abbeydale (Dr Morton’s) and Beermats, all in nice condition. Seating is converted pews at square modern tables with comfortable chairs. There is a big screen and it also sells spirits; sadly the default half pint glass is a jug.
