Organ Grinder, Lincoln

Modern bar housed in smallish square room with a limited amount of plain wooden furniture including a few booths mostly built from planks. These sit beside a bright mural but the place is otherwise plainly decorated, with the whole effect feeling a bit spartan (not helped by being almost empty when I stopped by). However, the barman was knowledgeable, and there is certainly an interesting range of draught and bottled / canned beers on offer here. In addition to the ten craft keg taps, there are six handpumps on the counter offering Milestone Cromwell best bitter, Brotherhood's hopped pale ale, a single-hop Ella from North Riding, a blonde from an unknown microbrewery and two ciders.

This is a small bar rather than a micropub as it has music playing and a TV, although the TV was switched off. Friendly staff and a good selection of ales meant that we called in twice during our 2 days in Lincoln. Murals on the walls and wooden bench tables and a couple of booths. They also serve real cider. As custodian says below it does echo a bit due to the lack of soft furnishings. We liked it though.
