This pub/bar has recently re-opened following a Covid-19 scare and deep clean. I'd deliberately left it until (almost) last, as it has late night opening until 12:30 on a Friday and Saturday night. Or at least it did have until Boris decided that Covid can only be caught after 9:30!
It's a simple one-roomed corner pub in a residential area, with an outdoor area at the rear. Service was friendly and whilst the ale range was disappointing (possibly due to its recent closure) - just Greene King IPA & Timothy Taylor Landlord, they did have 4 ciders - Weston's Old Rosie & Lilley's Mango Cider, Rhubarb Cider & Tropical Cider. So, I left feeling relatively content.

Another decent place. Inverted L-shaped room with bar to the left. Three hand pumped ales and two ciders, the rest keg. Another beer garden to rear.

The Vine has been reopened as The West End Tap with a more modern craft feel. Small, friendly corner pub in a smart but studenty suburb of Lincoln. I went in on a Friday night to find it pleasantly bustling. There were 5 cask ales on in top condition, including beer from Oakham, Thornbridge and the local Tom Woods brewery. There were also 4 craft keg beers available (at sensible prices!) including Beerd from London and Brooklyn brewery from. err.. Brooklyn. I think they managed to get the balance right between a traditional local's pub and a craft beer bar aimed at the students, both of whom seemed to be mingling happily. The bar staff were friendly. I have no idea if they do food.
Generally very impressed, a good addition to Lincoln's sometimes underwhelming pub scene.

The Vine is a small and decent looking corner pub that is well away from the city centre.
I went in a small room on the corner and this was very busy but sadly there were no real ales on the bar with the only bitter being fizzy John Smiths smooth so i had a Guinness.
This is a decent small pub that would be improved if there was a real ale on the bar.
