Visited Nov 2024
A Mock Tudor frontage gives way to a long and fairly narrow interior, very busy, as you would expect on a Friday evening, which somewhat subdued my experience of the pub. To the rear is a long extended beer garden, but not really what I was looking for on a November night. My Batemans Dark Mild was decent.
The pub is ok but not great.

"A genuine drinking-type pub in the city centre, but it has room for improvement" wrote another reviewer on here three years ago, almost to the day. I reckon it has improved since then, with beer quality better and now five cask ales available (four Bateman's and a guest), and not in the sometimes questionable condition that I can recall from before Covid. Also the pub interior is smarter and not in the least grotty, and the customers are well behaved and pleasant - at least they were at around 6pm this Wednesday evening, but I can only speak as I find. This was always my first pub of the day when a group of pub crawlers used to join me on the train from Sheffield to Lincoln 20 years ago, and I reckon it's back to being as good now as it was then. (And there's no longer any need to wait for the level crossing barriers to be raised, since they built the lifts for pedestrians to get to the other side of the tracks when they've got a thirst on.)

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Treaty of Commerce
Refurbished Batemans pub, with light decoration and semi-modern furniture in both the front bar and rear lounge. Quite boisterous early on a Friday evening. XB, Gold, Dark M (£4.40) and XXXB on four of the five handpumps, along with Landlord as a guest.
