Visited Nov 2024.
An unexpectedly large pub internally, split into several areas and very busy early evening. A very good range of beers and Cider covering a total of twelve handpumps, my choice of Acorn Phantasm was in good nick.
Another top Lincoln pub.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Cardinals Hat
Multiple seating and dining areas (with one on a slightly raised level), stretching most of the way around the central servery. Semi-traditional furniture and decoration inside and some more modern tables outside. Eight cask ales, including Nightjar's Wallace & Comet (£2.25), together with four draught ciders from a total of 12 handpumps (an understandable improvement over my previous coronavirus-era visit).

Once you start wandering around this pub, you don't realise how big the place is especially when you take in the first floor space as well. The pub was busy on our Friday evening PG crawl and the service at the bar was fast and efficient. The staff here definitely know how to handle a pint of cask beer.
There was a very good selection of beers on both sides of the bar. I went for the Abbeydale Moonshine, which was in tip top condition.
