The Victoria sits in Lincoln's Cathedral Quarter and is in the lee of the castle.
As the name says, it's a fine example of a Victorian boozer which hasn't been overly messed about with. Split into lounge and bar with a reasonable sized outside space with plenty of benches for alfresco quaffing, it's a welcoming place for a stop.
Beer offered on our visit was: Bateman's XB, Landlord, Mordue Workie Ticket, Castle Rock Harvest Pale, Leeds Jubilee IPA and Woodforde's Wherry. A fair selection for a Bateman's house and hats off to them for that. Everything we had was in top nick.
This would probably be my first port of call in Lincoln as it feels somehow more relaxed and less cramped than The Strugglers.

A very genuine and traditional local with a strong commitment to serving decent real ale.The interior retains a two room layout with a charming square shaped lounge with leather upholstered bench seating,it's own small counter,carpet and authentic atmosphere.The public bar is long and thin with it's bar half way along,again long bench seating along the left hand wall with wooden tables and stools.A vibrant and friendly crowd were in,lots of banter ,a real community boozer.I enjoyed my Mordue Workie Ticket and for a Bateman's pub there was only one of their brews on handpull,the rest were dedicated to guests,many award winning.Pork pies are £2,although untried by me.
A must visit when in Lincoln and a great double header with The Strugglers around the corner for ale fans.

A good traditional pub this one and well worth a visit. Six ales on our visit, three from Batemans, T Taylor Landlord, Pedigree and Bristol Beer Works Sunrise, which I relished. Also I enjoyed a very good pork pie for £2 with english mustard. Next visit am going to try their proper chip butty.

This is a great real ale pub with a wide selection of well kept beers lagers and ciders. They serve a good menu of delicious, traditional pub favourites, freshly prepared and well presented. There is a beer garden with a view of the castle posterngate. The pub hosts its own beer festival and has regular live music events. Situated a short stagger from the Strugglers Inn.
