The Victoria sits under the gaze of Lincoln Castle’s stone walls, so the picnic tables that run along the length of the pub are in a nice spot for some outside drinking. Inside the pub there’s a small room in the front left that is served by the end of the bar counter, one of the two hand pumps was in operation drawing Bateman’s XXXB. The main bar area is in the right hand side of the pub where the serving counter runs up the left-hand side. Premium and craft keg was available and an additional six hand pumps were drawing TT Boltmaker and Landlord, Bateman’s XB, Gold and Jewel in the Crown and St Austell’s Tribute. Along the front windows is a thin strip of seating and more seating is found at the rear where live music equipment is also found. I found the service to be polite and the other customers seemed nice enough. It’s good to see this place open again after a period of closure.

I always liked the Victoria when a group of us used to come out on the train from Sheffield every year or two, but a few years without a trip left me a little gob-smacked at the deterioration in the pub's condition. The leatherette on the benches has worn through and there's a bit of a smell, of changing rooms and dogs, perhaps. The young lass who served us was friendly and welcoming. There was no Batemans XXXB on, but one of my companions had the XB and I went for the Salem Porter, which was really good. There were a couple of guests too, but I forgot to make a note. There are some benches outside, with a temporary covering, which has no doubt helped the pub survive the Covid restrictions, but someone needs to really pull their thumb out before this really nice old pub goes down the pan. (Beer quality and service just about justify my 5, otherwise it would have been a 3.)

Still a great pub. Friendly staff and punters, great ale and a neat interior.

Two roomed pub with a small snug to the left as you enter with a few settles and tables. Straight ahead is the main room which is long and narrow with the bar on the left. There’s a large outside drinking area directly under the walls of the castle. This used to be a Tynemill house, but is now owned by Batemans. They still sell the Castle Rock Harvest Pale though on one of their 10 handpumps over the 2 rooms. Other regular beers are Batemans XB and Timothy Taylor Landlord alongside a range of changing guests. Both pints I had were excellent, I’ve been coming in here for years whenever I’ve been in Lincoln and the beer has always been top notch. They also sell good value quality food, including hand cut chunky chips, none of your frozen chip rubbish here. The best pub at the top end of Lincoln.
