The Joiners Arms was my favourite pub of the day in Lincolnshire. It's a backstreet local boozer with a cosy lounge area, as you enter and a more basic drinking area with a pool table.
I was impressed by the variety of the real ales and ciders here and the place was quiet enough to enjoy a relaxing drink, with friendly service.
Real ales were Magpie Cherry Raven, Kelchner Hat-Trick, Britt Brewery Blonde & Parkway Beaky Blinder. The two ciders were Lilley's Mango Cider & SeaCider Bakewell Tart.
Certainly one of Lincoln's better pubs.

As previously stated, this place is on two levels. Through the front door you find a room with a bar billiard table and a piano, both with tops on. Up a few steps to the bar on the right which had four hand pumps, the strongest of which was 5% ABV. The back room down the few steps again has a pool table, again with the top on. Not the worst place, I suppose, but not worth a return.

Had high hopes for this one, a terraced backstreet place a few minutes away from the throng of the city centre and GBG17 listed. Entered to find a pub that was either halfway through renovation (no signage though) or in a downward spiral of dilapidation. Split over two levels, with the upper bar having the football on and the larger, lower room with a completely naked floor stripped back to the concrete scree. A row of handpumps with just two on, Market Harborough Super Hop (good) and Milton (fine). Noted an unplayable bar billiards table. Despite it being full-swing festive season pubbing elsewhere in Lincoln, this place had one solitary customer and the atmosphere was…awkward. We drank-up quick and headed back to the B&B, bemoaning our final choice (we had earlier skipped the Cardinal because it looked too busy – oh the irony….).
