Olivares Tapas Bar

You'll find Olivares tucked away on Castle Hill, that steep cobbled stretch that locals either love or curse depending on their shoe choice. It's the sort of place that takes its Spanish food seriously without being pretentious about it—the kind where you can rock up in jeans and still feel like you're doing something proper. The room itself has that warm, unpretentious vibe; intimate enough that you're genuinely enjoying your surroundings rather than performing for Instagram. Order a selection of jamón, pan con tomate, patatas bravas and whatever's good that day, pair it with something from their Spanish wine list, and you've got yourself an evening that actually feels like a break from Lincoln's usual suspects.
