STACK Lincoln

Walk up the High Street past the cathedral towards the castle, and STACK pulls you in with that confident bar energy—exposed brick, decent lighting, staff who know their way around a spirit. You're surrounded by people who've come for actual cocktails rather than just a quick pint, though that's fine too. The drinks aren't overthinking themselves; they're just well-made. It's the sort of spot where you might start with one and suddenly it's 10pm and you've made friends with someone at the bar.
