The Bull

Head out past the city centre towards Bracebridge Heath and you'll find yourself at The Bull, the kind of place where regulars actually outnumber tourists (which, let's be honest, isn't hard in Lincoln). It's got that comfortable, lived-in feel of a local that's been doing the same thing well for years—no pretence, just good beer, decent pub food, and enough space to actually have a conversation without shouting. The vibe shifts nicely depending on when you visit: quiet enough for a midweek pint, lively enough come the weekend when the families and sports fans roll in.
