Vice & Co

You'll find Vice & Co tucked away on Corporation Street in the heart of Lincoln's city centre, and it's the kind of place that rewards actually paying attention to what you're ordering. The bar staff take their craft seriously—expect classic cocktails mixed with precision rather than showiness, and if you're the type to ask questions, they'll engage properly rather than roll their eyes. It's got enough character to feel like somewhere locals choose deliberately, without the pretention that can strangle smaller cocktail bars. The room itself strikes a good balance between intimate and lively depending on the night, and the drinks list won't confuse you into submission.
