    Not to be missed
    THE best pub in Lincoln. CAMRA love this place & so do I! No better place to while away a sunny afternoon in the beer garden with some of the best ales that money can buy. Friendly staff & lovely atmosphere.

    Great pub great beer
    Visited the great pub on our night out in Lincoln. The selection of hand pumped beers is amazing, the decor is very special with all the beer mat on the walls. I would definitely go back and would highly recommend anyone visiting Lincoln and want a great selection of beers to visit.

    Outstanding
    This is a truly fabulous find. A real traditional pub with plenty of real ales. A friendly environment. Small but outside space. We had a fabulous evening and it was just two minutes away from our hotel The Tower hotel.

    All hail the ale
    A proper pub with proper beer. Cosy pub just outside of the castle walls, good selection of beers. Attracts locals and tourists by the look of it. If you like real ale and proper pubs have a walk up hill to it and rest up with a good beer 🍺

Proper boozer with a great atmosphere. Lots of different ales on which are obviously well looked after.
Be warned it is tiny so be prepared to stand, but definitely worth it.

Very crowded and when we had got halfway into the pub we were told that under 18’s were not allowed. That’s fine but the way we were told was not in a nice way

We were recommended to visit the Strugglers and we weren't disappointed, we managed to pop in for a pint on each of the three days that we spent in Lincoln. Great range of ales and such a nice atmosphere, a proper pub

Excellent selection of drinks especially real ales. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The ladies toilet was spotless. On a nice day there is a lovely rear garden. I didn't see any evidence of food.

Don't miss a visit to this pub in Lincoln.
Great atmosphere and friendly locals - but don't mention the cricket.
