Accolade awarded: the Strait & Narrow has a strong offering across the site

Nestled in the heart of Lincoln, just before Steep Hill, you’ll find the city’s best drinks offering at the Strait and Narrow, winner of Best City and Urban pub in this year’s Great British Pub Awards.

A lot of time and dedication has gone into the menu for this site with some 140 beers available, with all availabilities updated on live screens across the bar’s three seating areas, an extensive wine menu and almost every spirit you can imagine.

The cocktails are where the creativity really shines with all staff contributing their talents to a standout menu.

Pub design

The main bar sits in the largest of the three areas with several beer taps lit up serving continental and name brand beers.

The fridges in the back bar are packed to the brim with cans from across the globe and above you can find the spirts shelves stacked with all the favourites along with some rarer bottles.

The mid-section is the beer museum which sees rare and unusual bottles caged behind the raised seating area which leads to the third and final room of the bar, decorated like an original gentleman’s club with vintage inspired décor.

All rooms are connected with the pub’s very own internal phoneline so you can dial throughout the venue and chat to different tables, adding a unique element to this pub.

Responsible retailing

Local suppliers are highlighted and championed by providing unique bar snacks and cocktail garnishes.

The safety of guests and staff is championed at the Strait and Narrow with strong relationships with local universities and movements to ensure everyone is responsible and supported.

Hip hop nights, menu launches and bar takeovers take place throughout the year, all with their own unique Strait and Narrow twist.

Service is outstanding at this site with all staff well versed in the plethora of drinks available, you’re in trusted hands when tackling the beer, wine, or cocktail menus.
