点评:I’m glad we did this one coming down from the Victoria as the pub sits on a steep incline and, although I fully took the point of a fellow crawler that you are much more unlikely to kill yourself walking uphill, I personally still prefer to be descending on a crawl when gradients like the one the Joiners Arms sits on are involved.
Is it worth the effort to search this one out in the western back streets of Lincoln? Yes, it most definitely is.
A very traditional friendly back street local where you enter and climb a couple of steps into the main thin bar area with some high bar chairs and a flat screen tele on the far wall, in which is an entrance into a more public bar area housing a pool table, dart board and the toilets. The main lower room looks like it has had a post pandemic makeover in recent years and looks very different from the Feb 2020 google pictures and is now a very comfortable main saloon area with its fireplace comfortable chair and stool seating and for our visit decorated with some impressive carved pumpkin examples for the time of year.
Five of the seven handpumps were badged for our visit but with one reverse clipped, this left three ales alongside Lilly’s Mango Cider. The Ales were two from the birth child of the Weavers Real Ale House and Fownes Brewery amalgamation, Fownds Brewery (Keeper of Secrets Hoppy Pale Ale and Iron Tusk Mild) and Horncastle Wicked Blonde. I went for the mild and it was pleasant rather than spectacular but in good condition. What was a nice touch was that the price per pint was clearly displayed on the pump clips and all ales were either a very respectable £3.80 or £3.90.
As one of our party commented, a proper back street drinking pub with proper prices and well worth its current inclusion in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide.
翻译:我很高兴我们从维多利亚下来时做了这件事,因为这家酒吧坐落在一个陡峭的斜坡上,虽然我完全同意一位爬坡者的观点,即上坡时不太可能撞死自己,但我个人仍然更喜欢在像 Joiners Arms 这样的坡度上爬坡。值得在林肯西部的后街寻找这家酒吧吗?是的,绝对值得。这是一个非常传统友好的后街酒吧,您可以进入并爬上几级台阶进入主要的窄酒吧区,那里有一些高脚吧椅,远处的墙上有一台平板电视,从那里可以进入一个更公共的酒吧区,里面有台球桌、飞镖板和厕所。主楼下的房间看起来像是近年来在疫情后进行了改造,与 2020 年 2 月的谷歌图片非常不同,现在是一个非常舒适的主沙龙区,有壁炉、舒适的椅子和凳子座位,我们参观时,这里装饰着一些令人印象深刻的南瓜雕刻样品,适合这个季节。我们参观时,七个手动泵中有五个贴有徽章,但有一个反向夹扣,这样就剩下三瓶麦芽啤酒和 Lilly’s Mango Cider。这些麦芽啤酒是 Weavers Real Ale House 和 Fownes Brewery 合并后的产物,Fownds Brewery(Keeper of Secrets Hoppy Pale Ale 和 Iron Tusk Mild)和 Horncastle Wicked Blonde。我点了淡啤酒,味道不错,虽然不是很特别,但状态很好。一个不错的点是,每品脱的价格清楚地显示在泵夹上,所有麦芽啤酒的价格都非常可观,为 3.80 英镑或 3.90 英镑。正如我们其中一位评论的那样,这是一家正宗的后街酒吧,价格合理,非常值得被列入 CAMRA 的优质啤酒指南。
