Reviews of Carousel Bar Lincoln

A. S.

Unique venue with a good selection of alcoholic drinks, particularly the cocktails, and fairly decent food. Moderately priced for most things, but a touch on the high side for others. Would also be good if they had a bit more selection of non-alcoholic drinks/cocktails for the designated drivers/non drinkers. The upstairs area is equipped with a range of arcade machines, most of which are designed for two player competition. Evening times are rather busy, especially at weekends so booking for experiences and tables is advised.

m. s.

Amazing restaurant, the food is fresh and so good. Been twice this week once at night and another during the day and both times the staff have been very helpful and polite. Dri ks are very well priced and as I said the food is to the highest standard. I got the brisket flatbread today and it was spot on. Big portions too.

E. S.

Amazing food and drinks, great atmosphere and upstairs in the arcade and games area there is something for everyone. Well worth a visit

E. T.

Loved this place so much. Staff great, food incredible. So accommodating when I wanted something weird. Great games, fab drinks. We loved it so much that we're coming back to Lincoln for this place specifically!

R. M.

Went here one evening after the theatre and was welcomed in by the door staff. Got a smile from all staff inside and the bar staff were super helpful and knowledgeable when I was asking about different gins. The atmosphere was great and it wasn't crazy busy so could actually move. I love the interior of the bar and there is plenty of seating. Definitely be returning here.

K. C.

Fantastic service. From messaging to actually going inside staff were very helpful and friendly. Nothing was an issue, easy going and felt really welcomed. We played in the arcade whilst waiting for food, tye games were fun to keep you occupied. Our food was served very quickly and all looked fabulous 👌 tasty and worth every penny, oh and huge portions for lunch! Even given a twisty cup so we could take our drink away with us at no extra cost. Now that's how you do service! Such a hidden gem on a street with endless options of the same old thing. We we will definitely go back when we visit Steep Hill again and 100% recommend trying if you haven't already.

S. N.

Great cocktails, and amusements. Food available with a varied menu. Only let down was there wasn't as many rides as 1st thought.

M. B.

Uniquely decorated food pub. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable but not intrusive. The food was both well cooked and tasty and the menu whilst shorter than some was comprehensive. Altogether a good meal out at a fair price.

D. O.

Nice bar, sometimes have to wait a fair while for a drink, and had to take them back as they were made wrong. Fun games upstairs, but second bar not open and empty drinks everywhere. 2nd air hockey table not working which meant a long wait for the 1 table. But overall a fun night out.

A. C.

Spent a lovely afternoon with family in this unique place. We all loved playing interactive darts and shuffleboard. Was something different for the school holidays. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

S. D.

Lovely food, very tasty and good presentation, staff friendly and helpful, would go back, feeling full.

D. L.

I can't walk past this place on a nite out. I always manage at least one in the carousel. Lovely young attentive staff and although the music in tye main part of the bar is a bit on the loud side for a mid 40s guy i do enjoy the terrace with the heated lamps . For the younger at heart they have a great selection of arcade games on the upper floor . Great way to catch up with friends and also make new ones. I would highly recommend you try it out.

C. S.

Really good food! Friendly staff and good atmosphere.

S. Y.

Nice place, reasonable priced cocktails, toilets smell grim. For a Thurs night pretty good atmosphere.

T. J.

Excellent bar great cocktails very friendly staff and lots of games upstairs, also dog friendly, Perfect

K. C.

Lovely food and the arcade was a nice treat after the food it finnished off the night

D. N.

A good selection of drinks to choose from and a varied food menu. Pleasant and helpful staff in a clean and friendly environment.

D. C.

Starter was lovely (humous and flatbread), main was good (hot dog). Service with a smile and pretty fast and on the nail. Discovered this place pre-covid. Just as good now. Will be back!

C. L.

Great beer,friendly staff . Upstairs has great games for all ages.Only thing missing is a pool table.

G. R.

Enjoyed the arcade games and darts over some drinks. Great staff and good to see a bar with something different in Lincoln!

P. K.

Good food and drink but very pricey compared to other places in town. It is a good experience with the arcade at the top and unique décor.

B. S.

First time eating here, for lunch meal. Having Chicken Sizzler flat bread, chips & slaw. It was nice, flavoursome & somewhat filling, the slaw was dry (no mayo in it), nice crispy fries (plus for me!) 😀 Staff member was friendly when ordering, having brief talk of weekend's busyness, reasons for it & the consequences! 🤣 I'd return again soon, trying something else! Thank you

P. P.

A good fun atmosphere and very smiley staff. Was waiting at the door, not for long and a manager came over to see if we were okay. A nice touch. The games were good but had to deduct a start as when I hit 10 on the dart board it didn't count...

C. T.

Food was okay. The duck pizza was pretty lackluster. Chips were nice, hot dog was nothing special but nice overall. Door staff were pretty uninviting. Probably wouldnt bother with this place again for food.

v. t.

nice drinks, nice food, good atmosphere and a fun arcade. not a fan of how long drinks are left waiting on the side whilst what I assume are managers/supervisors just stand around or walk past them. drinks are also left in a place where anybody can walk to, not really the brightest idea with all of the spiking that's been going on.

R. F.

Wow what a place! We only went for a quick bite of food but the atmosphere was very lively for midweek. The food was absolutely fantastic and portions were large! The cocktails looked ace but as we were both driving we couldn't try. Will definitely be back

R. B.

Amazing venue with lovely atmosphere, plenty of fun games, incredible food and drink and reasonably priced. Hannah really made our experience, she was friendly and welcoming and nothing was ever too much trouble, couldn’t thank her enough. Will definitely be back a third time!

H. S.

Very cool venue, our server Hannah was incredible, so friendly and helpful Such a cool atmosphere even early on tuesday evening. Only issue was that 5 out of the 15 cocktails could not be made, and they forgot our tokens that we bought with the first round, but not the end of the world as the cocktails we’ve had so far have been great Maybe slightly understaffed as it took a while to get someones attention to notify of the missing tokens but again not much else can be done from the staff front. Great experience so far

E. T.

Good food, fun vibe. Friendly staff too.

L. C.

Very different from places we usually eat at. But very pleasant and quirky

B. R.

Such a great quirky bar , lovely cocktails really nice 👌 definitely be back when next visit Lincoln

M. C.

Great concept and very good food, fairly priced too. We had a meal with friends earlier this week and were all impressed with the quality of the food. The burger was probably the best I've had this side of the Atlantic, yes - that good. Superb quality, properly seasoned and perfectly grilled. Generous portion of fries too, unlike TGIs across the road. We did have to ask three times for cutlery for dessert though, which is just waiting 101 and shouldn't happen. Having the games at the back and the upper floor is also a great idea. I was expecting a few more games than they had upstairs, which caused a bit of a wait but I'm sure they'll add more in time. The only two points I have could be improved upon are: Firstly, the table for six (table 11) just wasn't big enough. We were in an alcove opposite the bar and whilst the benches were big enough, the table was about a foot too short for us really. For two of us at the end, we had to sit diagonally towards the table corner which isn't comfortable in truth. And lastly, the dessert plates were like saucers and tapas bowl sizes. There was nothing wrong with the portion size but putting pancakes on a saucer and then getting the ice cream in a separate metal cup was just strange and you couldn't put the ice cream onto the pancakes even if you wanted to as there was literally no room. It would be nice to see larger plates used. Other than that, it was a great experience and we will definitely be back.

V. B.

Came here today with my husband for a child free day! What can I say it has been fabulous... Hannah was absolutely brilliant she made our afternoon. Her fun personality and her service was second to none! Highly recommended... thank you so much Hannah! You made our afternoon... see you again soon xxx

A. K.

Nice venue with kind and friendly staff. The menu was very cut down, the food was tasty and well cooked. Maybe a little basic but I suspect Covid and other economic issues mean they cannot offer the range and depth they once did.

T. W.

Great night. We came for a stag do and the staff made every effort to make it great under the covid circumstances. The shooting experience was great fun and wide range of drinks available. Highly recommend for any stag, hen, work or large party. We can't wait to come back when restrictions lift.

R. L.

Fantastic pub food, great portion size. We came for lunch today randomly, the staff serving were lovely and very helpful. The food was amazing and came very quickly. There is an arcade upstairs for the children to spend your cash in, though it does keep them entertained. Overall a great find on our day trip to Lincoln.

A. F.

Such a fun atmosphere and lots of tasty cocktails to try there is also an amazing arcade style area upstairs and can also book experiences in the back downstairs area. Great place to visit for some fun and some drinks. I would 100% recommend going for an evening

J. F.

What an amazing venue! Cocktails were quirky and delicious, food was served very quickly and service was great. We played in the arcade and on the darts experience after dinner and could have stayed all night. Will be returning again very soon!

P. B.

It was fine. Very overrated bar though.

D. W.

Awesome! Always a little put off by some of the pubs/bars in this side of town but this place was a delight. Food was delicious, drinks were served promptly, staff super friendly and accommodating. I’ll be back!

T. C.

Seemed like a really nice place and good atmosphere and wasn't that badly priced.

J. G.

Love this place as lots going on to entertain. Very overpriced tho and that's not just me saying it. Lots of people I know say the same. Cocktail I had was lush. Love the place but just wish the prices were lower or offers on or something. Laid out beautifly. Wish I could visit more often if not as expensive.

W. S.

Was pondering for a while to go to this place and boy I'm glad I did. Best food ever from a restaurant. I had the beef brisket, my wife had a cheese burger and my son had the the biggest hot dog he could manage. My beef brisket was like oh wow this is incredible. So if you going to Lincoln give this a try you will not be disappointed.

C. D.

The atmosphere is mixed as you have parents with kids to enjoy the arcades and others only there to take advantage of the cheap (if pretty lacklustre) booze. The games and arcade are the standouts as they pack two shuffleboards but I just feel the place doesn't know what it wants to be.

D.

Really pretty, quirky venue. We came for cocktails and burgers and it was delicious. Our visit was during the Lincoln christmas Market so it was quite busy but they accepted us as a walk-in which was nice (frankie and benny across the road and a 2 hour wait!) There's an arcade and I think activities you can also do here but we just came for food. Really friendly staff and warm atmosphere.

K. J.

Very busy so food was slow and came out in stages, we got our first lot of fries long before the rest of our food. Good menu but the actual food wasn't great - the second lot of fries were cold and the bbq sauce had gone dry by the time it got to us. The staff were lovely and apologetic.

R. M.

Never been in here before but it was good...music, bar, great atmosphere and good company. Nice staff and polite doorman.

A. L.

Great place, Arcades upstairs, beers downstairs.. Really like this bar.

F. A.

Staff were great and the table service was a nice touch food was amazing and the drinks went down a treat also recommend visiting the retro arcade games up stairs cant believe i hadnt visited sooner.

J. C.

A real treat. Visited on a Sunday, had a real fun vibe. The good menu was well priced and food delicious. Service was prompt and attentive. Sat in the terrace to enjoy the last bits of summer. Worth visiting.

Z. C.

Tried this bar when it opened with some friends and had a great time. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere and games are great and the fairground cocktails taste good and look amazing. Can’t wait to go back and try the darts board. Would highly recommend anyone to visit Carousel when you’re in Lincoln.

K. H.

It was okay...nothing really fancy. The food was okay but limited menu with only really pizza or burgers. Not very exclusive for people like myself who have a food allergy. The cocktails were good but rarely came with the 'trimminings' on the menu. The fact there was an automatic service charge added we thought was out of order especially as the service wasn't that great. When trying to speak the the waitress who was front out house I'm guessing questions we were greeted with rolled eyes and could see she didn't want to answer even though we had politely asked. The games were okay not really cleaned or sanitised between people. Overall it was okay. There are better places in lincoln

G. M.

A different atmosphere to add to Lincoln, offers a really fancy range of cocktails and an upstairs arcade section. Our server Josh was really accommodating and lovely to deal with! Would definitely recommend :)

J. R.

Really nice venue and good food and drinks!

R. P.

Great bar! Great cocktails at good prices. We didn't eat here and the portion sizes looked a little small. Will definitely be back though

A. B.

Nice place. Decor is amazing. Small arcade on first floor. Darts and shuffle board as well. Fairground/arcade theme is really good.

D. O.

Good, attentive staff, good atmosphere, top pint

D. R.

The level of detail that's gone into the place is impressive. Interior design, bar, and the selection of arcade games is really great. Would be great to see a better quality of drinks though. The cocktails tasted weak, food menu is limited for vg/ve and gf options, and the music was pretty middle of the road. Would have been cool to have a DJ. All things that can come with time though, I'm sure. Well done on bringing something different to Lincoln 👍

S. z.

It's good and the games are fun and its well decorated. However we got seated on a table that was a thin board attached to a brick wall in a corner. Also its the only bar in lincoln ive seen that adds a service charge on top of the drinks prices. Just remove that table and remove the service charge (just change the prices if they're too low) would be better.

L. F.

What a great place, bright and lively. Food was tasty pub food, my friend said the brisket burger was to die for and the cocktails were reasonably priced and delicious will be going back again

T. S.

Great place. Food and drinks were delicious and s reasonable price. Go upstairs with purchased tokens to have fun on the arcade games . would def go again.

E. B.
