My Dad and I stopped in here for a late lunch after some sightseeing in the capital. Delighted we did! Food was fab. Staff are really friendly and very patient and the atmosphere is great! The menu is reasonably priced and generous portions. I will remember this place the next time I’m in Dublin

Dropped into the Lincoln last night, my first real night-out since this whole Covid nightmare receded.
With a gig happening around the corner in Trinity College the place was packed so that the clientele were happily spilling out onto the street.
Everybody was in a good mood as the service was extremely fast and friendly. The kitchen here pumps out food that looks brilliant on the plate and tastes as good as it looks.
Great bar service also.
Nice to see this place humming again after such a long slack period; when our whole social-entertainment industry had been forced into lock-down.

Looking for fish and chips and a bit of Irish experience. Could not have done better. The staff was great and welcomed us tired Americans. They promised great fish and chips and they were. The fish chowder..excellent. Soup of the day..excellent. The beer, even better. We came back the next day just for the pint and the warm welcome.

I wanted a genuine Irish pub experience before I left Dublin. I unfortunately only had 1 meal, and I chose this place. That's a lot of pressure.. but they surely did not disappoint!

I came in from the cold and rain to a warm environment made only warmer by the attentive and welcoming staff.

GET THE IRISH STEW. Before today I didn't understand what was so special about their stew. Now I know: the Soda Bread.

Soda bread and Irish stew are like PB&J, Ham & Cheese, Simon & Garfunkel, Thelma & Louise. They just work. There's no other explaining it.

I am so happy I can remember this place as my first (and hopefully not last) pub experience in Ireland.

Lincoln's Inn is just a must if you visit Dublin.

It is just behind the Trinity College and in front of the National Gallery Clare Street entrance.

Whether to have lunch (I've taken the traditional Irish Stew and it is delicious) or to have some drinks (there's always a cheerful and enjoyable atmosphere in and out), that's your very typical Irish bar willing to spend a nice time in.

I also reckon I can breathe its years of history. It is amazing to think that from I'm writing this review to you, James Joyce could have been writing some of his books.
