Fancy a Nibble Close By
It's always good to know you're not staying far from tasty food and refreshing drinks! Here are a few suggestion based on the proximity.
Pubs
Royal William IV
Situated in central Lincoln, in the riverside north east corner of Brayford Pool is The Royal William IV, dating back over 170 years in an area with a history going back considerably longer. Traces of late Iron Age occupation dating from the 1st century BC were noted during excavations in 1972.
Today the Royal William IV is a traditional Lincolnshire pub with a great selection of beers & wines, serving classic pub food in a friendly atmosphere.
There is a large sitting area outside in the warmer months, right alongside the Brayford Pool.
Everyone is welcome.
Restaurants
Samba Brazil
At Samba Brazil they specialise in the famous churrascaria (BBQ) style of restaurant that is a favorite in Brazil for both Brazilians and visitors.
The idea started in Rio Grande do Sul the southern cattle state of Brazil where the Gaucho live and work. For a celebration meal they would cook (BBQ) many different cuts of meats on large skewers over an open fire and then carve the meat at the table.
Come and experience the Brazilian way here in Lincoln - you won't leave hungry!
Bars
The Electric
The Electric Bar offers an experience like no other in the city. Situated on the 5th floor with unsurpassed views of Lincoln and the Cathedral, you can experience a comfortable and modern bar among stunning surroundings.
The cocktail menu is famous in Lincoln - all the classics and many more. They have an extensive range of liquors and some beautiful champagnes to chose from. The Marco Pierre White restaurant is right along the corridor if you're feeling hungry.
Take the lift from within the hotel lobby, right to the top - you won't regret it...

History & Historic Attractions
International Bomber Command Centre
The IBCC opened to the public for the first time on the 30th January 2018. The site includes the UK's tallest War Memorial, The Spire, which stands out on Lincoln's skyline at 31.09m tall, the same height as the wingspan of a Lancaster Bomber.
The Spire is surrounded by curved walls which carry the names of 57,871 men and women who gave their lives whilst in the service of Bomber Command during WW2. The Spire is set in 10 acres of landscaped peace gardens, one which represents Lincolnshire's contribution to the war and one that recognizes the involvement of 62 nations in Bomber Command.
The Chadwick Centre provides all our visitor facilities and hosts three exhibition galleries covering our core themes of Recognition, Remembrance and Reconciliation. There is also an education suite and facilities for corporate hospitality.
Children's trails and craft sessions available. The site is free to visit but tickets are needed to gain access to the Exhibition.
