Carousel Bar in Lincoln

I have a serious allergy to fresh strawberries and we explained to staff and they were amazing at dealing with it and also putting our minds at rest of no risk! Brilliant to see an informed response to an allergy and staff going above and beyond for customers

Visited here booking the players package which included 3 drinks, £5 of tokens for the arcade games and 90 mins shuffleboard. Good shuffleboard tables and excellent cocktails. Had fun on arcade games too. Had a fun couple of hours for £27 each. Would visit again.

Popped in for lunch - delicious chicken burger- great value for money Drinks great too - better value than most of the nearby places Food arrived very quick Our server Luke was very lovely and gave great recommendations Toilets lovely and clean too

I do love it here. Great spot for a few drinks and a few games. Food has always been nice and we love the basketball hoops/photobooth/dance mat game! Great music on a Saturday night. Definitely pop by for a drink.

Brilliant place, so much to do there from food, drink and games. Plenty to choose from the cocktail menu, think I tried plenty of different one's while visiting and will definitely go again. Staff are friendly and chatty. We even had lunch and the food was beaut

So I have just came here for the first time ever for a spot of lunch, they do a deal where you get a sandwich/flatbread, fries and a pint for £7.95. I ordered the pulled beef ciabatta and a pint of lager. The food was absolutely delicious, it was so fresh and tasty and for less than £8 for a meal and a beer . . . That’s unbelievable and I strongly recommend you go. The pub was also spotless, good music on and the bar staff were friendly and welcoming . . . A*****

Excellent service, excellent food, excellent value! Always walked passed here before, I won’t be doing that again as it’s brilliant. The food was delicious and great portions. The staff were lovely, a real mix of people in here. Saw the terrace just before we left...

Visited with friends, the lady on the bar was so lovely and helpful. The deal for the flatbread and a drink is 100% worth it, innovative cocktails and large good food portions. Will be back soon!

Such a great place to go with work friend! Our bartender Ellis was fantastic, best bartender ever! 10/10

Out with friends on a weekend and we ventured into this bar. the bar staff really do have an attitude problem the service was terrible i will not be going here again and will warn my friends and family to avoid 2023 and the service...

We visited with friends last night after walking up to the bar and waiting to be served the two of the staff just completely ignoring me i asked if they were serving ? they carried on chatting so i asked again? They gave me a...

Booked a table as have been there before and the food is good itself. They had 2 barstaff members on Valentine’s Day which is worrying and with three people waiting took about 10 minutes to get two cocktails. After all this one of the cocktails...

Incredible service and super fun games. Love coming here with friends, even on a weekday ;). Lovely bar staff, would recommend to anyone

We were visiting Lincoln for the day whilst staying in a local village. We had just arrived to start exploring when our toddler with additional needs had a melt down, we quickly found the nearest bar to try and calm him down as he wouldn’t...

We popped in here for a coffee when we visited Lincoln. Looks like a really fun theme bar if you were on a night out having a few drinks. There is a darts and pool table area downstairs. Upstairs there are loads of games to...

Visited here last Saturday evening and enjoyed it. Place has a good atmosphere and theme and is nice and clean. Staff where polite and friendly and there was a good choice of drinks. We had pizza and chips and it was nice and the waiter...

We hadn’t booked ,just walked in and was made very welcome. We sat near the window and ordered cocktails and meals. A manager was sat behind us who said my daughter could have a free birthday meal even though there was just the 3 of...

On a Saturday, a really lovely gentleman happily took our booking for the evening whilst we were already out in Lincoln enjoying spending the Saturday with friends. We’d had a fantastic day at a number of bars, yet when we arrived for our booking at...

Please wait to be seated sign does not work in this place. You have to do everything yourselves. Not even a menu on our reserved table?! The service is just terrible. The odd person smiled, but others abrupt when asked simple questions regarding table service...

Two old guys looking for somewhere to have a beer and a bite to eat before going to a concert. Not very familiar with the city and not sure what to do, we stumbled across the bar, not knowing what to expect. The bar area...

Enjoyed a few outings at Carousel including Valentine's Day where we booked a table; interiors are majestic and other-worldly with a Victorian circus theme and rooftop smoking area. Arcade is a great laugh and gimmick, staff are friendly and helpful. I try to order the...

We decided to visit for a pre-dinner drink but didn’t have a great expectations because of its location in a very lively nightlife part of the town. However we were pleasantly surprised as it has a very attractive interior and a good atmosphere when we...

Tried to get in as people said it’s a different type of scene but I was told I looked ugly on my id which the ginger bouncer thought was an hilarious joke making us all feel uncomfortable , me and 8 friends happily went else...

Looked at menu, walked away, came back, looked again, came in - so glad we did. Ordered the choice on the back of the menu and we were not disappointed. My pulled brisket on a flatbread was absolutely delicious. Hubby and friend also ordered flatbreads...

Lovely large bar with lots of fab decor connecting it to funfairs. There's a gaming area upstairs with air hockey and the like. Staff all working hard to keep the area neat and clean.

Never been in a bar like this. Lovely decor. Amazing fun on the Quick Draw and arcades! Very friendly, attentive, polite staff! Nothing was too much trouble and the food was to die for. I’m not usually one for writing reviews but I thoroughly enjoyed...

We arrived at 8.55 & was given a warm welcome by Zac we asked if they were still doing food he said yes if we order by 9pm He quickly gave us a menu & waited for us to choose so he could order for...

We went here for a hen do last night! Food and drinks were lovely but Josh was just the best he had a great sense of humour was attentive he deserves a pay rise!! He was obviously busy and always had a smile on his...

Was a busy Saturday evening but the 8 of us managed to find a table and although it was due to be reserved the staff juggled things around so we could stay a couple of hours, was very much appreciated! Lots of different cocktails on...

We were looking for somewhere to stop for a quick meal whilst on a long journey. The restaurant was easy to get booked into and it was a great calm but lively atmosphere, will definitely visit again for drinking and night out when we’re next...

Made a group booking several weeks ago for a hen party. Arrived in good time and shown our table by a waiter whom was so friendly and nice (Like a breathe of fresh air) he took our drink order in good time, shame it took...

Great drinks, great atmosphere, great place to be and one hell of a good time. I can't wait to come back

Nope- Saturday afternoon and two staff behind the bar- we walked after one drink despite being ready to spend on food and entertainment. Not their fault at all but not geared up for a busy Saturday. Spent our money elsewhere.

Early on a Friday afternoon so pretty much empty, so we were really able to appreciate the very different themed decor and huge choice of booths and areas in which to sit. Table service via the website, which was easy to use and pretty efficient....

We popped in for a cocktail and to check out the food menu for dinner later on in the day. I had the worst porn star martini I have ever had in my life (and I’ve had a lot!) . The gluten free options for...

We were with a few and nobody has been here yet. It was busy, But everybody was easygoing, so no aggression. We initially ordered a few shots, while our table was prepared. We booked a table to eat, which was clean and ready on time....

One of the party with us passed out at the bar sone of our group went to aid to him they were shouted at and told not to touch him, once it was established that this was not drink related we were told to move...

I wouldn't go here if your thirsty. 20mins waiting at the bar to be ignored. Groups coming in and getting served before me. Barmaid knew I was there as she looked at me a few times so we left without getting a drink. Came after...

Came for a meal this evening 24th Jan 2022. Drinks very nice, although flat Prosecco with PS Martini, however this was changed immediately. Food ordered and came out in good time. Food basic but nice - it is what it is!. Waiting staff lovely and...

The drinks were poor quality and tasted weird and we were placed in a bad location despite the bar being empty. It has a weird vibe with kids running around everywhere which was disappointing as the idea behind the bar is cool. Plus side was...

Decided to try here for food after seeing the reviews for it, I wish we hadn't! When the food finally arrived 1 hour after ordering it tasted awful/greasy. We were then basically told we had 20 minutes to eat our food and move because the...

Came here as a walk in, unfortunately activities were booked up so do book ahead, however they do have an arcade upstairs which was really fun! Staff were really friendly and drinks were fun, food was tasty.

Had our works do here on 30th Nov. We were all really well looked after, so thanks to Mex, Brandon, Lilly, Nakaya, and Dan, who were all brilliant!

I didn't really enjoy it. Lots of talk about it, but i found the service slow and the food and drinks pricey. The games upstairs were ok. I think its probably best to go with friends rather than the wife

Very disappointed. I booked a table for visiting family and after looking on the website was very excited to show them Lincoln and this was a perfect venue for lunch. We were seated and initially a few issues with a table suitable for a highchair...

Had a lovely afternoon here whilst visiting our daughter at Lincoln Uni. The staff were attentive, friendly and enthusiastic. The cocktails were good (we used a couple of 2-4-1 vouchers) and we got some tokens for the games room upstairs which was fun. We ordered...

Went in on Saturday afternoon with a friend to get some lunch. We chose hot dogs, fries and slaw. The hot dogs were extremely salty, smothered in far too much mustard. The buns were hard. The fries were under cooked. The slaw was a mushy...

I went today with my partner and I was deeply disappointed. We’ve been before and it was good but today the drinks were poor, I think the syrup and gas had gone, the food was Luke warm on arrival, the servers were wearing masks half...

I ate here for a birthday gathering. We ordered in two family groups. My wife has a dairy intolerance so she has to be careful with what she eats. My wife’s meal did not match what we ordered then mine came out ten mins later...

I booked 10 of us in for a hen do and asked whether they needed me to come in beforehand to set up but they offered to do it all. I came in and they were just setting up and everyone we saw was absolutely...

Had lunch here today. Was expecting something good, but this was not to be. I ordered the chicken with piri piri sauce. When it was delivered it was hot and appeared over cooked. Overcooked was an understatement. It had been crucified. The meat was so...

Only found this by the off chance and have to say it’s amazing love the concept of the bar and the arcade games. Will definitely be back again

Went here for some food and drinks with a couple of friends. Staff were all friendly and polite. The menu was a little expensive and I'm pretty sure some of the cocktails were watered down but the presentation was good. The arcade was okay but...

This is the second time that I have ever been to the carousel, the first being in June this year. I remarked at the time of the prices and the drinks not really matching up to the photos in their marketing. The place itself is...

We were looking for somewhere for dinner and most places were booked up so tried here with some hesitancy. The food is fundamentally just burgers and pizza but very well done for the price and the salad that accompanied the burger was particularly good with...

Had a wonderful meal at Carousel for my teenage daughter's birthday. The food was really tasty. We also booked the shuffle board for an hour which I highly recommend, and then played some of the games up the stairs. A great few hours.

It was very lively, lit up nicely and the arcade is a nice touch. The bouncer at the door was really friendly and over all I had a good time. The only disappointment was the drinks. We ordered these £20 gin drinks that were topped...

I visited this in opening week and was really impressed with the fairground style unique cocktails, but feel like it's already gone downhill. Cocktails were described one way on the menu, but then were just served in a glass, so misleading. Also ordered 6 shots;...

When booking I had to pay a £15 booking fee - this is supposed to be refunded when attending but I've had no refund and was told no information on the night. After getting in touch with them I'm told unless I requested it on...

Soon as you walk in the place the atmosphere was lovely, got greeted by a lovely woman called Hannah. She was very bubbly and confident in what she does and she made you feel really at ease and just wanted you to enjoy your night...

Such a great place to visit, the decor is amazing and really fitting with the carousel theme. Although service was a little behind the staff did not stop and were really accommodating and the food was so good, highly recommend the baobuns. I can't wait...

We visited here for a drink and we were so glad we did! The staff were so lovely and kind. They were so helpful! The drinks were so nice and unique! I definitely will be back here for a cocktail.

I booked a table here for a Saturday afternoon for me and 3 friends. Ordering was all done via the QR code with table service. Service was slower than expected to be honest. The place wasn’t that busy and there were plenty of staff so...

We were out celebrating my friend's birthday and made the mistake of only booking for brunch. My friend's really wanted to try Carousel so we decided to at least try to get in without a booking. The staff were awesome and made a fuss of...

The upstairs arcade was great fun and the atmosphere was comfortable, however there were a few problems during my visit: The burger meal I ordered came with no salt, pepper, sauces, or even cutlery. I had to call another waiter over to find me some...

Staff very friendly and helpful. Our waitress, Jasmine, couldn't do enough for us and it really contributed to having a great evening. I wasn't personally a massive fan of the beef hotdog I had, but that's just my preference - my friend really enjoyed her...

Amazing service from the friendly and helpful waiting staff, really good food with not much of a wait and extremely good prices, well defonelty be returning

First time in Carousel since it opened a few weeks ago. Had a very enjoyable evening and something completely different that doesn't already exist in Lincoln. A couple of areas need improving, i.e. staff knowledge (member of staff had to ask if we were allowed...

Visited the bar as it’d recently opened. Poor experience from arriving, slow getting us in to our table that we had reserved, rude service from our waitress, our table was tiny and wouldn’t be big enough to hold our food and when we asked if...
