Lincoln Jazz Cafe in Lincoln

We went for the jazz evening! It’s a lovely atmosphere - I’ll go back next time I’m in Lincoln!

Cool little bar, great music and decent cocktails at reasonable prices

Just moved to Lincoln, came here for the first time for a rum tasting session. Host was incredible and we learned so much The staff overall were a good laugh and very attentive Very highly recommend <3

We came for cocktails. The pina colada was to die for. Lovely place with friendly staff. Give it a try if you are about. It’s worth it!!!!

Always good musicians play here.

Big fan of this cocktail bar, nice atmosphere for a couples night and the guys behind the bar really know their stuff. A few times I’ve asked for cocktails not on the menu and they’ve always delivered. Would recommend!

Love this place. We went on a Friday evening and it was busy with live music. Excellent service amazing drinks. Very welcoming staff. Highly recommend. It's our go to place after dinner

We are regular visitors to this amazing little Jem, always a great time, warm welcome from the owners and staff. Lincoln Jazz Cafe is a small venue where you can get the best cocktails in town and their live music events are fabulous, only 30 seats so you book tickets for most of the live performances, we love it x

A great evening out if you fancy something a but different. The cocktails and mixologist were excellent and the live singer was fantastic the premises were quirky and beautifully done. We will definitely be coming back. Best evening we’ve had in a longtime

We'd been promising ourselves to go try the Jazz club here in Lincoln for a while but hadn't made it until last night. It was really good in every respect, from a wide interesting cocktail list through to the service. We had to sit outside in a quiet sheltered little area with good quality chairs and tables but someone was there to give us the list then take our orders very efficiently. My wife had a very boozy rum and coconut concoction called a Bugle Called Rag, with a top quality rum, I ordered a premium Reposado margarita but unfortunately got a standard margs...it was delicious nonetheless, and when we mentioned it to the lady who took the order they brought me a Reposado version with just a small additional charge (they'd charged for the standard margs). The guest singer last night was also very good singing some great jazz classics. A great hour or so!! We'll be back!

Cocktails are exceptional! Service is brilliant. Music is wonderful. They really know their stuff here!

A true diamond in the rough of Lincoln, this place is an amazing way to both start or finish your night. The service and friendliness from the staff who have such a passion for their job is impeccable. I cannot recommend enough to try drinks you haven’t tried before or ask the staff what they’d recommend as the flavours and combinations they have come up with themselves are endlessly refreshing.

A great venue, to listen to fabulous acts, wonderful atmosphere, great service, just an all good place

Have been coming here for almost a year now and it’s perfect service every single time! It remains the best place I’ve ever been for cocktails and the live music on Sundays is fantastic. Great quality for really good value for money, and the staff are always super welcoming and accommodating. Great place for a casual drink or for a celebration!

Awesome drinks, awesome staff, nothing more to say

Cute little place. Staff always makes you feel welcome and are very friendly. Very good wine selection!

This place did not live up to the hype. Music output was disappointing with too much bass. Rather surprised that one of the vaunted house cocktails was not available. The cocktails we did have were OK. Not a place we would rush back to.

Fabulous evening, great live music, huge food platter, wonderful wine, and the beat company 😀

Lovely people, with awesome cocktails. The bar man was very attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend for drinks with friends or a nice drink with your partner. Highly recommend.

Absolutely lovely little place. Super service and fantastic cocktails

Oh, what a delightful surprise! We showed up expecting a lively night of LIVE Jazz, but guess what? Not a single live note to be heard. The staff were absolutely lovely, though. Make sure to double-check before you go, because Saturday night turned out to be more silent than swinging. The venue is quaint, with a handful of instruments artistically nailed to the wall and some speakers that might have been playing jazz—at least we think so, but the volume was so low it was like a game of guess-the-tune. On the bright side, the drinks selection was impressive, and the cozy environment almost made up for the lack of live music.

Really cozy jazz bar. Only ordered drinks but they were amazing. Cocktails and mocktails available. Good range of wines to. Lovely atmosphere. Top night out!

Lovely spot for a drink. Atmosphere is chilled and cocktails taste amazing. Hopefully will attend an event soon!

We visited the jazz cafe last week for my birthday and had a great time. The antipasti platter was good and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back soon.

First time I have tried Jazz Cafe and was not disappointed. Great ambience and live jazz band. Staff were excellent and service was quick. Well done.

Great place to go for live music.cosy,friendly venue,great cocktails and warm welclme

Wonderful atmospheric bar. Amazing drinks menu, lovely staff and terrific music

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Great place to relax,chat and have great cocktails

Popped into Lincoln Jazz Cafe for a drink, ended up on an art tour! The place is like a gallery with a bar. Those outdoor murals? Wow. And with the drinks flowing like art auctions, no wonder the vibes are so good. A real masterpiece of a spot!

Great evening and music, as always! We enjoy trying new cocktails as well as our favourites. Fortunately there are plenty to choose from.

Just discovered Lincoln Jazz Cafe's wine list and it's a dream! I'm not a fan of cocktails, I hear they are very good, but with over 30 wines by the glass, I've even tried orange wine. Finally, my go-to spot for exploring amazing wines!

Joyful Sunday lunch at Lincoln Jazz Cafe. First view of singer Lily Lovejoy who was a tour de force - a remarkable singing voice matched by a remarkable range of songs. Brilliant!

This place is so special it is a credit to the city of Lincoln. The moment you walk in you can feel the relaxed atmosphere and subtle jazz music playing in the background. The cocktails are truly the best I’ve ever had and I can honestly say I’ve had a few. The owner is truly a wizard of mixing spirits and his knowledge is second to none you can often find the owner working his magic and teaching younger generations in the art of mixology. The customer service is amazing and you’re made to feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door . I happened to find this place on my first visit to Lincoln and I have returned every year since. Thanks for a wonderful experience I applaud you sir 👏👏👏

Simply the best bar in Lincoln possibly England. Best cocktails atmosphere service. Just go and chill, drink and relax the perfect location to get away from it all and a real hidden gem. The owner who has been there every time I have visited is a master of mixology and is happy to chat when he gats a second away from making drinks bravo 👏 sir and thank you so much 😊

What a lovely place! Really nice atmosphere, great service and the wine menu is impressive! Will definitely be going back!

The Lincoln Jazz Cafe is a lovely little venue tucked away in central Lincoln. The atmosphere is classy and cool, with a sophisticated and relaxed vibe. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the cocktails are delicious. The venue also hosts live music nights, which adds to the overall experience. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Went to see a band here last week. What a fantastic little gem of a place! Great atmosphere, great staff and a great selection of cocktails. Will definitely be back.

Didn’t have food but drinks were spot on, Ben was very knowledgeable and helpful. Staff were great. Nice atmosphere would definitely recommend 👍

I went to the Jazz cafe last night and had a fantastic time. The atmosphere was great and the staff were very friendly. The cocktails were amazing and the live music was brilliant. I will definitely be going back again soon!

Went to a fabulous live evening which was in such a lovely intimate atmosphere with amazing jazz combo. Not usually a cocktail drinker but were amazing with lovely service. Will be going again such a chill and great night

Excellent cocktails and fantastic service.

Made me an off-menu Vieux Carré and nailed it, great service and atmosphere. If you're after proper cocktails this is the place!

Little Gem in LincolnI absolutely loved my visit to this little gem. The staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful. The decor was sumptuous with a cosy atmosphere. The live Jazz music was amazing and the local talent who played were phenomenally talented. I would definitely recommend visiting especially for the live music.

I love Jazz, and this little club was a perfect fit for me. The bartender was great, makes an amazing Old Fashoned! I will be coming back... I hope to catch one of their live shows while I'm here.

Really amazing cocktails all produced by creative, highly skilled mixologists. We wanted to try something new so went for the ‘smoke and mirrors’ and ‘herbolist’ which were totally divine. There was also an extensive wine list and good selection of ales so we will definitely be back. This place is a fantastic find.

Best Espresso Martini I’ve ever had. Drank here before and had wine and it was great. First time we tried a cocktail and…wow

Nestled in the heart of Lincoln, the jazz club is a hidden gem that transcends expectations. From the moment you step inside, the rich atmosphere envelopes you in a world of musical enchantment. Shaun, the masterful mixologist, crafts libations that are nothing short of artistry, with the Majulah Singapura being the epitome of perfection. The musical journey curated at this establishment sets an unparalleled scene, transporting you to a realm where jazz is not just heard but felt. The synergy between patrons and staff creates an ambiance that elevates the entire experience. It's not merely a club; it's a harmonious blend of soulful tunes, expertly crafted cocktails, and a community of music enthusiasts. Each note played is a testament to the club's commitment to providing an extraordinary musical escape. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or a casual listener, this venue promises an unforgettable night. The Lincoln jazz club isn't just a place—it's a symphony of excellence that resonates long after the music fades.

Just called in for cocktails whilst visiting Lincoln Great find will certainly return

Best mixologists in Lincolnshire! The cocktails are great and the staff so accommodating. Live music is on point and the intimate atmosphere is uniquely amazing.

Something different! Nice little cocktail bar even though I don't drink them! Hospitality is great!

Nice. Table service high end drinks. Nice.

Lovely small place, great selection of everything, though I would like to go when they have live music on!

Great afternoon listening to live jazz xx

Great service, even better selection of wines for quaffing or savouring. 100% will be going back.

We booked in for the cocktail master class for my dad’s 65th birthday (plus some sharing platters) and had a truly wonderful time. The staff were lovely and attentive, the drinks were good (and they were happy to adjust to our tastes) and the food platters were plenty. We had a great time, thank you for a lovely birthday celebration xx

What a great selection of cocktails and brilliantly eclectic jukebox. Loved that there were seasonal specials, too, though I'll miss them when they're gone I'm sure the next batch will bring new favourites :-)

This is a lovely little venue tucked away in central Lincoln that has a classy and cool feel to it. A HUGE selection of cocktails and drinks, a very interesting drinks menu and a mixologist who is happy to make suggestions and recommendations. I booked a table with some colleagues and we spent a lovely few hours here chatting away whilst trying some good old classics, and some more esoteric cocktails.

We visited the jazz cafe for an evening to see the Hugh Pascal trio. They were fabulous musicians and surprisingly never played before. The atmosphere at the café was cool with great service.

Wife and I popped in for a quick cocktail or two as we were passing by and liked the look of the place. Very smart inside. The gentleman serving was friendly and professional. He made us some lovely top end cocktails. It seemed to be popular and I daresay it will have regular repeat customers. -probably as the place was clean and comfortable with a nice soundtrack and good atmosphere.We will definitely go back when we are in town.

Didn't have food but if it is as good as the cocktails, service and ambiance, I'm sure it will be amazing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a nice chilled atmosphere, great drinks and equally great service. A1

Went tonight with my partner after not going for a year or so. It was such a welcoming evening. It was as quiet, atmospheric and hospitable as I remember. It really is a gem of a place in Lincoln, reasonably priced with high quality, gorgeous cocktails. The selection classic, unique and lovingly made. The staff (tonight was the owner) are friendly, chatty and excellent hosts. I really had a lovely evening. As someone who doesn't like clubs all that much, the Jazz Café is a perfect alternative for a well spent evening. Thank you for a memorable night!

My partner and I were looking for a good cocktail and a chilled atmosphere, we found exactly what we were looking for here. Best cocktails we’ve had for a while, both the Herbology and the Big Enchilada were fantastic. Interesting blend of tastes, not sugary, very sophisticated. Highly recommended!

Great experience and a really nice place to spend time with friends

Nice place with good staff, just off the waterside area. We enjoyed the cocktail happy hour sitting outside.

Great Happy Hour Drinks, Fantastic Cocktails, Well Presented and Chilled Environment. Great to have somewhere to go in Lincoln that is taking pride in its service of high quality drinks.

Came for a live music band on Sunday evening. It was great fun! The band (2 pieces of the 6 piece big easy) were ace and the service was excellent. Thoroughly recommend and will be back!

Lovely place great service. Loved the atmosphere and music

We were the only ones there but the cocktails were great!

We went to see the Tommy Cooper Show on the 19th July. A lovely little place & the cocktails are delicious.

Incredible cocktails, amazing service and nice atmosphere. Came here with a group on a sunny day, sat outside and were greeted by a very friendly waiter. We were informed of happy hour (2 cocktails for £12) and the cocktails were delicious. The waiter was very attentive in making sure we made the most of the happy hour offer. Lovely to sit back and listen to some jazz.

Great service and cocktails really friendly bar staff my you feel welcomed and valued as a customer

A jewel of a find during a recent weekend in Lincoln. A place for grown ups.

Lovely little venue with superb cocktails

Had a lovely evening listening to Charlotte Porter singing Jazz,Jive and Swing music. Fantastic cocktails and great bar staff. Really glad we found this place and will definitely be back.

Great night watching live music. Small venue with fantastic staff. Drinks service every 30 minutes, so music is not interrupted. Booking is needed.

Loved this place.The 2 guys very friendly and chatty. Brill cocktails.

We have just had the pleasure of listening to Miss Charlotte Porter in an intimate gig, in an excellent bar with excellent staff. Honestly, what an absolutely wonderful place. We'll worth a visit.

Well made cocktails and 2 for £12 Nice

A couple of days ago I had found where Lincoln Jazz Cafe located. Time for a visit. I slipped down an alley off the High Street. I come out at Lincoln Jazz Cafe. A couple of days ago I had found where it was located. I found open. Tables and chairs outside I walked inside, pleasant ambience, jazz quietly playing, a warm welcome. Was I there for the Wine Club? If I was, 30% off wine tonight. For a glass or bottle I did not inquire was thinking of an espresso martini. I was offered a Negroni. I settled on a Negroni. I can make a Negroni . This was different , a floral aroma. I inquired. It was the way the orange was expressed. I should have paid greater attention. I did though notice thin peel off the orange. I cut a wheel cut in half, run around the rim, drop into the cocktail. I had been invited to an open evening the following night. I was a day early Occasional live jazz. One of the few places I would recommend in Lincoln for a cocktail.

Small, but packed with great staff, great cocktails and absolutely fabulous music. Without doubt, this bar is our go to in Lincoln.

Cosy and friendly hang out. Great music nights.

Great place, great atmosphere. W will be returning. Just wish they had antipasti to go with the bottles of wine.

Absolute find- not that well known- intimate, friendly, top quality - cocktails are amazing- freshly made and delicious. The cocktail hour is fab value- what a way to spend your afternoon. ❤️ Highly recommended mixologists in a relaxed atmosphere. Perfect.

immaculate vibes, 10/10 bartender and owner also 10/10

Brilliant drinks, great staff and outstanding atmosphere. Can't recommend more!!!

Love it, just wish it had a bit more space

This is a great venue for cocktails and they have a really good wine list. You can order food in advance btw. The team are really ‘on it’ friendly and helpful. We went to the live jazz on Sunday 9th April and it was fantastic. It’s so intimate and Alex Clarke and BD Lens were a great combo.

I have played all over the world and in some of the most prestigious venues. On April 2nd I performed at the JAZZ CAFE in Lincoln with Niall Hunt. This is without doubt the best small venue I have ever played in. The audience is up close to the performing area, it's very intimate and you feel you are making a real connection with them. When you are performing they close the bar so the audience can listen with no distractions. Very few venues afford that level of respect to musicians. Add in a welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and great drinks and food and it's a world beater. I can't wait to be invited back.

What a venue! A mini Ronnie Scott’s in Lincoln centre. Great music, fantastic service and a brilliant atmosphere. We’ll see you again.

This place is a genuine gem. We were here on Thursday for the live music and booked seats at the front right next to the “stage”. The venue is small and intimate, I would guess about 30 people, so it has a very personal feel. This extends to the staff who are helpful and engaging. I sampled the cocktail menu and was not disappointed. All very tasty. As for the music, the duo we were there for were extraordinarily talented and entertaining. And because the venue is quite small it all felt as though it was a private party. We will be back!

Nice little secret coner bar staff are lovely and drinks are amazing lovely atmosphere xx

Really enjoyed our evening here lovely atmosphere. Would definitely come again when next in Lincoln.

Amazing cocktails 😊. Great atmosphere. Fabulous staff. No room for improvement 😊

It’s been a while since we have visited the jazz cafe and oh my goodness what a difference ….. gone are the lovely relaxing armchairs , sofa, quirky tables and seating which created a lovely ambience, to be replaced by soulless tables and chairs , completely ruins the previous laid back vibe! Drinks still cannot be faulted however the service can, felt like we were in the way, had 3 rounds of drinks each time we had to distract the waiting staff from their sitting at the bar position, glued looking at their phones to give us service , they didn’t even appear to speak to each other , would love to know what was so important on the phones that they zoned out to what was happening around them . The previous owner( can’t remember her name) was warm and welcoming, which is what is needed front of house. Previously we had often sat in the jazz cafe until after midnight chatting and enjoying the ambience, however on this visit whilst we were deciding on a night cap at just after 11, the waiter literary started packing up around us, leaving us in no doubt our time was up!!! Had been so looking forward to our visit after a few months away but left feeling extremely disappointed and with the feeling we won’t return. Such a shame …. Would love the old jazz cafe back

Absolutely superb, as always. Best atmosphere and best quality cocktails in Lincoln - table service is lovely and first rate, staff are attentive, professional and friendly.

Great little bar great selection of drinks If its your birthday trust me when I say the birthday cake drink is absolutely amazing No live music on the Saturday night we went unless we were to early was about 10pm

Went here for the first time to see Tuesday's Child. The band were fantastic and the venue is excellent. Very intimate environment to see live music.
