We found this pub via google whilst visiting Lincoln and paid it a visit. A good selection of drinks, including several flavoured gins which made me happy. Partner was able to enjoy a good pint too. Excellent prices. Staff member behind the bar was friendly, and as evening came more people came into the pub and it was a pleasant vibe. Decor was pleasing and quite quirky which I like. A good pub away from the main tourist area but well worth the visit. We did not eat here and did not know if they were serving food. Toilets were clean.

I have always shunned pubs to eat in because they rarely have proper food for vegans unless you want burgers but no more! The Bitdcage is the BEST rpub/ restaurant I have ever eaten in! The chef has his attention to the little details such as radishes in the shape of little stars and his sauces are just divine!! I noticed one of my meat head friends gobbling down his vegan shwarma kebab and he took photos of it because it was just so petty! My compliments to the chef and also to the staff who were attentive and very polite. I will certainly go back!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Went here after work and the gym the other night, instructed the other half we were going out. Wasn't sure what to expect in terms of food. We have been having a few drinks here over the last few weeks and decided it was time to try the food. Gluten free offerings from other restaurants have been very grim. I felt welcome here when I asked for GF. I was given a few choices and went for the fish and chips. Lovely. Decent chips, crispy batter, choice of peas. Other half went for the burger. The bun was a little over sized but he said the dish was lovely. That's high praise for him! Plates were taken away promptly. This seems to be unusual just lately so it's little things like this that make the experience better. Asking about dessert the lovely lady wasn't aware of GF options so went away to ask. Came back with "they all are". I never normally have choices, so went with the fudge cake and so did the other half. He was very pleasantly surprised that it didn't taste GF. All in all, it was just a really lovely evening. Chilled, relaxed, very friendly but not invasive staff, good tunes on too. Will definitely go back in a fortnight when the main chef is back. And if you go there in the next few days and it's still on, the Rum and Raisin Cider is quite something to behold! Cheers Birdcage!

Amazing place to go for dinner or just drinks with friends. Menu offers great tasting and handsome portions of vegan, vegetarian and meat dishes to satisfy everyones taste. The selection of ales, ciders and wines was reasonably priced and of a good standard. It was great to be able to purchase vegan friendly ale in a bar! Large beer garden with plenty of seating and shelter. Lovely atmosphere as there are bedding plants and hanging baskets in ever space possible. The service was great, the bartender explained the covid rules to us and continued the evening with a smile. They offered to adjust the speaker volume as we were sat underneath but this was not necersary the music was banging. All in all a very comforting and pleasant pub. Healthy portions packed with flavour. Great selection of alcohol and fantastic service. 10/10 will be going back again!

I visited the Birdcage for the first time today after hearing so many great reviews. I wasn’t disappointed. We were welcomed by friendly bar staff who explained how to sanitise and sign in for track and trace, where we could sit and how we could order our drinks. The pub was lovely and clean with the staff always sanitising doors and tables. We saw lots of food being served so decided to eat there ourselves, the portions were incredible, They even gave us a take away box so we didn’t waste what we couldn’t finish. I had the burger and a pint deal for £10. Great choice of burgers to choose from and so so tasty. Massive compliments to the Chef. Overall very impressed and will definitely be back and will recommend to everyone!! Thank you

Decided to have an afternoon doing the Lincoln pubs we never really go to, and after visiting the birdcage we wondered why we don't! I hope it's not insulting to say it isn't what you expect from the surrounding area, which isn't particularly smart, but the birdcage is like a little oasis. It's nicely decorated, light, airy and the barman was really friendly and welcoming. The beer garden was nice and tidy and the toilets were not just clean, but smart! Many of the more well known pubs could learn a lesson or two from the birdcage... We only had drinks but the menu (and the pictures of the food on Facebook) looked... Stunning. And I don't say that easily. The menu was a world away from the same old stuff you get in most pubs, and going from the pictures, beautifully presented. We will be back to try it as soon as we can. We left very impressed.
