NEW OPENINGS
How to survive Freshers week!
Lincoln has seen plenty of new openings this summer from The Rogue Saint on Mint Street to Madame Waffle on the High Street. Two more new venues will be opening this month. Let us know what you think of these additions to Lincoln’s nightlife on Twitter (@lincolnpubgeek) or Facebook (/pubgeekuk).
CARDINAL’S HAT PUB TO OPEN ON HIGH STREET
A new pub is to open at the bottom of the Strait in Lincoln city centre on 7th September. The building dates back to the 1400s and is going to be selling a large selection of beers, wines, ciders and spirits and various bar snacks. Owner, Rupert Abbott, says they’ll be stocking niche products from around the world and claims that there’ll be “some brands that you won’t see anywhere else in Lincoln”.
WINE ON WEST PARADE
Wine bar, The Optimist, will be opening at the end of September on West Parade in the former premises of The Bronze Pig. Customers will be able to enjoy a glass half full of over 25 wines and various sharing platters to compliment the drinks. Restaurateur Jo Bycroft told the Echo “It’s a beautiful area of Lincoln. Surrounded by independant retailers, it has a lovely little Italy feel about it.”
( for non-students )
September. The month in which our beautiful city suddenly fills with hundreds of eighteen year olds trying to make their way into the real world. In a few months they’ll have learnt how to boil pasta and hopefully had their final jagerbombs (maybe) but for now it’s time for them to celebrate being grown ups for the first time by staying up past their bedtimes.
A.L.E. All Lincoln EVents
If you’ve long since graduated and forgotten the whimsy of first year (or maybe you skipped the whole thousands-of-pounds-of-soul-crushing-debt debacle) then here’s a few tips to help you get along with our new fellow Lincolnites. 1. In the mornings they can be quite sleepy . Speak really loudly to them, it helps them wake up in time for their lectures. 2. If you see a worried looking student don’t forget to tell them that they’ll graduate and walk straight into a job after third year. 3. They’re more scared of you than you are of them. Don’t hit them with a rolled up newspaper. Just put a glass over them, slide a beer mat underneath and calmly return them to the university campus. 4. If you fancy being a good citizen why not recommend a tasty beverage (that isn’t luminous blue) to your local student? 5. Freshers FluTM isn’t infectious, it’s just the effect of too much too often . Probably. Buy a gas mask off eBay just in case.
