  • A properly preserved Pub. They have done a great job of keeping the traditional feel of an old Carlton Corner Hotel that also feels polished and well defined. I had the Sunday Roast, it was delicious. Staff are very attentive, throughly enjoyed the Lincoln experience. Oh, and plenty of new beers on tap to try.

  • Best sunday roast in Melbourne!!! I booked the table online, we got the window seat at the back. Really appreciate it! The staffs are friendly and helpful with the drinks suggestion. I had a pint of milk stout, fall in love with the creamy beer head! It was a lamb rump roast, the lamb is perfectly cooked matching with vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and light gravy. Definitely coming back for the Sunday roasted and craft beer again!
