    Cheap thrills. Cool place to chill. $5 bills. Yummy food and strong drinks. Sweet potato fries are FIRE!!! Friendly staff. Jukebox. What more can you ask for?

    This isn't a fancy restaurant, but a cool and fun bar! I had a chicken sandwich with tomato pesto, and old fashioned seasoned fries, GREAT food! Service is fun and friendly. The bar top is made of pennies. A fun conversation piece.

    Was in Fresno for the weekend and wanted to try all the bars around... This was our last stop... We only got to try the beer .. but beer was nice a cold... 5$ for bar can't get better than that... Vibe was good.. everyone just enjoying cold beer and a conversation.... Will come back

    I really enjoyed the Lincoln pub and grill. Food was great and the drinks weren't bad but a little on the sweet side. Prices are extremely Fair and the environment is great. This is a little ways off from some of the other restaurants in downtown Fresno but is a nice place to check out. The only downside is it can get a bit crowded at night and there isn't much room to sit inside or outside.

    Amazing bar, best prices for drinks. The food is solid, but it feels like the pricier items are in small serving sizes for the price, but it's usually pretty tasty, so I'm forgiving.

    Smaller space, but very friendly, pub atmosphere. Looked to be a fully stocked bar, and beer selection. Everyone certainly seems to be enjoying themselves, and having a good time. Clientele is early 20s to 60+. Everyone is getting along and accepting of each other. No one is an outsider. Very impressive. I saw a few of the food items sold off the menu, everything look very tasty and smelled great! I'll be back to try the French-dip sandwich (my yardstick).

    This place is great. Get a cigar up the street and enjoy it on the patio with an array of $5 eats and drinks. Bring your friends, get the tab. One of the few places left with a jukebox. You'll love it.

    The negatives I will start with.. When it's packed your service is super slow and they could use extra employees there to give it better experience... The pros the manager owner super cool guy... The cheap menu that they have is amazing and underated for the area. They have a $5 pork belly with chili on it and it is heaven. also the drinks are great I have been there several times I have not been disappointed with the food and the drinks. That's the only thing that can improve is the service that's all.

    Prices are ok. Food extremely salty. The crowd is very loud. Locals think it's their place. Would not recommend!! As I was looked up and down by a girl who started talking loudly about her lesbian lifestyle. Funny story I was there with my wife celebrating my birthday. You guessed right one drink and appetizer. Off to more mature venue's.

    Oh my gosh okay first of all, the girl with the beanie and glasses is the worst bartender I’ve ever met. It’s a miracle my friend got drunk because I called her for service for 25 minutes while she was off laughing with another guy and doing whatever. Then, finally I get her to come over, and she makes me the worst Mindori sour I’ve ever had. It just tastes like syrup and rubbing alcohol. I begged my friend not to leave her a tip. She was so freaking horrible and rude.

    What a hidden gem! Located in the Historic Tower District, The Lincoln Club offers 5 dollar drinks, that's right 5 dollar beers and mixed drinks. They also offer a perfect size 5 dollar menu..Bartender Tara is a great mixologist... Enjoy, Tony

    All of the pork belly options were very good…nice and smoky. The chef came out and said they do everything in house, and you will be able to tell and enjoy. I had the pork belly appetizer, Mac and cheese with pork belly, and the Banh Mi pork belly sandwich. All were excellent. The only reason for not giving a 5 star rating was that the garlic fries had no garlic flavor at all. I should have chosen the seafood fries for a slight up charge. Will definitely be back.

  • 2/5 Angie M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place used to be awesome. Now it's extremely hit or miss. Usually a miss. Yesterday I had lunch here and the lady who served me was absolutely amazing. My drinks were perfectly balanced and when I asked about the chicken noodle soup, she went to the kitchen and got me the tiniest sample of the broth so I can try it. It was delicious so I added it to my order. I tipped her well and am regretting not getting her name, but she had long curly brown hair. She deserves a raise. Tonight I came here with my boyfriend and the service was HORRIBLE. I ordered a bees knees as usual and I am almost convinced it was a virgin version because it just tasted like a glass of lemon juice. When I received my food they just took my empty glass and didn't ask if I wanted another drink. Me and my boyfriend ate our whole meal and still no one asked if we wanted another drink. And we were sitting up front at the bar.. The workers were joking with eachother instead of being on top of their job. A group of girls walked in the same time we did and they walked out because they weren't being served after waiting around. We used to love this place but the quality has decreased majorly which I'm sad about.

    Unfortunately my latest experience here wasnt great. our meal was excellent and service was quick but the bartender was incredibly rude and condescending. believe her name was Camy or Tammy, the one with dark eyebrows . sadly I wont be back because im not interested in being talked down to

    A bar for the Tower Locals for sure... which is a good and bad thing, but that's all of Tower District now.

  • 2/5 Destinee T. 1 year ago on Google
    We went here for Pride and had some amazing bloody Mary’s so we decided to go back for some drinks and appetizers. Unfortunately for me, the food was awful and the drinks were mediocre. We ordered the tempera green beans, buffalo wings and garlic fries. It all tasted like it was fried in old oil and left a fishy after taste in my mouth. I was so hopeful from our prior experience but it left me feeling unsatisfied and a little nauseous. Might go back for bloody Mary’s but will never order the food here again.

    Great food small menu but many delicious options. Outdoor seating without being smashed out by others. Great service as well

  • 4/5 Felipe A. 9 months ago on Google
    Love the food and drink options. Service is great even in a full house. A bit small so seating may be an issue. Just get there early.

  • 5/5 Luis R. 10 months ago on Google
    Cool tower bar spot!! Prices are super for and so is the quality. Puts some other "fancier" spots to shame with their exorbitant pricing, nearly double. Patrons are super casual too.

  • 5/5 David W. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my go to spot in the Tower District. Staff is always on point friendly and ready to serve u. Foods good and it's not ur typical bar food the menu is creative. The best thing about The Lincoln is most drinks r $5 🤘😎🤘

  • 5/5 Trevor Sparks (. 1 year ago on Google
    Novel theme and cool setup, love the menu with the mostly $5 items. Food isn't gourmet but it was excellent, tastes great and good presentation. Good selection of drinks, proper bar. Staff were super nice. 👌

  • 1/5 Magda S. 7 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    A little too loud for my liking. Drinks were good for the price but the food was a no go for me. I got the calamari and pork belly. Calamari didn't have much flavor and the pork belly was just different in all the wrong ways. Service was quick and friendly even with how packed and busy they were, so that was nice. Had 2 drinks and 2 appetizers and paid like $25.

  • 5/5 Teddy J. 7 months ago on Google
    I Absolutely LOVE everything about this Pub!!! Sam, Abby, AJ and staff are Awesome...food is off the hook (love the 5 buck Calamari with extra jalapenos / Pork Belly) and pretty much anything on the menu. Great Food, Great Drinks, Killer Vibe...What more could anyone ask for!

  • 2/5 Jocelyn P. 1 year ago on Google
    I used to love this place. The drinks were amazing and service was great. As of now, I don’t know what the newer bartenders are doing….. because they won’t pay attention to you (even when it’s slow) and will wait 10 min to even acknowledge you, while they are busy chatting up a person next to you.

  • 4/5 roger b. 4 months ago on Google
    First all the place is small, but went early enough so it was not crowded. Had the calamari and tempura green beans. So good. Only takeaway was it got very loud as it got more crowded.
