Located in the heart of South Boston, Lincoln is a classic American tavern that offers guests a welcoming combination of home-spun, American fare alongside a wide variety of rustic, wood-fire-grilled specialties.

Built with the intention of being a comfortable meeting spot for locals looking to share stories at the end of their long day, Lincoln draws inspiration from it’s surrounding, hard-working, and uniquely American neighborhood.

Revitalizing a nearly forgotten West Broadway space that at one time housed the area’s only department store, Lincoln feels nostalgic. It’s open-air, tiled-floor cafe, grande bar, and soaring, original tin ceilings remind us of a time when dining halls and supper clubs were a way of life.

    Not attentive Not friendly 2 hours dinner at a tavern was too long Bus help rolled eyes when asked if they wanted to take more plates or if it would be too much, ignored and didn’t make eye contact then walked away. So rude

The drinks on point food on point service on point! Last night was our anniversary and Victoria was our “server” she was amazing! She was sweet not over bearing, really she was AWESOME! We will not ever not go to Lincoln! We are planning a trip for brunch as the brunch menu calls our name!

    The food, drinks, and service were all excellent, we were celebrating a birthday and they surprised us with some great ice cream topped with hot fudge, sprinkles, and a candle, which was so sweet and really went above and beyond.
