About The Lincoln

The Lincoln is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

Tucked on the corner of Queensberry and Cardigan Streets in Carlton, Melbourne’s favourite pub, The Lincoln, is an award-winning and historic pub open since 1854, that has retained a charming old-world facade and an interior brimming with character. A Critic’s Pick in The Age Good Food Guide 2025, The Lincoln is loved by our loyal regulars, perfect for functions and a favourite within the hospitality industry.

Our beer and wine offerings change regularly, so there is always something new and interesting to discover.

Our art-deco bar is a throwback to Melbourne’s past, with a charming open fireplace, and bar stools that have been propping up punters for years. The deeply atmospheric space and aesthetic details recall a bygone era. If the tan and green terrazzo tiled bar could talk, they could tell some stories!

We have a new beautifully refurbished Private Dining Room known as “The Lincoln Arms” located at 138 Queensberry Street that offers much sought-after privacy while still offering the same excellent service, food and drinks.

With an intimate private dining room, The Lincoln is a labour of love for our team, with an uncompromising commitment to simply delicious food and drinks, a warm welcome and a relaxed feel. We are a pub that has stood the test of time and remains one of the best in Melbourne. Come see for yourselves!
