Can't decide what you're having this weekend? 🤔 Neither could we, so we made a list!

Espresso Martini for the ones who need the caffeine hit first. Nutella Martini for the ones who never grew out of dessert for dinner. White Russian for the classics. Pornstar Martini for the ones who know exactly what they came for. And a Mojito for anyone making the most of summer while it's still here.

Pick your fighter. We'll have it ready.

A STORM IS BREWING...

Watch our White Russian come together, a collaboration with Marshmallow Company that's stood the test of time, finished with a marshmallow toasted right in front of you at the bar with a blow torch. It's a proper bit of theatre, and it tastes just as good as it looks.

Come and see it for yourself.

LOOKING FOR THE OWNER!

This was left at the pub last night and we’re hoping to get it back to its owner.

There’s an inscription on the back, so if you think it might be yours, send us a message telling us what the inscription says and we’ll arrange to reunite you! 😊

Please give this a share and hopefully it reaches the right person. 😁

A little bitter. A little twisted. Exactly how we like it. 🥃

When the group chat says “just one?” - we all know how that ends. 🍻

Cold beer, questionable decisions and absolutely no rush to call it a night.

See you at The Strait & Narrow.

Good drinks, good music, and an atmosphere that's hard to leave.

The kind of place where one drink turns into another, the music gets a little louder, and the night just seems to take on a life of its own.

Come for the drinks, stay for the atmosphere.

See you tonight?

Things that just make sense…

1.⁠ ⁠Phones connected throughout the bar. A pandemic relic we decided was too good to bin.

2.⁠ ⁠A ridiculous amount of good booze, because great drinks don’t make themselves.

3.⁠ ⁠Ask for Angela Keeping our customers safe. Always!

4 & 5. Iconic black & white film photography.

6.⁠ ⁠DJ decks. The same ones that have been spinning old-school hip hop since back in the day.

7.⁠ ⁠Legendary quotes. Some inspirational. Some questionable. All staying on the walls.

8 & 9. Our obsession with Sigourney Weaver and William Shatner knows absolutely no bounds.

10.⁠ ⁠Our very own Han Solo, frozen in time and cast into the bar for all eternity.

Because at The Strait & Narrow, some things just make sense.

It’s a Strait & Narrow thing.

We took to the streets with one of our best sellers to introduce the people of Lincoln to their new favourite cocktail. What unfolded was chaotic, slightly scary, and very chocolatey.

Turns out you lot don't mess around when Nutella’s involved. Lesson learned.

Come and enjoy the full thing!

Keep your eye out for more street tasters on our socials.

There's a lot going on in this one, and we mean that as a compliment.

Arette Reposado Tequila, pink grapefruit soda, fresh lime, and mint leaves that get an actual spray of absinthe before they go anywhere near your glass. Meet the Palijto Bay. Yes, we know it sounds made up. It isn't.

Watch it come together, then come try it for yourself.
