THOR'S Tipi Bar

THOR'S Tipi Bar returns to Cornhill Quarter on 23 October, running through to 31 December. It's a seasonal pop-up that comes back to the city centre every Christmas, and this time it's set up on the edge of The Cornhill. They describe it as a Nordic winter wonderland, with roaring log fires, cosy furs, a winter garden and twinkling lights.

Inside, the drinks list shifts with the time of day: hot chocolate by day and Christmas cocktails by night. You'll find Lincolnshire craft ales alongside festive warmers like mulled wine, hot cider and German-style hot chocolates. On the food side, there are loaded sausages and raclette fries. The music doesn't stop either, with live acts every week and open-mic sessions on the programme. Dogs are welcome, so you can bring yours along.

It's worth remembering that Lincoln has a surprisingly strong cocktail scene, with the city's Cocktail Trail taking in more than 20 venues across the centre, from historic pubs to dedicated cocktail bars. If you're in the mood for something a bit more than a single drink, that's a good place to start.

Entry is free and no booking is required. Opening times are Monday to Friday 12:00–23:00, Saturday 11:00–23:00, and Sunday 12:00–20:00. You'll find it at The Cornhill, Cornhill Quarter, 22 Sincil St, Lincoln, LN5 7ET.
