The Dandy Lion Lincoln
The Dandy Lion is a well-located pub in Lincoln. The pub sits in an area frequented by young professionals and students, offering a nightlife operator an exciting opportunity to create a vibrant, modern pub. We are now planning a £177,000 investment to appeal to this key demographic.
Rebranded as The Mute Swan, the pub will be repositioned in the market as a craft beer house. We will fully redecorate the pub to create a stylish venue for groups of friends to gather after work or at weekends. The 'secret garden' style beer terrace will also be developed to create an appealing space that will be a hot spot in the warmer months.
The Mute Swan would suit a casual dining menu that stands out from the usual pub fayre. Examples of this include sharing small plates, vegan options and vertical dining such as chicken wings. Combine this menu with a variety of craft beer and local ales, along with a selection of on trend spirits and premium mixers.
Visionary Operator Wanted
The right operator for this pub will have prior experience running a similar venue. They will have their finger on the pulse of Lincoln's nightlife scene and know what it takes to effectively market a business like this. If this sounds like you, apply now to discuss the refurbishment in more detail.
Pub Features
Trading Area & Facilities
Inside, customers will enter via a small lobby which will lead to the casual drinks lounge. Our investment will add stylish concertina windows to this space, along with a mix of new free and fixed seating options. We will retain the pub's original fireplace as a feature.
The main bar area will also be fully redecorated in a modern craft house style. We will add new illuminated shelving behind the bar and restain the bar countertop. There is a second, small trading space which can be used to accommodate semi private functions or as a space for pub games such as pool.
We will redecorate the pub's beer terrace, adding astro turf and a covered area. The existing fence will be repainted and planters filled with foliage will be added. New fixed bench style seating will also be added.
