Widow Cullen's Well is a small pub that's halfway up the Steep Hill. It's cheap, good beer and never packed.
If you get there early enough it's always good to start in the Bailgate and work your way down Steep Hill and the bars on the way; Magna Carta, Widow Cullen's Well, Strait and Narrow...
Portland street is about the dodgiest area in the centre on Lincoln. Living nearby every time there is a serious incident it always seems to be around there.
The bailgate however, is fantastic.
