    This is a fun, laid-back bar in the Northside right across from La Raza Park. After its namesake, there are plenty of goat decor items (taxidermy and paintings) adorning the walls of this bar. Seating is super comfortable with plush black leather booths and bar chairs. If you are not sitting at the bar, be sure to go up to the bar to place your drink order. Food can be ordered using a QR code during certain hours. In addition to standard drinks, there are some specialty cocktails and shots available. For some added fun, there is a photo booth and Buck Hunter. Definitely a great place to hang out.

    Embarrassed that I live down the street and JUST noticed this place being open. We stopped by because I stop by ALL bars with an adjective animal in the name, and although this won't qualify for people with that standard, I will allow this compound word with a very questionable adjective alluded to. ANYWAY, this place is simple and to the point, but the energy in here is great. The bar is classy, they have the recent version of Buck Hunter, and my only mild complaint might be that I wish they would have squeezed in a pool table. But, I digress. Kristen was great behind the bar. Place was empty when we came in, and about 20 people came in within ten minutes and she didn't even blink. Extremely efficient. We will definitely be making excuses to stop by here more. I know how to spell Kristen's name because when she asked the spelling, she said "I am a ten not a tin." I had to think about what my response would be with a K or a C. So, my response to you Kristen, after a few seconds of thought, is that "I am an Apostle and not a trend." I will work on a more definitive and permanent answer for our next drop-in. Plus, you can pretend like you are going to Ace for house stuff (see across the street), and come back a little happier to do the work. Definitely recommend, and see you there.

    Kasey and Ryan are gems! Such a busy night around the holidays, and they took care of not only my entire party, but everyone else at the bar. Great job, guys. Drinks were tasty, too.

    Amazing new bar has come to the Northside! Clean, fresh and great ambiance. Friendly Staff, check it out soon. They have non-alcoholic beer for your sober friends as well. Just a great bar, no kitchen, just a great meeting spot.

Both my girlfriend and I asked him multiple times to stop, but he continued anyway. After it became clear that he wasn't going to respect our boundaries, I raised my voice (not yelling, just firm) and asked that he stop serving us and that another bartender take over due to his aggressive and inappropriate sexual behavior. Instead of addressing the situation professionally, he immediately told both of us to leave the bar. This was an incredibly uncomfortable situation to deal with, especially on New Year's Eve, and it left us feeling embarrassed and disrespected. The first thing my girlfriend said to me the next morning was how uncomfortable that bartender had made her feel, which says a lot. I truly wish we had never gone to this bar. No one should feel pressured, sexualized, or thrown out for speaking up when their boundaries are repeatedly ignored.

    Lincoln is hands down one of the coolest speakeasies we've been to. The vibe is so unique $5 bills…read morecovering the walls with Lincoln's face everywhere really sets the tone and makes the place unforgettable. And yes... every drink is only $5 but heads up, it's cash only. The prices were so good we ended up staying for three drinks each and didn't even feel guilty about it. My husband and our friends ordered The Continental, a black cherry Old Fashioned, and it was absolutely delicious ,smooth, balanced, and full of flavor (I definitely stole a few sips). I went with a vodka pineapple and later a cranberry vodka, both refreshing and perfect. We loved the place so much that the guys even bought merch $10 t-shirts, which honestly felt just as affordable as the drinks. Amazing drinks, unbeatable prices, fun speakeasy vibes, and great memories. We'll 100% be back.

Atmosphere: The theme here is so cool! It's all about Abraham Lincoln but with a modern, artistic twist. There's really neat artwork everywhere showing different looks of Lincoln. It feels like a true old timey speakeasy. It gets very busy after 8 PM, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but the energy inside is awesome. Price: This is the most budget-friendly spot I've found in the area. Almost everything is $5! It is CASH ONLY, but don't worry if you forget. They have an ATM inside for you to use. Drink: I ordered the Continental, which is their take on an Old Fashioned with a black cherry. It was delicious and definitely didn't taste like a cheap drink despite the price point. Service: Despite how packed it was, the service was incredibly fast. We got our drinks in maybe 2-3 minutes tops. The staff is efficient and friendly. Overall Experience: Whether you're visiting and staying near Union Station or just looking for a fun local getaway, I highly recommend this place. We walked from our hotel, but if you drive, be prepared to look for street parking or a garage. It's fun, cheap, and has great theme nights. I'll definitely be back!
