Locally owned. Loudly loved.
A blues bar & Cajun café serving the best live music and award-winning comfort food in the Wash Park area for two decades.
A roadhouse in the middle of the city.
Tucked on the corner of South Pearl & Buchtel beside I-25, Lincoln’s has been the neighborhood’s go-to for cold drinks, Cajun cooking and live blues for more than twenty years. We host great local acts and some amazing national ones, and we’ve never been the kind of place that takes itself too seriously.
Blues, classic rock, swamp and outlaw country fill the room Friday & Saturday nights. Weeknights bring trivia, open mic, pool and Broncos talk at the bar.
How our kitchen works.
A small kitchen with big standards. On busy nights your order might take a little longer — it’s worth it.
~90% scratch
Gumbo, green chili, étouffée, meatloaf, pot roast and sauces are made in house, from scratch.
Local bread & beef
Our French bread is baked locally and delivered fresh every week. Burgers are a special grind of brisket, sirloin & chuck from our local butcher.
Patience = flavor
All-natural chicken is pickle-brined and sous-vided. Catfish soaks in buttermilk for three full days.
