Celebrated my birthday on a Wednesday, 2nd time in a row. Cool spot, great outdoor area, with heat lamps. Friendly staff, cool music.Downsides, no food aside from hot dogs and only street parking.Vegetarian options: None, no foodParking: No lot, only busy street.Kid-friendliness: It's a bar so no!Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs so good!

One of my favorite places in Venice! Cocktails are always on point made by the most amazing bartenders. Music is always on point too!

Had fun celebrating my bday! Friendly staff, good drinks and live DJ. Lovely big space in and especially cool outdoor covered area with heat lamps and lots of seating and tables. They allow you to bring in outdoor food, so we did and had a blast. They serve free hot dogs, but while we were outside, they hadn't started that yet. I was told they did so much later. Parking sucks, as only street parking.

Definitely a gem. This spot kept popping up on my ig feed for their cocktails so had to try it. Went on a weekend. Super cute spot. Drinks were on point. Great crowd and music as well.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I reserved a table in advance and they gave my table away within 5 minutes of being late. I brought 25 people there, including people who flew from out of town, and there was 0 sympathy given. I am so disappointed in this establishment- and the bouncer / manager especially. Would not recommend

Really good cocktails, 90's hip hop and neo-soul music the nights I went, and good crowd. The Lincoln is my go to lounge when near Venice.

3.5/5 stars, but I'll round up to a 4. Good drinks and great ambiance! The DJ was ... interesting to say the least haha We arrived around 8PM with a group of 5. This was the PERFECT timing because it was still pretty dead and we were able to snag a table. If we came later, it'd be pretty hard to get a seat. Drinks were solid. Ended up trying the Cereal Killer and Daddy Don't Make Dinner. They also have a water station at both ends of the bar. We had a nice evening and was excited for the DJ to start. The bartender told us that the DJ starts at 9:30PM. The DJ ended up starting a little bit later, maybe more towards 9:45PM. By that time, it was starting to get pretty packed. The DJ played some Top 40 and had some interesting mixes/transitions. We were vibing with some of the choices, but not with other choices. We were getting ready to head out to get some ice cream. The last mix we heard was Tequila by the Champs mixed with Single Ladies by Beyonce. It was ... odd lol We left during that song. As we were leaving, the DJ transitioned to Lauryn Hill which was a great choice. But it was too late! We had already left haha Outside, there was quite a long line forming. Best move is definitely to come around 8PM and stay for the DJ if you vibe with the music choices.

DJ vs the crowd is not how a night club should handle itself. I've never seen so many people so desperate to dance and a DJ so intent on not letting them. The DJ here sucked and insisted on playing what HE wanted to hear instead of the crowd that he's paid to entertain and show a good time to. The few times the DJ started playing something that got the crowd undeniably visibly excited, he'd almost immediately change the song to something quite opposite: for example, playing 30 sec of Feel So Close by Calvin Harris then transitioning into Sweet Child of Mine by Guns N Roses then immediately into Don't Stop Believing by Journey... Really? Those songs are not compatible and seriously dude, pick a theme! The patrons here all seemed pretty cool and just looking to have a good time; quite a few were pretty dressed up. The drinks are excellent, definitely quality but you have to wait about 30 minutes before the bar opens up enough to actually order a drink. It's tough to get the bartender's attention but once you do, they're very professional and respectful. All in all, this place is definitely worth checking out, especially if they start getting better DJs who will actually play dance music for the tons of people who show up clearly wanting to dance.

I want in all cases to do right, and most particularly so, in all cases with women-Abraham Lincoln 08/16/1837Four score and seven years ago gender relations were not such a mysterious endeavor. The man paid for a drink, the woman drank the drink. Now, a woman pays for her drink and accuses you of not being a gentleman by accepting her offer to pay for the drink. Or worse yet, you are a misogynistic degenerat for having the audacity to try to pay for her drink. ?♂️.What is not a mystery is that the Lincoln has great drinks! A true mixologist behind the bar here.A Ukrainian woman softly caressed my hair and told me she was looking for a nice distraction from her husband and kids as I waited for my expresso martini and in hindsight. I never saw a woman so alone. So alone, so alone,Nice place.....kinda dark in a sexy way.
I came here for New Year's Eve, and was super satisfied with the venue space. That night they had an amazing dj playing a variety of different hits, the vibes were immaculate. Not to mention their drinks were delicious, thought I do wish that their cocktail section had more options, I have happy with the gin cocktail I ordered.

Went at 8pm on Dec 30th and it was empty. The atmosphere was great and the cocktails were creative but not exceptional. It started getting busy as we were leaving. I liked the couches - very cozy setting.
