The Original Bierkeller in Lincoln has shut down and is looking for a new home after disagreements over a new lease with Lincolnshire Co-op.
The bar brought a slice of German culture to Lincoln when it first opened on Silver Street in June 2017 and news of its closure was met with a lot of disappointment, attracting over 2,000 comments on social media.
Lincolnshire Co-op own the building and J D Wetherspoon PLC were the most recent tenants (former Forum venue) who in turn sublet it to Harewood Group Ltd, trading as Bierkeller.
