A group of us were planning to meet at the Lincoln House for drinks and dinner. My boyfriend and I got there early and sat at the bar for Happy Hour. Excellent happy hour as drinks were $5 until 6 pm. They had food on the Happy Hour menu but since we planned to have dinner with the group, we decided to have drinks. There was a live band that sounded great but it was too loud to have conversations inside. When the group started showing up, we all went to the front patio where we were able to talk and mingle. We all continued having drinks because the conversations were so good with our high school friends. We ended up having a great night at Lincoln House and we'll be back to have dinner as we watch a band. read more

Lincoln House - Happy Hour sounds perfect on this hot day. - American Near Me - Covina, California

Brought my mom here for her birthday. The drinks were phenomenal but all our food came out cold despite us being one of the only few people there arriving upon opening. Great for bar aspect but probably not dinner. read more

Very good restaurant with a staff on the learning curve of trying to do their best...but just not there...yet. Translation...the restaurant has the ability to be a 9.5 plus...but the staff (hostess, food services and visible team), are at the Red Robin level. All that being said...I recommend this place for the live band, bar and menu offerings. Prices are at the fair to high end...the taste of food and plate presentation is very good. They have a "Speak-Easy" back room...I didn't visit this but I have a feeling that's it's more OK and nothing to wow about. $15 for two deviled eggs (two eggs cut in half), dinner salad was from Norm's restaurant class, steak with blue cheese, shrimp and mac-n-cheese was an above average...then the shrimp pasta was very good. I recommend this place, go with friends and make your own evaluation...I think most folks will really like this place. read more

Food 5/5 Service 2/5 Lamb lollipops and deviled eggs were HOWEVER, I made reservations for Wednesday 7pm, which seemed unnecessary. Seated ourselves (table for 2) One server.. service seemed to take longer than expected given there were only a few tables occupied. Only thing she seemed to be hasty on was the bill. read more

Excellent experience here! Came early on a Saturday for dinner and some drinks. We were seated right away. We had a reservation but didn't need it at the time. Our server was super prompt to come over and offer water and get us some menus. She got our drinks to us pretty quick and we got right onto appetizers. We got a wedge salad to share. Shortly, after ordering, she came back for our mains and said " not trying to rush you just some people like to get on with what they want" which we really appreciate appreciated because I can't stand waiting around without someone to ask me if I'm ready. Our cocktails came and they were fantastic. I'm very persnickety about my gimlet and the bartender made it wonderful. Made it wonderful four times in fact. Our wedge salad came, and it was cold and crisp. The blue cheese dressing was very good. If I could change something, I would say it may be needed a little bit more bacon and red onion. I also really appreciated that our server (Danielle) let us know that there was egg on the salad that was not listed on the menu. I dislike egg so I'm so glad she said something. For mains we got the Mongolian beef and the shrimp linguine. Both came out pretty quickly and she timed it really well. It wasn't super busy so I can see why it came out fast but also she was just super attentive to what was going on. The Mongolian beef was crispy with tons of flavor and the rice was really good. The shrimp linguine had plenty of shrimp and a lovely lemon cream sauce. After our meals, we stayed for a little bit of the band. They seem to be a very well-rounded trio. Allegedly this old school specialty group plays everything from the 50s till now! Indeed, we heard music from the 50s and the 60s and country and roc and roll. Overall, this place was great. Would absolutely come back and eat the same thing and hopefully got the same server. read more

We decided to have an early Valentines dinner here at Lincoln House and had 5:30 reservations.We were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in and the hostess took our drink orders. I really like the vibe in here and we even had live music with a guy playing some great 70's guitar music. Our cocktails arrived soon after and were made spot on. My Old Fashioned was great with a maple simple syrup. My wife enjoyed her Martini as well! I ordered the Short Rib entre, as I usually do whenever I find it on the menu at various restaurants. The meat was very tender and flavorful, bedded on a pile of mashed potato's and sliced, blanched carrots. I could have easily eaten another plate, which brings me to my criticism. The portion was one of the smallest Short Rib plates I've ever received. This is what led to only 4 stars on my review. I will be back again to try something new on the menu! read more

I've lived here basically my whole life and I've never been here since yesterday! I loved everything about it. The utility room was so cute and quaint and I'm glad you can still order dinner in there. We ordered the deviled eggs, Mongolian beef and the cajun chicken pasta. Deviled eggs and beef were so GOOD DAMN. The pasta was salty as hellllll, but it's alright! We ordered a Japanese whiskey old fashioned to was it all down, amazing! Service was also quick and friendly. Would absolutely go back :) check it out! read more

Had such a lovely night at Lincoln House with my mom! We went for a little night out and had both food and drinks. We didn't have reservations (which I'd definitely recommend because it was pretty full inside), but they were still able to seat us outside and honestly the atmosphere out there was really nice and cozy. Our waitress was very attentive the whole time, and I can honestly say the drinks were actually very good! The food was great as well and we had such a good time catching up. When a spot opened up inside, she kindly offered to move us, which was such a thoughtful touch we ended up enjoying dessert indoors. Overall, it was a great experience with good service, great food, and a welcoming vibe. Would definitely come back! read more

My friend and I walked in checking it out, not really sure if we wanted to stay. The old guy at the door was a grump. My friend and I decided to sit at the bar. We each ordered a glass of wine, and ordered the calamari. The live music was nice. The calamari came out cold and over cooked! A wasted $18, the portion was cute. I don't think I'll be giving this place a second try. read more

Lincoln House - Cold over cooked calamari, we hardly touched it. VERY DISAPPOINTED - American Near Me - Covina, California

In the year of our gathering, four souls did assemble Within that stately house bearing Mr. Abraham Lincoln's honored name. A dwelling dimly lit, as though secrets of the Union Were whispered 'neath amber lamps and polished wood. We commenced with curious fare -- Avocado egg rolls, most uncommon to the age, Crisp as autumn leaves beneath a soldier's boot, Accompanied by draughts most artfully composed. The spirits, near five hundred strong in whiskey ranks, Stood at attention behind a grand and noble bar. My good wife and I did share a ribeye of stout character, Seared with conviction, resolute in flavor, Alongside a Caesar salad -- Simple, yet steadfast as the Republic itself. The bill was not trifling, Yet neither is excellence cheaply won. Such bounty commands its due. Music rose lively in the chamber, Filling the air as though a regiment band Had traded brass for velvet tones. The atmosphere -- part supper hall, part secret congress -- Invited mirth, reflection, and another measured pour. Mark well: this establishment admits only those Of one-and-twenty years and greater, And bids its guests dress casual, yet with dignity befitting the hour. Reservations are wisely secured in advance, For many seek audience within these walls. Thus I proclaim with earnest spirit: The Lincoln House is a dinner place like none other. Where creative cookery, noble whiskey, And harmonious song convene in a union most perfect. read more

Lincoln House is a great cocktail bar and restaurant in the heart of Covina. They have craft cocktails, delicious food, great service and a cool atmosphere. They even have live music every week! I love their deviled eggs (not you gramma's deviled eggs), and their Bruschetta. For drinks, the smoked Barrel Aged Old Fashioned is delicious! I must mention that Lincoln House also has a cool Speakeasy that is open Thursday through Sunday and a nice outdoor patio if you want to stay away from the live music on the weekends. This is one of the classiest bars in the Covina/West Covina area. It is not really fancy, but it is nice. Food selection is good, they have a full bar, and the crowd varies depending on the day of the week. I would say it is mostly 30's and older. I recommend to visit Lincoln House and decide for yourself. read more

Went here for my bday last night and it was a very nice time! They gave me a birthday shot out and had a good band for a Wednesday night! The food was decent though. I ordered the salmon with ceasar salad and mashed potatoes as my sides . The mashed potatoes were a bit dry but still good! The salmon was good and filling! The Caesar salad was also very good!! For my drinks I ordered the nineteenth amendment and the honeybubbles that were both decent sized and good drinks. The ambiance was perfect ! It's good for date night or celebratory evenings/ outings. Our server was really good and she was all alone, but did not mess up at all! They also have happy hour during the week with really good prices! Easy to park with lots of spots in the back. Very good atmosphere with jazz decor and Lincoln pictures. -Marshay D. read more

Make your reservation at the Lincoln House speakeasy and prepare yourself -- this isn't just a cocktail bar, it's a journey. The place oozes charm: dim, cozy lighting, the kind of perfectly curated lo-fi indie rock playlist that makes you feel like you're in a scene from a very hip movie, and an atmosphere that practically whispers, 'You made an excellent life choice.' Then there's Marklee, the resident mixology wizard. Tell her what flavors you're into, and she'll vanish behind the bar like a mad scientist, only to return with something so beautiful and delicious you'll briefly consider quitting your job to follow her around making drinks for you forever. Dinner here? Absolutely. Pre-night-out drinks in Old Covina? Also yes. This place doesn't just elevate your evening -- it picks it up, dusts it off, and sends it home with a shiny new personality. read more

We used to go on Thursday night for dinner and to listen to music, they always had the same two guys playing. The Steaks are excellent, the Mongolian beef bowl was also good. Went back last week, I don't know if they are under new management, but the prices went up about $9-10 a plate, and they had a new band playing. They played so loud we couldn't have a conversation, and the place was pretty empty compared to previous times I have been there. Disappointed! read more

Here's a cozy snapshot of my recent visit to Lincoln House in downtown Covina--an inviting American restaurant & cocktail bar with a speakeasy flair and live music Review of My Dining Experience I recently enjoyed dinner at Lincoln House, and here's what stood out: 1. Ribeye Steak Dinner The thick-cut ribeye came perfectly grilled, tender and juicy, paired with creamy mashed potatoes and fresh broccoli. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying. 2. Creative Cocktails & Craft Whiskey Their cocktail list is exceptional--my evening highlight was the "Model T," a balanced and refreshing sip. Add to that their collection of over 500 whiskeys and you've got a drink-lover's paradise. 3. Atmosphere & Vibe Warm lighting, vintage jazz-speakeasy décor, and live music nights (Thurs-Sat) make this a perfect spot for a date or small celebration. Final Take Whether you're on the hunt for a succulent steak, a smooth cocktail, or a cozy night out with music, Lincoln House delivers. Definitely recommend making reservations for dinner--this gem is worth it.

Step into this bar, restaurant, and speakeasy for a break from your routine. They have an impressive collection of popular and rare liquors. The menu has something for everyone, from appetizers, entrees, salads, and dessert. We already had dinner, so we opted for Lettuce Wraps and Calamari. They have signature cocktails, and it was not easy to choose, but I started with a Mangolian. I don't like overly sweet drinks, this one had the right balance of fruit, ginger beer for tartness and carbonation, plus a spicy tamarind rim for a bit of saltiness. We waited for an 8:30 reservation in the Speakeasy. It is a separate room with entrance granted with a reservation and the Password of the day. It seats about 30 guests and can be rented for a private party. I just loved the decor and furnishings to transport me back in time to the Prohibition days! The bartender was Markley, she is a professional mixologist and good storyteller! She creates her own mixers in small batches. We ordered an Old Fashion and Speakeasy Sidecar. The drink menu is written on "luggage tags" pull one from the collection and enjoy! I like this creative way of reading the menu!! The music was blaring from a Playlist that we enjoyed in the Speakeasy. The main bar had a live band performing at 8pm to closing. This was a fun night, and I can't wait to return. I didn't know what to expect, but I can say it exceeded my expectations! Check it out for yourself and don't forget to tell 'em that Rosemary sent ya! read more

We walked in about 8 o'clock at night and almost every table inside was full, but we were able to find a table. The bar was full, and the band had just taken a break. The lead singer came over to all the tables and introduced herself and was chatting with everybody, which I thought was really awesome. The staff was super attentive, considering how busy they were and the drinks were good. They don't have a lot of choices on the menu, but for a bar there was enough and the food was pretty good. They have an outside patio as well, although nobody was out there. The band came back on and played until 10 o'clock and they were really good. Definitely will go again. read more

Lincoln House - Watermelon margarita - American Near Me - Covina, California

This place has been on my bucket list. I went today to celebrate a birthday and I had an incredible time. The music, food, and environment was delightful. The service was wonderful, even though they only had one waiter working all the tables. Emily, did a great job of juggling tables, being observant to everyone, and making sure their orders were correct. I had the trout, with a garden salad, a skinny margarita, and a 19th Amendment drink. Everything I ordered was good. For dessert, I got the apple cobbler with ice cream and it was hot and fresh. Very tasty. This restaurant is located in the heart of downtown Covina and they have easy parking located adjacent to the restaurant. I will return to try their happy hour. Their hamburger and fries looked delicious and a lot of people ordered it. I will try it too next time. Decent-size menu with unique alcoholic drinks. The only thing I did not like was that they had only asparagus as a side vegetable. They need to add more vegetables to the menu and hire more workers. The live female musician who performs there every Wednesday was very good. She played several old-school hit songs along with her friends. Note: Hours are from 5pm to 930pm daily and happy hour 5pm to 630pm. Live musicians on Wednesdays which is very good. Indoor and Outdoor seating. read more

My husband and I have been coming to the Lincoln House for a few years now and we absolutely LOVE this place! The bartenders and servers are always kind, attentive, and make INCREDIBLE cocktails! They also have an extensive and impressive list of spirits to choose from and enjoy. Shoutout to Jennifer, one of their amazing bartenders, who is always SIMPLY THE BEST every time we come in. We praise the Lincoln House to family and friends for their consistency in delivering top notch customer service, delicious high quality food, cocktails, and the BEST HAPPY HOUR AROUND! Their cheeseburger is THE BEST IN LA, in my opinion, and ALWAYS on point! The owner told us they spent a long time perfecting their burger and it shows. *chef's kiss* We've ordered other items like their Ribeye steaks, appetizers, and a few other entrees and they were ALL delicious! But the burger is our personal favorite. We know we can always count on The Lincoln House for an amazing date night that is both relaxing and fun. We are grateful to have a neighborhood bar and restaurant that always makes us feel at home. Also, if you show up later on towards 7p they have great live music that is always amazing and a fun vibe! read more

I have fallen in love with this place so many times. Most recently, I brought a group of C-Level Execs here to connect over high-end cocktails at the Utility Room speakeasy, where we ate some tasty appetizers, and then retired outside in the front patio for some more cocktails and cigars. Definitely will be doing this again before the year is over! read more

This place is truly an experience that everyone should have. Then after you've experienced it, you can make it a part of your routine. The food is great, and the menu changes with the season, ensuring that you are always eating fresh ingredients cooked to perfection. It is family owned, and the owners take pride in service and food. The entertainment is always great. They have something for everyone as far as music is concerned. They have themed events sometimes and that is super cool! So now, my favorite part of this place, but shhhh.... it's a secret! They have a speakeasy that is an experience in and of itself. It's got beautiful trinkets in there that tell a unique story. Great craft cocktails are made just the way you like by a perfect mixologist named Marley! So run friends, don't walk to best place Covina has to offer for drinks, food and fun.

If you're deciding between The Lincoln House or Edna Vees like I was, I'll help you make the decision: I would vote for The Lincoln House. I tried both recently. The bartenders and servers at The Lincoln House are more hospitable and friendly. They give you a cocktail menu and a food menu as soon as you sit down. Edna Vees didn't do that for us. We were left on our own to try to figure out how to order or get any service. I tried the Pisco Sour at The Lincoln House. It was so much better than the margarita I ordered at Edna Vees. The bartender at The Lincoln House was warm and friendly. She checked on us regularly. I went on a Thursday night. They had a great live band. The vibe was cozy and inviting. Great place for a date or to catch up with family and friends. Less noisy than Edna Vees. I'll be visiting The Lincoln House regularly. Thanks for helping me narrow down my choices on where to take my business! read more
