It's not very big and the people weren't super welcoming at first. Drinks were pricey even for basic ones (which is to be expected off of Main area). After some time the bartenders became more friendly and gave some great recommendations. It wasn't too busy as it was a random weekday. So not sure how the vibe is on the weekend. I would give this spot another try on a special occasion.

The band playing was setting a fun, funky vibe, and the crowd was getting down. This place proves you can have classy and a bit wild at the same time. I loved the little lounge areas with vintage chairs and beautiful decor. Word of mouth gets around fast, and I see why my neighbor keeps inviting me to this spot. She has good taste and knows where to go drama free. This is a great spot for females to feel safe to go solo or bring your crew. The surrounding customers and staff were friendly and fun. I will return soon and try out some other options.

This place absolutely nails the vibe, an incredible selection of wines, a great lineup of beers, and a laid-back atmosphere that makes you want to stay way longer than you planned. The live music is hands-down the best in Fredericksburg, and the patio? Easily the coolest, most relaxing spot in town to unwind with a drink and good company. Whether you're a wine lover, beer fan, or just looking for the perfect place to kick back after a long day of exploring, Lincoln Street Wine Bar delivers every single time. Friendly staff, great energy, amazing music, and an unbeatable patio, what more could you ask for? 10/10 recommend. This will be a must-stop every time I'm in Fredericksburg.

I really enjoy their Old Fashioned and their version of a New Orleans Sazerac cocktail. Plus one is equally impressed with their Espresso Martini.

But it is well worth the wait! This is great upscale alternative on Main St.

The two stars is NOT for the piano player Pierson Keating, who is great, for whom I would give 5 Stars. For clarification I have had a total of 3 glasses of wine since noon and it's currently 7 o'clock and I am writing this review as I am leaving. I have a strong understanding of TABC rules and regulations, and this question was misplaced and pretty rude. Pierson, the pianist, asked my group to sing a song we requested because he was unsure of the lyrics, then the staff asked the group to sit down. Not sure if this place is catered to the older crowd or just not accustomed to having girls who like to have a good time, but I wouldn't come back here if you payed me. Staff 2.7/10. Food 6.7/10.

So great to see they treat both locals and new guys with the same kindness and respect. When I asked if there was a jukebox by chance the guy (I believe Skylar) said "No but what do you want to hear?" I asked for some Stevie Nicks and he said no problem. I didn't expect any of that and was overjoyed to hear some Stevie over the speakers. What cool people here! The patrons at the front gave me recommendations on good spots and were very welcoming. I ended up with a Spicy Italian. This one had a nice kick but not overpowering and a generous size along with some coleslaw and a pickle. I couldn't quite finish it all. I'm kicking myself for forgetting my left overs. Oh well, that's a great excuse to go back and enjoy this awesome food/vibe all over again.

I sat at the bar and ordered a burger and fries, chicken wings, and onion rings. They had one cook, and he was pretty cool. This was definitely a "locals" bar, but the staff made me feel comfortable. The food took a while to come out, but when it did, it was fresh and hot. Everything tasted ok, but the burger and onion rings, which had been recommended by the bartender, were really good. The bar was well stocked, and the beer was cold. They had plenty of patio seating, and they host live music. The bar area and the bathrooms are in need of some TLC. Parking on Main Street can be a challenge. I went the next day to have a burger and onion rings, but they were out of onion rings. I settled for seasoned fries, which were ok.

Our food was reasonable. We ordered 15 wings, three sauce flavors. Our friends ordered pickles and…read moreonion rings. Portion size was average on all. We ordered blue cheese with the wings and got ranch. Our celery was probably previously frozen as we could bend it together and touch each end without it breaking! Told the server about this when we asked for new sauces. He replied, sorry... he took the two unopened sauces and brought two blue cheese out. Not replacing the third. I know it's petty, but I did not realize that my water would come in a bottle, with no ice. I asked for ice he brought it out. I also asked if there was a charge for the bottle of water. He said yes. It would've been nice to know that before I ordered. We were very surprised at the end when we asked him if we could get two checks for our table, he shared with us he couldn't, it had to be on one rather than cause a scene we decided to deal with it. At the end, we ask if we could get a receipt, he shared the best he could do is to let us come up and take a picture of the screen. Little bit disappointed in the entire experience as we are here from the state of Ohio and had hoped for a bit of a different experience. Overall, your outside service area was well done with plenty of room for seating and it was a nice touch having the haters.
