Vibrant New American Gastropub, The Lincoln, Opening in Napa this Summer
Napa, CA (PRWEB) July 12, 2023 -- There’s a new go-to destination for all those looking for casual dining and entertainment in Napa - The Lincoln, an elevated new American gastropub, will open on July 21, 2023. The dynamic concept will offer a full range of inspired cocktails, fresh twists on classic fare, and weekend brunch, all with views of the Napa River. Its late-night hours and walk-in availability will make it a convenient option for locals and visitors alike.
“Our team is dedicated to the art and craft of hospitality,” said Michael LeBlanc, proprietor, The Lincoln. “We saw an opportunity in Napa for a casual destination that offers not only delicious food and great drinks, but also an environment where people can really unwind. Our goal was to design a dining space that embodies the ideal setting for an enjoyable Friday night with friends. We aimed for a relaxed atmosphere, while ensuring that our culinary offerings and service reflect the sophisticated flavors and exceptional standards that we appreciate as consumers in Napa.”
Executive Chef Leo V. Varos, Jr. developed a menu anchored around American classics. Highlights include Honey Sriracha Salmon Lollipops, the Superfood Salad, and Short Ribs with Potatoes Au Gratin, along with fun twists, like Hash Mac – Chef Leo’s hash browns topped with signature mac n’ cheese. Brunch service will begin mid-summer, with favorites like Fried Chicken & Waffles with Sriracha Honey Drizzle, Warmed Donut Holes, Smash Burger with Fried Egg and, of course, a signature Bloody Mary.
The beverage program emphasizes local beer, wine and spirits. Bourbon, tequila and mezcal cocktails are the highlight, along with a rotating menu of gin, vodka and barrel-aged cocktails. There will be an array of captivating zero-proof choices that showcase the essence of the Napa region through locally sourced ingredients. With more than 75% of the featured draft beers hailing from around the Bay Area, as well as wines from Napa, Sonoma, Paso Robles and the Central Valley, the drink menu features a diversity of regional flavors.
“I’ve worked with restaurants around the Bay Area to create energetic, engaging spaces where people want to stay and linger. That’s the same kind of energy I’m excited to bring to Napa,” said Adam Snyder, restaurateur, The Lincoln. “The Lincoln is more than just a restaurant, it's a community gathering place. We’ve designed every aspect with a relaxing atmosphere in mind. The comfortable vibe, large patio, and space for larger groups, make it a place for locals and visitors alike to gather.”
Inside, the look is sleek yet rich and cozy. Brought to life by Napa native Haley Shackford, owner and founder of House a Home Interior Design Studio, a bolted stainless-steel bar and floor-to-ceiling fireplace immediately capture attention. Beautifully textured walls, touches of brass, and dark wood beams provide a relaxed, speakeasy vibe while natural light pours in from the tall sliding glass doors.
Overlooking the Napa River, the broad outdoor patio features fire pits and engaging outdoor games. Grab friends and family for an impromptu afternoon (or late night) round of Oversized Jenga, Connect Four, Corn Hole, or Ping Pong.
The Lincoln is located at 505 Lincoln Ave, Napa, adjacent to Ace & Vine. Opening hours are 3 p.m. to 2 a.m., Wednesday through Sunday.
