Bars near Fort Calhoun

“Great wings with Jdubbs sauce. Can not go wrong with that sauce combo. It's got a kick but not spicy. My favorite also drink prices are very fair. Check them out anytime there is always a great deal going on at lunch time and dinner time.“

“Well if this isn't a small town bar right off 680 North in Ft. Calhoun. Our family lives near by and we took over the patio for my MIL birthday. It's a dark but inviting bar when you walk in, a long narrow row of tables on one side and your stndard bar on the other. A larger space holds games, and more seating. The claw machine has a particularly strong grip, and I was able to win TWO animals for my kiddos. We had a great service for a party of 15 on the patio. We started with ice cold mini pitchers of beer, and then on to the food. The burger was great, and I loved the chicken thinly sliced on top of our salads. We finished the night with lemon drop shots, and dancing on the spacious patio. George, whoever he maybe, the owner, a regular, a stranger off the street, brought over a cupcake for my MIL and kids cups filled with candy for my two kids. It was a fantastic evening and I know we'll come back.“

“Favorite Hangout... back in the 70's! Went to HS in Missouri Valley and had a horribly made fake ID, which was used regularly at Papa Joes. The owner, Dean Dewaele, founded it in the early 70's? Just looked him up and unfortunately he passed away in 2012. Back then, Papa Joe's had live bands when Led Zeppelin, The Who, BTO, Black Sabbath, Chicago, Yes, and many more ruled. Smoke filled stage, lots of long hair, and Levis jean jackets. It was quite the happening place 50 years ago, and I'm happy it's still going strong today.“

“Stopped in today for lunch. The place was pretty busy, but we were greeted immediately and found a table. We sat down, got our drinks, placed our order, and had the food all in less than 15 minutes during the lunch rush. The burger was fresh, HUGE, had plenty of toppings on the side, and it came with a good serving of tots. Everything tasted great and I was surprised how low the cost was for quality food. I'll definitely make this a new go-to for a great burger at the same price as most would spend going through a drive-thru.“

“First time visiting for my hubby's birthday. We will be back for sure but won't get the Prime Melt Sandwich. That is the only reason for a 4 star on this review. He said the aujus sauce was over salty. Now for the things you MUST have when going... Chips & Queso and Fried Chicken - AMAZING! The chips for the queso were not store bought but homemade and came out freshly hot and were just out of this world. The fried chicken was hot, fresh, juicy, and just delicious. Our server was crazy busy... running bar, keno, taking orders and taking phone orders, and doing it all with a peppy smile and genuine care for everyone.Highly recommended!“

“Warehouse Grille and Drinkery in Bennington, NE, is truly a hidden gem that I'm thrilled to have discovered. It's tucked away in a place that mimics a warehouse, but inside, you'll find a treasure trove of culinary delights, all at affordable prices, and they don't skimp on the strong adult beverages either. I've explored quite a bit of their menu, and let me tell you, nothing misses the mark.Their chicken dinner? Boom! The pizza? Delicious. And those wings? Love them. But wait, they even have burritos - yes, I said burritos, and not just one kind, but a variety to choose from. The menu is vast, so you can throw a dart and order whatever it lands on, knowing it'll be a satisfying treat.The service here always has that small-town feel, done just right. It's a fantastic place to enjoy a meal with the family. I love the backstory too - their journey began in 2010 when owners David & Jill Nelson set out to create a community-minded restaurant & sports bar that everyone in Bennington and the neighboring cities could enjoy. It's evident they've succeeded, and I'm thankful for this local gem. Warehouse Grille and Drinkery, you've got a loyal fan in me!“
