“Always a good time at this bar. I dont make it around as much as I would like to anymore. Shoutout to Kelsey for having THC Seltzers and plenty of other consumables ready to go.

“I wanted to take the burden of cooking off the hands of my DIL and Son and surprise them with dinner delivery last night. I ordered two different soups, Wisconsin Cheese and Chili with a couple of bread bowls. A French Dip sandwich to share along with a salad and two chocolate chip cookies. Scheduled delivery for 4:00. Door Dash delivery (Sara) was right on time. DIL and Son were pleasantly surprised by the delivery. They absolutely loved the entire meal!! The ease of ordering from out of town was seamless. Door Dash delivery was spot on a cold and blustery day. I would highly recommend Bison Witch! Great experience + great food = Return customers 👏👏“

Beer battered fries were unique, crisp, & perfectly seasoned. We'll be back soon to try more menu items and relax in the chill vibe atmosphere.“

Clean bathrooms.5/5 experience“

Highly recommend this bar for a wonderful karaoke experience!“

“I had my daughters birthday party here. The owner gave me a great deal! the space is large great for big parties or you can use less tables for small parties! Has a nice size dance floor as well. the party turned out great! Last year we had a big baby shower here as well. plenty of space. the party was lots of fun. this would be a great space for a wedding reception as well. I highly recommend using this business for parties!“

“Tina and other staff helped get our wedding block situated at the Embassy and we stayed in a suite for the weekend for getting ready and the night of our wedding! Thanks for making us feel so special and making the process so smooth! We appreciated working with you all!“

“Comfortable relaxing atmosphere. Great drinks, cold beer & friendly owner & staff. Not to mention pool, darts and Keno. I know I'll be back. 👍😎👍“

“Great new space! Sun too much even this time of year, no shade on deck. Can't imagine if it were summer. Good selection of beer.“

“Some nights there are covers but typically doesn't exceed $10. Pretty inclusive space for the LGBTQIA+ community. I love the local drag talent that performs there! They also have a baby drag talent night at least once a month for new performers that want to get some experience. The drag artists that I've met there are great people, even outside of drag. In addition to drag performances, they regularly host watch parties, karaoke nights, etc. Das has really improved the ambiance since I first started going there. There is a small seating area off the bar and additional tables in the stage area, but ultimately not enough seating for the amount of attendees, so you may expect to stand. The bar is fully stocked but it often takes a long time to get served because there is not enough staff for the crowds (at least when I've attended). Very fun place to be on a weekend“

“We hosted a surprise retirement open house at Leighton's Pub on September 26th and had a fantastic event! Payton was wonderful to work with from the first phone call to paying the invoice. She was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful during all stages of planning our event. Our servers Maddie and Alex were wonderful as well and so attentive. The food was very good and the presentation was perfect. The party room provided great ambiance for our guests. I highly recommend Leighton's Pub and their staff for future events you may be planning.“

“I don't even drink and I hang out here because it is the best and most inclusive place/ bar/ art gallery in Lincoln! they are always doing things to give back to the community! Sarena makes the BEST Shirley Temple's in the world <3 Love this place so much!“

“Fantastic bar with fun bartenders! We were there for happy hour and Christian greeted us with a big smile, positive attitude, and fun personality! Mike came for a shift exchange and he was made the night fun too! We will absolutely stop by again the next time we are in Lincoln!“

“Best karaoke bar period. I’ve been going here since I turned 21, and never had a bad experience. Staff is always friendly and personable, and always a good hang. Great place to bring your pals for some singing! Bar staff treats you like family here.“

“Good frog 🐸 sperm and the bar was nice aesthetics“

“Kaydee was simply thee best!!! This is the 1st 5 star review we have left in the better part of 18 months. The food was impeccable, the cocktails nearly perfect and the service by Kaydee beyond reproach!! Our new favorite place and we dont live here. Try it...you will not regret it!“

“This is a wonderful place to spend an evening or afternoon with your friends enjoying conversation with each other. The staff is excellent, the service is very good, and the entire place is extremely clean. We have visited there several times and always found a very friendly crowd, well-dressed well-manicured staff and impeccably clean restrooms.“

“I phoned a week before the date we wanted to make reservation. Trevor was very nice and said I could reserve a long table for up to 15 guests. I verified number of guests and called a couple days before arriving on the 24th to confirm the number attending. We were very impressed with Trevor and the quality of food was outstanding.. I had the beer macaroni and cheese and loved it. A couple people had Rueben's and were equally impressed. Burgers and chicken strips were large. I was impressed with nice side salad. The salmon was beautifully plated too. Highly recommend coming to the Mettle Grill. You will not be disappointed The only downside was the chairs were very heavy and if you put gliders on chair legs it would make it easier for an older group to move the chairs. Trevor was very pleasant and efficient. Will definitely return.“

“Come play pool on 1 of the 3 tables“

“This place is a total breath of fresh air! I hardly ever go out any more because prices are always high and food is disappointing. Went to Piedmont Bistro today with a friend and honestly we couldn't stop talking about how good the food was. 10/10!! also very nice servers.“

“Always so good and relaxing!“

“The food is fabulous and the staff is amazing. Great service from the hostess, servers and all the way up to the general manager. we will definitely be back many more times.“

“The food here is absolutely amazing! I had the combination plate and it was some of the best Mexican I've had in Lincoln. Highly recommend.“

“In a word, I would describe it as amazing!“
