40 Best Bars in Lincoln

“My husband threw me a surprise birthday party here. Highly recommend! Can’t say enough great things about the owner. He’s so kind, very professional and makes you feel extremely welcomed! Message him to have your next party here! Thank you so much for providing such a warm and welcoming space! Our guests had a great time & loved it too! And I love all the local art too!!😍 thank you so much again!!😊“

“Place is awesome!“

“The AI generated summary says that the pretzel feeds 3-4 people but I humbly challenge that. I can nearly eat one of these by myself. It's a whopping $22 but probably unrolls to about 3ft of pretzel, and is one of, if not the best pretzel and cheese I've had.

The house brews aren't my favorite but there are various options to choose from.“

“I recently had to move my pup into an apartment so we have been coming here and my dog loves it. hes made so many friends and everyone here is a dog lover and so nice. I honestly wish I had thought of coming here sooner.“

“Friendly, and fun place! Check out Trivia Night!“

“Long haired bouncer kicked me out for sleeping.

Heard that the long haired bouncer will kick you out if you’re sleeping in the bar so I decided I would go test this theory and he didn’t disappoint! Will absolutely be back again ❤️“

“Great vibe from like minded music lovers.“

“I'm in Lincoln for a month working, staying at the candlewood suites and am so glad to have this place right by . Such great people , and the selection of beers and spirits is top notch. 5/5 frosty beer mugs!“

“Elora was a great waitress, she went out of her way to take care of the six of us including a 4 and 6 year old. My wife and I think she is one of the best we have had in our experience at restaurants. Then food was very good. We highly recommend this place. We will be coming back.“

“Great place for a drink. Staff is always friendly.“

“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.“

“Alicia is a great bartender 👌 Always so welcoming and friendly. I can walk in alone as a woman and feel confident that I'm taken care of and watched over. She's so personable and fun. 💛🌼 The atmosphere is great. I've not had the food as I get off work late. Great beer selection and drinks. This is such a great, go to, local dive bar. Tip Alicia good, if you have the honor, of her bartending service. She deserves it! Also come visit us at Charred Burger + Bar.“

“Best Mai Tai in town! They use an old recipe and it is definitely worth a try. We'll be back to have another one.“

“Was looking for a place to unwind after work. Wanted something with lower energy. Found exactly that at Harry's Wonder Bar. A smaller group of people, drinks were priced way better than I was expecting. I'll definitely be returning here more often. All three bartenders were incredibly nice and helpful. Clean bathrooms.5/5 experience“

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