“I came here a week ago and can’t believe I’ve never been before! The atmosphere is very calming and I think it would be a great place for studying. I went here with my grandma for lunch and it was a wonderful place to sit and talk.I loved their coffee, and I’m pretty picky with coffee. Their espresso had a nice taste and my latte was beautifully made. The avocado toast I had was most definitely the best avo toast I’ve ever had. The seasoning was great, you could tell the avocado was fresh and the egg on top was also wonderful.The service was nice as well, and the people behind the counter were very kind and efficient. Lovely place that I recommend!“

“We really upped our cocktail skills during The 'Rona and now Pour is one of the few places in Lincoln that makes a better one. Add to that the two dozen taps of great beer that could be from anywhere in the world, and this southeast Lincoln bar is one of the best in town.Parking: You can use the space out front shared with other businesses, but the regulars use the larger back lot and come in the back door.Wheelchair accessibility: This is a ground-level business with ADA curbs and doors.“

“Best of small town bar feel within the big city. Best bar food and at a bar price. Great service and staff. Only 4 stars on atmosphere because small town bars aren’t supposed to have 5 stars. That would ruin the feel! Definitely will be back!!!! So glad we gave it a try.“

Bartender was pretty awesome and they had some Merch available. Wasn't sure how I'd feel with a bunch of drunk people but it was pretty under control. Lol. Must be because we were all old. Hahaha.

“First time trying this place. I was impressed with the atmosphere. I am simple & don't appreciate loud music blaring. This place was quiet & seating was not crowded to where you're elbow to elbow with your table neighbor. Our server was very new & did a good job with this being her first job of this nature. *Kudos's Santanna. The portion size to be honest, was surprisingly nice. The menu is not over bearing with decent choices. The cost for a family of four with a "dad beer" & soft drinks didn't break the bank. I would go into detail of our food choices but this would be super long and boring. I will mention their bread pudding is delicious. I recommend trying it and getting an order to go as well. Yummy!. I will be going back & trying other menu items!!“

They didn't try to rush us or push us out considering they were already closed. Only reason I rated them a 4/5 is because the margarita was a little too thick and on the syrupy side. I will definitely be back“

The indoor part of the bar itself is pretty small but being able to take your beverage out into the courtyard is the best part of this place. No beer on tap but they have a decent beer selection.Outside they have some tables with propane heaters so if the weather changes you can have a nice fire going.“

The number of speciality mules they have is so fun, and the decor is perfect for the space. I called ahead to see if they’d host an engagement party for a larger group (on a weeknight) & they were super accommodating. One of likely few locations that won’t charge a fee.

Let's start with I was SHOCKED!!!Bourbon was of course amazing. Confirmed. Had a barrel mule (Kentucky mule /bourbon mule if you don't know what that is). Fantastic.Food. Honestly, one of the better steaks I've had at restaurant. In the top 10 for sure. I'm a steak snob. Usually, I'm disappointed when I get restaurant steak. Single Barrel delivered! The sirloin was amazing. Ordered Medium Rare. On point!! Side salad was delicious. As was the mashed potatoes with the sirloin.Service was great. Everything about it. I'd recommend and come back.“
