Best of the best. Working in town from west coast. Great drinks. Great prices. Can’t beat the atmosphere and the bar tender & patrons are the most friendly I’ve ever come across at a bar.

I enjoy the bar alright. It is their behavior towards the change in bus policy that I strongly dislike. Per a recent news article it sounds like they just dislike poor people aka bus riders. I happen to be a bus rider. And it is statements like theirs that make me not want to return to the business. "This affects the lowest hanging fruit?" That is not the businesses, it is the poor bus riders who rely on the buses to get too and from work who have had their stops changed multiple times over the last few years. Statements like those and appealing to the city council to have the stops moved again to "ensure your businesses" is ridiculous.

Yea the name fits. Walked in the door this guy runs at us not bothering to say hello or welcome. Asks to see ID. I get that it’s the law, but I felt like It was very aggressive. I asked for a whisky sour lite on the whisky. I was given a freaking whisky coke double the whisky. The bartender seemed annoyed that we were there. Would not recommend.

Love this bar's vibe. All are welcome--except a-holes. Groovy little neighborhood bar.

I just moved to Lincoln and this was one of the first places I went. Every time I go I have a great time, the atmosphere is cool and eclectic, and the staff are the coolest. 10/10 recommend.

I like the eccentric quirky style, music and pool table, this place has been a long standing favorite of mine. I love to see the changes throughout the years and I feel at ease when I’m here.

Seems to be a bartender issue here. If you order anything other than a beer, it's going to be made wrong and served in the wrong glass, etc. Don't expect it to be fixed or even acknowledged, either.Plenty of places to go where they know how to make a drink and won't insult you for expecting a basic level of accuracy and human decency.Hot mess indeed.
