My wife and I were walking through the Haymarket, saw that vintage sign with the couple in the…read moreorange cocktail attire, and immediately knew we had to go downstairs. Best impulse decision of the night. The Starlite Lounge does not feel like 2026 Lincoln. It feels like you stepped into a 1960s lounge that somehow never closed. The lighting, the furniture, the whole atomic-era look--it all works. Smooth jazz was playing, the room had that intimate, slightly smoky-club energy without being loud or chaotic, and the cocktails were the real deal. Not just pretty drinks. Properly made, balanced, and clearly built by people who care. We weren't there for a photo op. We were there for the feel, the music, and a couple of well-made drinks. It delivered on every count. Romantic without being stuffy. Cool without trying too hard. If you're in downtown Lincoln and you want something that actually transports you instead of another generic bar, walk down the stairs. Highly recommended. We'll be back.

What a step back in time and a great nostalgic bar!…read more The pricing for the drinks seemed great and even some of the bourbon selection pours were worth it. I am definitely particular about my martinis. They crushed it on a gin martini - stirred, not shaken & vermouth rinsed - with a twist. Was perfectly done! We also tried a vodka one...was a 4 out of 5. Overall: great place to go and get drink with some friends! Will definitely be back.

We were just opposite the road and this caught our eye. We had to come check it out German bier is delish. It was a chill place with lots of seating available. They have a variety of beer. We found Tucher beer tastes like we remembered it. We ordered a pretzel - fresh from the oven. Absolutely delish. We will be back. Felt like we were back in Germany in a bierhaus in Germany. Also found out that bierhaus maisschäler stood for beer house cornhusker. This is probably going to be another of our favourite haunts!! Geh große Rot!!!!!

I've been to a few Husker games at Memorial Stadium, and been to The Railyard on a game day a few…read moretimes as well, and let me tell you - being at the Railyard on a game day is the next best thing to actually being in the stadium. The hustle and bustle of the crowd in The Railyard is full of excitement and camaraderie. You watch the games on giant screens hung around The Railyard, and each time the Huskers score or make a great play, the crowd erupts and you may get a drink or two splashed on or around you in the hubbub (just part of the fun, get ready to get dirty and stepped on). Speaking of spilled drinks, that is one plus of watching a game at The Railyard vs. in person at the stadium - there are plenty of alcoholic drinks to enjoy, if that's your thing - and plenty of restaurants and bars around for nonalcoholic drinks and snacks too. You don't have to stick to Dr. Pepper and Valentinos here! (Memorial Stadium did recently lift their ban on alcohol sales in the stadium but that won't be in effect for a while, and you will pay an arm and a leg.) My husband actually had his bachelor party at The Railyard, watching a game and then hitting a few nearby bars. He said it was a great way to spend a day with his pals, and would recommend doing that to anyone who's a Husker fan, looking for a more chill bachelor party idea. You can eat at one of The Railyard restaurants with a patio and watch the game on the giant screens that way, or find a spot with your group and stake your claim in the middle of the yard (don't worry, it's concrete, not grass). Whichever way you decide to do it, I definitely say you should catch a game at The Railyard for the unique experience!

When you go in there and order a drink like a whiskey and Coke they charge you for a double which was $17, if you do not tell them I want a single. They automatically charge you for a double.
