The interior is realitivly small compared to other sports bars, but I think their focus is on of providing great tasting pizza and other food. They have a small collection of tap beers, but they had Blue Moon and Zipline Copper Alt two of our favs. Go for the thin crust ( Homemade) and enjoy the great pizza that Hastings was known for.

It has booths lining the walls that have been lovingly repaired many times over the years using the tried and true duct tape method. It has a pool table, fun and friendly locals (mixed in with the occasional bar fight) , a Touch Tunes juke box, beer signs that have been there for who knows how long, Sunshine Wheat Beer in a frosty mug for $1.50, and a wonderful owner named Virginia. This was my college gang's bar, and it could just be nostalgia talking but I love this place. Virginia, the owner, is a hardworking, sweet yet tough woman. She watched over us like a protective Grandmother, and even checked to see if we had finished our homework for the day before she brought us a pitcher of Sunshine. If you like dives and find yourself in Hastings, NE-go to The Olive, and say hi to Virginia for the gang and I. Things to know: Bring cash! No card machine here! There's a small parking lot and also plenty of meter free spots on the street. This place is pretty much a beer and simple mixed drink place. Don't expect to get any martinis, wine or fancy cocktails. Rum and Coke? Definitely. Cosmopolitan? Definitely not. The crowd in here can get a bit drunk and rowdy, but for the most part they are very nice and friendly. If you're looking for a quiet night out, I wouldn't suggest this place.

Sluggers is a hole-in-the-wall mid-sixties concrete block type of place (ie not impressive from outside), but they have really good char-burgers, steak sandwiches, Polish sausages--and an excellent selection of draft beers too--Guinness, Fat Tire, Boulevard, Blue Moon, Sam Adams. You can even get a bottle of VT hard cider, damn this place has it covered. A cool place to watch a game or play pool (2 tables) but it does a good lunch bizness and they are freakin friendly too.

Even though it sits right off I-80 in Grand Island, NE, the race-car theme inside gives it a fun, lively vibe, and the place itself was spotless, well-maintained, and very organized. We were promptly greeted by Ms. Heather, the hostess, who was polite, cheerful, and welcomed us with a sweet smile before leading us to a booth in Ms. Hailey's section. Ms. Hailey was bubbly, friendly, and incredibly efficient--no movement wasted. She took our drink and food orders and even repeated everything back to make sure it was perfect. My sister ordered the All-American Cheeseburger with bacon on a buttered, grilled brioche bun with lettuce, red onion, tomato, and dill pickles, plus a side of seasoned fries ($14.50). The fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and very tasty. I went with the Farmhouse Burger topped with melted American cheese and a fried egg ($18.00). The flavors were spot on and the egg was cooked perfectly, though the beef patty was just a bit dry. We also shared the Wings Snack ($8.50) and an order of Onion Rings ($5.50). The wings were cooked perfectly and full of flavor, though they were a little heavy on the BBQ sauce. The onion rings, however, were outstanding--super crispy, well-seasoned, and honestly the best onion rings I've ever had. Overall, this restaurant was a great experience. The staff was friendly, helpful, and very professional. If I ever find myself back in Nebraska, I will definitely be stopping here again.

It was a typical bar scene you would expect. I had the full size nachos and I added the beer cheese for a $1. It was good the jalapeños were very spicy haha, so if you like spice get the jalapeños, if not I would get them on the side. My daughter got the half order and it was still a decent size. I like the flavor of the meat and it was full of toppings. My wife and mom shared a large supreme pizza on thin crust. It was a smaller size pizza. To me it was more like the size of a medium. So if you are hungry or trying to share with more people I would get a couple or get some appetizers to start with. I did have a slice and it was good, it had a lot of toppings. It was a good place to go for a bite and drink if you are out of town and staying close by. I would recommend this place.

Had the pleasure of dining in Grand Island and was craving wings. Never found wings quite like…read morethis in Omaha so I was pretty happy to find the spot. The photo of the wings is a 6 count dirty reaper which came near the end of a 3 hour stay waiting on my colleague to pick me up from a family emergency. That was a 'to-go' box, but I literally finished it before I left bc I was excited to try the 2nd batch. When I first got in I ordered the side salad in the photo (which was only $3.50 including toppings btw) shortly after came my the first round of 6 dirty Alberta wings which I forgot to take a picture of. Wings were lightly battered, and came with an incredible glazed sauce - lightly sweet with a kick ( I swear they included a few 'Sweet Heat jalapeños' if you've ever bought a jar of those - kind of like cowboy candy jalapeños. Not as spicy as it sounds). The wings were served with a literal sauce bottle of ranch and a dipping cup so you could pour as much of it as you wanted. Later on, I got brave and ordered the Reaper flavor, which did not leave me sweating so I was a little let down tbh haha. Palatable for most people I'd say given the expectation. Bartenders kept my cup full and were mostly attentive, it was Saturday night so saw a variety of locals come and go. On a Saturday the price is $1.50 per wing before 6pm, I happened to arrive at like 6:30 so was a little disappointed that I didn't make it in time. 6 wings were $10 but plus the salad was about $13.50 not including tax. Not bad - the alcohol adds up though. Spent over 3 hours by myself and came out to about $50 for the evening. Overall would return in a heartbeat from the prices and serving size alone in today's economy from what I saw on the rest of the menu. Plenty of opportunity to meet other people if you're social on a weekend night.
