    Girls night
    Heather S.

    Great ambiance, yummy drinks. Bartenders were awesome to talk to. Sad I didn't know about it sooner! Allegedly it's haunted!

    Quality Cocktails

    I never give 5 stars. Giving 5 stars here! Bartenders are remarkable, drinks are exceptional.

    Clover club
    Beth T.

    One of my new favorite places to grab a drink! I love the fun menu, and my clover club was only $11 which is very reasonable for a craft cocktail It is a bit small, but since they limit the number of people allowed in I've been able to find a comfortable seat both times I've been. I'd absolutely recommend checking it out if you're looking for a spot to grab a drink downtown.

    The bar and the front entrance.

    Very neat little bar with lots of character. Many unique drinks to select from as well as traditional mixed and wines. Well worth checking out.

    Great craft cocktails and friendly bartenders. Little Nebraska history in the hay market. Would recommend checking it out.

    What amazing service and excellent bartenders. I recommend highly this speakeasy. Drinks are an art form. Cash only smaller venue.

    A better version of the other room and alchemy. Great owners who are always polite and engaging. Drinks are some of the best in Lincoln.

It was a gorgeous night so it was great being outside. The place was busy but we had no issues getting drinks in a timely manner. They also had a food vendor in the courtyard selling hot dogs and pretzels. I recommend stopping by!

    My sister, who was the only Black woman in the space at the time, accidentally bumped into another…read moreguest who was wearing a medical boot. She immediately apologized several times with genuine care and concern. Instead of accepting the apology or simply walking away, the woman responded harshly, telling my sister to "get out of my face." That interaction alone left my sister feeling deeply uncomfortable and targeted. Feeling shaken and outnumbered, she called me and our other sisters for support. When we arrived to understand what had happened, we were calm and simply trying to get the full story. That's when things took a turn for the worse. The woman's boyfriend looked right at one of the workers and said, "get these f***ers out of here." Moments later, an employee named William Wilson grabbed my arm so aggressively that he left a bruise. He physically pushed us out--me, my sisters, and even some of our friends and coworkers who had nothing to do with the incident. Eleven of us were thrown out without anyone asking for our side of the story. Meanwhile, the woman and her group, who were loud, aggressive, and clearly at the center of the confrontation, were allowed to stay. They continued drinking, playing games, and enjoying their night like nothing had happened. It's hard not to see the racial bias in how everything was handled. We were treated like a problem, not like people. We weren't heard, we weren't respected, and we were physically harmed and humiliated just for standing up for our sister and trying to understand what was going on.

We definitely had low expectations for a basement bar, but it was actually really great! Food was good (not high quality) and the drinks were quick.

We didn't know what to expect from an underground bar with $4 margaritas in a college town, but it was a fun place! They have darts, arcades, a huge jenga, and other games available to play. There's a big bar in the center and another small one by the arcade games. They have some good food and drink deals for happy hour and late night. Food was okay, nothing to come here for, but good if you need a nosh while you drink. They had a walking taco, which surprised me! The bar selection was surprising, they have good bourbon like Eagle Rare, Blanton's, and Weller and top shelf liquors of other kinds too. Bathrooms were okay, the toilet seat on one of the toilets was wobbly so that would be a bad situation if you've had too much to drink! It also smelled weird, but again it's a basement bar in a college town so I'll pick my battles.
