Stopped in for some cold beverages and happy hour snacks with a friend and had a good time. They have lots of seating options and it looks like they can accommodate larger groups. They have a few arcade games, a pool table, and board games. They make some fun lemonade flavors with or without alcohol that were a nice touch! Lots of happy hour appetizer options that were all large portions. I really liked the cheesy bread, you might need an extra marinara though! read more

LEIGHTON'S PUB IS CLOSED. There's a new sports bar in its location (Let it Fly) that is really struggling. They're very short on staff and it appears the management needs to do more marketing. It has potential in an area that could really use a good sports bar, but if they don't turn it around soon they won't make it. read more

There is linited parking space here. Be forewarned. So we had a rocky start here. We waited to be seated and were brought to the other bar on the other side of the restaurant. Main restaurant was bustling and busy. We were seated at a high top with bar chairs. My husband has a bad back and cannot stand the high chairs. So we requested to be reseated at the regular table. There was only one other couple who left. And so there was no one else around. Bartender said matter of factly that we were only two people and we cannot take up a 6 seater. So hubby requested to move back to the main restaurant. There is a variety of seating available. Booths, regular tables and Hightop seating throughout the restaurant. Whilst walking to the other side of the restaurant - south bar there are some arcade games available along the way. General manager did great service recovery. And I want to commend JT on that. At the main restaurant we did get much better service. All that aside, we did get pretty prompt service and a good time with our server. I didn't get her name but she was absolutely lovely. We noticed JT walking around checking on every table. - that's good service right there. We had a huge lunch earlier in the day and the hubs wasn't feeling very well. So we ordered fish and chips and a salad to share. Salad was fresh and came as asked. We had the dressing on the side. Everything was fresh and delicious. As we were asking for the dessert menu, we got a surprise. JT had gotten us a creme brulee to complete our meal. Thank you for that. It turned an initial sour start to a wonderful experience. We will be back. read more

Such a great place! Good food and drinks. Fun sports bar atmosphere. Don't worry they play other stuff too! My favorite thing is the crab Rangoon pizza. So craveable! I've had it 3 times already. Also tried a few flavors of wings. The blackberry one was the best. Their long islands are amazing! I hope nothing changes. :) read more

Name has changed to Leighton's Pub. Service is still very good with a nice atmosphere. Menu has been shortened quite a bit, most of the menu items we liked from before have been removed, good beer selection, about average price for pub food, Everything overall was good, read more

As a vegetarian, I wanted to leave a review here for my fellow veggies who are brought here by their friends! The Mac and Cheese is definitely a tasty option, just take out the meat. If your friend is a meat eater (which they probably are if you are here) then just be generous and give them some extra protein haha :P The Margarita is decent, I didn't upgrade my tequila, so it was quite run of the mill when it came to the tequila. BUT they had a variety of flavor options, including Lavender, which is what I tried! The variety of flavors is nice, and the lavender did some through without being too strong. Personally, a strong lavender flavor makes me want to go to bed, so a balance of the lime and lavender is key to keeping the night going. Our server had to be asked twice to bring out silverware, even after the food arrived. As a server myself, I understand that the patio can result in less attentive service as it's further from your section, but it would have been thoughtful to bring it initially, or after requested. The Mac and Cheese did have a great kick to it that was a great touch to a typical dish. Definitely allowed me to feel like I hadn't ordered a kids meal, as the flavor was elevated. read more

Leighton's Pub - Buffalo Mac & Cheese Side Caesar Salad - Pubs Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

I've had the pizza and pasta! Both taste good, the pizza crust was alright but not my favorite! I preferred the pasta.

Delicious fresh beef. Every time I come they provide great customer service, they always make sure we have drinks, and get our food out quickly. They use fresh, locally raised beef in their burgers and they always hit the spot. It not terribly expensive unlike other restaurants, it cost about $40 per 2 people. It's usually pretty quiet, and there's plenty of space between tables to walk, the outside has a nice flower bed, and overall it's a really pretty restaurant. I've brought a lot of friends and family to try Leighton's and they always love it. read more

It was fine, newer than average for the area but not exactly better. Clean and modern but not like special or quality. Reasonable and would repeat if in the area but wouldn't generally choose to do again. read more

Terrible burnt food! Service was good and the ambience was good. Was not worth the price at all. Don't recommend my bill was $120 for food that was below anyone's standards read more

Gave them another chance on a whim and the food was bland, oversalted, not fully cooked (not dangerously raw just not done). I will continue to stay away. read more

Leighton's Pub - Melon cocktail - Pubs Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

We were very disappointed transition from Lincoln's Pub to Leighton's Pub. We placed an online ordered for a 12 in-3 meat pizza. The flavor of the meat was good, but it lacked sauce and cheese resulting in a dry pizza. Upon arrival for pick-up, the hostess asked us to pay for the pizza after paying for it online. The hostess persisted on paying in-store until checking on their ordering system. read more

Look at reviews dated in the last 7 months - since this has switched from Lincolns Pub to Leighton's Pub, it has gone way downhill. I've been here since they first opened and through all of their NUMEROUS changes. Not one of those changes has been for the better. Do you like beer? This place isn't for you. Their draft selection is LACKING. Do you like cocktails? Their selection is impressive but they miss the mark every time. Bloody Mary's are all ice with a garnish of a line wedge and olive. In this climate, it's so easy to elevate that Bloody Marty to something instagramable. Let's talk about food. We ordered off the brunch menu. "We don't have that" was the snippy reply. But it's on the menu. "That menu is outdated". It's a laminated print out. Change it. Can I get my omelet with fruit (that is comes with on the menu)? No. They don't have fruit. Strawberry milkshake (also on the menu) - nope only chocolate and vanilla. Served with whipped cream. Except they are out of that too. All in all whoever owns this should just say "yeah I don't care about this restaurant" and shut it down. Both of our waitresses were cranky and short with us. And the most egregious foul this place has committed is not having Miller Lite. WHO DOESNT HAVE MILLER LITE read more

Leighton's Pub - This is the brunch menu. Good luck with them having them anything in stock. - Pubs Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

I really like the atmosphere and style of this place! It's new, modern, and clean. The wood fire pizza is good, we got a 16 inch half Hawaiian and half baby Bella. I liked the menu and and it's creativity. The artichoke dip was also tasty! The staff was all so friendly and our order came out pretty quick considering how busy they were. I would recommend this new modern pizzeria! read more

Leighton's Pub was amazing for our daughter's Sunday afternoon 21st birthday celebration! They helped us plan a fully gluten-free menu with a variety of pizzas, wings, salad, and a dip trio--everything was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind throughout the process. We used the Huntington Hideaway for our 25 guests, and it felt cozy and private--like hosting at home. Highly recommend for great food, service, and atmosphere! read more

What an unfortunate day and on Mothers Day, my husband order fish and chips and honestly could have gotten better in my air fryer. My mom order mac and cheese as a side and it cold....we politely sent it back. Although they brought a large replacement bowl, it was luke warm at best. When you spend $130 for a meal, it should be decent. People save money and go elsewhere! I did not want to confront the manager as it is mother day with my family, super disappointed! read more

This is not our first time here. In the past, I've had the wood fired pizza, trying the Margherita and the Meatball pizza. The crust is good and I think that the toppings are adequate. I've also ordered the Goodfella sandwich, which I thought was delicious. Tonight I just ordered the cheesy bread and The Notorious, their excellent bread pudding. I love their bread pudding! It's wonderful. I should also comment that I ordered an old fashioned with bourbon and although they didn't have my choice of bourbon (Woodford), the old fashioned was well made and very good. I recommend trying Lincoln Pub. read more

Need to have more servers with better people skills. Sever was very blunt and stand offish. Blatantly rude to be honest. Payton get a new job. Maybe earn your tip that 20% gratuity was not earned!! read more

We went for lunch and had sandwiches. The Club sandwich and the Cuban sandwich were great tasting. The bread was called wood fired. The sandwiches were large and the fries were hot and delicious. The next day we went with friends for the evening meal. Everything was disappointing. The shrimp entree was only three shrimp. The cocktails were very weak. The waitress did not return with the ranch dressing for the wings, and then charged for the ranch dressing. There were too many variables for me recommend this place. read more

I am all about wood fired pizza and this pizza was phenomenal!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I will definitely come back here every time we are in Lincoln! Our server (who was the bartender) was also super helpful, friendly, and patient with us. read more

Leighton's Pub - Buffalo Chicken Pizza - Pubs Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Very good food. The crab Rangoon pizza was yummy. Nakiya was our server and she made the best recommendations!

We were in Lincoln on business and needed lunch. Yelp led us to Lincoln's Pub. It wasn't very busy so we were seated quickly. Pizzas looked good, so we ordered a large with no cheese on half. Kitchen had no problem with that. We got a large pizza with pepperoni, Italian sausage, and sausage links. The crust was wonderful. There were plenty of toppings. We ended up taking half of the pizza to go because it was so large. We'd go back again. Service was great. read more

The service was great! The food was okay but I had higher expectations due to the pictures of the food online. The atmosphere was inviting and casual! read more

Had a bad experience with the waitresses. She was very pushy and unfriendly. I felt judged even though my family and I were trying to ignore the poor service. Food was fucking good tho Probs to the cook read more

Great food and drinks, but kinda pricey. Had the Thai Chicken Pizza - very good, the crust is probably one of the best I have ever had! Waitress was very attentive! read more

Great place for a drink and a quick bite to eat. Service was great. Atmosphere was perfect. Thanks again!

Our service was verrrry slow on a not busy Saturday. And the crust they are theoretically known for was average at best

Very nice staff, food fresh and tasty. We loved that most everything is homemade. Modern design and yet easy to watch the games on tv. Did not give it 5 stars because handicap parking is clear on east side of lot and down hill from place. Whoever designed it did not think of those needing handicap. Have you ever wheeled up hill and a far distance to get to the restaurant? But we are glad theres more new places to eat in Lincoln. We want to try the other places next door look good too. read more

Good good, good service, and a great place to catch a game! The lounges in back allow for a relaxed viewing experience if you're not up for sitting in the main room. read more

Great food ! Nice vibe. We will be back for sure. The woodfire sandwich's are fantastic.

Food and service were average. Overpriced in my opinion. I do like the idea of the three restaurants using the same kitchen. We were going to go to the Mexican place but there's only a small counter with a few chairs for seating. read more

Used to love Lincoln's Pub but since it changed to Leighton's Pub quality has gone down. They switched to cheaper ingredients for example their bacon. The buns tasted stale and the patties don't taste as good. read more

We ate here yesterday after Church - I ordered the DPG burger. It was the worst "smash burger " I had ever tasted- the bacon was limp and greasy, the carmelized onions were not! The burger Pattie's themselves seemed like they were cooked from frozen and didn't look like they had ever touched a grill. The cheese was barely melted. I didn't eat very much of it. Won't return read more

My friend and I went to this restaurant! Our waitress, Dawn B., was absolutely amazing! She was very helpful & friendly. We split a cheeseburger, a cuban, and the frings. Everything was very delicious! The burger was great and juicy and the bun was so good, I asked Dawn for the brand and she gave me that information! I will buy those for home! I would definitely go back! read more
