Only initials on the front door and a little neon sign that says vacancy. We came very early (probably right after it opened) and it was dark and cozy inside. Only one couple was at the bar and my friend and I sat first at the bar to look at cocktail options. I love that all they're cocktails are named after historic people or places. Very cool. The service was terrific! Bartender let us take our time to decide. I ordered a "Willa Cather", which was a cocktail with St Germain,prosecco and hibiscus! So tasty! My friend ordered the "Kate Martin" which was whiskey and ginger. Loved the vibe and will definitely return next time I'm in town!

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!

They do require a credit card to hold the reservation, which was easy enough. The waitstaff was excellent--very attentive, pleasant, and helpful throughout the evening. We went with the tasting menu, which made dinner feel like more of an experience rather than just a meal. It was a fun way to enjoy several different dishes throughout the evening, and the food was excellent. The wine list was also sufficient with some very good options. Overall, a great experience and a really enjoyable date night downtown. We'll definitely be back!

Four Visits, Four Disappointments -- The Value Simply Isn't There…read more We've given Aragon Tavern three separate opportunities, and unfortunately, all three visits have left us severely disappointed. We understand the concept. We appreciate ambition, creativity, and a restaurant trying to offer something beyond the ordinary. But ambition and execution are two very different things, and Aragon consistently falls short where it matters most: the actual dining experience and the value for the money. The pricing suggests an elevated, almost Michelin-inspired experience in a tavern setting. There's nothing wrong with that concept. In fact, it could be fantastic. The problem is that the food and overall experience simply don't justify the prices being charged. When you position yourself at that price point, the execution needs to be consistent, the experience needs to feel intentional, and the customer should leave feeling that the meal was worth what they paid. That hasn't been our experience on any of our three visits. During one visit, we asked the bartender a straightforward question: How would you describe this restaurant, and what lasting impression should guests walk away with? The response was that they were still trying to figure that out, despite having been open for several years. That answer was telling. A restaurant can evolve, experiment, and refine its identity, but after several years, you would expect a clear vision of what it wants to be and what makes it worth seeking out. Aragon seems to be charging for the experience it aspires to deliver rather than consistently delivering an experience that earns those prices. Lincoln has plenty of dining options, and at this price point, there are restaurants that deliver a far more compelling combination of food quality, hospitality, atmosphere, and value. We've tried Aragon three times because we wanted to like it. Unfortunately, we've walked away disappointed three times. The concept has potential. The execution and value just aren't there. Until those two things catch up with the pricing, we can't justify returning.

This is the first cigar bar I've been to, but I'd like to start by saying the owner (if I remember correctly) made the best Old Fashioned I've ever had in my life. If that's the standard, I'd be back here based on that, alone. They had a pretty good selection of cigars to choose from (All within various price ranges), and lots of alcohol choices to match. It was a great place to hangout and catch up. If you're in Lincoln area, give them a try!
