    Mules
    Audrey E.

    The Copper Kettle is the perfect switch up on/near O street. It sets itself apart from nearby bars because of their specialization on Moscow Mules and through the ambiance of the spot. It's a much more chill and slightly more upscale spot to grab a drink than nearby bars. The mellow vibes are enhanced through the service keeping things very laid back and enjoyable. The mules are always great, I've tried a few different flavors and enjoy all of them. Their light snacks are also perfect for a happy hour or hold over before going somewhere else.

    The vegan tacos sounded good, so I dropped in for dinner and was not disappointed. It's a cute restaurant and bar with good service and I'd definitely recommend it. The dip with my fries was so good! I loved the vegan sweet potato tacos and I don't always love vegan food.

    We had the worst service, got billed for food never received and we got billed for there tip of 20% after complaining about there poor service and food never received.

    Cromelette

    Superb invention: the Cromelette. This was worth the trip to Lincoln alone. It spoke to my breakfast-loving heart.

    Spiced Pear Mule
    Andrew W.

    The ambiance of old-school bar/lounge with soft pop/rock was welcoming. With only a couple tables occupied, it was open seating. I ordered a mule (you kind of have to) and received my Spiced Pear Mule in minutes. It was delicious! Being Wednesday night, I ordered the Waygu burger with crispy bacon and kettle sauce. It came out in a reasonable time, was well cooked with crispy bacon (that doesn't always happen even when you ask) along with a healthy portion of seasoned fries and kettle queso for dipping. I recommend and will be back.

    Super cool concept! Got the El Burro [tequila, homemade ginger beer and lime] and it was very tasty. Their ginger beer isn't overly sweet; it has a really nice spice to it. Cute interior too! If I lived in Lincoln, I'd come down all the time

    Cool place, but the menus way to limited! They need to have some sort of a hefty burger for after-game patrons!

    There's truly no place quite like this. It has become one of our very favorite places to celebrate…read morelife's special moments -- whether with family, friends, or even my clients. Every visit seems to create another unforgettable memory. One of my clients' families especially loved kids' night, and it turned into such a fun and memorable experience for them. As for my own family, we've learned to schedule later dinner reservations because once we're there, it's hard to leave! Some of my sweetest memories are from bringing my mother here while she was still with us. We often ended up being the last ones there at closing because we were enjoying ourselves so much. Kevin and his staff were always incredibly gracious, never making us feel rushed, and consistently treating us like family. That kindness leaves a lasting impression. Reading some of the less-than-positive reviews honestly surprises me because our experience over the years has been consistently wonderful. We've always received excellent service, enjoyed the entertainment, appreciated the comfortable atmosphere and beautiful views from every table, and loved the nostalgia throughout the restaurant and memorabilia. And the food? Absolutely enjoyable every time. Considering the unique experience, atmosphere, entertainment, and very reasonable pricing, I think expectations should be balanced accordingly. Personally, I genuinely enjoy the food here -- often more than at many other restaurants in town. This place is special, and we will continue making memories here for years to come.

    March 2026 Lincoln,…read moreNebraska Many sites on the Internet, including Yelp, said this was a good place to go to for food and entertainment. It is 6 o'clock on a Tuesday night and it is my table and one other in the restaurant. The floor is carpeted and there are booths along the wall as well as many tables 6 top and four tops. The silverware is located in a cigar box on the table. The menu is viewed by scanning a QR code. You may ask for a paper menu as well. We ordered 6 wings half with barbecue sauce and half with Annie B's sauce. Annie B's sauce is a combination of honey mustard and barbecue sauce. We also ordered the Haystack barbecue chicken sandwich to share. It comes with fries. You're able to substitute it for mashed potatoes, green beans or you can get salad bar, or you may get mac & cheese. Not sure if the last two are an up charge or not The servers periodically get up on stage and sing. They will take requests. The barbecue wings are very good. They are double fried which gives a crisp outside skin. Comes with three celery sticks. The blue cheese and the ranch dressing are very thin. Very runny. Not much flavor to the salad dressing. Chicken sandwich is a very thin piece of chicken. I think it has too much barbecue sauce. I do like the smoked Gouda on it. However, the sandwich was cold. It should be a hot sandwich and it would get a much higher rating if it were served hot. The french fries are a thick cut curly fry. They have great flavor and great crunch. It's nice to bite into a fry and feel the meat of the potato. The wait staff is kind and they all help each other. They take turns going up and singing. It could be a request or something they choose. Oddly enough, the four songs that we recommended they knew none. So we told them to pick some thing of their own liking. Overall, the food was much better than I anticipated. Out of five stars, I would give the wings five stars but the chicken sandwich would be a 3 1/2, because it was served cold and the chicken was thin and dry. The french fries were a five. Service was definitely a five. The staff is very friendly. This would be a fun place to visit with people from out of town. It is unique to the area and the food overall was worth going back for.
