I've been to a few Husker games at Memorial Stadium, and been to The Railyard on a game day a few…read moretimes as well, and let me tell you - being at the Railyard on a game day is the next best thing to actually being in the stadium. The hustle and bustle of the crowd in The Railyard is full of excitement and camaraderie. You watch the games on giant screens hung around The Railyard, and each time the Huskers score or make a great play, the crowd erupts and you may get a drink or two splashed on or around you in the hubbub (just part of the fun, get ready to get dirty and stepped on). Speaking of spilled drinks, that is one plus of watching a game at The Railyard vs. in person at the stadium - there are plenty of alcoholic drinks to enjoy, if that's your thing - and plenty of restaurants and bars around for nonalcoholic drinks and snacks too. You don't have to stick to Dr. Pepper and Valentinos here! (Memorial Stadium did recently lift their ban on alcohol sales in the stadium but that won't be in effect for a while, and you will pay an arm and a leg.) My husband actually had his bachelor party at The Railyard, watching a game and then hitting a few nearby bars. He said it was a great way to spend a day with his pals, and would recommend doing that to anyone who's a Husker fan, looking for a more chill bachelor party idea. You can eat at one of The Railyard restaurants with a patio and watch the game on the giant screens that way, or find a spot with your group and stake your claim in the middle of the yard (don't worry, it's concrete, not grass). Whichever way you decide to do it, I definitely say you should catch a game at The Railyard for the unique experience!

The only reason I gave it 1 star is because of a bars called ( tanks and the corner bar), they have…read morea scam going if you don't know it. When you go in there and order a drink like a whiskey and Coke they charge you for a double which was $17, if you do not tell them I want a single. They automatically charge you for a double.

It was freezing cold outside and there were a few of us huddled in the foyer waiting for doors to open. I witnessed this lady deny entry for an elderly gentleman to use the restroom, and instead she forced him to walk outside (in the freezing cold) elsewhere. I couldn't help but feel so unwelcome and disheartened to see the director of the theater treat the guests so cold and awful. I was disgusted and appalled that this woman runs the place. Very rude and disgusting behavior for guests attending the show as well, the lady sitting next to us was crying over how nasty this lady treated her too. If you attend this venue, be prepared to deal with an old vile woman that runs the place! Very disappointed because this was the first time I had attended a show here, will not be back as long as this lady is running the place!

What a fun place! I…read morecame to Bodega's Alley for the Nebraska Funk & Soul Alliance Benefit/Concert to see Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal. This was my first time at Bodega's, which I would describe as a bar/small music venue that is laid out in shotgun fashion (long and somewhat skinny from entrance to the back of the building).I was a little worried I was going to feel claustrophobic once people started pouring in for the show. However, there seemed to be plenty of personal space and seating options despite a pretty packed house. There are a few bar stools and very roomy booths, but there is also a lot of standing room. I believe there is also a backroom with some pool tables (I was a little drunk at the point I made it back there...so it is hard to remember) and the bathrooms. So if you want to get out of the crowd, you have a spot to go. I did not see if they had a back patio or outdoor space (I'll update if I find out). The stage is pretty small and located next to the entrance. The sound and lighting were pretty solid (though it was somewhat to hear Josh Hoyer talking at times). The beer options were decent in quality and price. This is not a fancy bar by any means, but I could totally see myself regularly coming here just to hang out and to catch a show. It's a nice local bar that has a lot of interesting shows. I think I f you like Zoo Bar, you'd like Bodega's Alley. They are great complements to each other, and make it easy and fun to go bar or show hopping.

I was having a legitimately good time until the owner decided to become the attraction…read more The drinks were flowing, the crowd was having fun, and then this dude swooped in like a WWE heel who had just discovered management authority for the first time. Some owners elevate a business. Others stay out of the way and let the staff shine. This guy somehow found a third option: actively making the place worse. Every interaction felt like he was trying to win an argument nobody was having. The energy shifted so fast I thought somebody had unplugged the karaoke machine and replaced it with a podcast about a fat farm. The craziest part? The bar didn't need him. The staff was doing fine. The customers were having fun. Then he arrived with all the subtlety of a monster truck driving through a farmers market. I've never seen someone work so hard to convince people not to come back. The drinks were decent. The crowd was cool. The owner was the reason this review exists.

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.
