    A staple for live music in downtown Lincoln, it re-opened and looks great! Same bones, same vibe, cleaned up and looks great. Sound and lights are killer and make it a great setting for bands and DJ’s.

    There to see Gangstagrass...the 18 cover was more than worth it to see this group for the first time... drink prices were great and there was a very diverse crowd in attendance. Definitely a bar that seems to not only welcome diversity, but also embraces it. Well done.
