A cold fresh Guinness, a warm smile, and fiery redhead named Kelsey. The wings are the true litmus test of any bar/pub. They also pass this test!! Come down and place a dollar on…..well anywhere!! The biggest Moscow mule I’ve ever seen!!!

Wow what a great fun place. Staff was freeking great and the food was wonderful. Great selection of beers and wish I was having another one. I think this is a hidden gem downtown and when I come back I’m going to find it again. Thank you. Had a blast.

Dalton and Rylee were my peeps tonight. Fantastic service. They make a great atmosphere. Greet you when you arrive. Tentative to your drink and food needs (i wasn't hungry). Relatively slow weekday night but the crew kept busy cleaning and never didn't have the time for customers. Talkative and not overbearing. Great place to go.

I live in Grand Island, Nebraska and we have a McKinney's here. It's fantastic. The one in Lincoln, not so much. We were basically the only 4 people in the restaurant. The waitress just yelled at us from the bar half the time. I ordered chicken strips which looked undercooked but tasted fine. The fries were a little undercooked, but okay. My wife's sandwich was good, but the cottage cheese had no flavor. My friend got the fish and chips and barely ate any of it because it was over seasoned. His wife got the cheese and broccoli soup and it was basically room temp. She only had a few bites of it. As for the atmosphere, it wasn't for me. There are dollar bills taped up all over the walls with writing on them. Some people might enjoy that, I didn't. It just felt cluttered and unfriendly to me.

Sydney and Dalton were literally the best bartenders. They handled so many people on Halloween and were the most professional people. They were so nice, gave exceptional service, and I will be coming back because of them. 10/10 experience because of them!!!
