Tavern On the Square

"One of my favorite places to grab a drink in Lincoln when the weather is nice. The indoor part of the bar itself is pretty small but being able to take your beverage out into the courtyard is the best part of this place. No beer on tap but they have a decent beer selection. Outside they have some tables with propane heaters so if the weather changes you can have a nice fire going."

"This is the best bar in Lincoln, Nebraska and if any of you scraggly fools think otherwise I need you to seriously reconsider. Yeah, the staff is a little sassy, I’m so sorry that they have personality- I adore the witty one-liners and jokes. I think they are incredibly personable and charismatic. The drinks are strong and very well priced. Every time I come into this bar I have always found a seat, and I’ve never had to wait for the bathroom. The courtyard is incredibly underrated; there is no place I’d rather spend a 50° or higher day. I also love that they have an assortment of games including darts, connect four, and cornhole in the summer. They hold a wide range of events that my friends and I have happily attended. It’s also a great place to be in the middle of the afternoon or in the dead of night. This is truly the greatest bar in Lincoln, Nebraska and I will not accept any criticisms on that. I love you Tavern on the Square, I someday hope my photo can join the gallery wall. LOVE U"

"The courtyard is like God reached down out of the sky and placed his finger on once specific point in Lincoln, Nebraska. I feel like I was born there, have lived my whole life there, and will someday lay to rest there. The bricks, the lights, the music, the staff, it is all… Perfect. Never have I ever experienced such joy, laughter, memories, friendships, love, and loss. Except, I never really was the loser except that one time during family feud when my team got second place, but that’s no one‘s fault but ours. Five stars all the way. I wish there was one in every city in America. Best country on earth. Tavern on the Square, please hang a photo of me on your wall."

"Lincoln is lucky to have such a great establishment! We hosted a retirement party here for my dad and had about 100 people come. The staff was super helpful in planning and catering in food for us. It was an incredible evening made easy. The courtyard offers a special ambiance in the evening, the bar itself is fully loaded with options, and the speakeasy in the back is elite. Thank you Matt, Katie, and team for all the help!"
