I don't live in Hastings anymore, but I did grow up here and was back visiting family. We were looking for a place near my nieces' hotel and happened upon this place. Now there were definitely no places like this in Hastings when I was making the rounds. But then, back in the day I probably wasn't looking for martini bars either. What a fun, friendly, and fantastic place. I think we came in four or five nights in a row and the owners couldn't have been friendlier. That's right, I said "the owners". They may have other staff as well but while we were there it was the owners who were bartending and serving, and they couldn't have been more welcoming. The drink menu was amazing from start to finish, (definitely have the (Blueberry Mojito) and the prices reasonable. I'm sure it's a Midwest thing but I appreciate being able to go out and enjoy myself without having to spend about a day's wages like when I go out on the East Coast. They really made it a great place to relax and have a cocktail or two at the end of the day . . . . obviously, since we kept coming back night after night . . . . and will definitely stop again on my next visit to Hastings. A couple other quick things before I end this. First, there is a bar menu where you can order from a nearby restaurant. Second, the artwork on the wall is fantastic. Something interesting to look at in every direction . . . . and you can buy it if you really like it. Usually in places where restaurants or bars double as gallery space the artwork is small and mismatched by multiple artists. Nothing wrong with that, but I find it distracting. Here the artwork was all by a single artist I believe, and larger enough that it seems part of the decor. And at least the ones near me seemed reasonable priced. (We sat at the same table every night, so I only saw a few up close.) There's one was one funk one that I might have bought if it weren't for the fact that I had driven here from DC and still had to drive back and had already spent more than I planned on the trip here . . . . and still had several stops planned for the return trip. (Graceland, Kentucky Bourbon Trail, Mammoth Cave . . . etc.) Final words, C'mon Hastings (and people just visiting), show this place the support it deserves . . . . and have a cocktail for me.

It has booths lining the walls that have been lovingly repaired many times over the years using the tried and true duct tape method. It has a pool table, fun and friendly locals (mixed in with the occasional bar fight) , a Touch Tunes juke box, beer signs that have been there for who knows how long, Sunshine Wheat Beer in a frosty mug for $1.50, and a wonderful owner named Virginia. This was my college gang's bar, and it could just be nostalgia talking but I love this place. Virginia, the owner, is a hardworking, sweet yet tough woman. She watched over us like a protective Grandmother, and even checked to see if we had finished our homework for the day before she brought us a pitcher of Sunshine. If you like dives and find yourself in Hastings, NE-go to The Olive, and say hi to Virginia for the gang and I. Things to know: Bring cash! No card machine here! There's a small parking lot and also plenty of meter free spots on the street. This place is pretty much a beer and simple mixed drink place. Don't expect to get any martinis, wine or fancy cocktails. Rum and Coke? Definitely. Cosmopolitan? Definitely not. The crowd in here can get a bit drunk and rowdy, but for the most part they are very nice and friendly. If you're looking for a quiet night out, I wouldn't suggest this place.

I definitely recommend eating there.

They decided to omit the fries that come with the kids order and add exactly 13 pickle chips to it. Providing us not with what we paid for and a disappointment all around. The popcorn shrimp was consumed with disappointment for a lack of fries, my partner was disappointed that so little pickle chips were received instead of the proper side that was ordered. $20 charged for one item that was worth less than the two items ordered that were falsely combined. Then we unpacked the side of sweet potato fries to find exactly 10 fries, for $8, I remind you. It looks like maybe one potato was cut up to provide this side. To feed all of us when we expected a container full of them. The real kicker is that they were still hard and partially uncooked. The sandwich was the only item that was provided correctly. This is the second time they've failed to provide an order as we made it. We will never be returning. What a joke. The food doesn't even taste that good. It all tastes and looks cheap. Photos: Sweet potato fries, sandwich order. Not pictured: The joke of the combined kids meal/side that wasn't filled correctly. It was consumed before we decided to write the review.
