Good drinks! I like their LIT pitchers and they are a great deal. I always go for the blue raspberry or the pink lemonade. The reason I took off a star or two because I have had some bad experiences with homeless people in the bathroom. The staff is good about responding to concerns when brought to their attention but, just a bit of an off putting experience to have more than once. read more

Brothers Bar & Grill - Blue LIT - Sports Bars Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Great game day spot! Brothers has great deals all week/weekend - my personal favorite is $4 Long Island pitchers on Thursday nights or 25c wings on Wednesday nights. The drinks are pretty cheap but taste great. Lots of seating options as well as a pool table and darts if you're looking for something to do. Kind of a dive bar atmosphere, but I would say a nice dive bar not a grimey one. Staff is great - they've checked in on my group before to make sure we were safe and not being bothered by some other guests which I appreciate! read more

Brothers Bar & Grill - A few pitchers and cocktails! - Sports Bars Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Best place ever! Definitely recommend! The bouncer who was taking my cash was very incredible, he was so polite and just created a welcoming environment!! read more

This is a great Lincoln bar when it comes to bang for your buck. $6 Long Island pitchers is a crazy good deal, and 1 is more than enough to get your night/gameday started. They also have a variety of foods, and their Wing Wednesdays are not to be missed. They have a classic college bar feel, with some booths and tables, but the majority of the space for standing/mingling. You can catch the football and basketball games here too on their numerous TVs. They've got servers and bartenders too, so it's easy to flag someone down and get what you need. read more

Brothers Bar & Grill - Long Island Ice Tea pitchers - their specialty drink - Sports Bars Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

I've been coming to brothers for a while and I mostly enjoy my time here. Drinks are super cheap, but sometimes it's too busy to even get served, especially on Thursdays towards the end of a semester. My drink order gets messed up sometimes, but that's not a huge problem for me. There's always a place to sit and the tables are pretty big. There's a lot to do so it's never boring being here read more

Brothers Bar & Grill - a blue liquid in a pitcher - Sports Bars Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

This is a decent place to come have a drink. The kitchen Isn't open right now but for it being a Thursday it was pretty pippin. They have a lot of options for drinks pretty cheap and who else lets you drink for free on your birthday? No where I know of. The music is awesome so are the bartenders. If you're in the area and looking for a fun atmosphere even during Covid, come on down! read more

I have always enjoyed coming to Brother's, but I was extremely disappointed this last visit. It was busy, but I waited over 30 minutes to be served (still was never served but my friend ordered for me instead), all while new people came up and were served within 5-15 minutes. I was being deliberately ignored despite being completely sober, friendly, respectful, and patient. I payed $5 for entry to be completely ignored and never served. The manager's excuse was that the bartender was "new and from a small town".... while he seemed perfectly competent to serve everyone but me. I normally don't complain but while my friends were repeatedly severed by the same bartender, I was ignored and we weren't offered any compensation or a free drink or anything even though the manager admitted the bartender was in the wrong. To be clear, most of the other bartenders are great and I never had a bad experience before this and this one specific bartender. read more

I didn't have food here, just drinks. The drinks were cheap, and it wasn't a terrible selection of beer, though they had tapped the kegs of beer I wanted by the time I got there (10pm on a Friday - wtf?) so I was left with little choice. The prices are reasonable, but I suppose that's compared to the Northeast. It was crowded there, and they could use some more hightop tables, but overall it's a decent place to hang out and chat (or yell over music) with your friends. It's also pretty easy to get to, and it's downtown, so why not? We'll probably be going back the next time we're in the city. read more

I really wanted to play shuffle board but It costs 2 dollars to play! Bowling ally is doesn't have enough oil either.

Friendly service, fun atmosphere. My wife and I travel across the country every year and whenever our travels take us through Lincoln, a stop at Brothers is on the list. Their drink specials are always awesome, my wife enjoys the music, and the bartenders do an excellent job. We always sit at the bar to people watch and hang out, and they are attentive to us. Keep up the good work, we look forward to our next trip through Lincoln. read more

This wouldn't be such a bad place if the lines weren't so damn LONG. But I guess I shouldn't judge it by that, since it is coincidental. It's a cool place, roomy with plenty of seating. The bars got a nice selection on draft and a cute girl wheels around an ice tub with bottles. The wings aren't bad, kinda small with not much meat on them, but if you go after 9 p.m. they're 15 cents a piece. So for that price, I don't care how good they are lol. But it is a good deal and for an extra 25 cents you get ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce, which is pretty good. Unless you just gotta have the spicy Assburners (yes that is what they're called), I recommend the Mild and Honey BBQ wings. As I said before, the lines can get pretty damn long. I went for the first time last night and my buddies and I waited for probably 1.5 hours. Just go with some friends, have a couple beers and shoot the shit while you wait. For the price, you're getting an excellent deal on some wings. read more

First off let me say that if anything this bar deserves a 3.5 stars but since I'm not able to break it down as such a three will have to do. Brothers Bar & Grill is a nice little spot where you can grab some cheap drinks and enjoy a good time whenever. The service at Brothers is a bit weak but not bad I guess, during their most busy hours of operation I find that you can get your drink in a reasonable amount of time MOST of the time and like most bars it's not bad. The prices (especially on drinks) are cheap compared to most bars on O Street and you don't typically have to worry about breaking the bank here. The atmosphere is that of your standard college town "Main Street" bars. It's a big place, plenty of seating at and around the bar, there's a dance floor that's big enough for you to get your groove on (should you desire) and also a single bowling lane etc. The Three star rating means "A-OK" which is exactly what this bar is, it's okay and I'm sure I'll be back there from time to time. It's big, usually has a good fun crowd, cheap drink prices, and all around is worth a stop. If you're a bar-snob you probably won't like this place, and to be honest it's not altogether my cup of tea either but it is what it is, and that's an alright bar for cheap drinks and drunken fun. read more

Brothers Bar & Grill - the bar and televisions - Sports Bars Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

We visited Lincoln recently and spent some time at Brothers before the Nebraska/Ohio State football game. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming of everyone, including the Ohio State fans. The burgers were some of the best we've had. The sides (French fries and cheese curds) were very generous portions and also delicious. The atmosphere was comfortable and enjoyable. After the game, the bar was packed and everyone seemed to be having a great time. We highly recommend Brothers Bar and Grill and will visit again the next time we're in Lincoln! read more

Brothers is one of the most inhospitable bars i've ever been to. My friends and I were treated rudely by the staff and we had to wait an eternity for our drink orders to get filled. To put it a little more succinctly, if you're in your late 20s or in your 30s, these pricks are going to ignore you. If you're a frat brother or a sorrority sister they'll go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The staff's disdain and utter contempt for clientele 30 or older could not be more obvious. I guess the management is of the opinion that since P.O. Pears went out of business they have some sort of mandate to serve the college crowd. Problem is, that restaurant never treated it's older customers quite as shabbily or with as much utter contempt as Brothers. I know for sure I won't be going there ever again. read more

It really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be! Ok yeah, I'm pretty sure this is where all the guys that drive Ford Mustangs and wear Tapout hang out but even so.... Came here on a Saturday immediately after a game, holy hell was it horrible trying to drive anywhere downtown. We eventually parked a couple blocks away and walked. It was pretty crowded, they were carding and wrist banding everyone that came in. There wasn't anywhere to sit for about 20 minutes until a couple people left the bar. Their selection of beer was OK, they had some local stuff, but the bartender didn't know what they had so I had to look for myself. The second beer I ordered, the bartender poured me the wrong one, but I guess I'll chalk it up to being one of the 2 IPAs right next to each other and it being loud and busy. They had 2 actual size bowling lanes that was kind of cool....They played YMCA and I was one of like 2 people actually dancing to it....BUT my bacon cheeseburger was actually pretty decent. Especially after beer. Bacon was cooked pretty good, surprisingly and the burger had flavor. Cheese wasn't even melted a little, but whatever. I'd probably come here again if I wanted the environment. read more

This place is only getting a 3 because the night life isn't that great there. Floor is always sticky for some reason. AND there is a cover. The wings there on Wednesdays, used to be called stones and bones, are pretty decent. You have to hit them a couple of times to get a good bunch of wings. They aren't too pricey. Not a bad place to take a few friends and get some cheap beer, bs and eat wings on Wednesday. Other than that I would stay away. read more

We went here on a Wednesday afternoon before a show at the Bourbon. I had a little while to kill before the show so a cheap pitcher of Busch light...5.50 on Wednesdays fit the bill. It was almost empty, and we just relaxed for a bit. I plan on doing that again next time I am going to a show. read more

Would give 0 stars but it's not an option. This place is so bad. It's so trashy. Went in for our first drink and they told us we were "too drunk". So bad. Don't waste your time. Such a trashy bar. Never spending me money here again. read more

Had an incredibly disappointing experience at brothers tonight. Me and a few girl friends were coming in and were surprised to hear there was a cover on a thursday night. The bouncer acted like we were idiots for being surprised. He asked if we even spoke english. We quickly paid the bouncer, never intending not too, just a bit surprised as we hadn't see that before at this location on a Thursday. He continually gave us attitude, swore at us and spoke to us in a manner that no women should be spoken to in. None of us were speaking to him in that manner. I attempted to deescalate the situation and he swore at us again, saying he couldn't believe we needed him to repeat himself and again asking us if we spoke english. He then told us that all our ID's were probably fake "as sh*t". They are not. I am appalled and insulted and I hope to see a change in the way the employees here treat their costumers. (His name is Larry). read more

No bueno. I was there on Saturday afternoon with a group of about 7 or 8 girls, and the main female bartender didn't want anything to do with us. I can't tell you how many times we tried to get her attention while she texted on her phone or stood there talking to one of the guys who worked there. Once, she was talking to one of her coworkers and he pointed out that we were waiting for something, and she just shrugged and went back to talking to him. Later, they got busier and brought in another female bartender. She was nice. However, the attitude from the first bartender will ensure that I don't go back. read more

Wow! Just wow! This is the best bar to puke in! I had a wonderful time getting hit on by pale, gangly, socially inept guys who are here alone as well as a gaggle of frat boys! Had an even better time puking in the stall. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for some unwanted attention from guys read more

Live downtown, been to the majority of the bars in the area. I only go to Brothers if I'm in the mood to play shuffle board or darts. Brothers has terrible service, every time I've been there they act like you are a nuisance to them. Typically go there to play a game and then go somewhere else to get a drink. read more

Food here is awesome! I always had great, quick service during my 45 minute lunch break (which is rare to even find!) and the only time I've experienced sticky floors here was on home, football game days. It's probably hard to clean the floors because its so packed I would imagine. Other than that the floors are never sticky in all the times I've been there. I always enjoy this place. Oh and they have really cheap drink specials too, which is always a bonus!!!! read more

Stopped in a few Saturdays ago around 8pm to grab some shots and drinks quick before a concert. Stood at the east side (empty side) of the bar for about 15-20 minutes while the bartenders walked past us/hung out on the other side of the bar. Two bartenders made drinks at the rail in front of us, but failed to greet us/make us a drink, so we left. I use to enjoy this place when I was in college, sad to see it go down hill. read more

Brothers is hands down the best bar in town. Chase the bartender is fabulous. I come here every Friday and am never disappointed. 10/10 recommend. read more

Everyone there is mean except for the door people. The music is way too loud. I only gave it 2 stars because I like the $2 shots.

Horrible place! I stood at the bar for more than 20 minutes and can't get a single drink. Rude employees! Paid cover charge just to stand at the bar. Horrible experience. My friends and I are never going back there! I complained on their facebook website and they deleted it. How "professional". They're obviously not planning to change or improve their place & service. There's so many bars at downtown Lincoln, Brother's is definitely not the one to go to! Reply to Jaime: First of all, why would u hide the message on facebook in the first place? Whats to point of hiding it and then try to "republish" it? Second, anyone can send me a msg on facebook. I have people who are not my friends on facebook sending me messages. So don't try feeding me bs! Third, we stood right in front of the check out machine thing. I remember seeing you and other bartenders using that thing. But everyone ignored us. We told one of your bartender that we need a drink and all she did was look at us with a dumb face and forget about us! Then we told one of your employees that we need some drinks and we have stood there for over 20 minutes and he said "You'll have to wait longer cause I ain't pouring no shit!". Those are his exact words and I'm shitting you not. I went to 2 other bars that night and got my drinks right away. I don't see why Brother's cant serve me any drinks for over 20 minutes and to top it off, I get rude service. read more

This bar is great! However there is a grey area if you don't enjoy filling your squid mitten up with a human almond joy. The evening was great I snuck in a Gatorade and ordered more vodka shots than you could shake a stick at. I was three sheets to the F5 tornado and boy was I feeling frisky. It was then an indian gentleman that looked like a mixture of Nicholas Cage and Nightwolf from mortal kombat. He whispered something to me and I followed him to the restroom where he proceeded to fill my pussy to the brim with his 5 x 5 inch cock and then crapped into vajeen. God bless Brother's. read more

No much going on here. Floors are always dirty and the staff is rather stuck up. I went in here once with 3 girls and the male bartender ignored us. Eventually the female bartender helped us and the drinks were average. I gave her a $5 for a $2-3 drink or shot and she didn't give me my change back until i asked her. I asked very politely thinking she had forgotten and I got a very rude response. Not much of a place for dancing, more of a sit and yell at your friends over the loud music kind of bar. We went at about 9 pm and they weren't serving food so I have no idea what that's like. read more
