Harry's Wonder Bar - Dive Bars Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

I'm in my mid-20's and enjoy college bars but if you want to get cheaper drinks, better service, and have better conversation than you'd find at a full-on college bar head to Harry's. Really fun vibe inside, super clean, amazing service, and unbeatable prices. Got talking with the bartender and it's almost like we were old friends. Just a good ole' watering whole in the middle of the clunte read more

Worst bar I have ever been to. Never go here. I'm 21 and they were extremely rude to me and grabbed the beer out of my hand. He tried to fight me and I am a 22 year old female. I would never go here ever again and would suggest anyone else to never go here. The rudest and worst service I ahve ever had. read more

Harry's Wonder Bar - Bar area - Dive Bars Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

This might just be the ultimate Dive bar experience in Lincoln! And it's not that Divey! It's just old and bad ass! This is the type of place I would hang if I lived here! Full of regulars, drinking 2 dollar buds, watching the little league world series on the little tv's above the bar, playing pool at 2pm, eating free popcorn or hell they have Frozen Pizza's as well! The bartenders were awesome, providing a new frosty mug for ever 2 dollar bud draft you buy and trust me they go down quick when they are that cold! If you are making the treck across the lands searching for the ultimate dive bar's in the USA, you should totally stop here and pull of a bar seat! Loved this place! read more

Being out-of-towners, we didn't really know what bars we should visit during our night in Lincoln. While hanging out at The Spigot we chatted with a group of girls who, after listening to out stories of past barhopping vacations, recommended we check out Harry's Wonder Bar. We crossed the street to Harry's and found ourselves in a nice little dive, the kind of place we really like. Much better than some of the fratty bars we'd experienced the same night! We ordered beer, but evidently mixed drinks are supposed to be the way to really enjoy this place. The bartender made that point very clear to us, in almost a snide manner. :) To get his point across, he immediately whipped up a concoction for me to take a picture of. While other bars are stingy, this place serves up a basic mixed drink strongly poured in a beer mug. At least in the demonstration we were given, anyway. read more

CI went above and beyond the call of duty. As soon as my drink was looking low, CJ was there to fill it. When the night fell into a lull, CJ was there with a song to liven the night. A Harry's experience is incomplete without a run in with CJ. read more

Oh yeah....another dive bar. Most of the beer and liquor is fairly cheap. There's a touch tunes jukebox. The service is good and the other patrons are cool. I like the Captain Morgan statue especially. A couple things I dislike....it's cash only. No patio out back. The restroom could be a bit cleaner. read more

My go-to bars are usually dive bars. When searching for "dive bars" in Lincoln, Harry's Wonder Bar appears to be the dive-iest (in the best way). I went here the Saturday after Thanksgiving around 9:30pm. It was kind of dead (maybe they get a later crowd), but there was a great energy in the bar. The door guy was super friendly as well as the bartenders. The drink prices are reasonable , the restrooms are clean, and the people that were there were friendly (like walk in and you feel like you could learn these people's life stories over the course of the night kind of friendly). There is a single pool table, but it was occupied when we were there. I love this place. I'm not sure why other than the fact that it's a kind of cozy, friendly hole-in-the-wall. read more

Before visiting my mother in Lincoln, I checked on Yelp to see what dive bars might be interesting to check out. Harry's Wonder Bar was the establishment that jumped out to me as a really cool, older, character driven bar that must be visited! It's interesting to note the location, O Street but one block removed to the east from where the typical college crowd might wander. For me that's a big plus. The neighborhood turns slightly more gritty but in a good way. The gentleman's club is just a bit farther down the street and these types of surroundings are where many a great dive bar seem to sprout. Meter parking is right in front. The sign looks likes it's been there awhile and that's fine by me! I found the young lady tending bar quite attractive but that's beside the point. The daytime ambiance was casual and not too loud and my mother and I really enjoyed the frosty beer mugs! One surprise was the keno that apparently is common in the good life. Since I currently live in Las Vegas, I'm used to seeing gambling options everywhere but didn't expect to see bar keno in Nebraska. Next time I visit, I'll definitely come back (my mom insists!). I can only imagine how hopping this place is during game day but more than likely we'll just come back during the day in the middle of the week as Harry's Wonder Bar is a great place to relax with a beer and some good conversation. read more

Harry's Wonder Bar - Gotta love the frosty mugs! - Dive Bars Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Found this place on the internet and was not disappointed! Great dive bar with keno and pull tabs. Owners where there and made us feel right at home. Lots of regulars which is always a good sign. read more

Ask for a "chiclet" on a hot afternoon. If the bartender balks, just say Icy Mug and roll your eyes. The regulars will know what you mean!

So I walk into this place for the first time. A nice old guy who is taking up a middle seat at the bar scoots over one so me and my buddy can sit down. A young bartender then comes up and asks what'll it be, and I reply that I would like a whiskey double. He looks confused. "A double? Like in a double shotglass?" "Not in a shotglass. Just a regular glass." "Like a tall glass?" "Um... if that's all you've got, I guess that's fine." "Okay." He brings over the bottle, puts some ice into a tall tumbler, and proceeds to fill it profusely. At some point, the bottle is nearly gone, so he just pours the rest in. By the time he's doing pouring, the glass is nearly 3/4 full of whiskey. Then he hands it to me. This was not a double. This was a quadruple. I didn't buy another drink til I left the bar like a hour and a half later. I couldn't believe it. There was so much whiskey, the ice cubes were just floating on top, in a sea of alcohol. I don't remember how much it cost me (this was a couple months back) but it was probably less than $8. Now, I'm not sure if this bartender was just *that* new, or if nobody in this bar ever orders whiskey, but I have never experienced anything like that in my life. It was cool and weird at the same time. That's why this gets 4 stars instead of 5. It was just a little weird, and there was one talkative middle-aged guy who was also being strange and a little obnoxious. It was like a bar from a parallel dimension, or maybe Total Recall. But if you just want to get hammered, this place will be perfect. read more

Home of the Frosty Mug! When wreaking drunken havoc on downtown Lincoln, you have a vast array of options to wet your whistle. Harry's offers doubles disguised as singles and ice cold beer. Given the fact that if this bar weren't located on O Street in Lincoln that some might consider it to be a dive, there always seems to be a huge number of ladies here. read more

Had a great time all night. My group spent a lot of money and tipped very well and caused no problems At around 12 got are drinks taken and told we had to leave without even calling last call for no reason. Bartenders became very rude and our group of 20 people who go to nearly every Husker game will never be back. Should seriously look into your customer service read more

Harry's is one of the best dives in all of Lincoln! It truly is a Wonder Bar. The service is friendly, the clientele is friendly, the drinks are cheap and strong, and it's got a nice 'Cheers' sort of atmosphere. A touch tunes jukebox sits in the back, and no one cares if you sing along and dance. No hipsters here to judge you or your music tastes, so sit back and be yourself. Harry's Wonder Bar is a great dive! read more

A fun, dive-y, working-class sort of bar. Perfectly situated to use the "facilities" and have a quick drink afterward when you need it on game day, after parking in a nearby lot and tailgating a bit. read more

Looking for a friendly hole in the wall clean place for a beer. Went there on a Friday evening early. Bartender made you feel like you were a guest in their house. We talked with the regulars and bartender for a couple of hours. Everyone there was so friendly! My husband found a new beer. Dales Pale Ale on tap that he raved about. Anyway, we will back. I have heard after 11 pm it's the place to close down a night. However I'm beyond that stage in my life. Cash only. Popcorn and snacks only. read more
