My friend and I stopped in for food and pops--we weren't even drinking alcohol. We did absolutely nothing to warrant the way the bartender treated us. He was rude, dismissive, and when we addressed it, he told us "there's the door" and continued to be disrespectful as we left. Lincoln has plenty of great establishments to choose from. Unfortunately, Press Box won't be one of them.

If you're looking for a laid-back place to grab a drink, watch the game, and enjoy good bar food, this is it. We came for the wings, and they were cooked perfectly. While most of the sauces are classic flavors you can find at other wing spots, the Honey Cajun really stood out and was our favorite. Definitely give that one a try. The bartender was awesome--friendly, quick with service, and had the relaxed personality that makes you feel welcome. The atmosphere is casual, unpretentious, and exactly what you'd expect from a local dive bar. We'll definitely be back. One tip: if you're planning to watch a game, check their game-day hours since they may differ from their regular schedule.

Amazing service and very attentive staff! Clean bathrooms and great location! Lots of beer on tap!read more

We recently returned to Liquid Assets for our second dinner, hoping for another experience like our…read morefirst visit. The first time, we really enjoyed ourselves. The food was good, the cocktails were well made, and we left looking forward to coming back. Unfortunately, our second visit didn't live up to that first impression. The food was still decent, but the cocktails were disappointing and lacked the quality we experienced before. The dining room was also quite noisy, making it difficult to have a relaxed conversation. One issue that was consistent on both visits was the service. While the staff was friendly, our wait service wasn't very attentive either time, and we often found ourselves waiting longer than expected for drinks and other needs, including getting our bill. I chased down the waitstaff on each visit just to pay. Based on our two experiences, Liquid Assets has shown it can be very good, but the inconsistency makes it hard to recommend wholeheartedly. We probably won't be in a hurry to return, though we hope they can provide a more consistent experience in the future.

We ordered an appetizer and two meals, and were there for 2 hours, It took FOURTY MINUTES for our waters to be refilled, it wasn't even done by our server, it was the table runner that brought us our food, and we had to ask her to. We had to ask for silverware, apparently I should eat cottage cheese with my hands. I would've liked a different barbecue sauce because the one she gave me was extremely vinegary but there was no "how is your food?" "Can I get you guys anything?" So I just went without. We were going to get drinks and another app but with the shitty service we opted not to. There also wasn't other servers really around, they were all hiding in the back even though there was 5 of them. Were they cooking? Back there playing on their phones? I'd really love to know. But they all seemed to check on their tables way more than we were checked on. The guy behind us was checked on 6 times by a different waiter, and they were there longer than we were. Our server: 1. Asked us what we wanted to eat 2. Brought us the check when it was time to pay; waited 20 minutes to come back to pick up the card. TLDR: SERVICE WAS AWFUL.
