We were there on a night with a one-man band who was seriously impressive, and when he wasn't playing, the music on TouchTunes kept the vibe going perfectly. The owners were there, super friendly and down to earth, and you can genuinely feel how much heart and soul they're putting into the place. Copper & Oak has absolutely raised the bar for Lincoln. Highly recommend! Can't wait to go back!

You couldn't even hear the person reading the questions speaking. I realize, that a bar can't control what patrons do. The bartender was very accommodating, and the food was excellent!

Been wanting to come here on Fridays when they have the fish buffet. BEST FRIED FISH EVER!…read more Everything about the fish was perfect. Even the sides were a 10/10! Service was top notch.

I WILL BE BACK!

The food and drink at Hand of Fate was amazing. We went out for lunch around the area and stopped…read moreby for a beer and a sandwich. We ordered the fried onions, which were thin and not the expected onion rings, however the fried green beans were the best! When ordering, it takes a little while to put in your order and they get the beer for you as you are ordering. We had a group of 5 and if you ordered your beer first, then you had to wait to order anything else. There was plenty of seating inside, but as it was a beautiful day, we decided to sit outside where they have a nice 3-4 table area for some people to lounge.

Didn't have the best experience with this taproom. I was in town visiting my family and we decided…read moreto go for drinks. My step mother experienced the rudest bartender, he was a man. My step mom explained that the beer tasted like vinegar and nicely tried to explain it was probably the end of the keg. The bartender then proceeded to get mad at her and said that it's a "mead" and that's why it tastes like that and so on and so on. Later when another member of my family went up to get a drink the bartender realized he was in the wrong and gave my family member a drink to give to my step mom, after realizing she was right and the keg was empty. Not even an apology. My drinks were fine, it was a nice beer but after what my family went through will not be returning.

The best thing about this location with the food is there are no disappointments. I would imagine,…read morelike myself, diners have noticed the quality of food at restaurants has greatly declined. Regardless of where you go or have gone in the past the quality of the food has become a disappointment. I would like to say I was surprised by the great taste of the food at this location, but it was what I had heard from others. I wasn't disappointed, but the quality of the food exceeded what I expected. Bravo Riverside for maintai ing a quality of excellence. This in itself would be enough for my wife and I, but the inviting ambiance of this establishment aligned with the high quality of the food. Again......Bravo. Now to the best part of this gem tucked away in Havana. The service of the was out of the 1950s. We had suck a good experience with the young man that waited on us I was sure he was the son of the owner, but was merely an employee who had parents that brought him up properly. I don't know the owners, this isn't a gimmick review, but a review from someone who has spent years eating at four and five star restaurants up and down the west cost. What a nice surprise to fine this gem in a bucket full of rocks here in Havana. Good form Riverside....Good form

They had a very cool interior, with tap handles lining their walls and all sorts of neat antique items. Their seating options were limited but the table we sat at was very cool because of how it was made and had comics and such incorporated into the top of the tables. They sell beer from breweries but don't make their own, which was fine as they had some food craft beers on tap. Inside the lights were very dim but it added to the whole mood of the pub. The bartender was quiet but proficient at his job. A neat little place to stop and have a drink.

This place is happening, we came in at 11:15am, grabbed a table and by 11:30(ish) was standing room only with people waiting for an opening... and I can tell you why: FOOD WAS AMAZING! We tried a few different appetizers (spicy green beans are a new favorite)... but I don't think I've ever been out with a group that was 100% satisfied and surprised (all around)...
