Always a favorite place to go when visiting the Haymarket. Drinks are great and the ambiance is old fashioned. Order your drinks at the bar and find a nice comfy chair to relax and enjoy the crafted cocktail. read more

Kate Martin - Henry Fonda's if I remember correctly. Very nice and smooth martini. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Everything about this place is fantastic! First off, it's got such a great speakeasy vibe because of its nondescript front. Only initials on the front door and a little neon sign that says vacancy. We came very early (probably right after it opened) and it was dark and cozy inside. Only one couple was at the bar and my friend and I sat first at the bar to look at cocktail options. I love that all they're cocktails are named after historic people or places. Very cool. The service was terrific! Bartender let us take our time to decide. I ordered a "Willa Cather", which was a cocktail with St Germain,prosecco and hibiscus! So tasty! My friend ordered the "Kate Martin" which was whiskey and ginger. Loved the vibe and will definitely return next time I'm in town! read more

Kate Martin - Even the orange peel is cut like an M - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Sirs, Madams, anyone in between...this is the spot. Cozy dim lit vibes with beautiful decorative accents. A great spot for a date night. The cocktails are all named after Nebraska natives and they hiiiiit. Devon was a spectacular bartender with a gleaming personality to match. Thanks for the drinks and the laughs. Great drinks & great vibes. I will certainly go out of my way to stop in here when I'm in Lincoln again. read more

Grabbed a drink at Kate Martin while in Lincoln. The place is super fun, a spooky feel, and I love their themed menu. It was busy and loud when we were there. I didn't love my drink, it was sweeter than I was expecting, but my friend enjoyed hers. I'd give it another shot for the ambiance alone read more

Great ambiance, yummy drinks. Bartenders were awesome to talk to. Sad I didn't know about it sooner! Allegedly it's haunted! read more

Atmosphere and bartenders are the best! We have been there twice now and both times it is a hit!

One of my new favorite places to grab a drink! I love the fun menu, and my clover club was only $11 which is very reasonable for a craft cocktail It is a bit small, but since they limit the number of people allowed in I've been able to find a comfortable seat both times I've been. I'd absolutely recommend checking it out if you're looking for a spot to grab a drink downtown. read more

Kate Martin - Clover club - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

What amazing service and excellent bartenders. I recommend highly this speakeasy. Drinks are an art form. Cash only smaller venue.

Went here for a date night and it was lovely! The space is small, intimate and cozy with couch/chair, table and bar seating. We enjoyed the format of the menu and how it highlighted various individuals in Nebraska as names of the drinks. I ordered the Willa Cather and it was delicious and a fair price. I enjoyed sitting at the bar and watching the bar tender make a variety of drinks all of which had their own unique presentation and style. Overall would highly recommend for a cozy date night! read more

Love Kate Martin, one of my favorite cocktail bars in Lincoln. The drinks are themed and named after famous Nebraskans, some rotate. I've tried Willa Cather, Gabrielle Union, and Mari Sandoz that I can recall, but I've probably had others too...all are amazing. They also make a good old fashioned. Service is great and it's fun to watch the bartenders make drinks. Cash only. read more

We'll was told classy. I'd rather go to the other room. Never came to get our drink so we left to go to other room. If you older and want a higher class place don't go here. Let the college crowd be here with the few older Lincolnites that don't know any better. read more

Cozy retro atmosphere, an expansive list of designer cocktails, and knowledgeable bartenders who recommend the perfect elixir for every occasion. A must visit while in Lincoln, NE. read more

Took a group of 7 in as we heard good things about the bar. Being my son's 21st Bday, we had planned to pull a late one. The mixoligist (Devon?) was not happy to be there. Seemed bothered to bring our drinks out and the 2nd round took awhile to get despite being a slower Sunday night. My wife walked up to the counter to order a 3rd but after 7-8 minutes of standing and no acknowledgement of the bartender opposite side of the counter, the cold shoulder worked. The drinks were good and it's a cool small vibe feel, but the rude service on a slower night was enough for us to go spend money elsewhere. read more

Great cocktails, rotating menu, friendly staff. Tip: cash only bar, so hit an ATM before coming. There is an ATM in the bar, user rates higher than your local ATM. read more

CASH ONLY Has that "posh in a dive" aesthetic. Very tight space. A full bar to enable true mixology. The menu looked great, but challenging the barkeep with off menu requests (I like a "fill in the blank" so make me something different) was fruitful. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Quality cocktails...unique venue...scary doll on the wall that follows you...clean bathrooms...amazing service and ownership...dear friends!

Bomb drinks! Bartender Morgan is a super server and great at his craft! Nice ambiance, nice menu and great location. read more

My absolute favorite bar in Lincoln. This is the place I recommend anytime someone is looking for a fun cocktail and a relaxed atmosphere

Amazing craft cocktails and a beautiful setting. I only wish they accepted credit cards.

Craft cocktails! I need not say more, but I will because this place is where you have to be. At Kate Martin they hand craft everything from the standard favorites to new exciting creations. The space has a warm inviting inside perfect for relaxing. There is a second bar -The Occidental- great for having a beer with some friends. Cash only, but they have an ATM. read more
