    Crushed Ice Old Fashioned
    Mike F.

    A pre-crane drink was in order and somehow McCue's Nebraska Taproom was selected. Its gimmick is that it only sells beer brewed in Nebraska. For some unknown reason, I instead went with an Old Fashioned made with some Nebraska whiskey or another. When it arrived in a glass filled with crushed ice, I knew I should have went with an "Orange Dreamsicle Vanilla Bean Blonde Ale." It was also incredibly sweet, like it was made for a child. The place requires you to provide a credit card prior to ordering. When I asked if is was "because I don't look trustworthy?" the server replied that it was the only way to allow ordering via her tablet. I found the whole idea rather inhospitable, though Mrs. AAR rather liked it. Our rather untrusting server was from Jersey and when asked "what exit?" was flummoxed. As was I, as I've never met a New Jerseyite who didn't know or wasn't insulted by this joke. Our exit-less server subsequently mentioned we should dine next door at the Ally Rose.

    McCue's brings back nostalgia for many lifelong Kearney residents, in the location that used to house McCue's Market with everything from eggs to household items. When you walk into McCue's Taproom, the bar on your left has ~30 beers on tap, as well as many wine and spirits options. No food is available in house, but there are often food trucks parked in the back alley OR you can order food and have it delivered to McCue's from Alley Rose restaurant. The food truck "Hangries LLC" was on hand when we visited and it was delicious and filling. The best options from Nebraska breweries were awesome. Several high top and low top table options as well as barstools up to the bar. Groups of 2-20 would be able to find a spot to hang out inside or out on the back patio area. I'll definitely be back to McCue's when I'm back in Kearney!

    Just stepped in to look-see for first time. Nebraska made beers served here and is nice setting. No food options. I didn't ask if planned.

    Stopped in tonight with a buddy to have a drink. When we came in and sat down we were unaware we…read morehad to order food and drinks at the bar. A lady that was working the bar stopped and said " you need to order everything at the bar". We said ok and walked up there. Asked her how the pretzels were and if they were homemade. Apparently that was the wrong question to ask! She replied "well someone made them". She said they were "very good" so I ordered one with my drink. This whole time her demeanor was very rude. I shrugged it off as she was having a bad day. No worries. When she brought the pretzel out it looked as though it was freezer burnt and several years old and shriveled. Tasted like cardboard mixed with rubber. No taste. When this "waitress" returned with my buddies food i mentioned the pretzel was not good. she immediately snatched it off the table, said "Perfect!", walked back to the cash register, grabbed our credit cards we had for our tabs, walked back to our table and said, " i took the pretzel off and im closing both tabs". I've never been treated like this, and if i ever treated a customer like this it wouldn't end well for me! very sad!

    Cool place with a fenced side yard patio. They were super nice and allowed us to bring our dog…read moresince it wasn't very busy. I had the pale ale and it was good enough to warrant a second one. My boyfriend had their Mexican lager called South of the Border and he did not care for it. I took a sip and thought it tasted just like a Mexican lager. For his second beer he had their wheat beer and he really enjoyed that. We did not order any food as the only choice is pizza and we we pizza'ed out. Next time we are in the area we will perhaps try the pizza.
