Such an adorable place!…read more After dinner, went downstairs into the Starlite Lounge - and what an expansive menu. Got the Smortini and it was so so good - graham cracker rum and a toasted marshmallow on top. Yum! Vibes were amazing with a retro feel, and attentive staff. Definitely a must go next time you're in Downtown Lincoln - have to try to make a dent into that martini menu!

What a step back in time and a great nostalgic bar!…read more The pricing for the drinks seemed great and even some of the bourbon selection pours were worth it. I am definitely particular about my martinis. They crushed it on a gin martini - stirred, not shaken & vermouth rinsed - with a twist. Was perfectly done! We also tried a vodka one...was a 4 out of 5. Overall: great place to go and get drink with some friends! Will definitely be back.

This was the perfect venue for my Dad's 85th birthday party. We had 42 people -- 30 adults and 12…read morekids. The owner, Corinna, was wonderful helping us plan this party. The web site accurately described the venue and provided the info we needed for decorating and clean up. We had a slide show of photos of Dad's life in Plattsmouth and Lincoln which we screencast on the 50" TV. We catered the lunch from Valentino's and we utilized the cash bar/bartender provided by Urban Farmhouse. People enjoyed the round tables and farm house table for eating. People also enjoyed plenty of space to stand and mingle. A large table in front was great for serving ice cream and cake. Guests came locally from Lincoln and Omaha and also from Arkansas, California, Kansas, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Texas. We researched other venues and picked this spot because of the amenities, location, ground floor access for mature people, easy parking, and value for cost (very attractive/friendly compared to hotel ballrooms). Corinna and her bartender provided true midwest hospitality. The day was perfect and Dad felt very blessed to be surrounded by his extended family.

I've come here for 2 weddings now. This is located in downtown Lincoln at the Apothecary building…read more Close to many hotels, restaurants, bars, etc. plenty of room for any event. Has a bar, kitchen, food service area, dance floor and DJ booth. There are bathrooms right outside the room. The room runs about $350 per 1/2 day.

They have a special wedding weekend rental where you can rent the loft from Friday afternoon until noon on Sunday. This is what we did and since all of the guests were from out of town it allowed us to have a place for everyone to congregate during the weekend. There are actually two different lofts in the Apothecary--one small, one large. Each has an open area for seating, a kitchen area, and a master suite. We rented the large loft and it held approximately 100 guests comfortably. If you aren't too worried about the comfort of your guests you can probably squeeze in 130 or so. I highly recommend the Apothecary for any special event and Crystal is great to work with!

"Good for large fundraisers, dances, & weddings."…read more As I am writing this, Yelp has an incorrect listing for this building. It is actually located at 201 N. 7th St. in Lincoln's Historic Haymarket District. This location is good for large fundraisers, dances, & weddings. It is part of an historic train depot , which has since been turned into a Great Hall. It's run by Premier catering. According to their website: - Located in the Haymarket - Beautiful Marble Floors - 19 Foot High Ceilings - Seats up to 425 - Total Meeting Space - 6,100 sq. ft. - Total Number of Meeting Rooms - 1 - Food/Beverage Capabilities - Yes - Total Number of Sleeping Rooms - 0 Photos & a floorplan are also available here: http://www.premiercatering.net/lincolnstation.htm I've been to many different events here, & they all seemed to run smoothly. TIPS: - For out-of-towners, several nice hotels are within walking distance (even in 4" heels - just watch the cobblestone!). - For newlyweds - the Haymarket is a favorite place for outdoor wedding photos. - Bring cash. If there's an ATM inside, I can't find it. - If you're early to an event here, walk a block north & check out the water tower courtyard, brick relief of a train, & the old "retired" trains behind the building. There's also a train jungle gym for kids who need to run out some energy. - Excellent locally breweed beer & homemade ice cream next door, at Lazlo's & Ivanna Cone, respectively. - Use the south doors on the east side of the building. (next to the bronze guy on the bench) The entrances to the ballroom are often locked on the other side during events.

We found this amazingly, beautiful venue by chance, approximately just 4 months out from our…read morewedding date. This was after making the decision to cancel our 1st ceremony site & reception venue due to needing more space. It was definitely meant to be, because they had our date open in just that short amount of time. Both Nancy, Shelby & staff, were so accommodating & fantastic to work with! It was so convenient to be able to have our rehearsal dinner at the same location, as well as getting ready in the beautiful log house for the ceremony. There was absolutely no stress the day before, or day of the wedding. No matter if you have your own decorations, or use theirs, they take care of everything and set up for you! It was beautiful and dreamy... everything and more that we ever thought it would be. We more than recommend this venue for anyone who is considering a barn type of setting for your special day! It is both elegant and rustic, all in one.

He was encouraging when I was worried about the reception. He helped us with some set up, his food was fabulous, his staff was top of the line.

Thank you so much Matt, for making our daughter's dream come true.
