  Doc's Place = Thieves!
  
  Better Business Bureau complaint: <a href="/redir?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FAngie_Wass%2Fstatus%2F320619814517362688%2Fphoto%2F1&s=a0cc92daa7e20264e18f24860cbeac6e8fa06014d8aaf53892850caf66820a58" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/Angi…</a>
  
  While I used to enjoy going to your bar, I will never again step foot inside of it. Last night, I ordered a Moscow Mule for my friend and left my ID. I've ordered several Moscow Mules at your place before, and I understand and agree with the reason for leaving the ID. What I do not agree with is charging me $20 to get my ID back after your bartender forgot to give it back to me last night. If I or anyone else stole a mug, I would hope that he would have made note of it. Obviously, he did not, so taking $20 from me is nothing more than greed, poor customer service, and theft on YOUR part. What makes more sense... having your bartenders keep track of customers who steal things, or you stealing $20 from a good customer who would have came back and spent way more than $20 in the future?
  
  Note to Yelpers... go to Jack's next door or Starlite down the street!

  Great beer selection, good prices, DARTS!, decent crowd.  Service was ok, a little slow and the bartenders knew nothing about beer but they were at least nice.  Got lucky and hit this place on a home football weekend and it was still empty early but it looked to be filling up when we left.  Definitely worth a stop if in Lincoln and looking for some good beers on tap.

  A friend and I walked into here for the first time and we both thought it could be better. Definitely not as much of a welcoming vibe as you have in most bars, like other reviewers have pointed out, it seems to be much better if you're a regular. It seems like a good place to have some drinks with a group of friends.

  I have been going to Doc's on and off for a decade now.  The place is in a nice hidden location in the Haymarket it's off the beaten track from the usual plastic cup sipping college crowd.  I have noticed that the attendance is less that it was and if your not a regular you don't get very good service.  I miss the days of Kim and Heath who were fantastic bartenders.  I don't like the new bar staff at all, they seem too busy talking to themselves or their 'friends' at the bar.
  
  They used to service the most delicious Indian food in Lincoln, it was called 'Boss Curry' but alas there's no food anymore.  The mixed drinks are well executed but the beer selection on draft is next to nothing.  
  
  The place is in desperate need of a remodel with ripped black plastic leather stools at the bar, not very appeasing for a 'upscale martini bar'.  But Troy the owner is always friendly and stops by for a laugh.  
  
  I do stop by from time to time but if they remodeled the place I would be a regular again.

  I think this must be a bar that banks on business from regulars. And if you're a regular, that's awesome. If you're not, you can probably expect less than stellar service. That being said, when we finally did receive our martini's, they were quite delicious.

  I agree with Nikki B's review.  For somebody who is trying to avoid the rowdiness of "O" street on a saturday night, but is seeking someplace a bit more eclectic than Randy's Grill 'n Chill , give Doc's place a shot.

  Atmosphere leaves something to be desired, but no matter who's behind the bar, they will make you a perfect martini.

  This is the bar where we inevitably wind up everytime we go out.  More grown-up than the crowded college bars, but way more more fun than a stuffy martini bar.  Plenty of table seating, and a small quieter area with couches too.  Good beer selection, very friendly bartenders, & raspberry Lindemans Framboise on tap! Definitely a Haymarket gem.
  
  Doc's Place is located next to the Ridnour Room in the Apothacary building.  Often during wedding season, you'll see bridesmaids/groomsmen escaping from a reception (in the Ridnour Room) into Doc's.
  
  Beware:  The (very clean) bathrooms are located indoors, but outside of the bar, so don't get lost!
