  Glur's (pronounced 'Glu-ers', not 'glers' - I was corrected by a local) was exactly what I was hoping for.  Two people working, one cooking and another waiting on the 20 or so people inside.  Building is old (as advertised) but clean, with the exception of the men's room which had a non-functional toilet.  (That's why the one-star ding.)  Everybody was really nice.
  
  The food is Bar Food.  Burger, hot Ham & Cheese, Chicken Sandwich.  Fried Sides.  I had a fried chicken sandwich that was just like the ones served in taverns in the south - chicken, pickle, onion on a white bread bun.  Delicious!  
  
  If you're looking for a salad bar or an overly-perky wait staff Glur's is not for you.  If you want a really good burger & a cold beer then it's the place to be!

  My dad found this as soon as we got into Columbus, and if he finds something, you know it's good.
  This place is just as the name and building suggests- an old tavern that isn't quite like the new bars. It has a nice charm to it with a lot of hunting stuff and, of course, Miller beer signs. You can see the kitchen, which looks like a kitchen you'd have in an appartment except instead of a stove it has a big grill. And a fryer.
  The food is just good ol' American food- burgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, fries, etc. They have a special fries which is a potato cut into thin circles and then fried. It's really REALLY greasy but it's good!! I ate a ton of them and I usually don't eat potato products. Their sausages are superb, and the chicken sandwiches are average good. They're known for their burgers, which I have no idea why we didn't get them, so it you go there try those ;)
  The only downside was that they had a tv on full volume playing some way old soap, and soon it got pretty annoying.
  The server and the cook, who's the owner, were extremely nice and helpful, as everyone who lives in Nebraska seems to be.

  How is there not a review of this until now?   This review is based on my visit last summer while traveling through Nebraska.
  
  Having opened in 1876, this is the oldest continually-operating bar in Nebraska and one of the oldest in the west. It was a favorite spot of Buffalo Bill and more recently of Leon Sphinx.
  
  It was still early in the day and we were the only customers.  Though it's well maintained and somewhat modernized on the inside, it still retained the feel of a bar over 140 years old.
  
  We really, really wanted souvenir glasses from here, but they were in the basement and the bartender had a broken foot and couldn't get them for us.  :(
