Jack's Bar And Grill

About the best bar downtown as you dont have a bunch of really young college kids foolin around.  They have a decent large outside seating area.    If I go to a bar on game day this is one I can go to.

"BRIAN DID NOT OBSERVE THE SABBATH ON 5/2/10"

Part IV (Bar #4)

Memoir:
After bar #3, my eyes were shutting on their own accord (hey, I just ran a marathon hours earlier). I took a shower and a nap; then, I woke up refreshed to proceed to bar #4.

I had a pint of the 312 Wheat. It wasn't too good but for $3.50, I wasn't complaining.

I saw "Jager Barrel" on the board and asked what it was. The bartender said it was a Jager Bomb but instead of Red Bull, it was Root Beer.

After one too many bad nights of Jager Bombs, I was done with them but figured, hey, I'm in Nebraska. This is a first for everything. So I ordered a Jager Barrel. And it was delicious!

Young, college crowd (University of Nebraska) and some older people (the "I go to bars at 6pm on a Sunday" crowd)

They had some cheap food specials but I didn't order anything for fear of ruining dinner.

I'm partial to this bar so it gets the whole slew of stars.  There are two perfect times to go to Jack's.  First is any weeknight past hump day after 10:30-ish.  The haymarket is filled with restaurants and almost all people from the industry flood this place after their tables are done and the kitchens close.  Be ready to drink ... a lot and be outgoing enough to make some friends because the social space can be limited and you can encounter some click nazis, but hey that is just part of Lincoln.  The other time is Sunday at noon.  They have 30 cent taco's and the usual bartender, Miles, makes some of the best god damn bloody marries I've ever had.  This is a day drinking event, so be prepared to strap on your booze goggles and take a necessary nap in the afternoon, a perfect Sunday.
