  I am SUPER jealous of ya'll in Lincoln.  As a former volleyballer, I would LOOOOOVE to have a bar that featured a chance to play sports too.  I imagine I could get fairly motivated to exorcize if beer was involved.   This place is huge btw, the pictures don't do it justice. It looks like a warehouse!
  
  My brother introduced me to this place and I've got to say, William, you know your bars.  For whatever reason that day the pizza really appealed to me.  It had pepperoni, jalapenos and cream cheese, pretty much a winner.  I was surprised that even though it was a personal pan sized pizza I couldn't finish it, in fact I think two of the slices would have done me just fine.  
  
  I think everything on that menu looked great and I'd love to go back.  Hopefully I can join someone's game volleyball and spend a day watching some Huskers on all those TV's.

  We stopped at Spikes last week after a business meeting in Lincoln. They had Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat and the Goose Island Winter Ale ON DRAFT! I've been here lots of times before during volleyball leagues and the place is packed. Great food, excellent beer selection and friendly and efficient staff, plus 50 or so TV's for all the games. Their food is excellent too, not your typical bar fare. I highly recommend it to anyone in the Lincoln area or driving through. It's near the corner of 27th and Cornhusker, so pretty convenient to I-80.

  Summer fun!
  
  I used to play at Spikes back when they were located on Nebraska's State Fairgrounds.  Their new location is huge, & I love it.
  
  There's about a dozen outdoor sand courts, where they host summer & fall leagues.  I play with friends, but this is perfect for something like a company league.  I've never seen it, but I hear they have indoor courts for off-season leagues.
  
  Plenty of picnic tables for "cheerleaders", or to stash your shoes & cell phones while you play.  There's a small kids' area with some playground equipment, but I would recommend not letting your kid run loose, as it can get kinda rowdy.
  
  Big bar inside, which serves food.  Mini-bar outside, which serves beer.  Waitresses will also bring pitchers to your court if you're playing.
  
  TIP:
  - Bring heavy-duty bug spray.  The courts are next to some un-developed land, which breeds mosquitoes!
  - Wear flip-flops, bring your ID & $$, but leave your purse in the trunk.  Less stuff to haul around, & you can hose off the sand before you get into your car.
  - I've never been single at this place, but it DOES seem like a great place to meet singles, if you're looking.

  I played on Spike's volleyball leagues for years before moving to Chicago.  They sponsored leagues around town at different bars and out at State Fair Park.  Things sure have changes since I've been gone!
  
  The owners have now opened their own sports bar & grille.  It's a brand new facility with probably... oh... 10 sand courts and about 3 indoor courts.  The place is huge!!  My friends and ex-teammates are still playing with them so now that I've moved back home, I go out to watch every now and then.
  
  Last week, we stayed to eat afterwards.  My friend and I shared the Little Kahuna nachos (it's a half order of the big kahuna) and there was still way more than we could finish!  The prices are really reasonable and I think our bill was only about $11 including our drinks.  (huge difference compared to Chicago!!)
