For those of you without a background in acoustic sciences, let me give you a simple lesson in the physics of sound. Â The intensity of sound is determined not only by the amount of sound pressure, but also the size of the space in which it is played. Â This simple concept of small spaces and large acoustic signals is what makes the Zoo bar so special.
Some of the acts that play here, you would not believe would play in such a small dive of a blues bar. Â These same artists sell out concerts halls, but you can see them in a much more intimate and acoustically devastating place right in downtown Lincoln. Â Without a trip to the Zoo Bar, you cannot say that you're lived in Lincoln, only existed.
There is only one Zoo Bar, and it is memorable!! Â The atmosphere is what you would expect of a REAL blues venue and it is worth the effort to experience it. Â Long and narrow, high ceilings, old posters signed all over the walls, Â subdued and perfect for Magic Slim, The Blues Messengers, or whoever is playing at the time. Â The graffiti in the restroom is great, but don't read for too long or there will be knocking on the door as there are always lots of patrons with full bladders wanting you to hurry up!! Â The Zoo Bar is a legend and I hope it stays around forever.
Review Source:Welcome to the world famous Zoo Bar right here in Lincoln, Nebraska USA. Â While attending the University of Nebraska, the Zoo Bar served as a nice change of pace from the typical college bars on O street. Â Artists such as Dave Alvin, Bo Diddley, and FortyTwenty have performed on this stage to a crowd filled with undergrad and grad students, hip locals, middle-aged blues fans, and many others. Â No matter what classification you claim or disclaim, you're in for a treat any night of the week here.
My personal experiences at the Zoo Bar have been pleasurable ones, although it can get packed due to the small size and confined design. Â If you're at the bar and need to go to the bathroom at the end of the narrow walkway next to the stage, good luck! Â I recall stepping outside and relieving myself on the Runza next store one night.
To sum up: excellent music; surrogate nightlife; you can enjoy a drink or go to the bathroom, but not both.
