Sandy's

We hit Sandy's a little after 6pm on a saturday night. Stopped in for a drink while waiting for the concert venue next door to open.Large bar. Nice beer selection, package service it appeared. as well as simpsons playing on the televisions and a Kiss pinball machine (sounds great in my book already) Had some good conversation with the bartender.he was very friendly open and had been working there a long time.I am not familiar at all with Lincoln, and he was very helpful educating me.After the concert we stopped back in and it was HAPPENING!!Great activity with the 21-25 age group and a couple of people in their 30's. This was outside of the school year so i am sure it would be a different experience another time.I really enjoyed stopping in and chatted with the keep again for a while. Had a good time and would return again

Great game day vibe. Fun to stalk tables to sit with your Elk Creek. Avoid the bathrooms as game time approaches

Neat place that smelled awful. Tried the infamous Elk Creek juice which tasted like OJ and cheap vodka. Couple nice bartenders but no need to rush back.

2 stars and not 1 because I chatted with some super cool bartenders. And the place is iconic as far as Lincoln, NE is concerned. A few bartenders however (and technically you could argue all of them because complicity and give this place a negative 2) were not so cool. We noticed a bunch of giggling and pointing to the bottle in my photo - Absolute Grapefruit. Someone took a black sticker and placed it strategically over the G so the bottle reads Rapefruit. AND NO ONE FIXED IT. They just laughed and laughed. Not cool Sandy's. I won't be back.

ZERO STARs if Possible. I'm in my thirties and know how to hold my liquor. The bouncer said I was too intoxicated they couldn't let me and my spouse in. I asked for a breathelizer, none available. Are you kidding me? They let my 21 y.o. sister in no problem. Is this age discrimination?! I spent my money at another bar. Shame on you Sandy's! Do better.

To put in context this is a game day, everyone had been drinking and the man leading my blind friend was a lot more drunk than he was. Not only that but all of the other people were at the same level of intoxication On Friday November 26th at roughly 10:05pm, me and four of my friends attempted to enter your establishment. When we went to enter this establishment I was with a blind man that was immediately discriminated against. There was a few minutes of a verbal altercation before the first bouncer took this blind man to the ground in a choke hold from behind. He essentially body slammed my friend on the ground, from behind, again my friend is blind. Breaking his cane. This was ON THE PUBLIC sidewalk and not within the building. Which would constitute as an assault. He got up and was the verbal altercation continued because now he had just been assaulted when the other gentleman pushed him and made him hit his head. We have multiple photos of the damages done to my friend including injuries to his head, neck, shoulder, chest and knees. The best thing to do for my friend was get him away from these men who were obviously on a power trip. However the injuries that he has resulted from this are absolutely Ludacris. Especially because the one bouncer stated that he works with disabled people for his day job. From my understanding the public sidewalk is not within jurisdiction and these two men assaulted my friend pretty heavily. I would question who you have as a bouncer for your establishment. They discriminate and they are on a power trip.

I was hanging across the street last night saw a blind man and his friend miss the crosswalk sign (crazy cause hes blind right, he couldnt see the light) and then when his group Called himBack your bouncers singled him out as "too drunk" and when he said "why because I am blind" they said no cause you are slurring your words, but actually this was the first they had heard him speak and when he called themOn it, and calledThem to the carpet on the fact they were singling him out due soley to his disability, they pushed him, threw him, and beat him down. Then he got really mad (who wouldn't after being picked on and then beaten), and they continued much of the same until his friends took him away to end the situation that your bouncers created. I was able to get one of the friends numbers and found out he was hospitalized for his injuries! I just couldnt believe your bouncers were physically assaulting a handicapped person. Luckily I got a bit of video I will be sending on to their lawyer. Shocked and apalled honestly.

Always a fun atmosphere! Love the swamp water too. Makes watching the game a little easier

Huge disappointment. Staff was rude. Drinks were terrible. Table was sticky. Bathrooms were dirty. Best thing is we checked this off our list so we never have to go again. Their "signature" Elk Creek drinks tastes like hotdog water and Tang. Pass.

-5 stars* Completely RUDE and unprofessional staff. This place was very fun during college, as we went almost every weekend for years. These last 2 visits in the last 6 months were so bad I will never ever be back.. even if I could drink free all night
