Bars in Lincoln

Vis Major Brewing is Lincoln's most acclaimed craft brewery — a Haymarket district taproom producing exceptional IPAs and seasonal beers for Nebraska's state capital and university community. The Haymarket District's transformation from a railyard to one of Lincoln's most vibrant entertainment neighborhoods creates an ideal community context for a craft brewery as community-focused as Vis Major.

WarHorse Casino Lincoln is among the first legal casinos in Nebraska's history following the 2020 constitutional amendment, bringing gaming entertainment to Nebraska's capital city. The casino's bar and entertainment space serves Lincoln and the broader Nebraska gaming market as the state builds out its new legal gaming infrastructure with multiple WarHorse and other casino properties opening across Omaha and beyond.

Zipline Brewing is Lincoln's most popular craft brewery — producing Copper Alt and other outstanding Nebraska beers that have made it the state capital's most recognized craft beer brand. Nebraska's craft beer scene, energized by the state's agricultural abundance of corn, wheat, and hops, finds one of its finest expressions in Zipline's quality-focused production.

Zipline Brewing Company is Lincoln's most beloved craft brewery — a Haymarket-adjacent institution producing outstanding ales and lagers that have established Lincoln as one of Nebraska's finest craft beer cities. Lincoln's extraordinary outdoor culture (cycling, running, and outdoor recreation on the 130+ mile Homestead Trail) and Zipline's consistent excellence create a brewery taproom of genuine Nebraska outdoor craft beer culture significance.

Zoo Bar is one of America's most celebrated blues bars — a tiny 100-capacity Lincoln institution that has earned international recognition among blues enthusiasts for presenting extraordinary live blues every week since 1973. Named the best blues bar in America multiple times by national publications, Zoo Bar has hosted everyone from Muddy Waters and Junior Wells to today's finest touring blues artists in an intimate setting that creates an unusually powerful concert experience. A pilgrimage destination for any serious blues music fan.
