I've been coming to brothers for a while and I mostly enjoy my time here. Drinks are super cheap, but sometimes it's too busy to even get served, especially on Thursdays towards the end of a semester. My drink order gets messed up sometimes, but that's not a huge problem for me. There's always a place to sit and the tables are pretty big. There's a lot to do so it's never boring being here

I really wanted to play shuffle board but It costs 2 dollars to play! Bowling ally is doesn't have enough oil either.

This is a decent place to come have a drink. The kitchen Isn't open right now but for it being a Thursday it was pretty pippin. They have a lot of options for drinks pretty cheap and who else lets you drink for free on your birthday? No where I know of. The music is awesome so are the bartenders. If you're in the area and looking for a fun atmosphere even during Covid, come on down!

I've been going to Brothers every Husker Game weekend since 2019 and it never fails to amaze me. Great environment, great drinks, great DJs, great people, if you want to have a great night in Lincoln I'd highly recommend Brothers bar and grill! Great place!

Friendly service, fun atmosphere. My wife and I travel across the country every year and whenever our travels take us through Lincoln, a stop at Brothers is on the list. Their drink specials are always awesome, my wife enjoys the music, and the bartenders do an excellent job. We always sit at the bar to people watch and hang out, and they are attentive to us. Keep up the good work, we look forward to our next trip through Lincoln.

We visited Lincoln recently and spent some time at Brothers before the Nebraska/Ohio State football game. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming of everyone, including the Ohio State fans. The burgers were some of the best we've had. The sides (French fries and cheese curds) were very generous portions and also delicious.
The atmosphere was comfortable and enjoyable. After the game, the bar was packed and everyone seemed to be having a great time.
We highly recommend Brothers Bar and Grill and will visit again the next time we're in Lincoln!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Steve S.Omaha, NE289074Feb 14, 2018
We went here on a Wednesday afternoon before a show at the Bourbon. I had a little while to kill before the show so a cheap pitcher of Busch light...5.50 on Wednesdays fit the bill. It was almost empty, and we just relaxed for a bit. I plan on doing that again next time I am going to a show.

I didn't have food here, just drinks. The drinks were cheap, and it wasn't a terrible selection of beer, though they had tapped the kegs of beer I wanted by the time I got there (10pm on a Friday - wtf?) so I was left with little choice.
The prices are reasonable, but I suppose that's compared to the Northeast. It was crowded there, and they could use some more hightop tables, but overall it's a decent place to hang out and chat (or yell over music) with your friends.
It's also pretty easy to get to, and it's downtown, so why not? We'll probably be going back the next time we're in the city.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

I love your feedback. I'm just sorry I wasn't in charge at this point to help make this a 5-star review instead of a 2-star.
What do you think we could have done better? I'd like to know so that when you do happen to venture down from the northeast into quaint little Nebraska, you'll be sure to have the best possible time at our establishment. - Kenna D.Hartley, Lincoln, NE01Feb 25, 2021
Had an incredibly disappointing experience at brothers tonight. Me and a few girl friends were coming in and were surprised to hear there was a cover on a thursday night. The bouncer acted like we were idiots for being surprised. He asked if we even spoke english. We quickly paid the bouncer, never intending not too, just a bit surprised as we hadn't see that before at this location on a Thursday. He continually gave us attitude, swore at us and spoke to us in a manner that no women should be spoken to in. None of us were speaking to him in that manner. I attempted to deescalate the situation and he swore at us again, saying he couldn't believe we needed him to repeat himself and again asking us if we spoke english. He then told us that all our ID's were probably fake "as sh*t". They are not. I am appalled and insulted and I hope to see a change in the way the employees here treat their costumers. (His name is Larry).

Brothers is one of the most inhospitable bars i've ever been to. My friends and I were treated rudely by the staff and we had to wait an eternity for our drink orders to get filled.
To put it a little more succinctly, if you're in your late 20s or in your 30s, these pricks are going to ignore you. If you're a frat brother or a sorrority sister they'll go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The staff's disdain and utter contempt for clientele 30 or older could not be more obvious.
I guess the management is of the opinion that since P.O. Pears went out of business they have some sort of mandate to serve the college crowd. Problem is, that restaurant never treated it's older customers quite as shabbily or with as much utter contempt as Brothers. I know for sure I won't be going there ever again.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
