Amazing food! Only thing I really had a problem with was the salad. Great salad but on their menu you can order a SIDE salad for $3.99 but was told AFTER getting the salad they don’t have side salads and charged $13! That’s nice to know. Service was kinda slow for only 1 other table besides ours.
Very good food. Friendly staff. Huge drink assortment. Budget friendly.
Nothing better than Barrys rooftop with your pals and cold beer. Very cold.
Great service, cool atmosphere and turned the game on.
So awesome place with great service and amazing views from the roof top but gosh darn it the floor sticky, not flip flop friendly to say the least, you gonna have to Dylan on the Dylans with the Dylans to make it outta there with you flip flops its so sticky, im guessing they dont own a mop based off how sticky it is, besides that place fire! Will be returning! LIVERPOOL!
Should have known not to stay when NO ONE was eating there at 6 pm on a summer Friday in The Haymarket. Food was not seasoned well and dry. The Philly cheesesteak was oversalted. Service was playing on their phones with their feet up on the bar. Do not recommend.
The rooftop bar is honestly a vibe and really the key selling point for this place. Super lovely in the evening. I was a little let down by the downstairs dance floor though. There was no real flow or consistent energy from the music being played and ultimately just could have been a better vibe - it was packed just not many people dancing! Also kind of wild that there was a cover
Took an hour to get our food when we were two tables seated. Food wasn’t that great. Nothing special there at all. Our waitress was nice though.
One of the workers/bartenders at Barrys pushed my friend down to the ground. We were sitting in a stair way and she was really rude to us. We started to move away from the stairwell to not cause any problems because she said that we should go sit at a table and then she proceeded to use her shoulder to push my friend down. After she pushed my friend to the ground, she didn’t even check on her to make sure she’s okay. It was rude and you need to make sure your employees don’t use physical violence on paying customers. I understand how annoying it is if we were in the way and she wanted us to move, but your employee being physical with her was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. Please make sure that doesn’t happen again.
Extremely disappointed after last night, bartender was extremely unprofessional and horrible. Looked at me multiple times, knew I was there waiting, served EVERYONE around me through 2 rounds of people, about 10 people. Which is fine since it was busy, then it was our groups turn to order and she again looked at me, no acknowledgement whatsoever to say Ill get you in a second or anything, and then completely ignores me to serve another group of 10 of her friends that came up to the bad 5 minutes AFTER I was standing there. I/we stood there 20 minutes waiting, no hi, no hold on, no Ill get you next, nothing, this is NOT how business is done and is shameful. So basically if you dont personally know the bartender I suppose you dont get served, what a disgrace. This is a poorly run bar with horrible customer service and WAS one of my fav bars until now I dont even think I want to return again and will no longer be recommending it and sending business their way, after blatantly being ignored. Good job losing a loyal customer.
I’ve been in the past and had a great time. A perfect spot for a sunny Saturday afternoon. However, today I tried to go again. The opening time posted on the door said 11am. The opening time on Google said 11:30am. I tried to go after 11:30 and the staff was inside sitting at the bar but said “we’re not open yet”—this reflects poor management in my opinion. We went elsewhere.
Waitresses were nice, however security made false accusations of us hiding bottles even after patting us down, severely ruined the vibe with their falsely placed confidence.
Waitress sat at the bar eating dinner with her back to us. I understand people need to eat, but sit so you can accommodate your tables. Co worker had to go ask her for a beer. Chicken wings were on the edge of uncooked.
I love Barrys happy hour specials. They are a great place to what NHL since they are one of the few bars that gets the NHL sports package. A few times, they even turned the sound on for me! I like their club night too and the have a beautiful rooftop!
Good place to have some drinks with friends and meet others.Great service by staff.However its alarming to see a light fixture in the bathroom pouring water into the sink below.
Barrys has the potential to be a good Bar. But when you look at a crowd of 20-30 year Olds, we dont want to hear music from the 80s and 90s with all the music being produced today. Songs produced literally over 30 years ago are being played every weekend. The DJs are absolutely HORRID!!!Weekend after weekend. We dont want to hear 80s or 90s. We dont want to hear Miley Cyrus or Justin Bieber. We want to hear whats relevant. If you cant find djs that play relevant music than just play the radio. Until than I am just done with Barrys. Absolutely sick and tired of hearing irrelevant music. Take a look around, nobody is dancing. Get better DJs or sell this bar off to someone else that understands the importance of good djs.
Good food and nice place, but they need to make the eating part a bit more user friendly e.g. things that are easy to handle in the dark, writing on the piece of paper in the dark and making it visible to the server that your need something, like a refill, pens that work more often, etc.). We had to try four pens before finding one that worked for the bill. The light under the table is an interesting idea, but thats not useful for food on the table or writing on the table. But overall, good for the movies, comfort, and food that they serve.
Barrys is well suited for its location. Just outside of the University. Its a nice place for me to be to hang out. The night that I was there with a younger friend of mine, not really my scene. It was after a Huskers game. Way too many people there. If I was back in college it would be perfect.
Went in on a Friday night prior to a Husker game. Expected it to be busier than it was but not anywhere near what I would consider a busy night. Grabbed my first drink from the bar very quick, sat at a table with two others. Finished the drink and sat there for close to half an hour while the waitress talked to her friends, security, bartenders, everybody except our table. Ended up going back to the side bar and got a drink right away from a very nice bartender but misquoted me the price on a drink so ended up paying $7 more for a drink that I was told would be $4. Went back to the table, finished, began waiting again to no avail. Went to the front bar as the side had closed by then. Bartender took my order quickly enough, got the stuff to make it, held it while talking to security, friends sitting at the bar, other bartenders, doing nothing with the bottles she held. Finally makes it, picks it up to bring over to me, turns around after walking half the bar to me to return to the conversation. I get my drink after they finish.A few weeks prior I had called in to inquire about what requirements had to be met to have one of the booth in the club area they have out back. Guy talked to on the phone was nice, took down my name and number to have their event manager call me back. Never happened.Im a big fan of the rooftop bar and have been looking forward to it opening up since I heard it was being built. Now I dont know if Ill go back.
My husband and I entered Barry’s at 5:30 pm today. Our order ticket (which we had to give him a credit card up front for) was posted at 5:47. We finally asked our waiter about our meal at 6:20. He brought it to us at 6:30 with a verbal apology. We asked him to wipe the table. He returned with a wadded up wet napkin to wipe off the table. At that point we asked for napkins and silverware. The sweet potato fries were good and hot. The chicken fingers were warm at best. There were not a lot of people there. Most of the staff was standing behind the bar. Our waiter was drinking something behind the bar. Very disappointing. If I could have given less than one star, I would have.
The rooftops the best however bad experience last time had no cash and for some strange reason they think they are nightclub in Manhattan and they have the sponsor dude demanding $3 to go upstairs Im like last time we just went upstairs. Well I had no cash on me just credit card and they wanted me to use ATM which would cost me another $5 I thought it was a rip-off I asked how about the bar just charged me $3 he said no they need to change that policy about the upstairs roof or change the way you can pay! Bad business
Good for cheap beer and game day atmosphere. Not a sophisticated hot spot, or somewhere you’ll find fancy craft beer. It is difficult to get served at the upstairs bar when busy. But a fun night out.
Great atmosphere great bartenders drinks were very well made worth the price Is during husker game days Actually cheaper than some places Ive visited Around the area Love the upper deck
Smells like piss and underage vomit most weekend nights. Not sure how ppl can order food from such a disgusting establishment. Crowd here consists mostly of Frat Stars and Sorority Queens. Music is awful and too loud up top. If you are looking for a nice, classy rooftop bar, look elsewhere .
The bartenders are friendly. The roof top is awesome!! The club is roomy and nicely set up. One of my top spots for down town.
Not a great experience, but it could be worse. The people that go here aren’t people I’d want my worst enemy to socialize with. Obviously not everyone but the atmosphere and kind of people it attracts does not equal an enjoyable night, beautiful rooftop however.
Great place to go and grab a drink. The dance floor is almost always full and without a doubt always a good time. I mean there are at least four separate bars within Barrys. Highly recommended.
Best place for a pregame beer on Husker gamedays. The rooftop gets crowded early, so snag a seat. Otherwise, plenty of TVs downstairs. Really good bloody marys and fair ever process. The marching band performs here before every game. For visiting fans, its a must.
I cant vote any lower. Game day. The bouncer said we are closing at one. I asked why. He said because we want too. Bad business. He said we dont care about u. We have more money coming from the university kids under 21. Wow. Good business.
I like this place because it has a scenic view of downtown Lincoln from its roof. The roof bar is a cool feature, plus Im a Nebraska Alum so I gotta give props to Barrys Husker Brand. There has been friction between the owners and the Nebraska Liquor Commission, but Lincoln is a college town and this friction is not entirely unique. Personally, when out at Barrys I have not seen any one person who has appeared intoxicated to the extreme.
The bar was typical sports bar, the bar tender was great , I didnt get her name ( I asked her if her name was Barry, she said No - but she didnt give her name) but she was very knowledgeable about the area, and was very helpful in directing us a great ice cream store. P.S. she said her favorite flavor was cinnamon
Its Barrys - typical college bar with a rooftop deck + 10 below (club) in the back. Lots of bars to get served quickly, and now they serve BBQ on the main floor. Fun place to hang out.
Buyer beware!!!! Was here on a thursday night(seemingly the most happening place on Thurs nights). Atmosphere was good. They got a dance floor, bar, and roofbar. BUT. I had a double shot drink was overcharged(18 for 2 drinks(doubles but a single is 3). for me was still cheap but worse was watered down liquor. My associate also noticed. went to a different location different drink, same thing. I live in vegas, I know my alcohol. They probably figure the collage kids here dont know. Just get bottled beer. which I found to be the best option. Good luck.
It is a bar. The space itself is variable and there are options for what kind of seating you want. I only go if its not a weekend evening.Big college bar.
I was clearly sober and the bouncer wouldn’t let me in to find a friend while my phone was dead, extremely unpleasant experience and their security was extremely rude. I was left outside in the cold, would not recommend as their security team is extremely power hungry.
I’m apparently uncultured but fun
The Rooftop is great. Never had a bad time. Dress to impress on the weekends. Great views of downtown Lincoln. Really fun to see the Sea of Red from on game days.
Good place to hang out if not going the the football game, great atmosphere.
Worst service I have ever gotten at a bar. I have gone here a few times and gotten terrible service every time. At first I gave them a little credit but after a few trips there I always have the same experience. The bartenders/waitresses purposely pick and choose who they want to serve. My most recent trip there is a perfect example. A few friends and I planned on going here to watch the NFL draft. One of my friends got there first, there was only three other customers in the bar, two bartenders and two waitresses. He sat for ten minutes without anyone coming up to him. I show up and sit at the table and we wait for five more minutes without being addressed. Finally we go to the bar, the bartender pays no attention to us as I sit there holding out my money waiting.So eventually I have to try very hard to get his attention. Once we get our drinks we sit down and another friend shows up. Again no one comes up to us. Here is the part that angered me beyond belief and totally offended all of us. A group of three guys show up, wearing their button up shirts and spiked hair. One of the bimbo waitresses immediately walks up to them and takes their order. This was unbelievably offensive especially at a place in the customer service industry and sadly not the only time I have gotten this treatment at Barrys. This place is pathetic and I will never return. I will definitely do my best to let everyone I know what kind of a joke this place is.
Honestly a pretty cool place, great selection of drinks, wonderful place on a sunny day for a drink. Only downside was the bartender being visibly upset I ordered a beer instead of a drink she didnt just have to open the tab on.
Great time on the new rooftop space! New ownership is making lots of improvements. Good food, good service, good friends. Thanks, Barrys!!
Cool place but a little over rated. It looks cooler from the outside...geared towards college students. I havent had the chance to check out the deck so Ill be back for that on a nice night and for their decently priced drinks.
We went on the rooftop bar for a birthday party and it was lots of fun. They had a few TVs and a beanbag game, but the had very limited kids drinks. This place is also a bar. It does not have a lot of food
What a great place to be on a Wednesday night! They have Bingo every week and it is just a damn good time. The Bingo announcer is also extremely attractive and basically a comedian. Highly recommend!
I was kicked out by the security guards for being too intoxicated. I was just dancing and having a fun time with me friends, buzzed but not drunk, and the security kicked me out. This is a bar with a dance floor in the back, miss a few steps and youre booted though.
Barrys ejects intoxicated patrons without ensuring they have a safe way to get home.We visited on New Years Eve and were getting ready to leave after a friend got sick when we were confronted by uniformed police officers. We were told we had to leave immediately and to do so out of a specific door in the back. This wasnt an issue since we were already leaving, but the officers followed us outside and began to threaten us.The officers let our friend know that they would not be taking any action against her and that she wont be charged, as if she had done something illegal by throwing up in a restroom. They went on to tell her that if she did try to come back they would take her to jail. The officers were obviously trying to intimidate our friend, which was completely unnecessary and served only to escalate the situation. That combined with the fact that they ejected an intoxicated person without ensuring that they could leave safely is dangerous and shows that Barrys would rather open themselves up to liability than take care of their customers.
I left walking in the rain without my jacket, because someone stole it off of the cheap rack they have placed in a dark corner near the busy and loud dance floor. Poor design and poor execution from a business. I would expect more from a bar in the Haymarket, especially one that charges well for average drinks. Im not surprised that this same bar has recently been under scrutiny for multiple liquor license violations. Also, they have VIOLATED HEALTH CODE by having the SEWAGE DRAINS BACKUP onto the dance floor and in both the Mens and Womens bathrooms. Disgusting, I DO NOT RECOMMEND. This place has lowered the bar (pun intended) among every food/drink establishment in Lincoln. They deserve to be shut down.
Great local bar. Only negative was someone needs to learn how to use a mop. The floor was so sticky it almost pulled my shoe off & that was early in the day.
Worst bouncers in Lincoln. They think they work for the FBI or LPD. Food is trash as well.
Good drinks, kind of pricey for the size of the drinks in comparison to other bars. Ive also experienced long wait times for the bartenders to take my food order which especially made the food price not worth it at all regardless of the specials of the day!
Not a bad rating. Not a 4 star either. Sometimes you can just do better. Fries were awesome..
Always busy.. hit the rooftop and tip your waitress. True husker experience, but also just like every other bar ever. Don’t be fooled by the hype.
The bouncer patted us down and tested us to make sure we were able to come in
Wish i could give 0 stars. Entire experience was horrible. Walk up and get told its a 5 dollar cover because of the nebraska spring game. Pay the cover and walk in. Find an open table which of course is sticky and has a pile of salt in the middle. Floor has holes, we were largely ignored other than someone asking for a donation. After about 5 min we are approached by a server with no menus on table, drink or otherwise. No menus offered. One of us asked for mt dew and the server says flatly we dont have mt dew no offer of what they actually did have. We threw away 30 dollars on cover charges to have 3 sodas and 1 alcoholic drink before leaving immediately. Best advice is to avoid like the plague.
Best food I ever had! Staff is excellent, I love the atmosphere.
Ive been here a couple of times visiting old friends and going to football games.This is always a fun little spot. The later it gets the louder the music gets so be ready for that and enjoy.
Great place to drink after the football games... once everything calms down after the games the places tends to be very dirty and floors are kinda nasty.Typical college bar but a good place to drink a beer or two.
Premiere spot to visit while in Lincoln Nebraska! Rooftop excellence along with everything else. Highly recommend!
Fun place to eat, lots of sports on TVs and plenty of beer choices. Game day is packed, get there earlier and try the roof bar and seating above the street. Good times.
The food took forever and they don’t have real cups nor lids and loud music and two people working not the correct orders and only one menu
Bad service, food wasnt good either, their signature sauce was so overpowering you couldnt taste the beef. No wonder there wasnt a line outside on game day.
Bartender was very cool. Thursday night so not much going on.
The fact that this place still has their liquor license and is allowed to do business in Lincoln is insane. The Haymarket and Railyard deserve better than a place that continues to put patrons at risk.
The new Barry’s is interesting. I had 3 beers and was just sparking up a conversation with the bartender and he told me that I needed to drink a water before he would serve me again.
Amazing food,great drink selection, nice atmosphere
Has taken over 1 and half hours for food absolutely ridiculous good food but not worth the wait 1 cook but 5 bar tenders. It was barry slow.
Security is on it. Felt very safe. Fun place to be. Drinks yummy and reasonably priced.
Barrys is an unprofessional business managed by young bigots. They are notorious for letting underage persons into the bar and serving them. They are not informed on how to properly check IDs at the door due to the college employment they employ.
Just plain awesome what else can I say... Dance floor was full... Drinks was made right for the cost... Recommended for the end of your night.
As a cook there i love the high standards we have to follow. It means good food awesome atmosphere and one heck of a good time.
Interesting.. not my cup of tea, but they had the hockey game on so I was good! Roof top bar was pretty cool too
If it’s a party bar night, this place is okay, nothing special. During the day though, service is dismal and food is basic. Once waited 45 minutes for service with on four other people in the whole bar.
GameDay burger was good. Service was great. Beer was cold. Winning!
Game day place for Husker Football. Crowded. Can be a pain if you dont like dealing with crowds. May take a bit of work to get a beer on game day which is to be expected given the amount of people.
Service was o.k. As well as the food (chicken cordon blue) fries were the best!Scenery is unmatched downtown.
It was my 30th High school reunion and it was great
If youre coming for food and seating, youll most likely be disappointed with service but they have great events and I love the rooftop deck.
Security haves a power trip very cocky bad for business 2 beer and you got go and I was by myself not even talking to anybody there I was out of town working want be back
Glad they were open Husker game day. Considering the crowd, they did a great job of service.
Great time here!
The drinks aren’t great but the atmosphere is. Definitely a college bar, but they have awesome deals and fun events
Love the rooftop, but their drinks can be pretty overpriced. They have specials sometimes, which can be really nice!
Great service little blonde girls was a sweet heart she was pleasant and awesome. Over all great bar
Wes was amazing with her service and amazing smile! I already like this place but she definitely made me like it more!
Started a bachelor party here. Drinks were not over priced. Place was packed. Total college bar.
Nice place if you want to stay inside or go outside to the rooftop.
Total college bar. This place is probably one of the cheapest place to get drinks and seems to be packed all of the time. If that is the place for you have fun!
This bar has something fun just about every night of the week. Its loud and wild so if youre looking for that, then Barrys is the place for you.
Busy on event days so expect 50 minute wait for chicken wings.
Don’t bother patronizing this place. Service and drinks are not worth the cover charge.
The service was very slow they seemed to be under staffed on a nebrasktball game day but there werent even that many people in Barrys gonna have to find a new pregame spot
Went on Easter. Not busy. Great bartender. Gave us a tour
Great place for all ages. Good food and staff. Close to Haymarket, memorial stadium, and downtown.
Super cool. Love the rooftop bar! Oh and they have a corner bar specifically for shots.
Wasnt clean and smelled bad like teenager dirty feet. I couldnt stay any longer than 5 minutes.
Great place ...We had a cocktail on the roof top..
My home on game days.The patio has the best view.
Waitress was super nice but the service was horrible. Had to get our own menus, no napkins and then had to flag the waitress down to get our bill.
Sup brah! Lets get some drinks brah! Total frat bro bar. If thats for you then awesome have fun but if not choose something else
The rooftop bar is awesome when the weathers nice, and they have a lot of great drink specials.
Love sitting on the roof watching downtown Lincoln. Service not great, but very fun atmosphere.
Nice rooftop, lots of bartenders to help you. College crowd mostly.Better during the summer.
Great service, with just the right vibe for anyone .
This is the College Bar. Great atmosphere, good drinks and staff. Can order food too.
Good happy hour specials on a fun rooftop. Crowded on weekends and covers are common.
Went in the afternoon place was empty, they (staff) never once came to ask if anyone wanted a drink, wish I hadnt tipped. Rude and unappreciative staff, never again.. not even football season, no excuse..
Great staff. Fun place with good bloody Marys
I tired to wait until my phone was charged but a worker named Ryan kicked me out for waiting next to the cash register for my phone to charge. I was waiting for an hour in a half outside where I could have gotten rapped
Go here because you need a reliable place to eat and drink, because no matter how busy it is, the staff can take care of you!
Probably the best place in Lincoln on game day. Located in the Hay Market district. Huge place!
Great bar for young people especially college student lots of drink option
No air conditioning or fans in the upper area of bar. Went to Brewskys to cool off.
Bar was busy and the floor was super sticky. And bathroom was terrible. Bar tenders were nice tho
The food was over cooked !! Limited menu !! And the waitress forgot to get my blue cheese dressing that we asked for . I wont recommend this place to any of my friends.
No air conditioning however the place was so busy with young adults I guess they didnt mind...
The atmosphere is good here and the rooftop terrace is great. The food and drinks are average at best.
Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Love the Thursday t-shirts!
Very quiet tonight. Brisket combo was ok. Yankees on, so bonus points.
Had a really good time. Danced the night away
Fun place with many options had a blast!
Fast service, excellent rooftop patio, stadium views!
Stopped in and had some of the Plow Boys bbq that they sell now. Very good stuff.
They make a good Moscow mule, just dont expect to get it in a copper cup
Great place for a very cold beer. cool place on the 3rd floor
Great place to enjoy a drink and the weather on their rooftop patio.
Decent food and drinks and fun upper patio.
Its the Nebraska bar. Nuff said. Come here for a great time.
Shots come out in what look like little thimbles....Nowhere near the amount most other bars in the area serve. Sad.
Patio has a great atmosphere! Dual bars so no waiting for drinks
Great food and outstanding service and good drinks
Fun place to hang out before a husker game!
Okay, no longer have blackened Chix salad.Burgers excellent.
Service sucks. Bartenders seem lazy and slow. Poor quality drinks.
Great GameDay bar, highly recommend
Unbelievably great time. 10/10 recommend!!!!
Nice people, good atmosphere 👌 👍
Cool nebraska college bar with great rooftop!
I dont remember coming here (so to speak.) We must of enjoyed it though.
The wings were tasty. but menu pretty boring overall
Like the rooftop setting. My drink could have been better.
The atmosphere is always fun, the rooftop is super chill!
Ive never once been satisfied by an experience here. Poor service whether its busy or slow.
Pretty dead, not the friendliest staff. Beer was cold though.
Great place for drinks, especially on game day Saturdays
By far the worst bar in Lincoln
Rooftop is the place to be on a nice night or for a Huskers game.
This is a good college hang out. The chicken wing platter is a good deal.
Great atmosphere, good food, even better service
Great place for a party and someone who wants to watch the game!!!
Awesome patio and good place to grab a drink.
Its a fun place, but not a place to end the night.
Lots of people crowded but overall a good place
Great bar with rooftop and gorgeous bartenders.
The roof top is amazing with a dj and amzing views
Great place to grab a drink and people watch!
We love to sit on the roof and enjoy a drink.
Heh, occasionally good atmosphere. Consistently inferior service.
Same music on repeat. DJ was the worst. Had to leave.
Nice bartender
Great place to go for husker games & Thursday nights
Great atmosphere with good service and prices.
Nothing special but thats what happens when youre just a gameday bar.
Barrys rooftop is a summer must!
Amazing dance floor super fast service!
The Huskers loved it! Thank you, see you next time!
Never got in the door because they didnt have enough security.
Great view, but beer waz warm
Great place. Good bartender and drinks.
Fun place with Rooftop. Especially on game day.
Had to ask for silverware,napkins and 2 of the meals out of 3 were wrong
Overpriced beer at concert. What do you expect?
Fun place to go on Gamedays
After a Husker loss....a good place to get over it.
Hasnt changed and I am glad!
Cool location, great happy hour
Frustrating so so staff and charged for food that I sent back for being overcooked
Plenty of room, awsome upstairs view
Great place on a football Saturday!
College bar. Drinks are cheap and pretty good.
I dont like drinking beer from a plastic cup!
Great place to watch Husker games!
Fun place,. Great people and prices.
Lots of drunk college dudes. Not my vibe
