There don't seem to be any rules and
the bar is big enough to hold it all
without degenerating into utter mad
ness. We once snorted Jack Daniels out of
a spoon at this bar and the waitress and
kitchen staff stood around and watched.
They didn't kick us out. We love them.
Bill: Chesterfield's manager once
described the bar to me as a "date
bar." This is an apt description. The
atmosphere is such that most of us
probably would like to someday have a
house big enough to have a den that
feels like Chesterfield's.
The food here is excellent, espe
cially the nachos, and their happy hour
specials on beer make this one of the
best after work or class gathering pla
ces in Lincoln.
Chesterfields deserves a hearty five
kegs.
Barrymore's, 124 N. 13th St.
Bill: The atmosphere of this bar is
incredible, but the drink prices usually
find me half a block away at O'Rourke's.
Barrymore's is a great place to take a
date after a movie for a quiet intimate
chat,
Charles: The only way this bar could
be better is if you could see the movie
on the back of the Stuart Theater's
screen. Instead, all you get is a white
screen. The bathrooms are great. See
picture on page 17. Five kegs.
The Royal Grove, 340 West
Cornhusker Highway.
Charles: It used to be I wouldn't go
into this bar unless I was armed and
wearing an umpire's mask. Now, I
guess its got a pool and all the "best"
people go there. They still look like
bikers to me. They just aren't wearing
leather. I don't like the bar or the peo
ple, but The Blasters and Joe "King"
Carrasco play there, so...
Bill: Charles is right, mostly. This bar
is great when they have a great group
playing. I saw John Cafferty and the
Beaver Brown Band, The Verandas and
BTO here. The Grove has the best stage
in Lincoln. But I hate drinking beer out
of plastic glasses.
The Grove is a five-keg bar when a
great group plays.
The Sidetrack, 935 O St.
Bill: Joyce Durand's bar was better
when it really was beside the tracks,
but now that it has moved to 0 Street it
has lost some of its former appeal. Still,
though, Joyce plays the piano some
times, and you can sing along to great
TV theme show songs.
My favorite thing about the bar is the
Sweet Potato Band, because they play
Jimmy Buffett and Eagles songs for me.
Charles: I've never been there.
Reports are you have to drink out of
plastic glasses and sit on multi-colored
folding chairs. There'd have to be a real
good band to make me do that and
there isn't. Someday we'll talk about
Jimmy Buffett, Bill...

Sandy's, Brass Rail, Night Before
top '5 Worst Bars, Except' list
By Bill Allen
and Charles Lieurance
Senior Editors
While rating the 10 best college
bars in Lincoln it became obvious
that some bars weren't good.
So we decided it was our duty to
also let you know where not to go.
Don't trust me on this. We're biased
and we admit it. We feel, however,
that most college students would
like to know about:
The Five Worst Bars In
Lincoln, Except...
Sandy's, 1348 0 St.. .except on
Friday afternoons. Sandy's is a
"nothing special" bar, except for
their great crowds on Friday after
noons. The crowds are predominant
ly Greek and women who wish they
were. If you're Greek, or have
friends who are, or just enjoy drink
ing in a sardine-can atmosphere,
this is t he place for you. Bill has had
a couple of great FAC's there.
The Brass Rail, 1436 0 St...ex
cept Thursday nights if you're Greek.
Every other day of the week the
Brass Rail is lucky to attract flies,
but for some unexplainable reason
it has become another, yes, Greek
tradition to fill the place on Thurs
day nights.
The Lucky Lady, 1033 0 St...ex
cept when it's closed. Luckily, ladies,
this bar is now closed. Unluckily, it
has opened under new management
and is now called Celebration. I
haven't had sufficient reason to
gather material for a comedy rou
tine recently so I haven't been to
Celebrat ion yet, but I assume it will
have the same tawdry, plastic deco
rations, the same top-40 music
videos, and the same extremely
high drink prices. And a dress code.
