Of course if you're under 21 in this
backwards state, you won't be able to
enjoy many of the places we'll mention
-for possibly several years. We'll sign
any petition you might want to start
around to make it so, yes, even the
unborn can drink. Bill thinks they
ought to lower the drinking age to 16
for women and raise it to 23 for men.
Without further ado, and in no par
ticular order, Lincoln's best college
bars:
The Zoo Bar, 136 N. 14th St.
Charles: This is the best bar in Lin
coln. It's also a dark, dirty cave. I like
drinking in dark, dirty caves. The
music is the best, the bartenders are
impatient and on a good night it's so
crowded that all the air in the place
screams and runs out the door. On a not
so good night it's a good place to go sit
alone and find something to cry in your

beer about.
Cultural cripples wouldn't like this
bar, even though a lot of cultural crip
ples wander in here. This is where the
bums who hang out around the 0 Street
McDonald's got the way they are. It's
fun if you know someone here or if you
bring an army. Otherwise it's scary.
Don't bring a romantic date unless you
want to ditch her.
Bill: The Zoo Bar is great if it has a
quality act performing, such as The
Wallets or Matt "Guitar" Murphy. Oth
erwise, you can get everything else it
offers cheaper and with a better atmos
phere at O'Rourke's.
We both give the Zoo Bar five kegs.
O'Rourke's, 121 N. 14th St.
Bill: This is the best bar in Lincoln.
It's got everything a simple drinker
wants. I should know because I'm sim
ple. The atmosphere is lighted beer
signs on the wall and TV constantly
showing sports. There's a pool table in
the back and the jukebox stays as far
away from the Top 40 as 1966 is from
1986.
O'Rourke's beer is about the cheap
est in any bar in Lincoln. And there's
free popcorn. It's one of the few places
you can drink alone in Lincoln and not
care that you're drinking alone.
O'Rourke's is a hole in the wall among
hole in the walls. Very few Greeks hang
out at O'Rourke's.
Charles: Very few Greeks hang out at
O'Rourke's. But there are the ruggers.
The jukebox is great but it relies too
heavily on songs from "The Big Chill"
soundtrack. I like hanging around peo
ple who are obsessed with baseball, so
this bar is a lot of fun in the summer.
O'Rourke's requires tolerance. Artsy
fartsy types hang out here and so do
people whose idea of art is a velvet
Elvis painting.
