What a train wreck of a visit. The pluses: great location next to the new area. Outside seating… ummm…

We walked in around 4pm on a Saturday afternoon. Dead. 4 customers. A dozen plus employees in various states of working/on-break/chatting. No biggie, just seemed odd. We sat at the bar. Here for a beer or two. The bartender, nice fellow (apparently named after an iconic TV character) got us menus right away.

The tap selection was ok… safe, chain-like, Old Chicago-quality. We thought the prices were high. Plus regular IPAs like Mojo came in a 10oz glass at a premium price. Pass. We order, gasp, PBRs. $3 Tallboys. Had to order something. He charged us $3.25 each. Wasn’t worth figuring out why the menu said $3..

We did not eat. We did watch a couple get delivered a burnt to black pizza. It looked awful. They sent it back. Duh. The pizza they replaced it with was a hot mess, crust falling off the pan, etc. And I think they were given a different style of pizza. Regardless, the food standards seemed kind of low.

Mix in the chainy, cheesy hippy vibe with high prices and lackluster attention and care from the employees and I see no reason I would bother to return. A major dud.

Beer selection is ok, but the local/seasonal rotation is never listed anywhere on the menu and the servers never have any knowledge of the beers they currently have on tap. Your only option is to walk over to the bar, which is both weird and inconvenient. They need to start printing out an updated beer list to have ready for people who ask for it.

Mellow Mushroom is a pizza and craft beer chain. This one just opened in the new hay market arena district in Lincoln. Did not order food. I've had their for at another location in the past and it is not bad. Nothing about it is local, organic or sustainable, but it is prepared well. Can't speak for it at this location however.

They had a good selection of taps. Several local selections including Empreyean, Zip line, Boulevard and several national favorites like North Coast, Rogue, Sierra Nevada, New Belgium, etc. Definitely worth a visit if other places close by like the Cask or Lazlos are closed.
