Barrymore’s

(Downtown, Lincoln, NE)

Scooter’s 1477th bar, first visited in 2021.

I almost cut this one off my list because the second half of my planned day was a focus on dive bars, but this just looked too interesting to pass up. Barrymore’s is a bar backstage of the Rocococo Theatre, accessed via a nondescript back door in an alley. The bar is down a level, while the restrooms are up a level and as I understand were converted form old dressing rooms.

On arrival I blew right on past a guy who was hanging out in the alley and got a bit nervous when I noticed he had started following me. Turned out he was the bartender.

I almost got a cocktail here, but ended up with a Dead Man’s Run (lager) by Cosmic Eye Brewing.

Surely they wouldn’t allow drunk people such easy, unsupervised access to controls that could screw things up on stage. Nonetheless, I opted to not touch.
