Brewskys Food & Spirits

Let me just say, the only reason I went here last time is because my friend that was back in town really wanted to try the place out, despite my warning. My parents used to go here all the time (before they thought it started going downhill) and unfortunately always dragged me with them.
We got there right when it opened, and it was a ghost town in there. All of the wait staff saw us walk in, and we sat up by the pool table. The wait staff continued to stand around and chit chat and completely ignore us. Finally, a waitress came up and plopped two menus on our table, said nothing and walked away. I said, «Excuse me, we actually would like to order drinks.» this was the first time I’ve never been asked «Can I start you off with something to drink?» while being given a menu.
Let me say next, this waitress was gross. I understand it is a sports bar. I’m not expecting a maitre d with a long sleeve shirt and tie to wait on me hand and foot. But for the love of God, if you are required to handle food for your job, you should at least practice good hygiene. She looked like she hadn’t showered in I don’t know how long, she had several unattractive, unnecessary piercings, all of which looked infected, and had a nasty demeanor and attitude overall. I was immediately turned off by the bad attitude which bothered me most of all.
After she reluctantly brought us our drinks, there were two other parties that sat by us that she served at the drop of a hat, unlike she did to us.
They had only ordered drinks, then I had to ask for her to take our food order, as she disappeared for a long period of time again. The other parties ordered their food significantly later than we did, yet their food came out in half the time that ours did. The thing is — we did NOT order anything SPECIAL. My buddy ordered some kind of sandwich and I ordered one of their burgers that didn’t have much to it! After a very long time, the waitress came and slid our food to us on the table, again, DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING and walked away. We didn’t see her until she brought the check later. My burger, by the way, was disgusting. The meat tasted funky, there was absolutely no way that’s how it was supposed to taste. i can’t even think of something to compare the rancid taste to, but I knew there was no point in sending it back. Considering the waitress’s attitude, there’s no doubt in my mind she would have spit in whatever I requested.
Oh, I almost forgot. Our soda was disgusting. Brewsky’s pop has never been good, a horrible mix of the syrup, flavor, and carbonation or whatever else from their pop machine. I’ve always wondered why they have never been able to figure it out, and I know someone who actually worked at a Brewsky’s and he said they did it on purpose to discourage customers from getting free refills. Nice, Brewsky’s! What class and phenomenal customer service!
You absolutely cannot pay me to to return to any Brewsky’s in Lincoln. I will not further continue to support such a horrendous eating establishment. I honestly yet reluctantly gave it another well-​intended chance and to say they blew it is an understatement. I don’t care which of my friends or family wants to eat there in the future, I am NEVER returning to this cesspool.
Try Risky’s on 48^th and Leighton. It’s everything that Brewsky’s wishes it was.

They screwed up the last time I was in and I gave them a pretty harsh review. The way they handled it was top notch, and went out of there way to make it right. I’ve tried them again and had a better experience with the wings (grilled were good) and I appreciate the way they responded to an unhappy customer.
Definitely worth another try!

This review is for the 16^th and South St location!
