I had to register just to put my 2 cents in. Lincoln is a great place to go out!
Food:
Bisonwiches
Amigos (there is one on every corner!)
Ya-ya's and Lazzari's for pizza.
Lazlos
Bars:
Cliffs, must get the Sharkwater
Sandys, Elk Creek's are great, and I don't even like OJ
Harry's wonder bar, those are some stiff drinks.
Then there are a ton of places to get cheap beer.
