Kirkwood — Restaurant in Lake View Township

We went with a medium size group to Kirkwoods for the Nebraska game and had no issues until the bill came. They charged us for Tito’s soda (rang up at $14.50) when we had ordered wells vodka soda and our waitress’s response was “ it’s a $1 difference.” We ended up calling over a second waitress, who before coming to our table talked to our main waitress. It was very clear that the waitresses were avoiding our table once we started asking questions…. Quick side note - they have no liquor prices online but their most expensive cocktail (including espresso martinis) is $13!!! The second waitress came over and said that the wells vodka soda was $13.50 so we asked to speak to a manager. It makes no sense for multiple of their cocktails to be $12 that are made with Sveka, when their wells vodka soda was $13.50. After waiting over 20 minutes for them to “find” the manager, she came offering $8.50 off our bill to make up for the difference. When we asked why the cocktails were cheaper than the wells vodka soda she kept stating that it was on-call-pricing , after taxes it was the same, and they needed to stay competitive. After restating our question multiple times, we were ready to leave at this point, having spent hundreds of dollars and after we paid waiting 20+ minutes to speak with a manager. So we agreed in the moment and left.

As the only Nebraska bar it’s very unfortunate that this was how the company handled it because our entire group is UNL alumni and loved watching games there. We have sent an email to the manager for further clarification on the pricing but are not happy with how uneducated the staff was on the pricing and how this...

It's all that you would expect in a sport's bar. Even though there are three areas of tables plus a beer garden, finding a table here is no easy task. It's rather new and backed by the people who are behind a lot of other popular sports bar sites in town. So they knew what they were doing, create rich woods in dark tones, a mixture of high top tables and cozy ottomans in a smaller nook area.

The beer garden is the best part of the bar. It's big and roomy with tables and outdoor couches. It has a very lovely outside bar so you aren't bothered to go in every time to order a drink or wait for a server to come to you.

The food is much tastier than most sports bars. It's also a little bit more expensive, but worth it. Most nights there are also drink and food specials. Tuesdays are $5 salads and they are really good especially paired with the $5 wine specials. I would also highly recommend the seasoned fries. They are...

We recently hosted our 10 year reunion at Kirkwood and COULD NOT BE HAPPIER! Beginning with the excellent event planning (thank you Priscilla!), to the super-extra-amazing manager Marty who helped me out when there was an issue with our numbers, the bartenders and door staff that were lovely and wonderful to be around, ending with the all-around good time that was had.... I couldn't be more satisfied with our event. Food was well-prepared, timed perfectly, refreshed often, and our drink package was perfect for our group. I used to work in the industry and genuinely just am amazed at the group at Kirkwood. There was not a single detail that was overlooked or lacking. If I need to plan another personal or client event in the city, I will be absolutely be using this team again.

Thank you so much to the team over there. Priscilla and Marty, you saved the...
