The Fat Toad Pub — Restaurant in Lincoln

I was here with a group of friends a couple months ago and one of their staff members (who was not on the clock and was drinking) got physical with me at the bar because I didn’t let him cut me in line. I had been waiting in line for quite some time and he came up next to me and leaned on the bar trying to get the bartenders attention and I very kindly told him that I was up next and he laughed in my face and said “oh, you’re cute if you think you are gonna order before me” I gave him and attitude and then he proceeded to tell me that I need to leave and I told him that I didn’t do anything wrong so he grabbed me by my arms and started shoving me. I of course told him not to touch me and he proceeded to shove me until someone spilt us up and I was told to leave the building. The bouncer gave me and my group our covers back which was nice but as far as I’m aware he had no repercussions and I was told by multiple other people that this is not the first time he had done this. It is unfortunate because I really enjoyed this establishment but me and my friends will not be returning if they allow their off the clock employees (or any) to behave like this and become physical with women because of their attitude. I was not perfect in this situation I will admit but there was absolutely no reason for him to escalate it to a physical situation when I did nothing physical to him. An attitude is not grounds for his reaction especially when I was not the one...

If I could give NO stars, I definitely would. Racism is very much still around and this place DEFINITELY shows it! If you are of color, I’d suggest NOT going to this “business”. After paying $10 to bouncer at the door and passing by 2 other security guards standing there as well, which none of them said nothing about this man’s necklace before entering……“Security” inside harassed my husband’s cousin over his necklace!!! Even after he tucked it into his shirt like asked, being watched the entire time while in the bar, a security guard came up to my husband’s cousin telling him he needed to leave, he politely asked why…the security guard told him it was the boss’s decision. My husband’s cousin calmly asked him if he could just finish the rest of his beer…..THAT HE PAID FOR, THAT WAS ALMOST GONE, instead of answering his question, the security guard grabbed him, pushed him to the floor and picked him up by the back of his pants and arm and drug him out of the bar, throwing him on the sidewalk like a bag of garbage. He sub stained an injury to his shoulder and arm due to all this. I am truly disgusted and will NEVER give this place my money again. To the guard who did this, you should be ashamed of yourself and I hope karma does you good. Thank you for ruining my birthday night...

Message to Management: if you guys have a set hour that you close down the billiards table, set up a sign that indicates so.

My story: Decent enough bar to drink at until the goofy cornhuskin sunuvabitch security bouncer used deception (big ol' lying coward) to tell me and my friends we had to "give up the pool table so others could play" after 4 games of back and forth games. We figured fair enough, but after 3 minutes of hanging back and waiting for these supposed others to step over to play, he and 3 other goofy nebraskatards slipped a leather cover over the table! We noticed the pool table upstairs had the same unnecessary Leather cover. Never in my life have I seen a bar establishment willfully remove a source of income like a pool table and use a lying goofy bouncer to do so.

Other than that, I did meet a cute one legged chick named Sofie at the Fat Toad. DJ was decent for nebraska standards and the dirty club...
