  Went in to watch Nebraska baseball and have a drink. Was told my Texas State ID was not valid. I stated, "That has to be incorrect," and was presented with a piece of laminated paper that showed it. I accepted that and ordered a Mountain Dew and was told the menu specials.
  Still finding it odd, I looked it up. As it turned out, the law they were referencing was amended by AM228 in 2013. The amendment allowed current out-of-state IDs as identification for alcohol.
  I presented this to the owner, who told me he didn't care and wasn't going to argue about it or even look because he's going by what he has from the Nebraska Liquor Commission. I asked him if he would like me to call them so he could talk. He said no, took my drink, dumped it in the trash and told me to leave. I said that didn't have to happen, that I was just trying to show him what he has on file was updated three years ago. He asked me why I didn't have a Nebraska ID, "You've been here long enough." That right there showed me they were intentionally doing this. I had been to this place and had drinks before. My response: It's none of your business, but I have multiple exemptions.
  He then said he was calling the police and I would know another law: trespassing. I said, "Oh I'm leaving. I'm not trying to be a dick."
  
  Needless to say, don't go there. Not only have they not updated their liquor laws in over three years, they are rude about it.

  Food is great. Although there is usually a rowdy crowd somewhere in the bar. The wait was also very long.
