BOLD FLAVOR, LOCAL SPIRIT
From our first day open in 2013 to becoming a current Haymarket favorite, we've stayed true to our vision of creating a welcoming space where big flavor and bold energy meet.
FOOD THAT GOES BEYOND ORDINARY
Our scratch-made menu has celebrated innovative flavor combinations since our doors opened in 2013. Throughout the years, we have strived to create burgers, cocktails, and classic staples made for the way Lincoln eats, drinks, and celebrates.
LOCATED IN THE OLDEST
BUILDING IN THE HAYMARKET
Seaton & Lea Ironworks established their Lincoln branch in 1881, building a complex that included the building we now call home. What was once a three-story machine and pattern shop still stands today as the oldest building in The Haymarket.

THE TRAIN CAR
Before being decommissioned, the train car was used to transport goods to warehouses in the Haymarket. Then, 25 years ago, it was installed as a permanent structure attached to the brick. As of 2013, the train car has functioned as our large party room, perfect for any special occasion.
