Decent setup, good for watching sports w/ lots of tvs and softer than normal seating. Food is typical bar stuff, lots of fried offerings. Service is adequate if not a bit slow although that might have just been my server. I was here to watch NCAA tourney and had a good time. I ordered the Chicken Muss, chicken was a bit fatty but lots of mushrooms and cheese, it was tasty. As for the TV's, they are primarily in two locations, a bank above the bar and a much larger bank of TV's opposite the bar. Seating is arranged to provide optimal viewing and the further away you are from the main wall the higher the seating. The also have darts and Golden Tee, but this place is primarily set up for watching sports on Television.

Its a decent bar with decent food. The wait staff is hit and miss. Last time we went our waitress was absolutely the best! Fun, fabulous service, memory like a steel trap. This time...meh...not so much. Brought one person in our party draft beer every single time he asked for a bottle. Forgot to order both of my sons meals. Laughed and walked away when I asked for some extra bread for my daughter....I guess we were kidding...but its a fun atmosphere and walking distance to our house so we go quite a bit!

My friends and I go to Sporties a lot. They give you pitcher coupons each time you purchase a pitcher. Then you can turn then in for a free one. The food is your standard greasy bar food that we all love. I'm not sure why other reviewers gave the waitresses sub bad reviews but I've always been taken care of just fine. The outdoor smoking area is heated and large. Lots of TVs too with decent drink specials.

Friday night: not enough servers. Our server was extremely apologetic, but hire more people when you know it's Happy Hour and Friday!!! The beer, Shiner Bock, we ordered was flat. We sent it back with the recommendation of letting the bartender know. However, we just received another type of beer in return. The "bar" food: horrible. The jalapeño chicken sandwich: all bread and condiments. We received no water, no silverware and no follow-up service. The Onion Chips were deep fried, greasy and nasty. You could find much better service and food many other places in Lincoln, NE. Would not recommend, would not go back. We know food and beer, both were terrible here.

The waitresses here are completely useless, you have to tell them everything two or three times and even then they just shrug their shoulders. And if that doesn't ruin your experience enough, wait until you get the bill! $3.75 for a can of domestic beer? $9.50 for a pitcher of rotten domestic beer? I didn't see any breasts, where are these prices coming from?! The two TVs that we were watching just suddenly quit working (5:30 on Sunday, middle of the 4th quarter) and I do not know if they are capable of fixing it, but I do know the employees did not care enough to even try. Food is disgusting and you will invariably receive it 20 minutes after it is cooked (see remark above about waitresses being as helpful as a disease). The next time someone asks me to sub here for pool leagues, I will just have to laugh it off. NEVER AGAIN.
