Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Barry's The Nebraska Bar runs on day-specific drink specials and four distinct bar areas within one location: a sports bar, rooftop, nightlife destination, and ice bar. The beverage program leans into canned cocktails, domestic beers, seltzers, and well spirits rather than a deep craft list. Tuesday brings $2 Mystery Shots and $2 Deep Eddy's Singles; Wednesday has $3 single well drinks, $5 double wells, $10 for three Tallboys, $16 NUTRL 4-packs, and $4 Carbliss; Thursday offers $15 buckets of domestic beers, seltzers, and canned cocktails; Sunday adds $2 Barry's Shots, $15 mixed drink pitchers, $10 domestic pitchers, and $20 specialty pitchers.
- What should I order?
- On Tuesday, the $2 Mystery Shot and $2 Deep Eddy's Singles are the clearest spirits picks. Wednesday's $10 three-Tallboy deal and $4 Carbliss are the beer-side standouts; Sunday brings $2 Barry's Shots and $15 mixed drink pitchers.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups moving between the sports bar, rooftop, nightlife space, and ice bar, and anyone planning around weekday or Sunday specials rather than a seated cocktail-list tasting.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Specials drive the tab: $2 shots and Tallboys, $3 single well drinks, $4 Carbliss, $10 three-Tallboy and domestic pitcher deals, $15 buckets and mixed drink pitchers, $16 NUTRL 4-packs, and $20 specialty pitchers.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Four distinct venues share one location — sports bar, rooftop, nightlife destination, and ice bar — with a specials calendar that shifts by day across shots, wells, Tallboys, buckets, and pitchers.
