I haven't been here since I've started Yelping, but I'm on a roll and this has always been one of my favorite places in Lincoln.
I don't like change and remember a more cozy atmosphere.
Whatever the lighting and surface decor, this place will forever be unique. . .romantic. . .and a place that Lincoln should be proud of.

Walk down that dark alley behind the Rococo theater...you wouldn't regret it.
Barrymore's is by far one of my favorite Lincoln bars when I want to go out and have a nice night with friends. If you're going out bar hopping, or looking to get trashed, you've got much better choices. Barrymore's comes off very classy in a town full of beer joints. It is the back stage area of an amazing old theater, and therefore the ceiling is stories high. You walk past the bank of lighting switches as you enter, and the turn to find a wall of flights and ropes that would run the workings of the stage. There are a few TVs (this is Lincoln, after-all) and the music selection can be sketchy and depends on the bar tenders' whims.
The alcohol selection is great, but the servers can be jerks, so just keep your fingers crossed. On weeknights the place can be full of 30somethings and on weekends the crowd can be made up of anyone.
During big concerts in the Rococo theater the bar is often closed.
Tip: Bathrooms are upstairs!
Pros: Great atmosphere, good booze selection, different from 'normal' Lincoln bars.
Cons: Not cheap. Can be busy. Service has been sketchy.
We went in the afternoon, and it was dead, so I can't write about the nighttime bar scene. However, 5 stars for the venue! One of the most unique bar spaces I've ever been in. It's the behind-stage of an old theatre. The ceilings are higher than...than um, they are incredibly high. Christmas lights are strung along some of the pulleys and the interior is all dark wood and warm lighting. I can't wait to go back and see if it's different when filled with drunken Nebraskans.
