Brewsky’s Food & Spirits had its 20th Anniversary in August, 2010. Brewsky’s has four locations in Lincoln and two in Omaha. The original Brewsky’s, which opened in August, 1990, is at 16th & South Streets in Lincoln, NE, (just completely remodeled) while the most recent Brewsky’s opened in 2006 at 84th & Park Drive in Omaha, NE.
Brewsky’s was one of the original “sports bars” in this area, and of that bunch probably the last standing with the original ownership still intact. The term “sports bar” has come to be synonymous with a mix of bar and restaurant throughout the entire establishment, where families are comfortable dining in a “bar” atmosphere, with multiple TVs showing multiple sporting events.
In its 20 years of operations Brewsky’s has been recognized as “the” sports bar. It has been voted 1st Place Best Sports Bar in Omaha in the Omaha Magazine Readers Survey for 2008, 2009 and 2010, and was recently voted 1st Place Best Sports Bar in Lincoln in the KFOR Readers Survey for 2009. Its extensive menu was created by a Certified Executive Chef, and constantly evolves with new items and tastes. Among the favorites recognized in area competitions are Brewsky’s Buffalo Wings and homemade Chili.
Brewsky’s currently employs approximately 300 full- and part-time employees in Lincoln and Omaha, and is owned and operated by the original three owners, Brian Kitten, Jon Mumgaard and Jim Mumgaard.
