Coffee Shops

Cultiva--Come for the coffee but make sure you save room for a Lincoln famous Johnny Cake Sammie (cornbread pancakes). One of our favorite brunch spots, check to see if open before heading over as Covid has changed their hours. Has small outdoor dining space.

The Coffee House--Downtown and right around the corner from the wedding venue in case you need a caffeine boost before our party!

The Mill--Many a late night work/study date happened here for Megan and Dylan; a cozy coffeeshop located in the Haymarket.--WITH A LOVELY OUTDOOR PATIO SPACE

Nightlife

Tavern on the Square--beautiful outdoor seating area

The Happy Raven--our favorite laid-back craft beer bar, right near the venue. No outdoor space unfortunately.
