Heading to the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, NE, for an event? The Starlite Lounge, located below Buzzard Billy’s, is the bar to visit if you’re looking to grab an honest drink and maybe even a bite to eat while you’re out. 

Here are three reasons to make the Starlite Lounge your new bar whenever you’re near the Pinnacle Bank Arena:

• The Atmosphere: The Starlite Lounge has a swinging retro atmosphere that will take you back in time to the era of Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack. They play classic lounge songs that set a relaxing mood and will awaken your feelings of nostalgia.

• The Specials: Thirsting for an adult beverage? The Starlite Lounge bar has a selection of top-shelf liquor. They also have a regular schedule of the best happy hour promos in town on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with domestic draft beers for as low as $2 and all martinis $2 off. They even host a Throwback Thursday promo with free appetizers and a retro 50s and 60s trivia night at 9 p.m.

• The Banquet Room: For larger crowds and bigger events, the Starlite Lounge has a banquet room that’s open seven day a week for lunch and dinner. The room can seat up to 56 people and offers appetizers, a buffet, and special pricing for children.

If you’re hankering for a filling dinner after a drink at the Starlite Lounge bar, head upstairs to Buzzard Billy’s, where you’ll find an array of Cajun and American cuisine options. This restaurant serves New Orleans favorites like shrimp creole, jambalaya, and gumbo, alongside American classics like chicken wings and burgers.
