P.O. Pears Good Food and Good Time Saloon.A Lincoln Landmark that has stood like a guardian over the intersection of 9th and M Streets since
1980. That’s two and a half decades of Burgers and Beer
Over the last ten years, fans from all over the country have made us their home away from
home. World-Renowned for our hospitality and laid back atmosphere, the Oklahoma, Oklahoma
State, Iowa State, and Kansas State Fans and Alumni Groups have voted our humble tavern as
their favorite every year, six years running.
At P.O. Pears, our tailgates are known as
some of the best in town, offering food, fun,
and some of the most talented live music acts found in Lincoln and the
Surrounding Area.
Many of the items you see hanging from the ceiling and rafters around you are actually movie props. Grand American Fare, Inc. (the original owners of P.O. Pears and several other bars in
California, Colorado and Arizona), purchased many such props from 20th Century Fox and decorated all of their bars with them.
The sleigh (it is not a sled dammit!) above the front bar. As anyone can plainly see if one
reads the scribbling on the back, this is from the movie "Dr. Zhivago" which is a story of love and loss in Russia, in which everybody dies or at least lives miserably ever after.
The kitchen window is in fact a set of lips used as a promotional device by the Rolling Stones on one of their tours. Rumor has it
that Keith Richards got very well acquainted with one of his future wives on these very
lips, as did Mick with David Bowie.
The ship above the front windows was used in such epic dramas as "Tora, Tora, Tora", "Midway" and "The Sands of Iwo Jima".
The wheelchair which hangs in the back room near the southeast corner of the
dance floor is purportedly from the movie "Psycho". Remember the scene at the end
where… whoa, I guess I shouldn't ruin it for any cultural illiterates who have never
seen it.
As you may or may not know, Pears has become world-famous for it's bad grammar, grumpy employees and liberal attitude towards the idea of "alcohol consumption". It turns out that we actually serve food too, but you were probably too drunk to notice. All joking aside (way, way
aside) we have become known for serving some of the best damn Burgers that you will find anywhere. Did I mention all the other stuff that's better than the crap everyone else serves?
Chances are you'll get two helpings of bad mood from our stupid, stupid cooks to go along with it.
The Jiffy Burger -- $6.99 Our great Original Burger covered with peanut butter, bacon and jack cheese. Just like Mom used to make!
Buffalo Wings Choose from: Louisiana Hot, Tangy BBQ or Teriyaki! Deep fried WHOLE chicken wings glazed in your choice of sauce. You won't find these anywhere else! Served with our homemade bleu cheese or ranch dressing. Bucket of 10 $6.79 Bucket of 25 $15.29
Our employees are a fun-loving bunch, although perhaps a bit kooky. Seemingly
failing at all our other respective endeavors in life, we've managed to
somehow excel at being the best bunch of gonzo people this side of the
Missouri. You wont find a group of staff more committed to serving you the finest mind-altering spirits and artery-clogging
bar food. We pride ourselves on our uniqueness, our facility, and our
camaraderie. Aside from that, you don't want to know what some of the kids here take pride in. Suffice to say, you won't find a finer bunch of weirdos
dedicated to making sure you have the best possible experience when you
visit us at your home away from home.
Listen Up For “Pete’s” Sake!!!On September 15, P.O. Pear’s will be offering the USC
Trojan Special, a tailgate specifically for you and 599 of your closest friends and fellow USC Trojan Fans (that’s 600 max folks, do the math). Both before and after the game, in a tent specially constructed over the parking
lot just for this purpose, USC fans ONLY will be admitted for a tailgate offering live music, companionship, and
most importantly, food and beer. On top of that, a free shuttle (Our Very Own Big Red P.O. Pears Party Bus) will offer rides to and from the game. On top of that, while other tailgates in town are charging you as much as $40
to get in, ours is FREE! That's right, show your USC colors and get into our tailgate party for FREE! So stop on by for a little bit of our great Midwest Hospitality.
