Big Red Restaurant and Sports Bar 8100 Cass Street Omaha, NE 402-390-9495 As if I didn’t learn my lesson from the last time I ordered wings at a keno joint, I decided to meet up with part-time HitThatDive wing reviewer Speck at Big Red Restaurant and Sports Bar because word has it, unlike the vomitous

I know, this is a little off topic for HTD…but ever wondered what would happen when you take a few dive bar regulars out of their element and attempt to sprinkle a little culture into their normal routines?   Me either. BUT…that didn’t stop me from rounding up a few HitThatDivers for a first-ever live

4936 South 135th StreetOmaha NE 68137402-359-1604 Oh boy. This one gets a bit interesting about half way through so hang in there.  First off, let me preface everything that transpired with an interesting statistic from the National Chicken Council. During Super Bowl Sunday, Americans consumed more than 1.25 BILLION chicken wings. That’s a lot of

Now, let’s backtrack shall we?  Not too long after I first started writing this rinky-dink blog, the grand total of five HTD readers decided to meet up one Saturday afternoon at Bud’s for a

This was a strange year, even by HitThatDive standards.  I cranked out the lowest number of new actual bar posts since the first HTD “review” went live four years ago.  And yet, interest in all of this has never been at a higher point, in fact, as we roll into 2015…HitThatDive seems to have more

Let’s get hammered! Main StreetPottersville, New York Much like a moldy old fruitcake, or that sweater vest from your long lost relative, it’s time for the annual retelling of my long strange trip to Pottersville, New York a few years ago on Christmas Eve.   My travels take me to some pretty out-of-the-way places, so it’s

7101 South 84th StreetLaVista, Nebraska 402-339-1606 OK…before I get started, let me answer a few questions and comments I know I’m going to get later today via Facebook and Twitter.
