Zoo Bar, Music venue and nightclub in downtown Lincoln, United States
The Zoo Bar occupies a narrow building from 1921 on North 14th Street, featuring regular performances of blues, jazz, rock, and other music genres.
Larry Boehmer transformed the establishment into a music venue in 1973, bringing numerous Chicago blues performers to Nebraska through his connection with Bob Riedy.
The venue earned the Blues Foundation's Keeping the Blues Alive Award in 1993, recognizing its contribution to preserving and promoting blues music.
The club presents various entertainment options, including live band karaoke nights and weekly jazz sessions, with admission prices ranging from free to twenty dollars.
Magic Slim, who first performed at Zoo Bar in 1975, later relocated his entire family from Chicago to Lincoln due to his connection with the venue.
