From hand-pulled espresso shots to small-batch cocktails stirred to perfection, Benny's is where skill meets the sidewalk. Come for the drink, stay because the porch feels like home.
We take our craft seriously and our atmosphere even more. Here's what you'll find every time you pull up a stool at Benny's.
Single-origin beans, pulled by baristas who actually care about your cup. Espresso, pour-over, or a cold brew that changed your Tuesday.
Every cocktail is built in-house, from house-made shrubs to smoked salts. If it's on the menu, we made it this week.
Our porch is the kind of place where neighbors become friends. Live music some nights, trivia others, and always a warm welcome.
Benny's Porch Bar started as a simple idea: what if a place could be both a daytime coffee destination and a nighttime cocktail spot without pretending to be something it's not?
That question led us to 9th and Plum, where we've been serving Lincoln something real ever since. Our coffee comes from roasters we visit. Our spirits are selected, not just ordered. And our porch? It's the best seat in town for watching the world go by.
A rotating selection of what's fresh, what's local, and what the team is excited about right now.
Double shot, single-origin blend, pulled with attention. Served black or turned into any milk drink you want.
Bourbon, house bitters, a hint of orange, stirred over a single cube. The drink that started it all.
Steeped slow, served cold. Smooth enough to drink straight, bold enough to mix with anything.
Velvety steamed oat milk over a double shot. Our baristas treat every latte like it's their last one.
We don't chase trends. We chase the kind of place people come back to.
"I've lived in Lincoln my whole life and this is the first place that feels like it actually cares about what it's serving. The porch is my favorite spot in the city."
"Coffee in the morning, cocktail at night. Same porch, different mood. It's rare to find a spot that does both sides of the day this well."
"Brought out-of-town friends here and they couldn't believe this was in Lincoln. The Old Fashioned alone is worth the trip. We went back three more times."
A few glimpses of what you'll find when you walk through our door.
We're right on 9th and Plum, easy to find and even easier to love.
