A new type of bar and grill will open in Lincoln this summer, providing customers with more than just food and drink.

Sparta Bar and Grill will open at 6940 A Street, the former Grandmother’s location, and will offer a full kitchen, a full bar, and a plethora of board games.

The bar prides itself on being a gaming community that also serves food and drink, according to owner Aaron Bonar.

Bonar has owned and operated Sparta Games in Omaha for the past two years, but said the expansion to Lincoln provides an opportunity take his business plan to “a whole new level.”

The location in Lincoln will have a larger kitchen, a full drink menu, and of course, tons of games. In fact, Bonar described the bar and grill as something similar to Dave & Buster’s, but instead of electronic machines, you sit at a table and play board or card games.

Bonar is moving fast with the opening of Sparta Bar and Grill, as a soft opening is scheduled to take place in the next week and a half and the grand opening will be in June.
