First it was the "Rebel Restaurant in Roseville" that wouldn't stay closed, risked fines and license challenges but stood by their beliefs that, done properly, dining in was safer than shopping at Costco or Home Depot. Today, now that things have opened up a bit, Matt Oliver, owner of House of Oliver's has doubled down on post pandemic food and entertainment experiences and opened his second location in Lincoln to a most unique community. Called Oliver's Brewhouse and Grill, it's an impressive facility to begin with but not without its' own pandemic stories, including a most unfortunate tragedy earlier in the year. Enjoy our discussion as Matt shares stories of support from both the community and the his own team, as well as the welcoming environment he's found in Lincoln. I think you'll agree, you'll want to make a trip out to a special place in a special town when you're done with this episode.
