One Love Brewery unveils major renovations, bringing thoughtful design upgrades, a refreshed menu, and a reinvigorated guest experience to downtown Lincoln.
If you’ve been to One Love Brewery in downtown Lincoln, you know it’s long been a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike—a place to gather after a day on the slopes or to kick back with a craft beer in hand. But if you’ve driven by recently, you’ve probably noticed something big is happening. One Love is undergoing a top-to-bottom renovation. While the community spirit and mill-town charm remain, the space has been completely transformed. From a redesigned interior to a refreshed outdoor experience and a new culinary direction, the team is gearing up to welcome you back—better than ever.
A Reimagined Space with Purpose
The revitalization isn’t just cosmetic—it’s structural, functional, and intentional. The team rethought every room to better serve guests, staff, and the community.
Some of the key upgrades include:
– New wrap-around bar with warm woodwork and improved layout
– Open brewing room now visible to guests for a behind-the-scenes feel
– Reworked kitchen layout for faster, smoother service
– Rustic-modern finishes with slate, tile, and mill-era character
– Brighter, more open upstairs dining area
– Private event space for weddings, dinners, and groups
– Dedicated private room ideal for 60–70 person gatherings
– All-new siding and added windows for a cleaner, brighter look
– Refreshed exterior detailing that enhances curb appeal while honoring the original structure
The refreshed space blends history with forward-thinking design—creating an experience that’s functional, welcoming, and ready for anything.

In the Kitchen: A New Culinary Philosophy
The transformation extends into the kitchen, where a new culinary vision is taking shape. The focus? Doing fewer things, better—anchored in fresh ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and consistent execution.
Key changes include:
– A streamlined, high-quality, seasonal menu
– Fan-favorites like the giant pretzel are staying
– Most previous menu items have been retired
– A renewed emphasis on pride, discipline, and consistency in the kitchen
– A team culture centered around quality, accountability, and energy
The result is a dining experience that feels just as good for the chefs as it does for the guests.
