Odessa Bull and Barrel Bar

A bar on Highway 30 at Odessa, the Buffalo County village between Kearney and Elm Creek. It sits on the old Lincoln Highway route with Interstate 80 immediately south, which makes it a practical stop for people who want a village bar rather than an interchange chain. Odessa is small enough that this is the gathering place as much as a business — the room where the neighborhood ends up. Call ahead for kitchen hours.
