“10/10 would drink here again great bartenders“

“Great spot!“

“Came into town for the Omaha Zoo and looked up places with karaoke and Kikkers popped up! Darts boards, Touchtunes (before karaoke), pool tables and cheap drinks and slot machines! What more do you need? Definitely will be back! Oh and we had the chicken tenders and house made chips and both were SO good!“

“Love this bar! They were awesome with the new mask mandate and even though not everyone is happy about it, they kept everyone in compliance. Bar tender Tim was attentive and walked around making sure everyone was taken care of. Would recommend to anyone“

“I love their drinks and pool table, good drunk people . Loves smoking cigars at outside“

“1892 is the best sports bar and really the only place I like to watch sports other than my house. Pool table and darts and good company. Jeremy the owner is a class act and very accommodating to the patrons of the bar. I’ve hosted baby showers and birthday parties at 1892 and it’s always been a success! You like to watch soccer at 7AM in morning? Well 1892 will be open so you can cheer on your favorite team! Go Nottingham Forest!“

“I love this place! There's only a few places I go out to. I even had my first drink(legal drink) that Dan served back when I was in grad school house hunting. Crazy dan still serves and works here lol.but ultimately I recommend this place a thousand times over. Gracie and Dan have always been my favorite. insane customer service and bartender skills. Gracie runs this place like a pro/killer. And the food is always good. overall I'm always enthralled every time I'm there.“

“One of my favorite council bluffs bars. Always clean service is top notch plenty of dart boards and best of all no drama always feel welcome wether it’s new people I’ve invited or just hanging out with the regulars. BEST FRIED SHRIMP in town and only $6“

“A great, friendly place to hang out and visit with other nice people. I've been there a lot and no complaints ever.“

“Great service and amazing food. The staff was also equally as amazing. Look forward to trying all the delicious food on their menu“

“great drink prices, the bartenders are good there they know what they're doing. great service, they have five pool tables, a Rockin jukebox three speakers that rocks the place and one dartboard the atmosphere is very clean.“

“I hit Hard Luck everytime I am in Council Bluffs for the weekend.“

“Coldest beer and best karaoke in town!“

“Big Al's really came through for a grieving family when their plans for a Celebration of Life fell through at the last minute. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate them. Thanks so much.“

“Oskies is a bar I've visited quite a few times, particularly to watch my Chicago Bears lose to whatever team they're up against. The staff is always so friendly and inviting. and the patrons all seem to get along despite everybody cheering for different teams and simultaneously pitying the poor Bears fans. I had a few slices of a thin crust, cheese pizza and some chicken Nachos which arrived quickly. Oskies has no pool tables, nor karaoke, but darts and video poker will keep you distracted from how bad our Bears are doing. The bathroom has a ton of graffiti , which you'll notice, should you excuse yourself to the bathroom to cry in a stall about The Offensive Line of the Chicago Bears.“

“The daily specials are always good and a great value.“

“This is a family run operation in the most absolute wonderful way possible. It was our first time visiting for Dinner Tonight and we were immediately greeted with what felt like open arms and were shown around. The food was fresh and hot and the atmosphere was laid back and down to earth. Great place to bring the family or gather with friends. First time wont be the last time! Thank you guys!...Al.“

“Our Teufelhund Veterans Group stopped there for lunch on our way back from Colorado. Called ahead for our group of 13 and everything was ready for us. Great service and food!“

“This is one of the best places in CB for breakfast! Very flavorful and great service! The omelette was amazing! ♥️♥️“

“GREAT ENVIRONMENT! AND THE SOUND SYSTEM IS AMAZING!“

“We came here before a concert at Stir Cove. There seemed to be only two servers for the whole restaurant but they did pretty good keeping up.

The Trash Can Nachos really steal the show. They are absolutely loaded with melty toppings and the presentation is wonderful. My Bacon Mac-n-Cheese Burger was delicious. However, it is so sloppy and gooey that once you pick it up, you can't put it down until you are done. The tenderloin was the size (and shape) of New Hampshire. The cheese fries were awesome while the wings and margarita were ok but not special.

Overall, this is a wonderful spot to grab a bite!“
