Seven of us went into the Black squirrel for drinks, There is a small group of people sitting at the end of the bar, when we walked in, they just stared at us, made a few comments. We waited for the bartender. A few minutes later she came out of the restroom didn’t come to our table. Didn’t ask if we want drinks. One person in our group called to ask if there was a bartender on site and she responded “NO” so we walked out. Always loved Black squirrel, Henry is our favorite bartender. Sure wish he would’ve been there last night. Not sure we will be back.

The first bar my wife and I went to after moving to council bluffs. The bartender, Henry, helped us pick drinks when we didn't know what we wanted which made the night even more enjoyable. the other comments say he's a mind reader and that's accurate. The overall atmosphere of the place was cozy and the people were friendly and inviting. 10/10 would recommend this spot to anyone!

Kelsey at Blk Squirrel is truly one of a kind. She's not just pouring drinks — she’s pouring real talk, good vibes, and solid advice. Every time I see her, it feels like catching up with a true friend. She’s honest, grounded, and always keeps it 100. No fake smiles or small talk — just genuine kindness, straight-up wisdom, and ice-cold drinks.
Whether I’m having a good night or a rough one, Kelsey has a way of making it better. She’s got a good heart, a sharp mind, and the kind of energy that makes this bar feel like family. She’s absolutely amazing — and if you don’t know her yet, you’re missing out.

If I could give Henry at Blk Squirrel 100 stars, I would. Hands down, he is the reason this bar feels like home every time I walk in. From the moment I sit down, he has a fresh drink waiting like he read my mind. The man is magic. Not only is his bartending top-tier, but he goes above and beyond to make sure I feel safe and comfortable. Any unwanted attention? Henry is already on it before I even have to say a word.
He’s fabulous, funny, fast, and always makes the vibe feel just right. Blk Squirrel is my favorite spot on the 100 block, and honestly, it wouldn’t be the same without him. Cheers to Henry — the real MVP behind the bar.
