50 Best Cocktail Bars near Bellevue

“The food was delicious. It was busy, and the waitress was hurrying around to everyone. The food came out hot. Substituting vegetables for the rice was no problem.Dietary restrictions: There is a list of sides to substitute for rice and / or beans“

“I love it here. Great steak (although a bit salty for my palate), quiet, speakeasy atmostphere and very friendly waiter, Joe. Wish they don't cut up the steak though.Highly recommend for anniversaries and bdays. We always end up paying $400+, but the experience is quite worth the price.“

“I had a graduation party here and it was such an amazing experience. The food was fantastic and the staff made the event so special for our group. I can’t say enough great things about this business. Thank you James for helping me plan. Thank you Jen for taking over and keeping everything on track. The communication from you both was so clear and amazing. Thank you Jaclyn for keeping our drinks full and all the bartenders for assisting us throughout the evening. I look forward to many more parties there!“

“This bar is one of the most detail oriented and creative bars I've been to. Not just in Omaha, but in the entire country. It's fun, colorful, and puts everyone in a good mood. Bartenders is super friendly and it's amazing to watch them assemble all of the complex concoctions the menu has to offer. You won't feel like you're in Nebraska when you're in this bar“

“This is the coziest & most delightful place. Whether you are looking to kick a habit or just hoping to spice up an evening on a work night without regretting it the morning after, this is the perfect spot. Drinks are so good, and they've got a bunch of board games you can play!“

“I was lucky to find a spot at the bar. Service was a little slow, but they were pretty busy. They had a nice sake selection. Great menu with lots of variety. The “Itchy Seabass” was amazing! Really liked the Godzilla Bomb. Seating inside and out with lots of space, and a cool decor. Definitely worth checking out.“

“Great place to reserve for a large group or party! Saro kindly hosted my graduation party and it was the most wonderful experience. The layout is open in such a way that I did not feel like anyone was excluded during the party because we could always have eyes on everyone there. The turnout was quick throughout the entire night for drinks and we never ran out of yummy easily snackable plates. As an added bonus, everything on their menu is gluten free so it was very inclusive to our GF friends & family. They also let me play my own music. 10/10 recommend!Vegetarian options: Multiple menu options availableDietary restrictions: Everything is gluten free“

“Place: so cool it's HOT. LIT UP WITH RED LIGHTS! SEXY AF! Drinks: STRONG but delicious too! I'm a wimp and I could drink The Neceomancer just because it tastes likes the best spiked pink lemonade ever. Staff: fun! Helpful, very attentive and cute! Bonus: if you can get tickets go to any of the burlesque shows there. It's a small club, intimate and the dancers are RIGHT THERE (no touching! Yes tipping!) The whole spectacular spectacle is a feast for the senses!“

“Out shopping today and stopped by for a glass of bubbly and loved both the wine and establishment. I had a glass of the Francois Montand brut rose sparkling wine which was fantastic—bought a bottle. Excellent service and atmosphere. Thanks to the team at Barroco for their time today!! :)“

“I would recommend Get Real Sandwiches to anyone visiting Omaha. We came with a group of 12 people, and Gabby was extremely welcoming, and was very eager to help with everything we needed! Especially the recommendations! Gabby is definitely a keeper, and such a great personality!“

“Looks like a super fun place. Tonight is only their second night open and biz is still a little slow, but I'm sure it's gonna pick up. Great location downtown on the Capitol District, lots of fun in the area. Super nice staff. Menu looks pretty good, though we didn't order food tonight. Well definitely he back.“

“This place is so yummy!! My husband and I went here for date night and were blown away. We made a reservation and our table was ready when we got there. The food was delicious and tasted so fresh! Their drink menu is soooooooo extensive. If you've got a taste for something, they've got it. After our meal, we went downstairs to check out the hydroponics garden. It was impressive!! Would definitely go here again!“

“Wonderful atmosphere. Kind severs. Drinks were a little expensive. I was a little disappointed in the server's lack of knowledge on the progressive party and Teddy Roosevelt's attempt at a 3rd term under the Bull-moose party. But, overall, a good experience.“

“One of the best cocktail lounges in West Omaha with a great drink selection, a comfortable decor whether you are in jeans or a suit, and an awesome bar staff! You can also get food from Pulled BBQ Omaha in Rockbrook Village delivered right to your table at Public House!“

“Well, I am from out of town, SE MN to be exact. I was recommended to come her from a local. Well, I arrived and Taylor was there to great me. She asked what I would like and I said and Olde Fashioned, she replied, what bourbon, I said dealer's choice. She chose well. The price/size of the beverage was just about perfect. Taylor was very friendly and knowledgeable. An added bonus, you all use the good cherries! Highly recommend going to this place for a drink or 2.“

“The atmosphere and decor here is unmatched. Such a unique speakeasy. Love the Alice in wonderland theme and the cocktails were decent. Expensive but on par with any speciality cocktail lounge. You gotta get at least one that they light on fire. All the staff were super sweet as well.“

“Very cool ambience and decoration. The location on the basement of the hotel gives the appearance of an actual speakeasy but there is easy access to the street. Music was a bit too loud for a speakeasy ambience. Cocktails were not consistent, due mainly to bartenders. There was one that knew what they were doing and the other not so much. I guess just luck if you get the right person. Food options not that extensive here. The steak bites were great though. Super tender and flavorful. Overall, good for a stop and definitely should be check out.“

“I finally went to Lyle's on Thursday after hearing nothing but great reviews. It was so good that I ordered to go on Sunday!! I'm always dubious about trying a new pizza place because I am celiac and most smaller local places don't have an alternative other than a cauliflower crust. So, I was unbelievably impressed with their non cauliflower gluten free crust......it is the BEST gluten free crust that I've ever had! Staff is great and super polite and efficient. The whole place is a win“

“I have only been here twice, but both times I have loved the experience! The bartender really knows their stuff, and is good at balancing attending to patrons, memorizing orders to mix, and making conversation if you are sitting at the bar. Every drink I have seen comes out beautifully and each one I've tasted even more so. I have enjoyed trying the funky seasonal creations, and want to keep coming back for each new menu. I have not tried the NA drinks, but really appreciate that they are an option!!Drinks aside, I LOVE the small atmosphere, the quirky design of the interior, and whoever plays DJ deserves a raise. I would feel comfortable bringing anyone who enjoys cocktails or mocktails here, because of how inviting this place is.“

“I went for lunch on a Friday with a colleague from work. Our service was wonderful, our waitress was a dear! The atmosphere was wonderful kind of a casual New Orleans/ French vibe but two things I think its needs (and these are kind of nitpicky): 1) for being New Orleans inspired the only thing that suggested that was the menu (and the name) some more ambiance would be nice and 2) the table was small. We sat at a table for two but between the drinks, appetizer plates, main course plates and then the bottles of hot sauce and other detritus there was no room on the table to actually comfortably eat!The food was wonderful but the reason I gave it a three is that there weren't a lot of options for non-red meat or non-pork eaters. Even the salads had bacon or pork sausage. I ended up getting a shrimp roll - which was wonderful but other than the spinach dip appetizer was basically the only thing I could order with out being obnoxious and asking for half the ingredients to be removed from a dish (which I have asked for before but I don't like being 'that' person.)Dietary restrictions: Be careful not a lot of options“

“The atmosphere is amazing here, it's beautiful on the inside and has wonderful beautiful people who work there! EVERYTHING on the menu is DELICIOUS! I especially enjoyed the beautiful Starry Night cocktail, others in our group loves the orange julius cocktail and creme brulee martini. The crab and artichoke dip starter was so delicious and I could easily go here for that alone! The Argentinan Pork was delicious as well! Amazing flavor! We were so full we didn't try any desserts but the dinner and drinks were wonderful! We appreciate the staff being so accommodating, and loved the surprise photo bomb in one of our group photos:) this place is definitely a hidden ✨ gem ✨“

“What a cool speakeasy. The espresso martini was delicious, staff were super friendly, they have keno and board/card games to play, plus FREE popcorn ?Vegetarian options: They are drinks and popcornDietary restrictions: If you don't drink alcohol, don't come here unless you want a mocktailParking: Street (free and paid)Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly. It is a barWheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible, you need to take stairs down to the basement“

“We showed up a little after midnight, so we got there a little late for the live music & the crowd had died down; there were only 5 other people there. The atmosphere and pricing seem fine, but the bartender used cranberry juice in my tequila sunrise instead of grenadine, so my drink was way funky..I probably won’t make it a point to come back.“

“It was our first time at Cedar. Nick is a special bartender. We asked him for recommendations and then just to "make me something" and he did not disappoint! My favorite was the Amaretto sour. It's Nick's secret recipe and it was so good, I had 3 of them! I wish we would have come here sooner!“

“We love Josephine's Cozy Corner! It's always chill here and the service is great. Make sure you try out a Scooby Doo shot while you're here as it's the best! There is a pool table and it's a really cozy spot for couples or small groups. A hidden gem in Omaha!“

“Great friend mushrooms and onion rings with ranch dressing. Burger had all the potential of being one of the top in Omaha, but the patty itself didn't have the seasoned flavor, to me the meat didn't taste fresh. Wings were above average. Atmosphere was interesting, some say dive bar but it is much nicer inside. CASH ONLY Lots of history with celebrity visits, an Omaha favorite.“

“I've never had a better breakfast burrito! Amazing!! Our server Chrissi couldn't have been any better. Her courteous, attentive and kind demeanor made a fantastic breakfast into an exceptional one. KUDOS!! Will always visit when back in town.“

“Went here for the 1st time, and ended up returning 2 more times within 2 weeks. It was so good!!! So many options to choose from, and your food is served really fast, mimosas were great too!! Loved the waitresses as well! Definitely one of my top breakfast restaurants!!“

“The menu has rotated again!! Of course it's awesome.Some great hot drinks to warm the soul Irish Coffee pictured below.Try the other warm one with a hint of orange and cognac.Be sure to try them if you are looking for an amazing old fashion .“

“What a find on our road trip from NH to CO! My daughter is vegetarian so we have to def research places before we go. The Vegan Lobster Roll had us intrigued & didn’t disappoint. The drink menu was a CD case w/ drinks printed on the CDs. We got the Jagged Little Pill & Ready to Die, both were perfect. The carrot ravioli with homemade pesto (best I’ve ever had) was heavenly & the Brussel sprouts were devoured in minutes. Highly recommend this!!“

“I wish I had taken photos! I have been hoping for a martini bar in Omaha for so long and Stuffed Olive delivered. I got the delicious chocolate cake martini and the crab Rangoon dip! Our server gave great recommendations and was so helpful! Super chic decor and dim lighting with the perfect amount of volume made this venue perfect! Not too loud, great vibe and great options!“

“During our most recent visits to Omaha, we set out as usual to research and visit any potential stand out craft cocktail bars. My searches led us to a few places including The Berry & Rye.Our conclusion?The Berry & Rye was the most unique and exceptional craft cocktail bar we visited.It had a true unique and independent vibe, The decor was posh, swank and vibrantly eclectic and classy, the mixologist was super cool and chill, welcoming and hospitable, and talented and independently innovative.We enjoyed our craft cocktails; and then I enjoyed a pour of my favorite Italian digestíf (Braulio) afterwards.“

“My experience with the Blackstone Meatball was take out. My family and I decided to try something new to take home for dinner. I am so glad we did. I cannot say enough about it.I recommend the Flight of meatballs - and yes, I said a flight. There were 5 different meatballs and sauces. When these hit the table, out came the forks and poof it was gone. Everyone agreed, this is a keeper. Plus the pasta was cooked to a beautiful al dente.They are even considerate and include an option with rice and mushrooms for non carnivores. We will be back“

“I am not sure how this place is for a bar, although it looked like a fun crowd on even a week night. However I do love this place because it is one of the few, scratch that, the only BAR AND GAS STATION that I have ever seen. You can get cheaper fuel here than anywhere else in the area. You just need to pay cash inside.I think that is a perfectly good reason to check the place out. It is something everyone should see.“

“Came here for the first time on a cold Monday night, because it was my sister's last night in town, so I'm not surprised that it was pretty dead & there wasn't a lot going on. Would definitely like to come back when there's a show going on or something. The space is very cute & cozy, I love the wainscoting & the the wallpaper & the light fixtures. Feels like an old house. There's a little library nook with a cool vintage couch. However, the lighting was so dark that it was hard to appreciate the design of it all. Accompanied my sister when she went out to smoke on the patio & the heater on the awning was nice. Her friend bought everyone one of these sake in a juice box. Never heard of it before so not sure if they're common or a rare find, but how cute! Overall the experience was good but because it was so dark, kinda quiet & mostly empty, it almost lulled me to sleep. I'll have to check it out another time & give an update.“

“Really chill vibe here, which was beguiling on arrival. It looks retro, throwback, 70s funk meets NY speakeasy. We didn't know what to expect, but this exceeded it.The cocktails were all pretty good and well-crafted, especially the mezcal-based one with thyme oil. Service was that middle distance where they mainly leave you alone but they're very helpful, friendly, and personal when they do engage. Music was fantastic. Exactly the right volume, with beats that made you feel alive and happy at an almost subconscious level. I'd be interested in stopping back in for some off the menu cocktails and see how those go. This could well be an under the radar 5-star lounge.“

“If you're staying at the Westin Element, this is connected to the entrance to the property in a weird sort of way. Bourbon, Scotch, and whisky is their game. Lots of rare, allocated bottles. If you've ever wanted to try something before you plop down $80 at a store, I recommend a place like this. Service was friendly, knowledgeable and timely. Bonus if you visit on Wednesday night. ALL whiskies are 25% off.“

“Came in for a couple of after dinner drinks. The bartender was so nice and friendly! She was just so personable and fun!The first two draws of Modelo were great, then the third was very flat and tasted odd. Not sure if something happened with the tap, if it got changed or what, but the bartender was wonderful through fixing everything.“

“What a fun place to go for a chill weekend night out! There is a good amount of seating at this outdoor area. There is some seating under a large pergola and more tables with umbrellas. These are attached to a grassy area with some lawn games. Overall just a fun environment. There is a small bar that serves some cocktails along with high noons and beers. The pretty cocktails were refreshing and delicious. The lines for drinks can be lengthy on a busy night but it moves fairly quickly. This would be a great spot to get together with friends or family earlier in the night. It's a fun spot to sit outdoors and sip on some drinks. We went on a night where they were doing salsa lessons which was a blast!“

“Very festive authentic (from the Greeks at my table)! Had the Pastichio and the Gyro platter. The house salad was a fabulous start, but the noodles, meat, and seasonings in the Pastichio were so warming and fulfilling. The gyro meat was very moist and delicious.“

“We opted for the Good Evans (GE) brunch and were treated to Celeste's cheerful service in a bright, comfortable setting. Their delightful dishes, GE Breakfast Pie with a biscuit & gravy side, and a Garden Omelette, sourdough (MIA but not missed), and dressed greens (wonderfully sweet surprise). Both dishes showcased stellar flavors and proved GENEROUS in portions, enough to take some home (not sure we could share one plate). We enjoyed our inaugural visit and were invited back as new regular customers.Thanks, Celeste and your kitchen teammates.“

“Awesome place! They serve food until midnight. Great place for good drinks and a good vibe. The cheeseburger is amazing and my new favorite burger in Omaha! And I'm not that into burgers that much, but this one is done right Good service and fun little concept where you call. Great fun place to eat and drink before a night out. Will definitely return!!“

“My husband and I have been super impressed by the Dell since it reopened last year—amazing craft cocktails, solid beer options, and very elevated pub food that you can tell is made with high quality ingredients. We were last there on NYE for an early dinner and the service and food were top notch. Honestly would choose this over other $100 places, so good! They went above and beyond for us. Hope they can continue to build back up demand—as it is such an incredible atmosphere since the remodel!“

“I've been going here for years while I was working. The cigar selection seems to vary but the service is always great and friendly. I've had many afternoons and nights here that are all great memories everytime I go back to Omaha this is always a high priority stop.“

“Been in the VIP 1/2 dz times in past 6 mos, very nice ppl in a nice cocktail lounge. No loudmouth's, no vulgar language, mature crowd.Tonight was a fish fry comped by a customer who obviously is a great fisherman! Had such a nice time, plan to go back more often. Friendly bartenders.“

“Not what I expected! This is a sports bar! I had fun and I have been wanting to visit for a long time and I'm glad I did. The cocktail waitresses are so cute and they walk around to check on you often. The free popcorn machine was so awesome. My only gripe is how loud the music was.“

“One of the best atmospheres in Omaha if you are looking for a club type setting. Security does a very good job of maintaining order, especially one security guard whose name I believe is. Brian. He is a very happy laid-back employee, yet he still maintains a very good eye over the happenings of the bar. Also, he's kind of cute and his smile makes me start sweating. The bartender Bambi is extremely attentive and friendly. Possibly the most beautiful person I have ever interacted with in my life inside and out. The main reason why I patron this bar.“

“I was told by the g/f that we have tried this restaurant before, yet I do not remember ever going here. However, I know better than to argue, so here we are. Brushi is a beautiful little hideaway at the Westridge Shopping Center, located off of N.132nd St. and W. Dodge Frontage Rd. In Omaha. It's bistro style seating along with a small bistro style menu, consisting of a lot of great food. We both started off with their "Onion Soup Normandy". A creamy onion soup with Gruyère cheese and croutons. I chose the Hamburger for my main course, which was seasoned to perfection and cooked to medium rare. I do not eat the bun so I did away with that. She had the "Potato Gnocchi" with mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes in a cream sauce. Very delicious. Our waiter was very much Johnny on the spot with the water refills ( I only drink water ) and took very good care of us. The nicest touch though was when the chef came out and greeted the customers asking how their food was. That's class! We will definitely be going back and trying other items in the menu. Still on the hunt for that ever elusive bowl of amazing Pho!“

“Visited Catalyst for the first time with a group of friends last night. To get to Catalyst, we were able to walk into the front doors of the Farnham Hotel and straight back down a long hallway to the bar. The interior is very upscale and sophisticated. The outdoor area is also nice with fireplaces and various seating options. The specialty cocktail menu looked good, though I ordered a gimlet and thought it was delicious, very well made and balanced. My friend ordered fries which I tried, and they were very crispy and salted the perfect amount, so I would definitely get these again! The bartenders were great and extremely friendly! They were great for accommodating a large group, and remembered all of us when ordering more drinks. For an upscale-feeling bar, people were in a range of casual to nicer outfits. I thought the drinks may be expensive, as no prices were listed on the menus. For two gimlets, the price was around $24. This is a great date night spot, with more intimate alcoves to be able to talk and the darker romantic feel. The couches and outdoor area are also perfect for smaller groups. Definitely a nice spot if you're looking for a nicer place downtown with great drinks!“

“Too much change going on in your life? Miss the days of yesteryear. Head on down to the interlude. 5 Busch lights, a Ketel one and soda and a Blue moon later, my tab was only $27 plus tip. The first time I drank at the Interlude, I was a wee lad of 21 back in the year 2000, I only make it to this fine place every few years, but the only thing that had changed is the style of TV. If only they had the giant square bricks still it would be perfect.“
