“Delicious food from a local bar. Didn’t have the best staffing, only 1 waitress servicing the entire spot, but she was working hard and the food was worth the wait. The cauliflower and wings were our favorites. The chicken strips were huge! The chicken sandwich was also huge!“

“Joined friends for their usual pub quiz night on a Wednesday. Great drink selection, both on the board and in the cooler. One of my favorite trivia experiences, very fun crowd. Ordered a flatbread at my friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint. It also came fast, considering the place was pretty busy. Also liked that they have board games to play so may have to go back on a non-pub quiz night.“

Had an incredible time at The Drinkery! The atmosphere was lively, the drinks were top-notch, and the service was exceptional. Huge shoutout to the entire team for keeping the energy high and making sure everyone had a great experience.

A special thanks to our bartender for mixing up some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a while. The attention to detail and friendly attitude made the night even better. Whether you're looking for a casual drink or a fun night out, this is definitely the place to be.

“great pub I like the selection. very laid back. the environment is great . look through library its neat.“

“Top notch drinks and staff. Highly recommend the espresso martinis and excellent selection of whiskeys and bourbons. Order a pizza!“

“I've never had a bad experience here, but I've never seen it busy either. The only drawback that I have is that they don't accept credit cards. There is an ATM available, but who wants to keep on paying those extra fees? Nobody. That's why I knocked it down one star.“

“Nice environment with great Pizza and Taps!“

“Great local bar. Friendly people and prices“

“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!“

“food & service very good 👍“

“Stopped into Eclipse on a Saturday. Friendly staff - Ashley & Britney were great, hard working & definitely entertaining! A cozy spot to relax for drinks with friends & had good music variety playing. Also a small patio seating area & plenty of TVs for sports. Will be back!“

“Great cocktail knowledge, easy atmosphere, wide selection and great for business meetups!“

“We went for the first time last Saturday. I must say I was impressed. Our waitress was amazing. We'll be coming back to play darts next time.“

“Great place and friendly atmosphere“

“Their pizza is delicious!!“

“Tons of post concert fun!“

“We have been to OB off 144th and Center before, but now days it seems like you have less people working for an honest dollar and those that do are run ragged by others who are unkind or simply don't care to understand just how hard it is to work in the service industry. So I thought I would take a moment and share my experience last night. I called OB, to give them a heads up a large group of us were coming in last night, the service and food were absolutely amazing! I had spoken with Sherry (manager? owner? I should have made a point to find out), she was concerned that they wouldn't have the staff to accommodate us. Sherry made a point to call me back to confirm that everything was coordinated as far as staff, food and space that we could use to all be together. I pre-ordered some appetizers to come out at specific times and a cheese party pizza. What I ordered is just your basic bar and grill food, however I saw other food coming out of the kitchen that I will be going back to try. So many options. The food Mozzarella Sticks (perfectly cooked), Onion Rings (seasoned deliciously), we ordered a large shredded chicken nacho that was huge and had so many flavors going on. The Soft Pretzels with a spicy cheese dip (I would dip about anything in that cheese dip, it was soooo good) then the cheese pizza. It was crispy but not burnt, perfectly portioned sauce, cheese ratio. Everything was sent out right when I had asked and fresh. Whoever was cooking last night, excellent job. Jackie was our server, she was exceptional! Not only was she working our group she was helping other patrons as well. Jackie is an absolute rock star, she could be across the room and notice a drink near empty or someone looking around and she was right there checking on us. They have a great variety of food and drink and a great crew working the floor and behind the scenes. 100% go in and check them out. As always remember to be kind and try something new.❤“

“Great prime rib and excellent service“

“An amazing place to have out!! So fun!!“

“Good peeps, fun neighborhood bar.“

“Friendly staff, fun environment.“

“amazing food, great prices, awesome service. 10/10 would recommend“

“This is a great bar. The TVs are huge and the huskers were on. That’s always a win. Liked the friendly bartender and the fast service and good drink prices. But what I especially liked was that the whole bar - including the bathroom- smelled nice. Like, not cheap air freshener, but actually nice fragrance. It did not smell like a typical dive bar. It’s the little things.“

“The men and women of the Tangier Shrine are some of the best people in the world. The work they do for children in need is beyond amazing—and it’s not for the accolades—they do what they do to help children in serious need of medical help. I am forever grateful to them.“

“Great hole in the wall bar to go to, very nice staff and good prices on drinks with lots of specials. One of the few bar i know that has a horse shoe pit, with a back patio. They have 3 dart boreds and 2 pool tables. Definitely a nice little spot to check out if you're in the neighborhood.“

“Everything was great. I definitely recommend“

“Today we had our daughters 7th birthday party at blue sky and did bowling and karaoke. The staff went out of their way to be accommodating and were truly amazing! Highly recommended! We’ll be back!“

“I have a severe food allergy and they did an amazing job of looking at the menu and letting me Know what was safe to eat.

It was a great taste, full of flavor and our service was personalized and did not make me feel like I was a bother.

We will be back. 😊“

“Started coming here about 6mo ago after moving to the area. It has quickly become our regular spot. The team running the place is great, making everyone feel welcome.

They have a broad selection of liquors, beers, and seltzer to choose from. Drinks are made well and priced right.

Multiple dart boards and pool tables to choose from along with beer pong and bar games as well.

Always a good time here at Obar.“

“Great place to hang out good food, and great bartenders!“

“First I'd like to start off by saying we love moe & curly's on maple so I had high hopes for this one! We quite frequent stuffed Olive across the street and always see it but never gone in, so we thought would give it a try! Big mistake on our part!! The atmosphere was fun and the clientele was normal. However the bartenders professionalism sadly lacked. With one male bartender to be exact! We wanted to grab some food while we watched the karaoke. Which you can only do that upstairs. So we headed upstairs after waiting about 5 minutes to be able to sit somewhere. (It was packed ) understandable we finally grabbed some seats at the bar and waited patiently for our turn. The bartender never once looked over at us, or Acknowledged us. Once again, that's okay, we still waited patiently 10 minutes goes by still nothing and we realize he's been helping/ talking to a crowd of people down at the other end of the bar. That's fine. We patiently waited finally after 10 min He looks over at us and says sarcastically "are you waiting on me?" We said yes, silly, we've been sitting here nearly 20 minutes now. He says come on over an order. We thought he was kidding and we said you come over here!! he argues with us an motions for us to walk over to his end again. we said we don't want to lose our seats. (There were people also waiting for seats) He said, I promise you won't lose them ( a promise he couldn't keep.) So we decided just 1 of us will walk over and order an the other can wait! As she is getting up an walking over Someone else steps in front of her and he completely ignored us again an helps her So my friend decided it was just time to go after 25 minutes we had enough. We'd simply skip the food and get a drink downstairs. as were leaving he gives me a dirty look.(Not my best moment but I said thank you for nothing.) And I walked away as he yelled back at me some rude words So I flipped him off! Once downstairs, we were served by a nice bartender. He comes all the way down,Tracks us down and says "hey you forgot this" and flips me off Once again I was just laughing, I thought he was being silly, but he was dead serious.Flipped me off again And said very loudly Fawk U! the female bartender told him no that's not ok To which he said I'll tell you about it later and flips me off a couple more times before going back upstairs. Where was that energy when we wanted to order food and drink? Left a sour taste in my mouth.Unfortunately we don't think we'll ever hit this one back up again. Out west would never!“

“I love The OWL! Cheri and all the bartenders are great. I’ve never once had a less than stellar experience 💜“

“Love this place. Great atmosphere, wonderful people. Our bartender Heather is awsome. Definitely a place to try. Glad I did....“

“Our waitress was very attentive! Vodka basil gimlet for the win 🌿“

“Great pizza, but don’t sleep on the salad. The big salad is great!!!!“

“The place is spotless. The foods delicious. The bathrooms are beautifully decorated, and modern. It's obvious the owners care about their customers comfort, and enjoyment. I also noticed they have many events. I went to their benefit poker tournament to play. I had the most fun I'd had in years.“

“I had an event hosted there and the service was incredible, the owner took care of everything I needed and went above and beyond. There were many people coming and going all night and the staff was extremely tentative to our needs. Not to mention they were extremely easy to work with on the setup or the event. Thank you so much for making my night stress free and easy!!“

“Bartender Nicole is great! As a woman under 30 going to the bar by myself, I felt very safe and relaxed! Prices aren't bad either! I had 1 drink and it was less than $10. She also checked on me regularly. They also apparently have popcorn!“

“Best Mexican restaurant in Omaha, haven’t had a single bad time or food here“

“LOVE is FREE! I was down in Omaha to pick up some booze, and I decided to check out some local bars. Driving down dodge I headed north to hit the road back home and found this hidden gem. At first glance the bar is much larger than it appears from the outside. Several pool tables, and a volleyball court that I am sure rivals most spots in Omaha, not to mention the endless pool and shuffleboard tables. Friendly local regulars that were welcoming and helpful, along with the barmaids Jenny, Sarah, and Memoree were attentive to my every need and made sure I was never thirsty.“

“I absolutely love this place, I order something different every time and I'm never disappointed.“

“Hosted a bridal shower there. Natalie was wonderful to work with. The food was very good, and the event room was the perfect size. An overall great experience!“

“good food! great drinks! great atmosphere!“

“Stopped in for trivia on Tuesdays sometime at 8PM on the dizzle dot.

Nice selection of drinks that aren't mind erasers for said trivia. The bartender Andrew is great. Ethan the trivia host is great. The hot open faced beef sandwich I had yesterday was great. Didn't catch the gal's handle that made it but will next Tuesday.“
