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.

Can’t wait to come back—cheers to an awesome crew! Furthermore thanks for supporting those in need within the local community.“

“Great selection of old school arcade games. One suggestion... it would be really nice if the actual cost of each game were clearly posted, or some signage to this effect: "Hey, folks! We realize it's not 1981 anymore. But we thought you might like to know that the games with 25¢ on the coin return actually cost 50¢ to play." (I had to ask the bartender.)“

“Had a perfect dinner and drinks with my wife. Some of my favorite food in Omaha.“

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.“

“Best Neighborhood Bar hands down!!“

“Food was really good, our server was great. Great atmosphere!“

“I love Martini's & this place was on my list for my bday on 12/15 - yes I know its not open on Sun, so my plan was to go on Sat the 14th. Weather interfered w ice storm on Fri 13th, so Sat night was super packed & i wasn't able to even get in....no biggie, went to Roxxy n had a blast! Fast forward to my bff coming out from NY n here for Christmas n we decided to go out on 12/28 n try again & yay we were able to finally get in! The place is so elegant n beautiful & has a very classy comfortable feeling to it - I knew I would 💜 it! At the bar talking about my quest n fail of trying to come here for my bday a few weeks ago, sitting next to me was the bar manager Carmen - she said she'd buy me a shot n I was like "oh cool", I never saw it so thought she was just being nice n a totally forgot n I thought 'its ok, no biggie"....then I go to pay my bill & turns out she picked up my 1st round of drinks - so extremely super sweet of her & I appreciated that n her so much. Huge THANK YOU to her & bartender Sophia for making my visit w my bff rock & an awesome experience!“

“it is a great place to hang, play games and meet new people“

“Great neighborhood bar! Adrianna was bartending when we were there, and she made our day! I assume she owns the place. Everyone loved her! Played the best music! She turned what was a normal Thursday into one of the best times I’ve had in my 30 years in Omaha!“

“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.“

“*I gave a 5-star on food; but they do NOT serve food here, they have free popcorn though.

I have never seen any unfriendly bartender here. They always work hard and are easy going, too. Reasonable pricing on any item here; very honest and humble, but knowledgeable.
They have a great selection of… a shit ton of both whiskey and beer here.“

“I planned a corporate event there on Tuesday night and it was wonderful! I had nothing but compliments from our team that attended on both the drinks and the service. This was a rushed event for me to schedule, and I cannot thank the owner and the staff enough for making all of my planning look so fantastic! I would absolutely recommend them for a private event. The atmosphere was casual, stylish and inviting and I was so very pleased with my result! Thank you so much!“

“Nice environment with great Pizza and Taps!“

“Emmets is a local drinking hole to many so the conversations are lively and the drinks are strong. Emma and Rob are two of the best bartenders in the game. They’re fast and courteous with all patrons. Comedy shows happen at 7PM Sunday and Tuesday in the side room if you need a laugh. I recommend this spot.“

“Extensive whiskey and scotch menu.“

“Best craft beer available downtown from the best Nebraska brewery.“

“Love the Turf. Love the bartenders, love the owner. Love the pool table. Hate some of the regulars 😅 just kidding!!!“

“We held my daughter’s bridal shower at the Omaha location. The venue was perfect! I worked with Maddie prior to the event; she answered all of my questions and we had the details ironed out ahead of time.
The day of the event was fantastic! We set up rather quickly and had everything ready to go by the time of the shower. Everyone had a fantastic time and the venue provided the perfect setting and ambiance. Our bartender Kelly was amazing! I’m highly recommend hosting an event at Saro!“

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

“Love this place! Trivia was tight!!“

“Staff is great, food is always good. Fun atmosphere!“

“Missed Happy Hour on a Tuesday, but ordered an IPA and tacos. Beer could have been colder. Tacos were excellent. Parking is somewhat difficult. Don't look up at ceiling--lots of dust around fans that are directly overhead. Dining room was closed because of leaks in roof.“

“Champagne ON TAP! It is the only place to go for celebrations..“

“great menu but Maddy is the one that rocks the bar and gives the experience! in town for the college world series and our first time. she answered all the questions and did it with a warming attitude. we couldn't have asked for more during our meal. she also crushed the service bar and I hope her tip out reflects the effort she puts in. from one bartender to another great job“

“Hello how are you? My name is Jeovani Franco and I am a chef at Creighton University, but I do part-time recycling cans and bottles. to pay for my bikes it is hard to support the family and this helps me get extra money. I would like to know if I could collect the bottles or cans that leave your business. I could take the containers to put them there. I already have some places that have given me permission and in exchange I leave the place where I pick them up clean, please let me know if you are interested“
