If you’re in Omaha and looking for a place with an incredible atmosphere, great food, and genuine hospitality, look no further than The Cove Bar and Grill. This place completely blew me away, especially when it comes to their chicken wings – hands down some of the best I’ve ever had! The wings were crispy, perfectly sauced, and just the right amount of spice. Every bite was a burst of flavor that had me craving more!
But what truly made this experience exceptional was the owner. He went out of his way to make sure my group felt welcome, checking in regularly and sharing stories about the place. You can tell he takes pride in what he does, and it really shows in both the food and the friendly atmosphere. It’s rare to find a spot where you feel like family, and The Cove truly nails it.
Whether you’re a local or just passing through, The Cove Bar and Grill is a must-visit. Amazing wings, top-notch service, and a place that feels like home. Highly recommend!

Went in early on a weekend, female bartender clearly didn't want to be there. After tiring of waiting while she was texting, asked for something and she literally said, "what do you want?" Well, let's see, we wanted to spend money in the establishment that employe her but never again. Wow.

The outdoor patio is a perfect spot to hang with friends on a summer night! There's tvs and music but not unbearably loud so conversations can still happen. The ambiance is lovely too with the lighting and landscaping surrounding

Not sure on the food. I went in to have a drink while waiting on my wife and daughter. They were 2 doors down getting there hair done so I walked over and a couple beers and watch sports. Nice establishment very good location too.
Will never go back! Another bar/restaurant owner charging a fee to use a cc, even though they can deduct 100% of all credit card charges on their 10C. I have zero tolerance for bar owners like this! There are places all over town that are not charging a fee to use a cc! How about letting the customer know first instead of the surprise on the receipt. This will hurt your serves/bartenders the most. I never tip on tax. First thing I do is subtract the cc fee from the subtotal, then tip on that amount. Classic case of walking over dollars picking up dimes! Hi Ho!

Last night was the first time iv ever had a problem at this bar.I am a woman with short hair, not that that should matter at all.I went to use the restroom and over the sound system I hear “Tory Tory” from the dj, who doubles as a bouncer apparently.In storms Tory into the bathroom “THERES A MAN IN HERE” yelling as she’s squatting down looking under the stall. I was oh so conveniently using the bathroom because that’s what you do in a bathroom. Sitting on the toilet well, because I can’t stand and pee.After I finished up and all while Tory kept yelling and other patrons were concerned and starting to get upset as well at this point, I opened the door came out and she CLEARLY saw I had breasts and was a woman. No apologies nothing. Tory left the bathroom and began to make her rounds laughing joking smiling with people telling them it’s just a woman that looks like a man.My sister in law was watching the whole thing unfold from outside the bathroom.Now as a female with short hair I often get mistaken for a man but iv never been put in such an awkward position. Very aggressive and with so much disrespect behind this interaction it really stung.As I came out of the bathroom completely embarrassed and just wanting to leave my fiance went up to the bar to address this situation and was ignored, then when my fiance finally got Tory’s attention she got super defensive and stated that we needed to understand where she was coming from. That it’s her job to be vigilant of things like this. Again no apology just acting like a bouncer.If any of these people would have checked my ID they would have saw my picture with long hair or could even see the “F” on the ID.But they did not.They made a choice to assume.I use to frequent this bar often and the Wednesday crew is always so welcoming to me. About a month ago I stopped in and the lovely bartender with blonde hair recognized me and came right up to me “I haven’t seen you in so long” THAT was such a good feeling. So to go here last night thinking this was a safe bar and my chances of something like this happening was slim to none then to have something like this happen is so disappointing.Both the dj “pulse” I believe and Tory should’ve handled this situation way differently.. Embarrassing.

I came here on a Saturday night and even though it was packed, the service was incredible and the food was amazing! We got the spicy sausage dip and the pretzel bits with some tap beers. It was some of the best bar food I’ve ever had. Absolutely will be coming back!
Parking: Big parking lot with lots of room!
Kid-friendliness: It’s not super kid friendly but it’s still a great place!

I am updating my previous review: not so much because of the venue, but because of the owner, Chad. There was a service issue, and Chad went above and beyond to ensure it was corrected and made right. I have never known a bar owner to go to the lengths that Chad did to make sure it was corrected. I am truly appreciative of his efforts.
