26 Best Dive Bars in Omaha

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

“What a fantastic little joint! Dare I say iconic to the Benson area! There is a wide variety of both beers and spirits. The decor is this marriage of old school and new school with a smattering of rock & roll! The owner is one of the best humans on the planet. Ask him about going to his cousins 16th birthday party 100 years ago and he’ll have quite the story for ya!“

“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!“

“Best Neighborhood Bar hands down!!“

“food & service very good 👍“

“Great dive bar with nice people. They have free food and parties for Huskers football games. Sometimes pot luck. Keno, pool, atm, and beer specials. Once a year there is abig Metal festival outback. They also party hard for St.Stans day, St.Pattys, and Halloween. Turkey bowling on thanksgiving. It’s a fun dive bar.“

“If you are traveling through south Omaha and are looking for a quiet neighborhood bar to hang out at, this is your place!! Great spot to watch a game or to have a beer with some friends. It has the feel of Cheers where everyone knows your name. I just can't say enough good things about this place!!“

“Very friendly Mid/South Omaha Bar! Great drink prices and Great Bar!“

“This place is truly rare they really go above and beyond to ensure swift refills and provide flawless service from A-Z. I was impressed by the positivity that Haley behind the bar was able to maintain she was able to handle a busy rush all by herself as if she was immune to pressure and with a smile and kindness she rocked everyones night. her character speaks volumes,work ethic is prestigious, and is knowledgeable beyond her years. I highly recommend this establishment and this bartender to anyone and everyone“

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

“The Best place to be with family and friends“

“Wish they had Cazadores but still had a few premium tequila selections but i should have ordered an authentic Foster's but Ill boomerang back for one next time. I definitely didgeridoo recommend this bar to anyone reading this and if you see me there we can play knifey-spoony.“

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

“We were in the area for the night and wandered in for a drink. Everyone was so nice. The bartender gave us great drinks and the local patrons gave us advice on where to eat. When we returned from dinner we hung out with the bartender, Emily, and another couple. It was such a great night and we are thankful for hospitality!“

“Great local bar. Friendly people and prices“

“the vibe is amazing!! the people are great and the environment is awesome!“

“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.“

“The Nifty is a universe in and of itself.“

“Much like Nebraska's slogan, honestly it's not for everyone, so is Rose and crown. I'm not sure who folks are referring to as e, but there was a fellow by the first name that started with an E that jumped in whenever my lady was having a heat stroke on yhe smoking patio. We had been there a couple of times before in the past, and rather enjoyed it. The inside is a little cramped, which is the reason why we stay outside. Had my first experience of using the bathroom with a female in the same bathroom at this place, LOL just like everywhere else on earth, there are some people you don't want to socialize with, and others that you would want to socialize with. You have to use your discretion and your big adult words to thwart unwanted company. As for any complaints about the staff in bartender, everyone has good and bad days, I can only imagine how many bad days there would be working at the bar with a bunch of Alcoholics potentially. We have never had a problem, we treat people respectfully and then we are treated with respect back. As it should be.“

“go big red karaoke night.“

“Best broasted chicken ever! We drive over here for lunch or dinner. It’s only 120 miles one way! 😄😄“

“Maxine does a great job talking with people & making sure we're all having a great time!“

“Great atmosphere, great strong drinks, beautiful and amazing bartenders! Check them out asap!“

“All the things you want from an eclectic bar that runs the gambit from dive bar to garden patio bar and everything in between. Just the best place to enjoy the company of your friends either inside or out depending on your mood. Great bartenders who know their trade and their clientele.“

“Stopped by for breakfast. Awesome fast service and great food!“
