Most welcoming bar in town. Staffed by the absolute BEST people. The patio out back is cozy and partially covered, great for a drink on a rainy day. This is a Queer and POC friendly space, and they don’t take kindly to people who have a problem with that. Seriously the BEST bar in Benson if not all of Omaha.

Had a great time at the Sydney with a tone of different genres to vibe, dance, and listen to! The staff is really nice and have a chill private patio. Super recommend.

First and foremost, a good venue for live music, acoustics and sound were great. Drinks were reasonably priced, bartenders were on point from a service perspective.
The space itself is rough around the edges. A bit grungy, perfect for rock and roll dive bar.
While they made any cocktail ordered, it's not a place I'd go for a cocktail, as it lacked real mixers, it all came from the premade mix in a bottle. Next time, I'll probably just order a beer.
My bottom line: Overall,...read full review
