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

“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.)“

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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Best Neighborhood Bar hands down!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great local bar. Friendly people and prices“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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.

“Had an awesome time at this bar! A shorter, dwarfish looking bartender who made some great whiskey cokes combined with the 90’s style country music made for an awesome night. I ended up finding their Facebook page and came in for a couple of their live band nights from Nashville. Have yet to have a bad time here!“

“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.“

“A part of old Omaha that soon will be gone. I wish the best for Leona's speeding recovering and return to bar tending.“
