The Best Beer Bar in Omaha

Yia Yia's Pizza & Beer

★★★★☆ 3.9 (292) • $$

"We had the Polynesian pizza, and one of the veggie. The veggie was just okay, but the Polynesian was incredible! Spicy but not excessively so. Not cheap, but fairly priced. We got takeout but it's a cool vibe inside the place, wouldn't mind dining it sometime. One tip - absolutely get the thick crust. We got one of each and the thin crust left a lot to be desired. The thick was tremendous."

Backlot Taphouse

★★★★☆ 4.4 (157) • $$

"We stopped here again before another hockey game, and I was surprised they had the full menu available from what it appeared. We went with the butchers pizza that tasted amazing. This was my first time with Detroit style pizza and it did not disappoint. I also ordered the bacon cheddar sticks that were very good as well. Our pizza easily fed my husband and myself, and we took home leftovers. They have a decent selection on the menu, so I definitely plan to visit again and try something different."

Rathskeller Bier Haus

★★★★☆ 3.8 (118) • $$

"Great place for lunch! We were there slightly after typical lunch hour so it was not busy. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. The menus at the table could use some refreshing, as they are semi-tattered, but useable. We ordered a pretzel to share, and it was tasty. The grilled cheese sandwich was gooey and delicious. My bratwurst was unlike any other one I've ever had, but I enjoyed it. The best part of everything was the tomato jam that came with the grilled cheese. It makes a fantastic dip for the kettle chips that come with the sandwiches. I'm not from the area so it's unlikely I'll ever have the chance to get back there, though I would if given the chance."

The Casual Pint - Countryside Village

★★★★★ 4.6 (78) • $$

"Met here for a few patio beers. Huge selection of cans and even some NA beers if you're looking. Small but comfy patio and a lively crowd on a Friday!"

Local Beer, Patio, and Kitchen - Millard

★★★★☆ 3.6 (118) • $$

"First time I'd visited this establishment and had never heard of it prior. Went to lunch with some family members after piquing our interest when searching restaurants in the area. The restaurant was nearly empty except for a few patrons at the bar. Our food came out fairly quickly as expected but there were some issues. The sides had been mixed up with half of the order. In addition, the burger patties were half the size of the bun - essentially mini hockey pucks. Overall, not a raving experience by any means which was unfortunate."

Margarita's Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (102) • $$

"I loved this place. While I did not have any margaritas I was very impressed with the food. I got the Pollo Fundido and was impressed. The chorizo was fantastic great flavor while not heavy on the cinnamon. The chicken was very well seasoned and crispy yet juicy. The Al pastor was also amazing. I read some of the reviews after already eating here and I don't think some people know what authentic Mexican is and maybe need to stick to taco bell. This is the real deal. The staff were all super friendly and very welcoming. Next time I visit Omaha this will for sure by a stop."

Library Pub

★★★★☆ 4.3 (55) • $

"Good pub for whiskey lovers. The owner was tending bar on Christmas Day. I had hunted a bit for a tavern that was open. He suggested several different bourbons for me. I settled on an Old Forester 1920. Generous pour. Friendly and accommodating of my internet needs. Atmosphere dark. They have a lot of obscure and expensive bottles on the shelf. The shelves that are not lined with bottles are lined with books. Country music in the background which I was enjoying. The owner was filling in for the bartender, who took that country off soon after he arrived. He probably would have left it on if I asked, but as a non-regular I didn't want to overstep."

Moran's Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (66) • $$

"This is a family favorite for us. The wait staff are awesome with our preschooler, and the food is great. We especially enjoy the patio when the weather is nice."

Liquid Sunshine Taproom

★★★★☆ 3.7 (63) • $$

"Walked in on a Tuesday night while in town for business and looking for something to do to kill some time for the night. Things were a little busy for a Tuesday night and the staff were a little overwhelmed. That didn't stop Jessica and Austin from making me feel welcome and at home. Being far away from home and having nothing going on, it really made me feel good to be around welcoming people.The chips and queso, wings and the brown ale on nitro were all on point. I didn't step next door for a movie, but seems like a great option and venue. If you're in the area and looking for some bar snacks and good beer options the stop in, it's worth it. Say hi to Jessica and Austin for me!!"

Down The Hatch Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (69) • $$

"Great food at a great price. We had burgers, wraps,chicken strips and pork tenderloin at our table. Everyone loved their food."

Blue Fork Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (32)

"Don't like buffets typically but had their Sunday buffet not realizing it was buffet only. Very pleasantly surprised!"

The Cottonwood Room

★★★★☆ 3.8 (31)

"Sophisticated | Date-Spot | MocktailsSophisticated - Probably the best vibe in Omaha. It truly is an NYC or Chicago cocktail bar transported to Omaha. The table finishes, the mixologist, the menu, and the awesome tree in the middle of the bar give you an upscale, unmatched vibe in Omaha. Date Spot - This is an ideal date spot. It is a great place to start your night, end your night, or impress someone with an upscale first date with drinks. Mocktails - The menu has two mocktails - both are really good. Their additive flavor ranges, including blackberry, blueberry, and pineapple, make them special. Pro tip - They definitely screen the clientele. I've been three times, and the service was dependent on the fashion/dress of the group. WE GOT GREAT SERVICE when I was with a group dressed to impress. When I came over after a round of golf with a group in shorts and polos, we got above-average service. When I went with my in-laws, and we were all in t-shirts, shorts, and hoodies, we were ignored. Therefore, make sure you look the part if you get drinks there."

Yia Yia's Pizza & Beer

★★★★☆ 3.5 (36)

"I mean, it's a hipster place with a bunch of hipsters on staff and a bunch of hipsters for customers so there's that to deal with. Just tell them about how you don't own a tv and you hate football and ... I don't know, organic food or something and you can fit right in if that's not your jam. They make really great pizza though, so just slap on your skinny Jeans and fake handle bar mustache and grit it out. I generally get the international and build my own slice, Italian sausage, jalapenos, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese and onions, but I don't know, you do you, there's lots of good stuff on the menu."

The Dock Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (27)

"Actually a good burger!This review is based on food, service, cleanliness, atmosphere, and value. The burger and fry was good. Service was good. The cleanliness could have been better. The atmosphere was just an old bar. The kind of bar where a little light stabbing might happen (maybe not). The value wasn't terrible. They claim to get their meat fresh from the butcher next door. Kudos for that!My biggest beef (ha!) was the poison being sprayed around the dining room while I was eating. Who allows pest control to spray inside during lunch rush!?! Literally feet from my burger. That was enough to prevent me from returning."

Filipino Fusion Restaurant And Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (23)

"A small place that is part coffee bar, and part restaurant, not the biggest place but we had a group of 15 and they made it work for us. I really enjoy their lumpia and Adobo. Give it a try!"

Bomb Taco

★★★★☆ 4.2 (9)

"Overall, I was really pleased with the quality of the food here. They had several options for kids meals, which makes this a great place for families. Friday they have a happy hour that goes until 6 PM, which gives you $2 street tacos, and deals on margaritas and beer. I tried most of the street tacos...some of them were good and a couple of them were great. I was pleasantly surprised by the chorizo taco. I have had several disappointing ones in the past, but this had a nice spice level, it wasn't too dried out because the meat is ground up, it wasn't greasy...it was fantastic. I was also pleasantly surprised by the Carnitas. This is another one of the street tacos that typically gets dried out or bland. But not the case at bomb taco! Succulent meat and nicely flavored. The tacos were served with plenty of fresh limes, and they didn't scrimp on the fillings. The small corn tortillas were filled up, nearly completely.The main drawback was that they were understaffed. I felt bad for the gal who was working behind the register. She was the only one to handle taking orders, bringing food out from the window, and cleaning the entire dining room. She was a busy gal with a smile on her face so props to her. But it did make the wait longer for everyone involved."
