Starlite Lounge & Banquet Room

★★★★☆ 4.2 (101) • $$

"Love. Incredible. This place is all I could ever want. Fun drinks, incredible vibes, great servers. Love that you can get food from Buzzard Billy's. I could live there. It is so cozy I feel like I'm in my grandma's basement (in a good way if that makes sense). Such a special place I want to live there. I FORGOT TO MENTION THE Espresso Martinis!!! They are too good. Idk how they do it. Love."

Big Fred's Pizza Garden & Lounge

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (210) • $$

"We started out with a small side salad that is decent sized & their Italian dressing is home made - Yum! We ordered two individual pizzas. I got Phil's Special which is chicken, red onions, mushrooms, Mancini peppers, and light mozzarella. That is full of toppings & delicious.My uncle got the hamburger and mozzarella pizza. He really enjoyed its thin crust & covered in cheese. Our waitress was tentative & quick to serve. She stopped at our table several times to make sure we were doing OK! It was busy on a Tuesday night with groups of people celebrating birthdays all around us so the noise level was a bit loud but we didn't mind. They have a few TVs that had golf on. I really enjoyed dinner and plan to be back soon!"

Red Lion Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.3 (78) • $$

"I planned on eating at Stirnella next door for dinner, but they were releasing a new fall menu and wouldn't open until later than usual. Fortunately Red Lion Lounge was right around the corner, so I settled into one of the comfy stools at the bar and ordered a Black Manhattan. The bartender seemed a little standoffish until he saw my tattoos, which we got into a conversation about. That's usually a good icebreaker at bars.The cocktail was fantastic, and I love that every bartender here has some sort of seasonal special that they cross-promote for each other. There seemed to be an equal amount of locals and first timers. Great spot for groups. Would love to come back and try more of the drinks. Oh and there seems to be happy hour! Overall cool loungey spot with fascinating artwork and old-timey movies on the screen."

Paolucci Restaurant & Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.9 (56) • $$

"Holy moly! This is honestly some of the best Italian food I've ever had, and I travel extensively... I'm shocked how good this place is. Try the meatballs, the garlic oil dip, the fresh bread. WOW!"

The Waterfall Grill and Lounge

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (28) • $$

"Sad! Sarpy county dive bar.Mediocre appetizers that were quite bland. No soundproofing in the ceiling so the sound bounces off of the floor.Bar mostly has the beers of the foreign-owned Anhueser-Busch. The saddest aspect is the theme: Waterfalls.Patrons are subjected to a waterfall that you could buy at the NFM. And then pictures of real waterfalls from around the world are in the menu. No picture of Smith Falls in Nebraska. Why? We can admire a Husker football on the wall but nothing of our natural Husker heritage.Addendum. For some inexplicable reason a wedding party stopped here. One bridesmaid was falling out of her top so that was somewhat amusing. At least no visible tats with this crew so not completely clueless. Maybe the purpose of the visit was a vicarious trip to Niagara Falls."

The Cove Lounge and Grille

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (33) • $

"I read the reviews about white people at the cove and laughed so I decided to check it out for myself. I counted at least 5 minorities that I could visibly tell. Possibly 2 more for a possible total of 8 (because of yours truly); there was about 40 people here so that's almost 1/4. That's pretty good for a bar that's located west of 90th St in Omaha. The song playing when I walked in was Big Sean "I don't f@&k with you". If it was a country song, I would've considered leaving before really coming in. Beer selection was decent, as was the liquor. I asked for crown and they had plenty of it (Apple, peach, maple and reserve) so that's a big + in my book. There wasn't any PBR on tap, another plus. I ordered some chili cheese tots and asked for fries instead. They obliged and they were great! I always like checking out the bathrooms cause when you gotta drop a bomb, it's nice to know if it's safe. These were good bathrooms, a bit dark, but maybe it's better that way so people can't identify who left the nasty smell. My one complaint is the toilet paper. I like mine softer. It's a sports bar, so college football games are on and there's darts, golden tee, pool and shuffleboard (which a white person did teach me to play). Wait, another minority walked in, I feel good about this place"

Old Mill Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.9 (13) • $$

"Dark, divey, and a bit mysterious, the Old Mill Lounge is tucked away next to Cunningham's and New York Burrito. You know, the strip mall in the shadow of TD Ameritrade HQ.We stopped by for a couple drinks and some Funyuns on a Saturday night. The place was not busy. There were a few regulars at the bar drifting outside on occasion to smoke. The rest of the bar had younger couples quietly talking to each other at the various tables. The bartender was super nice and even offered table service. Drag racing was on the the big screen.A glass of wine and an Lagunitas draught was about $10. There's also a kitchen that serves up typical bar food, but it had closed down by 10pm.There's a review that says this bar feels like a basement from the '70s. Pretty accurate, although I'd add that it's feels like a basement that hasn't been remodeled since the '70s. I dug it. I'd go back."
