Eleven Eleven

Tired of being completely ignored every time we go in there. Bartenders rather tell stories with the regulars than acknowledge customers. Well I hope they pay the bills as we will not be returning. We had a bottle of wine and ready to go as well as a martini to be ordered. Waited and was ignored. Good thing that there are better wines and better drinks than Eleven Eleven in the Benson area.

I can't believe I didn't know about this place! I love a good wine bar. To start, the charcuterie board was phenomenal. Service was friendly and helpful. I loved the wine I got. It's Such a good selection I'll have to go back. Also, it's super fun that they have some awesome artwork they debut on the walls.

Went with some friends on a Thursday night and really enjoyed it. They had a free wine tasting with generous pours, too. Just our luck! The inside has interesting photos on the wall, but I liked the cozy interior and friendly crowd. One couple even had their baby in there. It is so laid back that the sweet lil babe just napped on and off. The staff was friendly and water was offered at the corner of the bar. All in all, good experience.

What an awesome bar in Benson. I don't even know how to explain the décor so I included a photo and you can decide for yourself. There is a lot going on, but somehow it all works. We stopped in on a Thursday around 6pm and it was pretty quiet...in fact no music was playing and I always find that to be awkward. Thankfully, that was remedied quickly and we were able to enjoy our very strong Old Fashioneds. The seating we selected was very comfortable. You can choose a spot in a cozy nook, place a group on some of their couches or sit up front and watch the Benson activity via floor to ceiling windows.

I was excited to try this place with my wife, decided to visit on a Friday night. Sat at the bar for a glass of wine (originally planned for more, but ended up just having a glass).It's very nice inside, I would call it classy eccentric. It is well done and tasteful, but is also a bit quirky at the same time. Very nice bar with seats, some tables, and lots of big comfy chairs. The bartended was quite and didn't really engage us or offer up much advice. Everyone also seemed to be "members" inside, which made the place seem a bit stuffy.I would consider going back for another try, but wouldn't go out of my way. If you're a wine-o, maybe you'll love this type of place...if you're a casual wine drinker, there's plenty of other bars with a few wines to choose from that are much more inviting and fun.

A nice quiet little wine bar in benson! if you're looking for a place to hang out and actually hear the person you're with this is the spot. the bartenders are so nice and knowledgeable and the drinks are good!

Very relaxing place to unwind / meet with friends. They are one of two places that sell the rose I love! Great place in the benson area!

My husband and I moved to Omaha from Washington D.C. a couple of years ago when stationed at Offutt. We stumbled upon Eleven Eleven doing a quick Google search, and it was the best find of our time in Nebraska. If you become a member (which you should), you can attend a complimentary wine tasting every Wednesday evening. Not only is membership cheaper than anywhere in D.C., but it seems to be on the lower end for Omaha as well, and complimentary wine tastings are a sweet deal.This gem has a moody, 1970's inspired lounge with chesterfield couches and mid-century oil rain lamps. The interior is excellent, but the wine selection is better. Wines are chosen from all over, from well-known locations to countries I didn't even know produce wine. The flavor profiles of each pick are fascinating, and honestly, combinations I have never had before. The owner is profoundly knowledgeable and has a remarkable memory and talent for selecting unique wines.Bottom line, come to this wine bar. We recently moved back to D.C. and truly miss this place. Eleven Eleven is the most authentic and knowledgeable wine bar without being too expensive or pretentious. A true Omaha gem.

Quite a nice winery with a very relaxed atmosphere. Perfect to taste good wine and have a deep conversation with your best friends.

I wanted to love this place because it has wine tastings on Wednesday evenings and is very close to my home. A friend of mine invited me to the tasting, which was rushed (because they do 3 tastings, 1 hour apart and you have to leave the tasting seats right away to make room for the next people). The person telling us about the wines, I think was the owner, became short and sarcastic when questions were asked about the wines. I asked what he could tell me about a specific wine, and he told me that it was a Blaufrankish and walked off (I can read.....but have never had that wine before). I came back a second time a few weeks later with my friend for a second chance and the tasting was less rushed and the owner was friendlier. We opted to stay and grab a bottle of wine and some food after the tasting and some friends stopped in later. When it got closer to closing time (30 minutes) the bartender started telling us to hurry up and that we needed to leave. He seemed upset by our conversation (we were discussing the supreme court nomination....so, yeah there was a little politics in it.) and he actually came and told us to get the F**K Out - 20 minutes before they were scheduled to close.I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!!
