I recently celebrated a surprise birthday party at Upstream Brewing, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. We had a group of 20 people, and the staff accommodated us beautifully--everything ran smoothly, from the seating arrangements to the timing of the food.I ordered the Nebraska Pub Burger, and it was excellent! The patty was juicy, the toppings were fresh, and the beer cheese added a great kick. Pairing it with one of their IPA beers was the perfect choice--the hoppy flavor balanced out the richness of the burger. Several others in our group tried a variety of dishes, and everyone raved about how delicious everything was.One unexpected highlight was the magician who stopped by our table for a quick 5-minute show. It was such a fun and unique touch--everyone was entertained, and it really made the evening feel special.The service was attentive, the food came out hot, and the atmosphere was lively without being too loud. If you're looking for a place to host a gathering or just enjoy great food and beer, Upstream Brewing is an awesome choice. Highly recommend!

This is a great location in the Old Market. Spacious, and open late. I've always had great service here.Unfortunately I've never been really impressed with the actual food. My daughter ordered the pork schnitzel. It looked great but, wow, how the unseasoned potato cubes could in any way be referred to as "German potato salad" is beyond me. And the bland red cabbage was super disappointing too, and what's with the mayonnaise drizzled on the schnitzel? Everything was strange and nothing about it was good. I got the tomato basil soup. It could easily work as a pasta sauce. That is not a compliment.I do like to stop in here from time to time to pick up a "bread" from the shelves by the door. They are actually more like cakes lol, and can be pretty delicious. Oh, I do want to clarify that I BUY this and don't just grab it and walk out since it kind of sounded like that.They have some good Happy Hour deals that I should remember to explore more. And I want to come sometime to see the magician.The building is fantastic, as it was the Firehouse dinner theater and prior to that it was an actual firehouse.It's really cool to see the huge brewing equipment in there. I was not a huge fan of beer there but I LOVE their root beer and get that every time.This is a nice place for groups and I will definitely bring my English relatives here next time they are in town.

I always hesitate to leave a negative review, but I have been here about five times in as many years, and have never enjoyed the food here. I've gotten a different item each time, pizza, salad, entrée, etc. and it just never hits right. This time, I got the Romain Caesar steak salad, the salad itself was good, but the tomatoes were huge, and the steak was incredibly tough to cut let alone chew. It was not served with a steak knife, and I asked for one (and got it quickly), but it hardly made the task any easier. We also got the shrimp appetizer dish which sounded more like a scampi on the menu. the sauce did taste good, but was very oily and it separated during the time we ate it. The focaccia bread was very disappointing. :( I love this type of bread, but this one was very dense and lacked flavor.I do want to be clear that I have heard others having great experiences here food-wise which normally include getting the fish and chips. One person at our table got this and loved it--this was the only glowing review I heard at our 18 person party, so if you're coming in for any reason, please get the fish and chips!Our table of 18 did have great service, and a good spot to sit for a large party. I have never had any issue with service or ambiance here, it is only the food that is lacking.

Great location in the old market plenty of room for big parties. Our server was new, but she was very attentive.I ordered the salmon patty lunch special with brussels sprouts. I don't believe it was homemade. It was decent, but I would try something different next time.

Enjoyed the atmosphere, quick service and great menu selection. Decided to split everything and glad we did. Best side Caesar salad - creamy delicious dressing. The 12 oz perfectly cooked filet with green beans and mashed potatoes. All perfectly prepared and the sauces were delicious. Ended with the s'mores cheesecake and could not be more happier with our choice.

Based on previous reviews, I was not expecting to enjoy this place as much as I did. We sat upstairs and the bartender was super helpful, recommending beers and giving us tastes. The Beer: I had pale ale and it was delicious, very hop forward, but also refreshing. Then I had the bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout. So good! However, it was a 12 ounce pour and that was too much for me at a high ABV. My husband had the IPA, which he liked, but I wasn't a fan. Then he had Tequila Berliner. He liked that too. It's a little sour for me, kind of tasted like lemonade with tequila.The Food: we only ordered an appetizer- the humus. It was so good! It came with 3 kinds, red pepper, traditional and pesto. Kalamata olives, flat bread and greens with feta cheese. It just all went so well together.Highly recommend!

There aren't very restaurants that you can get a reservation for 7 people in such short notice other than Upsteam brewery. My boyfriend and I opted to share the Blonde pizza and treat ourselves to a dessert since neither of us were very hungry. The pizza, though relatively small and thin, was tasty. I couldn't resist sampling a variety of fries from others at the table, including the sweet potato waffle fries and classic french fries. Both were a hit, maintaining their deliciousness even after cooling down. For dessert, I chose the lemon tart, featuring an almond crust, luscious lemon curd, whipped cream, and fresh berries. While the lemon curd was delightful, the almond crust, unfortunately, fell short with an excessive lard presence, giving it an unexpected hint of duck flavor.

I'm not much into beer, but my buddy is and wanted to visit.He enjoyed a couple of brews.The place was busy midweek at 8 pm. The food was decent, and the service average, but beer was good. That's why you go to a brewery, right?

This was a great stop off while exploring the Old Market area of Downtown Omaha. We stopped in for a few appetizers and drinks. The staff was very friendly and attentive to our table. The restaurant is an old firehouse and yet truly feels like a modern brewery. The place is very welcoming and a great place for a meal or a few appetizers.
