Village Bar

Clean good local dive bar. No food but popcorn. It's a 5 star dive bar. It's not applebees its local homey and clean

Small little dive bar. It's all regulars which is cool for them. Went and felt out of place. Small and hot as heck.

What a great little dive bar tucked away in tiny downtown Ralston. I stopped in on a Friday afternoon to wind down from the work week. While it was still plenty bright outside, you get sucked into the cave-like darkness of the Village Bar as soon as you walk in. A good sign? Yes, indeed.The place wasn't crowded, so I grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered an Octoberfest, which was on special for $2. Then the coolest thing happened. They don't have a traditional tap line here. Instead there's this beer device that I think they found in the future (see my pic). Essentially, they serve the tap beer in disposable plastic cups with a hole in the bottom held shut by a magnet. To fill your cup, the bartender simply plops the cup's hole over a little machine that fills 'er up from the bottom up. There is a little novelty the first time you see this in action, so enjoy it.While they have your typical selection of domestics here, the Village also touts some great craft beer, from seasonals to go-to IPAs. They even had Sam Adam's Rebel IPA in 16 oz. tall boys. Awesome! Not a bad selection of bourbons and ryes as well.The bathroom was small, dingy and, but the looks of it, should've been dirty. But actually it was quite clean. Plenty of tissue, soap and paper towels to keep you feeling fresh enough for another round or two.Another thing I loved about the Village Bar is the fact they have games. From a tabletop Pac-Man to a claw machine where you can fish out stuffed animals. It's a great place to go when you feel like an adult who wants to feel like a kid for a few minutes.

Great little bar in downtown Ralston. Attended a Yelp That Dive event. First time I had seen the "bottoms up" kegs in action. Maybe I'm easily entertained but each pour was fascinating. Also liked the rock-bottom Rolling Rock price.Friendly hostess. The College World Series game was just starting and it wasn't on any of the several TVs at the bar. I mentioned it to her and she immediately got out the channel changer and put every TV in the bar on the game. Some places you request something on TV and they act like they're doing you a favor when they finally get around to it.Although not part of the regular fare the buffet provided by Just Good Meat and Maria's was far tastier than the happy hour norm.

This bar is just pure fun! The bartender treats you like you matter 100%. The atmosphere is light, the drinks are heavy and the jams are clear. You won't have a bad time here, I promise!

One of the best dive bars in the Omaha, good drink selection, nice regulars, and friendly bartenders.

Great spot! I have been here when it was just me, when I had a friend, and when I had some friends. Everytime it has been fun! When the bar fills up, it is pretty lively.I usually stop in after a game of disc nearby, but the offer of free food and cheap beer was too good to pass up. Hanging out (overtaking) with a bunch of Yelpers was a great way for others to find this little gem.Skeeball and the DJ make the nights more fun than the days, but I liked it a lot.You can see a wide variety of people depending on your time of day here. Afternoons are pretty empty, but then around 4 you get some old timers. Later you start to see a younger crowd. It doesn't matter because they are all really chill.My favorite part is that this is one bar that I know plays Jeopardy! every day with the volume on. It is a great way to meet people and challenge yourself and your new friend sitting next to you. I like to bet a beer on the Double Jeopardy questions. I wish it was closer to home, but I have to settle for Rose and Crown to walk to.

Great dive bar! I have been here as an accidental find initially and pleasantly surprised with the variety of beers. Bartender was a wealth of local knowledge to share as I was new to Omaha at the time. I have since been back one time for s serious conversation over a beer and another time to unwind after a very long work day. Each visit the staff were friendly, welcoming and the perfect amount of attentiveness. Each time I was able to find a new beer to try. And better yet, each time my bday paid! Looking forward to my next visit here for a dark heavy brew on a cold snowy Sunday!

With as close as I live to Village Bar, it's a shame I waited this long to go there. It's very apparent this is a locals bar where everybody knows your name. With that being said, I could not have felt more welcome! I met a friend here for some drinks and we had a great time. Shannon the bartender was super friendly and quick to refill our drinks. It is a very small space but somehow it's just the right size. There was a jukebox to play music and ample TVs as well. They have a couple of dart boards too. Even with all this going on we were still able to carry on a conversation and not feel crowded. I do wish they would have more local craft beer on tap. They had the usual offerings, Summer Shandy (seasonal), Lagunitas IPA, a Porter (not in the summer, thanks), and Vanilla Bean Blonde (not a fan). I am sure most of the clientele here don't give a crap about craft beer so they cater to what they want. I get it. I would not hesitate to come back here again as everyone including the other customers were so nice! Come check it out! Cheers!

Absolutely one of my favorite bars! Awesome staff and great atmosphere, if you haven't been there...well shame on you...check it out!
