    The Good Life OG location is a staple sports bar in West Omaha. Its exactly what you'd expect from a local chain sports bar. They have your typical pub fare with a younger staff. The food and drinks are slightly overpriced for their quality, but you always go back because it's "where everyone goes" to watch sporting events and with its great location its generally a favorite.

    Man I really really wanted to like this place. I can’t say I’m impressed very much by their food. I haven’t had the pizza or burgers but I’ve had about 5 or 6 of their other items including wings. It’s also quite frustrating to call for carry out orders because they can almost never hear you. I get it, it’s a sports bar. But they should have a place they can step away for a minute to take an order. Lots of bland food here, but you can tell they’re trying. One order was completely messed up. It’s like the kitchen didn’t even read the order ticket. They were very apologetic and made the entire order again and got it right. I may come back for the pizza, but if that’s not good, I’m afraid I won’t ever be back.

    It just a casual day at “The Good Life” ordering drinks, when all of a sudden Carson’s stinky breath hit my nostrils. I was trying to enjoy my Saturday night and my server was in my face smelling worse than my ex gfs no no square after not showering for 2 weeks at a rave… get this man a toothbrush please

    Hands down the best boneless wings and services I've ever had

    Got the Nebraska nachos and I knew something was messed up from the start. Ended up puking the nachos up about 4 hours later. Nice place, kind of hectic, would avoid the nachos at all costs.

    Let me start by saying we are regulars here. The beer is served cold and the food is good. Or should I say…was good. 1 star rating is for the cold beer. We ordered six wings-good life style-double dipped and 10” GL pizza to share. I don’t know what’s happened to their wings, but the last few times we’ve had them they’ve tasted like they were recooked. You know that dry rubbery chicken most chain restaurants serve that have refrigerator taste. I couldn’t even eat them. It’s so unfortunate because we used to LOVE the wings here. Did the pizza crust change too? I don’t remember it being so doughy. I ate one piece and then tried to just eat the toppings of another and couldn’t. That yuck slime you get when dough isn’t fully cooked ruined the toppings too. I gagged. Now, the beer was COLD and GOOD but we left saying we needed to find a new place when we want food too. When you leave 4 out of the 6 wings and 6 out of the 8 slices of pizza….that’s a waste of money. Also….please please please take out the tacky fake flowers in your patio planters. They’re just awful.

    Great atmosphere, great wings! Get the pizza oven charred on your wings.... AMAZING! But, staff a little young and inexperienced. Need a veteran to show them the ropes. Engagement is the key with any bar. Need staff that engages to promote more sales. The staff is polite, but bar awareness needs improvement. 2 stars is to low for this establishment. 4 to high based on my experience of engagement. Potentially I can see this bar being a 5 star establishment. This is the #1 voted sports bar in Omaha, but I believe that's more location than experience. 3 stars respectfully. Ciao

    My family and friends threw me a birthday party last night in the lounge and it was fantastic! Jasmine took care of us all night and she was amazing. There were 2 other bartenders there and I don't know their names but they were great also. As always, the food was very good too. I highly recommend having a party there!

  • 5/5 Kawaii P. 1 year ago on Google
    Their waffle fries and cheese curd appetizers are AMAZING. Honestly, I just come for the appetizers. A bit pricy but so worth it.

  • 4/5 Scot E. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice atmosphere. Andy the bartender was very friendly and accommodating. Had a pizza and a glass of beer. Both were awesome.

    From the moment we walked in the door we were ignored. I asked a waitress if we just sit anywhere and she stared through me like I just asked her to solve world hunger. As we took a random seat that we were even unsure of because no one said anything. We sat there and were IGNORED. No one gave us menus, asked for a drink, or even acknowledged us. After sitting for over 30 minutes without any help we got up and left. Every table around us was being served except ours.Horrible experience and some of the worst customer service in all of Omaha.

  • 3/5 Megan P. 1 year ago on Google
    Couple of things.....first FOOD was FAB....when I finally got it. The manager she was super stressed and relayed that onto the customer. I literally sat for 30 minutes before I got drink that ended up to be the wrong thing, and then it was like my fault that.... (1) the waitress had a breakdown <then management should have stepped into help her & customer should never have to experience that ever when visiting a place>, (2) the communication should have been better once this happened, so therefore the customer knew what to expect <we were eating there before a movie>, (3) once I did talk to the management she literally was super confrontational <I really wanted to know what it would take for me to help get myself and my husband our drinks, that way I did not order and then someone made them and then now the bar would have to waste alcohol=money>. Once I did get the food, and have the conversation or confrontation with the management(confrontation) & waitress(conversation) (which we feel that her work environment possible the management was bullying her & in return she broke down)....but once I got the food --- it was great. I had Nebraska Nachos and my husband had Steak Salad w/fried on top and melted cheese...and it was great. The staff literally is not doing their job, and the bussers 4 of them were wiping off the same table. The waitresses do not have to even bus their own tables and they were literally disappearing off the floor. The waitresses as my husband and I looked around we gone off the floor for sometimes 10-15 minutes NOONE ON THE FLOOR AT ALL. 7/10 people had empty cups and dirty dishes on their table. I would recommend to order in and carry out--- if they have that option and sit in the parking lot and eat instead of eating in. I have been in the restaurant industry my whole life. I have worked in it myself and my mother was one of the best waitresses a place could have....and this was simply just unbearable. I appreciate the attempt to after the whole deal...that the waitress said "hey I had a breakdown and....!" I probably will not go back...to dine in. Thank you --- I was really excited about this place to open; and really let down honestly.

    Friday Lunch specials, chicken fried chicken & nebraska nachos were very good. Busch light beer special was expensive compared to most bar/grill prices.

  • 5/5 Avinash 2 years ago on Google
    Prefer to dine at outside table. It’s lively. Overall good experience at this bar. Only thing was food serving is a bit late. I assume that is probably because of less staff on weekends.

  • 5/5 Downey F. 3 years ago on Google
    Sucks...haha, kidding. Great food & people.

  • 5/5 Tyler O. 3 years ago on Google

    We visited on a beautiful Friday evening in July and sat with about 5 friends on the patio. Our server was friendly but visited rarely. I ordered a GL Lemonade, a signature cocktail, it was not good. Maybe there was a left out ingredient? A couple of other people tried it and agreed. However, since we didn't see our server for quite awhile, I didn't get a chance to get something else. We did try the Volcano Tots and they were pretty good.

    My son purchased a chicken sandwich for me via take out and when eating it I discovered something in it which clearly should not have been there! I immediately wanted to vomit and of course it destroyed the meal! The next day my son and I returned to the restaurant to speak to a manager named Jen, who was indignant, and never even offered an apology! She was completely ambivalent to the situation and even suggested that the item, a piece of wire or something could easily have been there. She was intent on arguing the point, and suggested that a 'pick' was in my sandwich, which was not true. How strange as a paying customer to be exposed to such a manager! Her indignant continued and i finally indicated that I was leaving. With great reluctance she issued a credit for the sandwich! BUYER BEWARE!!! There are many great restaurants in Omaha where one is treated well; accordingly, do not waste your time here!

    Know that this place hates Veterans, especially the manager, Brooke as well as several other employees. A couple of us decided to get together at The Good Life to watch the Army Navy football game. We got there early to watch the Creighton basketball game first. The service was really bad throughout our stay but we were enjoying our camaraderie so it wasn't worth leaving over. We had to ask that the Army Navy game be put on one of the 30 TVs, which they eventually accommodated but halfway through the 4th quarter they turned every TV to Nebraska women's volleyball. When that happened I yelled "Hey", which apparently triggered an overly sensitive anti-American employee who I hadn't seen a single time in the previous 4 hours of sitting in the same spot. This girl tried to make a big scene about how disrespectful I my comment of "hey" was and she proceeded to lecture me that nobody cared about the football game, everyone was here to watch volleyball. Note that my friend is wearing Army clothing and I'm wearing Navy. I was told that if I had been more respectful she would have put the game back on a TV but since I chose to yell she was going to get her manager. At that point Brooke came rushing to her defense. Another 20 something self-righteous hater determined to teach a couple of Veterans a lesson on what really matters around here. Her first question was why I had been yelling at her employee all afternoon. My fellow Veteran and I looked at each other in disbelief to which I said, "are you f'in kidding me?" at which point we were told to pay our tab and leave. I was given a bill for the full order, including that which we were not even allowed to consume. Two minutes later, an actual adult employee came over asking why we were still there, we were told to leave. Absolutely unbelievable. If you hate America and are looking for a woke safe space, The Good Life is for you.

    Sat in the newly converted lounge. Servers were definitely overwhelmed, not their fault. Food is normally great here, but was freezing cold by the time they remembered to bring us our order.

  • 4/5 Holly C. 3 months ago on Google New
    Stopped in for lunch while waiting for a shop down the way to open and the food was good, I mean it was normal bar food so good not bad. The place was pretty clean and the best part was the service we received. Jade helped us out today and she was very sweet and helpful, prompt and accurate. She was really great.

  • 2/5 James G. 7 months ago on Google
    Nothing really memorable here other than the inflated prices. Food was "okay", from the freezer aisle, stuff -- not really on the high side of quality even for bar food. Service was okay -- bar tender didn't tell us about happy hour or food and drink specials, we only learned about that from the server helping the table sitting behind us after we had already ordered.

  • 5/5 Bill W. 8 months ago on Google
    I tell u it just happens to b one of the best atmospheres around. U have every sports channel available on and a variety of music playing which is great. So many tastes of music which leads to the food. Terrific whether it's nachos burgers or whatever you want. Excellent choice anytime.

  • 5/5 Ben T. 8 months ago on Google
    Food was very good. Atmosphere was fun. Kitchen was busy, maybe took 30 minutes for food. Will go back again.

  • 4/5 K R. 8 months ago on Google
    The food was just as good as it is at 'The Creek' but was so much louder, and the loud lady at the table next to us made it worse. The lady that brought us our menus said a certain guy would be our server, but after he walked by us twice, she came back and took care of it. Which was good because she was amazing. The chicken nuggets (AKA: boneless wings) were really good.

  • 5/5 Amanda S. 1 year ago on Google
    A fun place to watch football, tons of tv's, and their boneless wings are amazing compared to most sports bars. Our server Bella was amazing!

  • 1/5 M L. 10 months ago on Google
    Horrible service! Amelia let us sit forever and waited to place our order after several other people that came in after us! Our waitress took care of everyone that came in after us before she came to take care of us! Everyone around us that came in and was waited on by other wait staff was eating and leaving before we placed our order and had our food!! We arrived around 5:30m and didn't get to pay and leave until 7:45pm!! There were only 2 of us!! Our bill was not compensated for our long wait or lack of attention during our time there. Our waitress only checked on us twice!! Horrible, horrible service ww will not be back and will definitely tell everyone we know not to visit this location!! The location on Elkhorn puts this one to shame!! We are in and out in Elkhorn and always taken care of greatly by the wait staff, heck even the manager has dropped by our table to see how we are doing! But not at this location, they let you sit forever and just look at you! Over 2 and a half hours for 2 people to be in a restaurant to get nachos and a salad is a bit ridiculous!!

    I after 3 bad experiences tried to contact good life but they don’t have any email listed on their webpage so going to write a review on every review website I can find. I would call yes but they are super busy right now. I didn’t get what I paid for yet again. I ordered 10 wings with 2 bbq and 4 ranches on the side, I only got 3 ranches, wings were ice cold and I watched them come out so make new wonder if they were just sitting in the back, also got a chicken sandwich with waffle fries and side of honey mustard, the fries were old and cold, plus we didn’t get the honey mustard, the chicken was way over fried as well. I think this along with a few other will not be going back to the good life. 3 strikes and your out type of thing.

  • 5/5 Botious1 10 months ago on Google
    Extremely impressed with the menu. It was my first time visiting yesterday, and then I returned today with my wife and son. Great food and service. The long island was a premix, but damn it was good. 10/10

  • 5/5 Michael S. 9 months ago on Google
    Great night, celebrating my best friend's BD. We got together with some great friends we haven't seen 4 awhile & got up on things. We even looked at an old yearbook from back in the mid-80s. The food was delicious. The staff was wonderful.

  • 5/5 Cat M. 1 year ago on Google
    We stopped in for brunch around 10 am and we were the only ones there. Service was fantastic, mimosas were good, food was hot and yummy. A creighton game started at 11 and the place was super busy by the time we left.

  • 5/5 Michael S. 9 months ago on Google
    In town working for the week couldn't decide where to eat and happened to be by this amazing establishment. From the great service to the amazing amazing food. We had a 4 top and all got different things and everyone of us enjoyed our meals! If im ever in the area again I will most definitely return.

  • 5/5 Aaron 1 year ago on Google
    This was my first time visiting this location. We got there in time for the happy hour drink specials. Our waitress was excellent and checked on us often. She was always hustling from table to table with a smile on her face. We stayed for an hour or so and the place completely filled up. Even when it was extremely busy the waitress were able to keep up. I think the key here is they appear to be fully staffed.

  • 1/5 Hailey H. 3 years ago on Google
    Sad, because I was so excited to try this place. Went to the lounge with my family in town from New York. The “manager” started an argument with a family member of mine out of no where after already being there for 2 hours. Granted, he smelled like booze and sat on his knees to speak to us at the table, so maybe the man was just too drunk. Regardless, I was embarrassed to have brought family there.

    Order the Bourbon Sriracha wings good life style. None better! Cocktails are hit and miss depending who is behind the bar. Overall good atmosphere

  • 1/5 Blake & Haley B. 3 years ago on Google
    No one follows the mask mandate. Staff has their masks either off or around their chin the entire time. Also 99% of guests walking in don’t wear a mask nor do they even have one. The Good Life on Pacific is the super spreader of west Omaha.

  • 5/5 Nancy T. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a great Tenderloin for lunch, great service, my Husband had the prime rib sandwich...said it was best ever

  • 3/5 Joanna B. 3 years ago on Google
    As someone who supported this business through the corona virus shut down with take out orders the lack of social distancing/ masks is appalling since they’ve reopened. The bar was so full i had to hunt someone down just to get my pick up order today. The staff is also not super friendly. The staff/ management have their masks on their chins a majority of the time. Not to mention the entire kitchen staff is elbow to elbow with no masks in site. The lack of responsibility is sad.

  • 5/5 Dane G. 3 years ago on Google
    Love taco Tuesday tacos and for only $1.50!!! Goodlife Nachos are amazing as well as the Philly and the wings. Always a good choice. Service is best around as well.

    This is by far my favorite location. Tess, Devin and Autumn are the best waitresses! Never have an empty drink and they are always super friendly.

    Thanks to Dan the GM over at Pacific location who reserved our table for our volleyball team on February 1st at the Maple location, went great! Thanks for going above an beyond! Actually going to call him tonight to reserve again next week.

  • 3/5 Tamara S. 3 years ago on Google
    We ate outside on the patio yesterday. The tenderloin and onion rigs were so delicious. I will say I was disappointed that some of the wait staff were wearing masks around their chin. I had to tell one of them to put it up over their nose and mouth when they came to our table.

  • 5/5 Jeff G. 3 years ago on Google
    As always great food and the server went above and beyond!

  • 2/5 Kat J. 3 years ago on Google
    I love this place however I was just asked to leave because I require a service animal due to my disability. Two waitresses wouldn’t serve us and asked us to leave because last week the health department said dogs aren’t allowed on the patio. I explained he was working and she said unless I can prove it I had to leave. I tried to explain the services he’s trained to perform but they didn’t care. Someone may need to explain to the staff ADA regulations. Q7. What questions can a covered entity's employees ask to determine if a dog is a service animal? A. In situations where it is not obvious that the dog is a service animal, staff may ask only two specific questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Staff are not allowed to request any documentation for the dog, require that the dog demonstrate its task, or inquire about the nature of the person's disability. Q8. Do service animals have to wear a vest or patch or special harness identifying them as service animals? A. No. The ADA does not require service animals to wear a vest, ID tag, or specific harness. 9:15 Update: I drove my service animal home and returned to support the artist playing tonight. I arrived back at 8:40 pm. It is 9:15 and the waitress still won’t serve us. She has served all the tables surrounding us but ours. I’ve been in some situations where staff just didn’t understand ADA regulations (I get it... it can get confusing) but this is the first time I’ve been actively discriminated against for having a disability. 9:30 Update: another customer noticed we had yet to be seen so when the server came to her table, the customer sent the server to check on us. The server said “do you need something?” And I responded: May we please have menus? She responded “what kind of menus do you want?” I said: dinner please. She rolled her eyes and I asked (politely). Have I upset you? And she responded. “I’m not the only server out here, do you want to talk to someone else? And I said “I suppose I’ll speak to the manager” The manager was up to date on ADA regulations and although he did not apologize for being sent home, he did say he will send another server over and educate the staff regarding the regulations Our new server Maddie is an absolute gem who is providing world class customer service. Thank you so much for treating me like a person.

  • 5/5 Cera A. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this place! It’s my late night go-to to get a drink and the nachos are delicious! Definitely prefer the lounge side which has a chill yet classy sports bar vibe and our regular server Arianna is the best! Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 David H. 3 years ago on Google

    Love coming here the service is amazing, the only thing I’m a little disappointed with the staff, one of your employees was super rude to myself and my guests..Making snarly, nasty comments, very unprofessional

  • 5/5 Summer R. 3 years ago on Google
    A very good place to go and watch a game or two. It is a bar that has a decent selection of food.

    Not a single worker wearing a mask correctly. If you aren't hygienic enough to avoid a plague, you aren't hygienic enough to cook my food...
