    This is my 3rd time here, and it never disappoints. The drinks and food are delicious. Not pictured, but I highly recommend the burgers and pizza, too. The fish and chips were the best I've had in a long time. Come hungry because the portions are huge.

    Shout out to Ryan our wonderful server!! He was on point with EVERYTHING! Happy to have stopped by. We are scootin’ our way to the East Coast! I got an impossible burger on vegan bread with a sour to drink! My food was cooked to perfection, shout-out to the chef! The others enjoyed their thin crust pizza and pot roasts as well! For desert, we tried their root beer floats! Top notch! 10 out of 10, would HIGHLY recommend! The atmosphere was quite lovely. Lots of smiling faces from both staff and patrons. The downtown area seemed to be busy for a Sunday night too! Again! Happy to have stopped. Ask for Ryan if you make a visit. He is a stellar man and is super good at what he does!

    Enjoyed the food, beers and the overall experience. Wish they had more gluten free options for food though as hot dog without the bun is just sausage 🌭😐 Super friendly staff and incredible location so would definitely recommend!

    Highly do not recommend. The food came out Luke warm basically cold . I had the jambalaya. The chicken had no flavor. My Bestfriend ordered the pot roast and her MEAT WAS COLD . A another guest on the patio had an aggressive dog that barked and growled at everyone walking by . Was scared for anyone who came close . This was my first and last time .

    A great spot for food and beer. I had the blond they sell and the ribeye with chow-chow. It was all excellent. Also, the staff was great with our large group and we all got seated quickly. It’s a well decorated building and it’s in a very nice part of Omaha. A definite place to visit.

    The outside seating was lovely and we loved taking in more of Old Market and the street performers this way First thing I noticed was that prices went up since the last review I saw with a menu posted Secondly, I ordered a medium steak and received a steak that looked to be cooked on the verge of well done, which was a bummer considering the price we paid for it. My husband and I agreed the mashed potatoes, asparagus, and Mac and cheese all had a distinct sweet undertone to the flavor… so just a heads up! Even though we were sitting outside, the baseball game was being played on speakers quite loud, which wasn’t the ambiance we were going for, we would have rather listened to the saxophone player a block down Our server was friendly which was a plus!

    This was my first time back here in a year or two and this place has never disappointed me. Service and food comes out quick no the time or day. I came in on a pretty packed Sunday evening sat at the bar and was served right away and the food came out like it was waiting for me when I walked in. It was $25 for this roast beef and a lemonade. Food was quick and delicious as ever. 10/10 cannot wait to come back next time I'm in town!

    Such a fun place. Atmosphere was cozy and laid back. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly and offered suggestions based on our tastes. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection and the drinks were superb! I ordered the Tropical Obsession Seltzer and it was so good, I ordered one to go. Will eat here again.

    We stopped at a couple places before arriving at Upstream and it was a wonderful surprise. The artichoke app with their beer bread is bomb. I had the Nebraska burger which was perfectly cooked and clearly came out immediately. My wife had the beet and orange salad and was also very pleased. Beer was great as well. We will definitely be back.

    Great place!! We got Sunday brunch and everything was delicious! We ate at the buffet. They had fresh fruit, eggs, an omelet bar, bacon, sausage, French toast, waffles, chicken Parmesan, a type of fish, and cinnamon rolls. We ordered the michelada and it was really good too!

    We were greeted and seated pretty dang fast and with such kindness. The drinks were stong and delicious. The pasta was cooked to perfection. The burger was drowning in toppings (in the best possible way). And the dessert was like a dream. Seriously, the food and the service cannot be beat. We ate on the patio because the weather was perfect for it and Sam was our waitress and she was a delight! Hubby had an IPA and said it was one of the best he'd had in a while.

    Our favorite place to eat dinner in Omaha! The pot roast and beef stroganoff are incredible! If you’re looking for a great meal and wonderful atmosphere this is the place.

    Upstream is one of the best brunch spots in Omaha! They offer buffet-style selections, but the food is great and the service was fantastic the last time I was here. The beverage selection was great too, they have a lot of options to choose from.

    Cane here for dinner before a show at The Orpheum. Great choice! We were greeted immediately and seated right away. Our server, Presley, was outstanding! Very pleasant, friendly, and enthusiastic. Definitely set the right mood for the evening. Everything we ordered was delicious, served at the correct temperature, and the presentation was nice. The couple of drinks we ordered were outstanding. Great place with a varied menu, good selection of craft beers, and friendly staff!

    I had a delayed flight home and figured I would eat and spend some time here rather than at the airport. Rich was my server and he was great! He picked 4 options for my beer flight and they were all fantastic. Since I was sort of in a hurry, I ordered the thai chili buffalo wings for my meal. Admittedly, they were not very good. The wings were not very crispy and the sauce was a little too sweet for me. The beer definitely made up for it, though, so I was not too disappointed. I had never been in a brewery before that had a homey, living room-like feel. Most of them tend towards industrial or modern. It was definitely a fun experience and I would return here in the future.

    I came here with my cousin and her husband for a little get together and had a great experience. Our server was Miss Emma B. and she was great. Super friendly and all around just an awesome waitress. She was attentive to our table even with it being extremely busy and also had some fun with the table near the end of the meal. I'm only in Omaha for a few weeks and it's great to have good experiences like this. If I go back I would be thrilled to have her as our waitress again! She is great.

    Had JD as a waiter. He was phenomenal, gave us good tips on the area as we are from out of town. And gave good recommendations for what I should order as a "Omaha staple". 8oz filet minion medium rare. THE BEST STEAK IVE EVER EATEN! Hands down. I've had my share of steaks. And this one killed em all. It was cooked perfectly, went down like butter. Sooo smooth and tender. JD presented it well and was a great server, our drinks never sat empty and our satisfaction was number 1! The asparagus side and potatoes were top notch as well. If in omaha. Stop here for the filet. You will not be disappointed.

    Idk if its the paint or what but the table was VERY sticky. The drink menu looked like it had been dunked in the sink and dried. we had planned to stop here for a quick drink before eating elsewhere but they were too slow. it must have been 20-25 minutes before we received any drinks so we ended up staying. i got the wrong drink and half the table didnt have water by the end of the meal. the salmon dish was better than expected. I thought it would be basic but the variety of flavors worked really well. the food and beers were good so overall 4 stars!

    We had a large party in town and was able to get a table last minute. We had to set separately but in the same area. The waitress was great and food came out super quick.

    We’ve gone for drinks a few times. They have fun rotating seasonal beers, plus other drinks for non-beer drinkers. We tried their food last time and it was phenomenal. Every dish we tried was excellent. The staff are nice. The atmosphere is lively on the weekends, without being overcrowded or too loud.

    We had a Mexican-food rehearsal dinner in their basement and had a great time! The service was amazing and the food was delicious. Coordinating with Maria was easy and accommodating. The whole service team the day-of helped set up our event with florals we brought in. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Matthew O. 8 months ago on Google
    I am sad to say this was only my first experience here. My family was eating at a nearby restaurant and the food there, and the service, was less than favorable. I ordered take out from Upstream and it was ready within 15 minutes. I walked in, was promptly greeted, and my food was hot and ready. The staff was pleasant, they had included condiments, cutlery and napkins and made sure there wasn’t anything else I needed. The food was amazing! I ordered the black and blue burger and fries and I couldn’t finish it! It was the best food I have had in the Old Market in YEARS. It will definitely be my family’s new regular spot.

  • 4/5 Gabby L. 2 years ago on Google
    Waking in, the hostess was incredibly friendly and great music, all around. Service with Jil, was amazing. She was super friendly, warm smile and very helpful with all local beer information. I had the Grilled chicken sandwich Nebraska flavor (Cajun spice). Great flavors. Perfect crunch but very greasy—grease went through bread. Not affecting my rating at all. The survice alone will make me want to come back. When I do, I’ll get a different dish. And a win for having extremely clean bathrooms!

  • 5/5 Rebecca L. 10 months ago on Google
    Great drinks. Loved the Strawberry Basil Seltzer and the Firehouse Red! Yummy food. Enjoyed the fish and chips and the pork schnitzel. Easily accommodated my kids and had a great selection for the kids menu beyond the basic chicken tenders and grilled cheese. Will return next time we’re in Omaha!

  • 2/5 L. N. 8 months ago on Google
    I tried their wings and the Nebraska burger. The wings were very good. The burger was nothing special. The waiter was in a hurry and very short and curt. He didn't bother answering any questions about the menu. When I asked which burger is the most popular or he'd recommend, he coldly said "they are all the same." I certainly wasn't impressed with the attitude of the employees in this place. Overall, the experience was nothing impressive and I don't recommend it.

  • 4/5 Aria J. 11 months ago on Google
    Has there cheese curds, Gouda and beer soup and pot roast. The cheese curds are chewy, the soup thick (although not a fan of the beer bread) and the pot roast very tender. Food is generally pretty good and service is fast. Make your reservation if you come during busy times (such as BK annual meeting) or wait time could be half an hour (during which you can explore the area since there are a lot to see). Knocking off one star bcs the service over phone is bad. Called to ask if they had nonalcoholic beer options and the person just said he was busy and hung up. The answer is - they have basic nonalcoholic options from big brands like Heineken. The house made root beer we got felt fresher than others.

  • 5/5 Richie R. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has a rustic feel, with good music and great service. The pizza crust is fresh made in a in-house bakery, and is excellent with a thin crisp crust with no flop. Really enjoyed it. The beer menu is fresh with a lot of choices. We had the Flagship IPA and the Uptober both excellent.

    Beautiful restaurant! Dined on the 2nd floor. The service was great. The food was so delicious!! We ordered the Tortellini & shrimp and the Blackened burger, which came with absolutely delicious mashed potatoes and outstanding gravy. Mmmm, so good!!

    We went to a different brewery first, and were unimpressed so we came here. The beer and cocktails at Upstream are good. The food was good (good fish and chips good pot roast). The staff was friendly
