    I’m new to Omaha and don’t go out much. But if I did this would be the place I made my home!! I have been here twice and the second time the bartender remembered exactly what I ordered the last time. The staff is truly kind and amazing. The crowd is equally as welcoming. I take my son for open mic night and everyone is so amazing and supportive. It’s such a positive and uplifting atmosphere. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place, service is five star, so is the crowd and overall atmosphere. Thanks guys!!

    Great open mic and music venue. Do yourself a solid and get Hippy Happy Hour on Wednesday 4:20-7:10. Brandon Webb is in the stage and Carrie Jean is behind the bar.

    A charming little local bar. The bartenders are fun and the drinks are cheap. Like a nerdy Cheers.

    A pretty laid back, chill bar. It's a nice place to go if you are interested in listening to some good live music and having some drinks with friends. They have a decent selection of bourbon as well.

    Darts, music, karaoke on certain nights. Its a cool spot, but more often than not its kinda off putting by the patrons. Never seems like I can talk to anyone, just the ones I know.

    Love love love all the local art, artists and events! The patio is really nice; plenty of privacy and lots of seating options. There's always something going on and everyone feels so great to be around! If anyone is being creepy or getting violent the staff will make them leave. They do a LOT to support the local community, from service industry discounts to providing a stage for performing. I love this lounge!

    The place was pretty cool the bar tender didn’t charge for soda so I had her run my card for 20 bucks to give 10 to the bartender and 10 to the bar back but I ordered my Lyft at 130 and the female bartender was going to let me wait inside till the driver arrived but it was at 209 that a Lyft driver still wasn’t assigned but two gentlemen who work there but weren’t working that night just hanging out decided to make me wait out in the freezing cold while they and a regular or two stayed nice and warm listening to music hanging out sure they wanted to close up and go home I completely understand but I wasn’t hindering they’re progress I was just sitting in the corner I had to wait out in the Christmas kid for at least a half hour while they stayed warm I’m never going back there

    My experience at this bar has been great until a staff member named Brandon M. Prince aggressively grabbed my drink out of my hand and threw it against the brick wall of the bar. he said “no drinks allowed outside the bar but you can go BUY another one” he said sooo smug. because I was outside of the bar with a drink. I understand now that no drink are allowed outside the bar and patio but there was a nicer was of kindly asking me to go back into the bar with my drink. Not only that, but I saw him & the security guard reminding other people (men) to go back inside with their drink. Why were those white gentlemen asked nicely to go back inside with their drink? But mine was throw against a wall. Very childish. I have witnesses. Please check this misogynistic narc.

    I've never had the food here, it's a cute lil, gay friendly neighborhood bar. Good fun. They have shows. Cute seating area out the side. Not a ton of parking but decent street parking nearby

  • 4/5 Joy Marie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun atmosphere and entertainment on open mic night. I was pleasantly surprised with the line up. Some poets, some comedians, some small bands and solo acts. Slightly hole in a wall place with an outdoor seated area and small arcade room. Negatives: limited seating and extremely warm when it's busy.

    The music was fun and lively! We just went to watch the drag show but found ourselves dancing along to the music they played. The bartender was also very fast and efficient.

  • 5/5 Sharon C. 2 years ago on Google
    The best bar! Love the atmosphere and the people there and the music. Live band karaoke was so gooooood.

  • 5/5 Joe J. 11 months ago on Google

  • 1/5 Darren S. 10 months ago on Google
    Lousy service no atmosphere and they didn't pay my friends band who are on tour from overseas whoever was in charge was highly abusive and aggressive towards them avoid this place at all cost

  • 1/5 Katie S. 11 months ago on Google
    People working the bar were VERY rude and lost our business. Wouldn't recommend this place! Only upside is the performers who come in on Weds nights to do open-mic night.

  • 4/5 Mr.d N. 1 year ago on Google
    GREAT VIBE. I wish they would offer reduced prices for designated drivers non-alcoholic beverages. There's soda prices are a little steep for what you received.

    Place has some serious mold problems. As someone who is allergic to it. It's quite potent The building needs to be cleaned for it.

  • 1/5 Marissa P. 11 months ago on Google
    Really rude bartenders to me and my friends. Super disappointed how mean and unwelcoming they were. Not a fun experience, wouldn’t recommend coming back unless Wednesday's which are open mic.

  • 5/5 Gerald G. 2 years ago on Google
    Very cool, calm and collective atmosphere. A nice place to relax after a long taxing day. Then the party begins.

  • 5/5 Todd G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great, intimate dive bar with terrific live music. Easy place to find interesting characters.

  • 5/5 xXGriffeyXx 1 year ago on Google
    This bar always has a very welcoming atmosphere and people that fill it up, a safe space for expression and to be yourself. Plus wonderful shows that get organized by community members who go there most lol.

  • 5/5 Shannon S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great music, atmosphere, and people. Can’t wait to visit again!

  • 5/5 jc R. 1 year ago on Google
    The bartender with the red hair was awesome! Fonzo was the name. Ill be going back for sure! Great place

  • 5/5 A P. 1 year ago on Google
    You have to go there to understand the environment and the people. It's not everyone's type of bar and that's why it's so wonderful.

  • 5/5 Acantha Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Really cool place to hang out for a drink. Bartenders are lovely, the fun nights they plan are really neat (trivia, karaoke, ect.) I will be going back often.

  • 5/5 Trash P. 1 year ago on Google
    Super fun, divey type of bar. Great shows. Fun art night! Bartenders are super friendly. Good location.

  • 3/5 Frankie M. 1 year ago on Google
    It's okay. The bartender is cool. Too small and cramped for my taste but if you go early when there's no one there and no live music it's fun and they show great movies on the TV's. The patio is also decent.

    Whenever I come back into Omaha to visit my family I make sure to stop by this place at least once or twice. At least once for the trivia nights their bartender Spencer runs each Tuesday. I’ve also gotten to hear quite a few bands play, including a couple extremely talented friends
