I came here for a Yelp Elite event. Outstanding service. Food is some of the best. Beer is unmatched and ice cold. Keith was top notch and professional. The staff works hard and very pleasant to talk to. Excellent drinks! The patio is beautiful. I'll be back here for sure!
The host and waiter were amazing! Food was good even tho it was not what I ordered. I asked for the Doner Kabob on fries no bread basically everything that's in the wrap just tossed on the fries. The waiter later comes with my food and tells me "the chef did not want to do what you asked for" very upsetting when I've ordered this way 3-4 times before.
This updated review is so overdo! We frequent Barchen anytime we're craving a spicy chicken sandwich and also loooove that their patio is dog friendly! Honestly one of the better patios in Omaha truthfully! The most recent time we went I actually branched out and got a burger and it was super good! Great beer selection and great menu options all around. I will note they used to have chicken sandwich called talk dirty to me I believe? I need that to come back. That sandwich with a side of their hot sauce was chefs kiss perfection! Miss it so much.
Returning to Barchen to check out the patio on a nice summer day, so thought I would post an update! The patio is super nice with many wooden tables that have large umbrellas, some yard games which kids were playing with, and a bar outside too that they sometimes use for larger events. They have a cute little wall of greenery out on the patio too that has the same "Leibe" that is on the interior as well, so it can be fun to take pics in front of that or sit beneath it. Our server on the patio was Presley, and the service was excellent. Always coming to check on us, do refills, and make sure everyone got their food correctly. I got a snack while we drank, and chose the homemade pretzels. They used to come in two big braids but now are actual pretzel shaped. They come with some super tasty beer cheese dip along with German mustard (but I always get two beer cheeses, as I'm not a big fan of mustard).We also had the hummus, which came with carrots, celery, and little crispy pita points. It was creamy and delicious, with none of the bitterness that hummus can sometimes have. The drinks were also wonderul. I had recently had dental surgery and could only have very low carbonation beers, but they kept the Guinness coming and I was a-okay. I recommend checking out the patio (or inside), because Barchen is still hitting it out of the park with their food, service, ambiance, drinks, and vibes!
Still one of the best places for food and beer in my opinion. We were in a hurry so we sat in the back patio. My doner kebab was loaded with meat, and the yogurt sauce completed the doner completely. I personally prefer the potato salad because it's made with mayonnaise and dill. I also like their cucumbers in yogurt and dill. Lots of beers to choose from still. Definitely worth stopping by for drinks sometime. Their appetizers are delicious too. You can't go wrong with good food and good beer.
We're lucky in Omaha to have some great German bars, and this is one of them! Definitely a great place to watch a soccer match. Big inside, lots of space to move around or chill depending on your preference. The beer garden in the back is great too, I wish we would've sat there for a bit but we ended up staying inside. We came on a Saturday evening during CWS week, so most of the TVs were turned to the games but when we asked to have it changed to a soccer match we'd been trying to watch, they tried really hard to get it for us. It ended up not being a channel they got there, but it was meaningful that they took the time to look for it, even come to our table to look for it with us. All the staff were super nice and checked on us to make sure we were doing alright, our waters were full, and we were enjoying the food. Speaking of, the food was pretty great. We ordered a couple beers (the German and European beer selection was pretty dang good!), pretzels, and a Reuben to split. There's a deal we wish we would've seen before we ordered, it's on the menu we just didn't look, but it's an appetizer, 2 burgers or sandwiches, and 2 beers/wine/frose for $65. A great deal! Especially considering we spent just about that for an app, one Reuben, and 2 beers. We'll get that deal next time we go for a soccer match! The pretzels came out and we thought they were bites for some reason, but they were whole, delightfully soft, salty pretzels with cheese and mustard. So good! The Reuben was good too, I wish there was a better sauerkraut to meat ratio (it was heavy on the meat) and my husband said he wishes the kraut was more sour, it was a bit sweet. Great sauce on it though! I love that they have a frose, I can't wait to go back and try it.
Fun beer garden! Bärchen is in a fun district with decent parking. There's plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The beer garden has umbrellas, fans, and TVs. You grab a menu when you walk in and a server will come to you. The staff is friendly. The prices are fair and the drinks were tasty. The food is also my favorite German food in Omaha!! The brats are so flavorful and the pretzels are perfect. This is great place to visit in good weather
Fun place and great place to enjoy a beer outside and play games with friends. The beers were good and cold. We didn't have any food but the menu looked. We had a bunch of drinks margaritas, old fashioned, and the shotopus. All were a bit off and not balanced well. I would say stick to beer here it's definitely more of the focus. I liked the shotopus it was a fun way to get a bunch of different shots. Service was great really attentive and friendly. They were happy to offer a suggested alternative when they were out of something.
Really cool beer garden with an awesome vibe! There were tons of drink options to choose from--something for every kind of beer lover, from hoppy IPAs to smooth lagers. The space is open and inviting, perfect for hanging out with friends or just kicking back on a nice day. The staff were super friendly and happy to make recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. Great place to relax, try something new, and enjoy a laid-back atmosphere.
The take-out service was good on a slow Saturday afternoon. The bartender was knowledgeable about all the biers. Not so much about the menu. I have been wanting to try their sausage sampler since they opened. It isn't a sample of German sausage as it has 3 non-German sausages, including a very American Jalepeno-cheese (ugh! Cheese does not belong in a sausage!). The bier braught is tasty. The rest were very dry, not moist at all and seemed to not actually be grilled (very little browning on the outside). The sauerkraut in the sausage sampler was very good (albeit not very much), but the mustard was standard Kraft yellow. There was a literary a JAR of dill pickle spears (7! OK, small jar) in the sampler. More sauerkraut would have been better (and probably cheaper!). I tried to sub out the Jalepeno-cheese sausage. The bartender said he would but it was still there when I got home. The Currywurst was good with a flavorful German ketchup. The soft pretzels are very good. The rest of the menu was way more bar food than German, with hamburgers and Nashville Hot chicken. Bottom line: Go for the bier, not the food. This place is as much a German restaurant as Taco Bell is a Mexican restaurant. I say this as someone who has been stationed in Germany (twice) with the US Army, visited 3 other times and LOVES German food. I miss Grtea's.... Edit: Spoke too soon on the mustard as there was a very good spicy German mustard under the pretzels!
This is one of our go to when we want German beer, and it never disappoints. Their appetizers (hummus is my favorite) are good, but sometimes there are changes to their menu so it's hard to say what's good and what not. This last time I went with the Ruben that was really good. Their potato salad was decent, but I think next time I'll try a different side.
Great spot in Benson for a beer and to catch a football match (Liverpool Bar). I have come up here for everything from World Cup matches (good luck finding a seat), to Friday nights for a pint. Always great service, and a ton of choices for German/Belgian and local beers. In addition to probably the best burgers in Omaha (no joke, they're that good), they also offer different shareable plates and sausages. Back patio is great in the summer time, and also has a small bar to order from. Only drawback is beers are $10-20 and food offerings are $12-20, with no happy hour. Great neighborhood spot for a pint!
This is a great place for authentic German beer. Great sports bar to watch the FIFA finals when I was there. Great selection of German beers styles including Hefeweizen, Pilsner, Koelsch, etc on tap. Beer garden was nice, but being fenced in made it hot to sit in and enjoy on the hot July day I visited. read more
Get place to watch a German World Cup game! I think my only two "frustrations" were that the speakers being used to hear the game weren't too great and the constant cold air blowing throughout. Glad that we came back after the Yelp event though! The burgers were really good but we joked that they taste just like Big Macs. Since we came for a game, there was limited menu items and seemed to have limited drinks too, but it was fun anyways! read more
Me and my boyfriend tried out Bärchen because they have a patio that allows dogs! It was super nice outside too so we decided to stop by here for an early dinner. There was also live music going on when we were here so the patio was pretty full. We both got burgers. I got a mushroom swiss burger and it was pretty okay. The patty tasted fresh but they put a lot of mushrooms and onions so it was kinda hard to eat. I would say that's a good problem to have though! My boyfriend got a burger and enjoyed it as well. The fries were good too and I liked the seasoning on them. Overall I am glad we tried out this place. read more

Great service delicious German beer. Pretzel was not up to expectations too bready. Burgers are excellent read more
Great bar spot in Benson. But did you know they also have some KILLER burgers? I ordered a brew and got their Mac Burger (has a similar sauce as on McDonald's Big Mac) even though the others on the menu looked good as well. The Mac Burger was SO good that I had to put the burger down, sit there and contemplate how good it was. Maybe it was the beer; but that Mac experience hit different. Sitting outside in the patio area on a beautiful sunny day was a cherry on top of the whole thing. Great experience overall - and I'm a believer in their burgers/food!! read more
Went here for a date night on their weekly trivia night. The host was fun and there were a number of teams there. The drinks were tasty. They have a large beer selection with a good list of cocktails. The pretzels are always delicious and perfectly made. They come with a side of mustard and cheese. We had a great night and will be back for more drinks and trivia! read more
Bärchen is a fantastic brewpub/beer garden in Benson with an incredible variety of German beers on tap as well as some equally delicious food offerings. The Happy Hour menu is also fantastic! The garden out back has a fantastic way to order from the table and everything comes out quite promptly. They also have very large umbrellas in the garden that provide a great amount of shade if it's too hot or sunny. The servers and bar tenders are very kind and I always enjoy coming here. read more
Looking for a good selection of German beer? You found the place. Looking for good food? Well, let's talk. This review is based on a Friday evening visit for dinner. The two of us each had a half liter of beer, Kristalweissbier for him, 1516 Kellerbier for me. It's our go-to beers. Always fresh and delish. The food: Bärchen (pronounced bear-shin) has appetizers that are a meal. The Hammer Pants Fries is not only something to giggle about when you say it, it's awesome. Very good fries topped with roasted pork, beer cheese (not too much, just right), chipotle aioli, cilantro, and pickled red onion. The onions were missing on this visit, but whatever. This is so tasty. Fun to eat and very filling. A woman seated next to me had it as her meal. We also shared the Barchen Burger, which is two patties of Imperial Wagyu Beef, with Gouda cheese, pickles, a spicy sauce and pickled onions. OH MY GOODNESS! Their hamburgers are always so flavorful, tender, and moist. I am rarely impressed by hamburgers because a burger is a burger. Not here. It's a must get if it's your first visit. I'll also add that their Nashville Hot Chicken is out of this world delicious too. I have had it at previous visits. I downed and enjoyed every morsel, every bite. IT IS SPICY! read more

From the service to the food to the environment everything here was a 5 star experience! I came here with my friend for happy hour it was really nice so we sat out on the patio. We started off with some Hawaiian Punch shots and I got the stumble juice as well. The juice was a rum based drink that had a lot of nice flavors ended up having two of those. The food was awesome and lived up to the hype! I've been wanting to come here for a while and am so glad I finally made the trip. This is hands down a top 5 burger in Omaha! I would probably put it in my top 3. Nothing fancy just fresh beef that was cooked perfectly it was juicy and packed with flavor! I would put this burger up against anywhere in the city and i will definitely be back! read more
Great spot in Benson to get some surprisingly great food! It's right across from "The Waiting Room" doors opened for our concert at 7pm on a Friday night and we walked in at 6pm, tables were half full, sign says to grab menus, seat yourself, & order through the QR code! Our drinks came out almost instantly after ordering and food shortly after that. I had the chicken sandwich (pictured) and my husband had the big cheese burger and said it was DELICIOUS. Fries come with the sandwiches/burgers, waitresses check in once in awhile, water on the bar to help yourself. Some of the food/drinks are priced differently online ordering and the menu above the bar so be cautious! We will definitely be back! read more

Thank you for your review and call out about different prices. We…
If you're looking for a good burger and drinks, this is the place! I love their wide beer selection and the burgers are always great. I also love their hot Nashville chicken sandwich. I would recommend to make it on one of their trivia nights, so fun. Never had a bad experience in this place! read more

We were camping nearby at Lake Cunningham and wanted to try a local dog friendly brewery. We decided on Barchen Beer Garden due to their large selection of German beer. We had not originally planned to eat but ended up ordering the Doner Kebab with cucumber salad and my husband got the Barchen Burger with fries. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the german beers. Thanks so much to Tony, our server, for the suggestions and the excellent service. He even brought our Caroline water as quickly as we took a table on the patio. Sorry I didn't provide food pictures but it was so good I had eaten everything before thinking of getting a photo. read more

Barchen (which we only just discovered after eating here numerous times is actually pronounced "Bear-shin") is a go-to spot for my friends and I whenever we want a good burger. I kid you not - my friend actually cried tears of joy after taking a bite out of The Big Cheese burger. My usual is the classic Barchen Burger, which I will often dream about. Their burgers have mouthwatering, juicy wagyu beef in them, and each burger is served with crispy fries. Their wide selection of beer makes it fun to try all the different kinds, although my favorites are their dark beers. The staff is always very friendly and prompt. I think I've only had one experience where we were neglected out of the dozen times I've been there. Our favorite time to go is in the summer because of their outdoor beer garden. Umbrellas and fans help to keep the heat away, making it the perfect social place to meet up friends and grab a meal or drink. It's dog-friendly too! I've held an event for my school at the beer garden before, and they were awesome at accommodating for our needs. Despite the fact that none of us can ever pronounce the name right, Barchen will forever be one of my favorite places to eat in Omaha. Its location in Benson made it an ideal spot to start a night of drinking and bar-hopping before COVID hit. If you haven't tried this place out yet, I hope that this review convinces you to pick up your phone and order a burger from there right now. read more

I'm in Omaha every other month or so for work and I like to try new places and Barchen Beer Garden made the list. For sure a great location in Benson with pretty solid food from what I can tell, I'd definitely like to try more. I got the smooth criminal which was a solid choice, although I would have liked it closer to medium rare, especially since it's wagyu. I asked for a stout and was recommended one by the bartender and it was the best stout I'd had in a long time. Definitely the sort of place you come with a big group of friends before you hit a few more bars in Benson. I gave it four stars because, despite it being good, it wasn't particularly unique or memorable to me; however, I was a solo diner and it's definitely the sort of place for a group outing. I said I'd like to try more dishes, but since I'm in Omaha so infrequently, I'll probably end up trying other restaurants rather than go back to Barchen. read more
