There were quite a few people in front of us when we arrived, but we only ended up waiting about 30 minutes or so. When we got into the Wicked Rabbit, the ambiance was awesome. We were seated at the bar, and really enjoyed watching the bartenders work their magic. We struck up some conversations with those around us, and just had a great time. The drinks were all amazing, and this is a must visit in the Omaha area. I will be back for sure.

The ambience is very neat, and the backstory of the inspiration for Anna's Place was compelling as a history lover. The sultry vibes and dim lighting made this the perfect spot for drinks before our Valentine's dinner. Our server was the absolute sweetest and she gave the best recommendation for me as someone who can be picky about drinks. She recommended the most delicious drink, which unfortunately I forgot the name for, but it was impeccable. I would love to come back here again!

They couldn't answer questions we had about cocktail items. The garnish in my selected cocktail was so big, it could have adorned the front hall of a Barbie dream house at Christmas. We were approached at a point that bordered on harassment by the young, naive waiter--incessantly interrupting our conversation in one of the tiniest, intimate public lounges in NE. Awareness was severely lacking. The bathroom is now unspeakably stinky and dirty, reeking of urine. The tiny hand washing area is tattered and dirty, trash was spilling over the edge of the can. It's fast becoming a shell of its former self. What a sad thing. Perhaps the other room is owned by someone new?

They use Woodford Reserve, the bitters are subtle, and there's a noticeable orange peel aroma. The sweetness comes through more at the end, but it's not overpowering, which I appreciate. Overall, it's very well balanced. It's served with a large ice cube that melts slowly and doesn't water the drink down. Service is always great. Even if I have more than one drink, I never have to wait long for the server to check in and see if I'd like another. The place is not crowded, and it's a great spot to hang out and relax. It's easy to have a good conversation with friends here.

It's a small,…read moreintimate space--maybe seats around 30, with room for more if people are standing--so don't come expecting a big, loud bar. That's actually part of the appeal. Drinks are solid and consistently well made. Nothing gimmicky, just good cocktails done right. The ambiance is fair but comfortable, and the size makes it ideal if you're looking to have a real conversation with someone without yelling over music or crowds. Location is another plus. It's very convenient if you want a drink before or after a Westside game, or just need a low-key stop nearby. If you're after a cozy, intimate spot with good drinks and a relaxed vibe, Inkwell Bar delivers.

I always forget about parking in this area and it was a little difficult due to some construction that was going on but that's no fault of the venue.

Reasonably priced tickets and drinks, and we didn't have to wait long in line to get in. The acoustics are good, and the tear down/set up between bands was smooth.

It's part of the background noise of mundane forces at work to undermine quality adult entertainment everywhere like bad lighting, corn syrup and YA literature. Then there are also gay bars like The Omaha Mining Company where that hostile background buzz evaporates like someone turned off the fluorescents at the office. Located on Leavenworth in the sweet spot between Douglas County Jail and urban blight, The Omaha Mining Company has been a home to the local gay community, in one form or another, since the late-60s. It was on the fringe and still is. Thankfully, it's a much safer fringe now than it once was because street parking gets tight on the weekends. Use a spotter or carpool because many of the spaces across Leavenworth are reserved for law enforcement. Inside, The Mining Company has a fun, inclusive, working-class dive bar feel. Of course there is the humor one hopes to find at their friendly, all-inclusive, neighborhood: street signs that read as double entendres in their current context: Elevated manhole, 69th Street, Rainbow Boulevard. It's PFLAG-family friendly bar fun for all. If you've never been or just haven't been in awhile, it's worth checking out. My first trip back to The Mining Company since 2013 was inspired by an invitation to a Youth Emergency Services charity event by Drew Dietz, president of Big O! Bears and featuring celebrity guest Mr. North American Bear 2017, A.J. Perdew. The place was packed with people and positive vibes. The staff was hustling and harried, but never rude. The clientele, many sporting harnesses, could not have no been more welcoming.   One of the best features of The Omaha Mining Company came about six years ago when a rear storage area was converted into a most impressive dance floor. Encompassing three stories and the width of the building, this beautiful, mirrored space is large enough to work as an entirely separate venue for shows.    Knowing people has its privileges. To wit, President Dietz gave me a tour of The Mineshaft, The Omaha Mining Company's basement sanctum. The Mineshaft is not for everyday use. It's a special events/party room just this side of a speakeasy. It resembles nothing so much as a 70s era rumpus room for swingers, perfect for gear night, club meeting, socials or just hanging with the fellas. Besides the bears at the bar were beers on tap: Budweiser, Bud Light, Shock Top, Stella Artois, Stella Artois Cidre, Michelob Ultra, Goose Island IPA and Woodchuck. Pitchers are only $7.75. Bottles of Bud, Bud Light, Brunette Nut Brown and Summit Seasonal are $4. Corona, Modelo, Best Damn Root Beer, Oskar Blues Old Chubb, Heineken and Sam Adams are $4.75. Happy hours are Monday through Friday from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays free pool, Wednesday's karaoke is from 8 to 12. Second Saturdays are Gear Night and every 4th Saturday is Bear Bar in The Mineshaft.
