    I went to Let It Fly for a friend's birthday and we had a great time. They accommodated 14 of us during a busy day (Creighton game), so that was nice of them. Our server was amazing and super attentive. We tried one of their pizzas as well as their beer tower which were good. We had such a good time. We will totally be going back soon.

    Stopped in recently before a concert and was happy to see their event menu has expanded! We were sitting out on the patio and received good service for it being a busy space before the show. I got the hot honey mini pizza and caesar wrap to split with a friend. I wanted to inhale the whole thing, i LOVE their hot honey pizza! The wrap was food, but the fries were even better. Paired with the LIF lager, you can't go wrong.

    Our large group of OSU Beaver fans had so much fun at Let It Fly. Let It Fly hosted a pre-party 2.5 hours before every OSU baseball game. The restaurant is massive, giant tv screens two decks and the most amazing staff you'll ever meet. Their quick service was impeccable mixed in with smiles and a lot of laughs. We basically lived at Let It Fly while in Omaha and even went there on non-OSU game days to watch the other teams play. We ordered different entrees but our standout favorites were the Cobb salad, pretzel and their burgers and sandwiches. (I'd skip the pizza). They had these beer towers which were a hit at the table and so easy to share. They also had beer vendors on the first floor that gave out free beer and merch. We look forward to going back to the CWS and getting "our table" next year! Go Beavs!

    I like visiting Let It Fly when looking for that fun sports bar atmosphere. I like the location in Capitol District if going to an event nearby after or just looking for a good place to get a drink and watch a game. You'll never miss a game with TVs almost everywhere in the restaurant, and the place is huge weigh two levels and front and back patios. The menu is pretty typical for sports bar food, and I've enjoyed the burgers and appetizers. The drink list has plenty of options, and I really like the local beers they have on tap, including their namesake Let It Fly lager. Before a home creighton basketball game the place can get extremely busy, though clears out close to the start of the game as people head over to watch. They have daily food specials, and the drinks aren't a bad price. If looking to hang out with a group, they offer beer and drink towers which could be fun! Sometimes, even when not terribly busy, the food can come out a little slowly. Let It Fly has a fun atmosphere if you're looking for a cool sports bar and is definitely work a visit.

    Let me just say--Let It Fly Sports Bar is easily one of my favorite hangout spots in town. Whether you're going out with friends, catching a game, or even stopping in solo for a quick drink and some comfort food, this place delivers every single time. I've been here multiple times now, and honestly, every visit has been solid. It's one of those rare spots that manages to be both a go-to neighborhood bar and an elevated, full-on sports experience. First off: the vibe. This place is just cool. From the moment you walk in, it's obvious that it was designed with sports fans in mind--but it's not your average cramped, chaotic sports bar. It's clean, modern, and open, with great energy. The ambiance hits that perfect balance of lively but not overwhelming. You feel like you're in the middle of the action without having to shout over the crowd just to place an order. The giant screen in the center is a total showstopper. Honestly, it's one of my favorite things about the place--it makes watching a game feel like a full-on event. Every seat has a good view, but that massive central screen is the true MVP. If there's a big game on, this is where you want to be. Now, let's talk drinks--because this place does not mess around when it comes to their bar menu. The beer selection is excellent, with both local and popular options, and they're always cold, fresh, and served quick. But what really impressed me were the cocktails. A lot of sports bars treat cocktails like an afterthought, but Let It Fly has a legit drink menu with actual craftsmanship. Everything I've tried has been balanced, flavorful, and really well made--whether you're in the mood for something classic or something a little more creative. And then we've got the food, which is way better than you'd expect from a typical bar. In fact, calling it "bar food" almost feels like an insult. Everything I've had here has been solid, but I have to give a special shoutout to the fries--they are so good. Crispy, hot, perfectly seasoned. I've had them with burgers, sandwiches, and just on their own with a drink, and every time I'm like, "Yup, still amazing." It's the little things, you know? Another thing I love: this place is equally great whether you come with a group or by yourself. I've been here solo once, just looking to unwind, and I was treated with the same warmth and attention as if I had walked in with a party of ten. The bartenders and servers are genuinely friendly, not in a forced or rushed way, but like they actually enjoy what they're doing. That goes a long way, especially when you're just trying to relax and enjoy your food and drink. It's also the kind of spot where you can easily spend hours. Whether you're watching multiple games, catching up with friends, or just enjoying the energy of a good sports crowd, time flies here (pun intended). The layout is spacious enough that it never feels overly packed or uncomfortable, even during peak hours. It's lively, but not chaotic--energetic, but not overwhelming. In short: the perfect hangout environment. I honestly can't think of a single negative thing to say. Every visit I've had has been fun, easy, and full of good vibes. The drinks are excellent, the food hits the spot, the screens are epic, and the staff makes you feel welcome no matter what.

    Underrated sports bar with tons of TVs, cold beer, and great food. The service was a little slow because it was busy but we weren't in a rush. Enjoyed the Friday special and the overall vibe was great and definitely will be back.

    I do like this place because it is quite expansive inside. The booths are all HUGE so bring friends! My one hitch is consistency. I usually goto a place multiple times before leaving reviews and find something that is good to take pictures of and make sure to post them. From my own pictures and visits the quantity of or quality of items varied quite a bit. The flavor was still there but the looks of the item may have been awesome or NOT. Because of the area this business is in prices are a bit on the high side and if its busy service will be slow. For comparison the surrounding places do not have the variety and ambience as this place does so depending on where you are in your journey this is a good option. I personally have never had a bad experience yet but maybe that is my luck. Try it out... at least that HUGE stadium screen is pretty cool haha!

    We made reservations for a Friday night, but there must not have been any big events going on because it was pretty slow. The space was nice, plenty of TVs and tables for large groups. The drink menu looked promising,but friends that tried their cocktails said they were just okay. I settled on a beer. Lots of domestics, which is to be expected, would have liked to see some more local options available. We ordered mozzarella sticks for an appetizers they were fantastic! I could probably eat a whole order to myself. Will definitely get these again. For dinner, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with fries. The pork was tasty and I liked the addition of a slightly sweet coleslaw on top. The fries were fantastic! Perfectly cooked and not too salty. Overall, our service was mediocre. Our server was not overly friendly, stopped by a lot as we were reviewing the menu options, then kind of disappeared after our food came. It was a slow night, so I can't imagine it would be any better on a busy event night! Might give it another go if I'm in the area for an event, but wouldn't be a destination dinner spot for me. Paid street parking available all around the Capitol District, or park in the garage attached to the Marriott.

    CRAB RAGOON FRIES

    This is a great sports bar downtown. It has the same vibe as a lot of big sports bars out west. It was fun to watch the Olympics here over the summer and it's fun for creighton games. The service has always okay - not overly friendly like some places down here but not awful by any means. I'm obsessed with the Crab Rangoon fries they are so so good and probably my favorite thing on the menu.

As for the beer, I had one of their Scary Numbers, which was a fairly flat stout, with little to revere. It was drinkable. My brother-in-law opted for the sampler with a mix of seasonal & "avant-garde" flavors. He drank it, and I sampled, but all five were very missable. This is a case where the food carried the beer, instead of the other way around. The food was good, but not great. I did enjoy my Jambalaya, and if we return, would stick to that. I would pass on their crafted beer, opting for another offering, which is kind of sad.

They weren't too busy which was nice, we were seated promptly, given menus and water and time to order. After deciding on an appetizer (artichoke spinach dip) we called it good.

Regardless, staff was kind and prompt, the place was clean and well staffed, food appeared quickly, and staff stayed on top of their work. *The appetizer was not my favorite/my dates favorite.

Everyone raved about the country fried bacon. The quality vs value was pretty good on the appetizer but it was a 6 out of 10 at best. The dipping gravy was way too thin, add some flour!! I ordered French dip with fries. I was severely disappointed as the roast beef had no flavor at all. I left half on my plate. Fries were good.
