    Popcorn and Cocktails in the Old Market is a hidden gem. Tucked away is a cute bar that serves up some delicious cocktails and pairs them with popcorn. The Butterfly Paloma was a refreshing grapefruit treat paired with Lemon Bar popcorn! Absolutely delicious! Who knew flavored popcorn could pair so perfectly with cocktails?! It's creative without being over-the-top, and everything tasted so thoughtfully put together. There's also a small patio out front that's perfect for soaking up some nice weather and a little people watching, which just adds to the vibe. And Angela, the owner, is an absolute sweetheart--so welcoming and genuinely fun to chat with. You can tell she really cares about the experience. We'll definitely be back... and next time we're bringing friends!

    If you're looking for a unique night out in Omaha, Popcorn and Cocktails (PaC's) absolutely delivers. This place is such a creative concept--every cocktail is thoughtfully paired with gourmet popcorn, and it works way better than you'd expect. We tried several drinks, and each one stood out: * The Tart Cherry Old Fashioned was smooth with just the right balance of sweetness and depth * The Caramel Macchiato Martini was a perfect dessert-style cocktail without being overly heavy * The Pomegranate Margarita was bright, fresh, and super easy to drink * The Sticky Mule was probably the most unique--great flavor combination with a little kick Each drink came with its own popcorn pairing, and honestly, that's what makes this place special. The pairings actually enhance the cocktails instead of just being a gimmick. Beyond the drinks, the atmosphere is excellent--comfortable, clean, and stylish with a relaxed vibe. Whether you're sitting inside or out on the patio, it's a great spot to hang out and take your time. The staff was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they're doing, which always elevates the experience. This is easily one of the more unique cocktail bars in Omaha and a perfect spot for date night, a small group, or even just trying something different. Highly recommend--will definitely be back.

    The bar!

    Second time visiting and second time having a great experience! First was a Yelp event where we tried 4 different drinks and now the Grey Goose Dirty. Drinks are crafty, well made, and consistent. What a great concept to pair drinks with gourmet popcorn. This time I went for my birthday with 15 friends and everyone was impressed with the drinks and service. The bar paid attention to our needs and were super friendly...highly recommend. Wife and I will be back...

    What a unique way to shake up going out for a drink - and both of my cocktails and popcorn pairings were delicious! The cocktails might be a little more pricey than I care to pay on a regular basis, but the yummy popcorn being included helps me feel a bit better about it. Service was fantastic and I love that you can buy a bag of your favorite popcorn to take home.

    Let me tell you about this unique, surprisingly good place! At first I thought, 'you order whatever cocktail you like and you can also order popcorn'. NO! They intentionally select a beautifully paired handful of popcorn to go with your cocktail. I was so happy to have a tasty cocktail and a perfect match popcorn. Both were incredibly delicious! On top of that, our server was incredible! Her passion for working there was palpable. I wish I had asked her her name because she deserves employee of the year! Can't wait to go back and try some more pairings!

    The popcorn and cocktail combinations they put together worked really well. I'm not a sweet person, but I enjoyed the combinations ! I would go back again for sure. The drinks were really good and worth the money.

    Such a unique bar concept that I haven't heard of before! They have unique cocktail concepts paired up with great flavors of popcorn ranging from dill pickle, strawberry cheesecake, birthday cake and so much more. One worker behind the bar so drinks took longer than normal but was no big deal to us! The Summer Peach was a huge hit to me. Made me miss the summer weather. Not too much alcohol and just enough sweetness made this I would keep coming back for. My buttered bourbon was pretty good. Kinda obvious but definitely for the bourbon lovers.

    Such a cool spot. Dylon served us this evening. I have never heard of popcorn and cocktails! Such a cool experience! Popcorn was amazing (all different flavors). Dylon was very accommodating and personable and made sure all our needs were met. If you are in this area, please go by this place and enjoy this wonderful ambiance. Bar and TVs for viewing. Noise level was low and price point is $$

    Popcorn and Cocktails is such a cool place tucked away in the Old Market. I ordered the Lavendar Martini with the Blackberry Cheesecake popcorn and it was so good, the popcorn really added to the drink. I also tried three others and they all were delicious. Never would've thought of popcorn with cocktails but it really works and the pairings are spot on. Loved the spicy honey in the Sticky Mule with the Peanut Butter popcorn just the right balance of sweet and spicy!

    This is such a fun, cool place to enjoy unique drinks and snacks with friends. The Saturday afternoon we stopped by was quiet, but I can see this being a hot spot for drinks. They offered some seasonal drinks paired with popcorn that was delicious. I really liked the old fashion, but the lavender champagne drink was delicious. Plus, strawberry cheesecake popcorn gave the extra little perk to my visit. I can't wait to go back and definitely bringing family when they come into town.

    Love love love the concept of this cocktail lounge. We went for happy hour and they had a bunch of cocktails for $10. I tried the peach mango wine slushie and summer peach. Both were really good with the wine slushie being my overall favorite. It wasn't overly sweet, still tasting like wine, which I can't say is true for other wine slushies I've had in the past. The peach mango slushie was paired with delicious lemon bar popcorn as well that was also my favorite I tried. The summer peach was paired with toffee almond, which was good, just not as good as the lemon. The lemon popcorn was coated in a powder sugar like a puppy show. Service was quick and all the decor was super cute. Definitely check this place out!

    Dirty vodka martini with Cajun popcorn

    I will admit when my wife said we were going here I was not happy. I went for the dirty martini with vodka that was supposed to be paired with buffalo popcorn but they were out. The lady provided Cajun flavored popcorn that had a kick to it. I will admit she made an impressive dirty martini. I like the low-key, quiet atmosphere, so I will say my wife did good choosing this for our afternoon of drinks and conversation.

    Kristy H.

    Love this concept of gourmet popcorn paired with creative cocktails! The wall murals were adorable and it was a lovely art deco type vibe. We had the owner as our bartender and really enjoyed getting to speak with her. This is a unique place to take friends. Will definitely be back.

Let's be honest, you don't go to a sports bar expecting Michelin stars, but these folks are giving you five-star flavor in a no-nonsense setting. The bartenders know how to pour a drink strong enough to make you question why you don't come here every weekend. And don't even get me started on those blackened chicken quesadillas. I don't know what they sprinkle on those things, but it's some kind of addictive magic dust. Each bite is a journey of savory chicken, melty cheese, and just enough spice to remind you you're alive. So if you're looking for a place to drown your workweek woes with good company, solid drinks, and quesadillas that are probably the best decision you'll make all week, Amerisports is the spot. Just don't blame me when you're craving those quesadillas at 2 a.m.!"

    Highly recommend 1853 if you're at Ameristar Casino or looking for a great dinner spot in the area…read more It's an upscale restaurant located right inside the casino, and the food and service were both excellent. We sat at the bar and Connor took great care of us. He was funny, attentive, and made one of the best Moscow Mules I've had in a long time. For dinner, my boyfriend ordered the pork ribeye and I went with the pistachio and parmesan crusted salmon. Both dishes were cooked perfectly. The pork was tender and flavorful, and the salmon had a great crust without overpowering the fish. My favorite part may have been the sweet pea and lemon risotto. It was soooooo creamy and packed with flavor. Every bite was better than the last. The vegetables and accompaniments on both plates were thoughtful and well prepared. I can't stop thinking about the Brussels sprouts. They were so good I'd go back just to order a plate of those. Oh, and don't let me forget about the sliced French bread with the olive oil and garlic balsamic dipping sauce. Absolutely incredible. Great food, great service, and a really enjoyable dining experience overall. Connor, keep making those Moscow Mules!

This place is a spectacular little world of wonder and adventure. Over the course of my trip, I got to experience so many different sides of it. I attended an event on a Friday night, enjoyed specialty drinks, and watched a Shakespeare performance. I had so much fun! During the weekdays, I took a few meetings there while enjoying matcha and snacks. On another day, I simply came in to relax and unwind. What I loved most is that The Reading Room somehow manages to be a place for everyone. It's somewhere to meet new friends, get some work done, have a quiet moment alone, or come out and have fun at an event. Kids, adults, cocktail lovers, tea drinkers, readers, remote workers. There's a little something for everyone. And Sam, the owner, is absolutely fantastic. I was spoiled with great conversation, genuine hospitality, and impeccable service throughout my visits.
