Just to make sure you're aware, there is not any food served here (at least that we saw) but they did appear to be letting you bring in food as long as you're buying drinks. They have a very large selection, especially of bourbons and scotches. It was hard to get our server's attention after the first drink, so that became frustrating when we had to get up to check on our drinks more than once. read more

Relaxing wine & spirits spot in Midtown Onaha. Plenty of comfortable seating perfect for a quiet date night or large gathering of friends. Welcoming and accommodating staff. Nice decor.

The service was great! Everyone was very attentive and it was a great spot to hang out before going to the Orpheum.

Love this place. It's dark and moody inside, cozy corners for dates, large tables for groups, nice patio for good weather. Service is fantastic - never a long wait, always smiling. Excellent cocktails and extensive whiskey list. They don't have a kitchen but offer local charcuterie boards. Can't recommend enough. read more

Proof is always the spot that comes to mind for amazing cocktails in Omaha...but when my friends and I saw they were doing an espresso martini flight on their fall menu, we had to get there asap!!! Grabbed seats at the bar, and the bartenders were friendly and attentive. The flight was beautifully presented and each drink was really quite good!! It is a little pricy ($50 but it is 4 whole martinis), and if you go during happy hour, you'll save a little. Perfect for sharing with a friend! Plenty of meter parking around Midtown Crossing, and they have a great patio overlooking Turner Park! read more

The drinks are made to order from fresh ingredients, all mixes are made in house. The bartender was so nice and knowledgeable!! They have outdoor seating available in the summer overlooking the park, so super relaxing. They don't serve food, but welcome patrons to bring their own food. Cost is reasonable considering the quality and atmosphere. read more

4.5 stars for Proof, it's a great Whiskey bar in mid town crossing that has excellent bar staff, great selection of bourbon, scotch, etc and excellent drinks. I would call it whiskey-centric, but you can get pretty much any spirit you can think of, they also sell bourbon and scotch. The bar is open and airy, and there is such a large selection that you will have fun just looking at everything they have. The drink menu is really solid, the banana bread old fashioned and whiskey sour are two of my favorites. read more

If you're staying at the Westin Element, this is connected to the entrance to the property in a weird sort of way. Bourbon, Scotch, and whisky is their game. Lots of rare, allocated bottles. If you've ever wanted to try something before you plop down $80 at a store, I recommend a place like this. Service was friendly, knowledgeable and timely. Bonus if you visit on Wednesday night. ALL whiskies are 25% off. read more

Great atmosphere with knowledgeable bartenders. I will be back. Only thing that would make it better to me is if they served apps.

Happy-Hour | Chill | Snacks Happy-Hour: This place has happy hour until 7 PM. They do 25% off their entire menu for the happy hour special. Their Happy hour end time was REFRESHING! Normally happy hour ends at 5:30 or 6 PM. As someone who normally wants to change out of my work clothes before enjoying a cocktail, this is awesome. So, if you're going to grab a drink after work and it's 6:15 PM, this is your place. Chill: Overall, the place is super low-key. The bar is the establishment's focal point, and they have community tables throughout the indoor area. There are 1-2 booths in a corner. But, overall, it is a great place to show up with friends and meet new people. It's one of the few places organized in a way that highly encourages you to meet neighbors or bring groups of 6+. Snacks: This is definitely a drinking spot. Their food menu is extremely limited to snacks. We had the pretzel bites that were good to snack on, but this is either a place to start or finish your night. Pro Tip: They have indoor and outdoor space, so it will be a great spot to catch a drink after work or to start your weekend. Pro Tip: They have a massive cocktail menu. Very impressive. They have all types of liquors - So be prepared to pick your adventure. Their list has a great range in terms of tequila, whiskey, and scotches. So, if you have "high-end" taste or you want to do the "taste test" on your own with friends, this is a great spot. read more

Excellent selection of single malt scotch and whiskey. Bartender was friendly and had me try a few whiskey's. Hit the nail on the head with the first whiskey, Arron's Sauternes cask Single malt but went sideways after. The pricing was a little off put, can get quite expensive for what they're pouring. Will trial another attempt to see if it's worth a 5 star rating or if it sticks at 4. Also, didn't have but saw people across from us having the flatbread and it looked very appetizing! read more

Loved the location and the outdoor and indoor seating. Service was good and very knowledgeable of their drinks. I'd say these two drinks are the best on their menu. Ambiance is exactly how you'd want it to be, great spot for conversation. read more

Exceptional service, the drink selection is vast and the bartenders can even recommend one of their own made concoctions. Great "speakeasy" type ambiance without actually being a speakeasy and even when these guys are packed, always finds a time to check on us. read more

I walked in and, a party was about to end came into town for it got recommended to come here some guy told me very rudely to leave and come in in like an hour and a half. I said I'm literally in town for night and. Just shrugged his shoulders will never even try and go to this place again with him stating that the people in here are spending big money and they are his first priority. Worked in hospitality and was shocked that was his response. I just asked to get a drink and take a picture for my birthday. Horrible service. read more

Lots of whiskeys, but they need a staff that knows what they are selling, and how their menu works. I ordered the digestif Green Chartruse. Off of the menu. I was told they don't have it. I ordered something else they'd didn't have it. Not a problem. The problem was when asked for a digestif, they say you want a shot of something. No. I want the 1.5 oz pour shaken over ice in a cordial glass. But being condescending about how a drink on your menu is worded and you telling me you don't understand the request. I think just a brush up on how drinks should be poured that are on the menu is a must in the service industry . read more

Amazing bourbon/scotch selection! Great drink specials! Great service. Awesome patio. Can't go wrong with this place. Check it out while in Omaha! read more

This is ,without doubt, the most pretentious, poorly staffed bar in Omaha. The only business they get is from the weddings next door. read more

Amazed I haven't left a review of this place. It's always been good... but now that Joel has a little time under his belt, the quality of the bourbon/whiskey he is getting is growing quickly. It's awesome. They get some really hard to find bourbons in and have been putting together flights lately that are priced crazy well! I've tried a bunch of different stuff here and always enjoy myself. Joel (owner) and his staff are knowledgeable and almost always make a great recommendation. They also sell some stuff at retail.. last time i was there they had an enormous bottle of Eagle Rare. this stuff is getting a little harder to find, so i snagged it since my bottle at home was low. I'll be back.. as long as I'm traveling to Omaha! read more

I wish there were more stars to give honestly. This place was uhhmazing! Where do I start? We were served waters right away, fantastic drink recommendations from Kyle and frequent check ins to make sure we were doing great. The drinks were so yummy. This is the perfect place to come and relax while sipping on a drink. Ladies bring your mans if you're looking to impress him. read more

Came here for drinks with colleagues to celebrate and it was the perfect spot. Bartenders were super kind and helpful in suggesting cocktails. I went with the Blueberry Sour because it had kombucha in it and it did not disappoint. Several others opted for the Cherrywood which I had second - also delish. I can see this being my spot to bring friends and family from out of town. We'll be back! read more

Found this place completely on accident, but I'm SO glad we did! We ran into Jeremy outside and we probably looked lost because he was kind enough to give us a lay of the land, including details on all of the surrounding restaurants and parks, since we had our dog with us. The patio has an amazing view and breeze from the park, and is dog friendly, much like the owner and pretty much everyone who works here, which is so great! They even brought our pup treats and ice water! The patio has tables and comfy outdoor couches to sit on--a great place to meet a friend for drinks and watch the sunset! We got an incredibly well-made old fashioned, and cherry oak rabbit hole, along with the bbq brisket sliders, and marguerita pizza, which were amazing. The inside has a great vibe and some super comfy looking couches. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back if ever in Omaha again! read more

fantastic service, great cocktails... only reason it doesn't get a 5th star is because they need napkins

I went here to get a couple of drinks while visiting from California. Nice watering hole, good drinks with lots of choices but too bad the Female bartender does not know how to say hello, check on the customer if they need anything else or thank you when gives the bill. Total turn off! For a minute I thought I was back in LA instead of Omaha! Their website promotes Service which obviously this bartender was not aware of. read more

Our experience was phenomenal! They have an extensive supply of all varieties of alcoholic beverages. We opted for two house cocktails and were highly impressed. Our drinks were delicious. The service was so attentive and friendly and the vibe is great. Definitely recommend checking them out! read more

So if you are looking for a neighborhood bar, this might not be the place for you. The whiskey collection is amazing! The staff are EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the spirits. You can order anything in 1 or 2 oz pours. Oh and they also do mixed drinks for those who prefer their spirits that way. read more

Where do I even start with Proof? How can you formulate words into trying to describe this amazing establishment? It is WONDERFUL. First off, the decor - WOW, the decor. You walk in and are immediately blown away. I've been to Proof so many times and it still takes my breath away each time. The drinks - EXCELLENT. I was personally never a big bourbon fan for awhile, but Proof brought it out in me. They have an incredible selection (there are some with less than 100 bottles sold in the US...or something crazy like that) and you can find anything and everything you'd ever dream of there. My personal go-to at Proof is a "Smoked Old Fashioned" where they literally set a piece of cedar wood on fire, place the glass over the flame and let the glass infuse with the cedar smoke while they're shaking up the actual cocktail - INCREDIBLE. If you're not a bourbon fan, their cocktail menu is EXCELLENT. You truly can't go wrong. The food - I haven't had the food enough times to get into too much detail (as I usually end up drinking my dinner there...hehe), but it has been excellent so far. Most importantly, the staff - My goodness, I don't even know where to start. I've known Joel for many years and he is a truly top-notch business owner and overall wonderful human being. He makes a point to talk to EVERY customer and provide education on the business, the bourbon, and much more. The staff as a whole are just like him - they radiate positivity, knowledge, and are just very friendly people. You all are doing an incredible job and I can truly say that I genuinely enjoy coming into Proof for, yes, the drinks and the atmosphere, but mostly because of the staff! Keep up the great work! read more

For all those whiskey lovers and aficionados our there this is your place! They have a really nice selection of whiskeys from your basics to your middle and top-shelf picks. Although this place has several whiskeys on hand, we ended up getting some picks off their cocktail menu. I had their espresso cocktail, it comes with a light 30% espresso liquor mix for that coffee bean flavor and added to it is whiskey of course. The bartender made this cocktail shaken over ice which was a nice touch and definitely added a refreshing aspect to the creamy nature of the coffee cocktail. Check this place out for not only their wide selection of whiskeys but their cocktails as well! read more

My brother in law and I went to Proof a few weeks ago and it was a great experience. Proof, formerly the beloved Grane, has been open for a few months and it appears to be doing an amazing job. It's a whiskey bar so the prices are a tad higher than normal, and that's okay for a place like this. You can see all of the gorgeous bottles of hard liquor on the wall behind the bar. A very cool sight. Their craft cocktails are awesome as well. You can tell that the bartenders know what they are doing. The only con to this place is that they appear to have dropped all food from their menu. Not sure if I just didn't see it but it would be nice to have something to eat while downing their amazing alcohol. One of the co-owners, who has two huge German Shepherds at home, is awesome too. He walks around and chats with people like they are his friends and isn't afraid to do so. I believe he was a manager at Grane and then he purchased it and re-branded it as Proof with another individual. I'm glad because with him at the helm, it seems that Proof is destined to succeed. Overall, I love this place. It has everything I would want in a cool, lax whiskey bar. Can't wait to go back for another round. read more

Came back here for the tasty drink selections! We sat on the outdoor patio & listened to some jazz on the green while drinking something flavorful! Not sure the name of my drink, but it tasted great & I'll have to go back to try a few more! 3 bartenders were working hard for the busy crowd on an early Saturday evening! We never had any problem ordering our drinks & everyone was very friendly & happy to be there. read more

GRANE is reborn as PROOF. The dispensers are gone, more seating has been added, and the whisk(e)y selection has expanded. Instead of focusing on high end, expensive drinks, the majority of the options are in the five to twenty dollar range. Aside from many whisk(e)ys, they have cocktails, gin, rum, tequilas, cordials, beer, etc, so you can bring your friends even if you're the only whisk(e)y connoisseur in the group. The menu has everything listed as 2oz pours, but they do have 1oz pours! Don't be afraid to try a number of things. No snacks at this point, but rumor has it something simple is in planning. There's no physical kitchen in the back so it won't be anything crazy. Cheers ya'll! read more

A knowledgeable and friendly wait staff with plenty of liquor options. Love the bottles for sale along the wall and the diversity of seating options (from high tops to booths to bar). Tried the Manhattan this evening and wasn't overly impressed. There seemed to lack complexity, but what was lacking in that arena was quickly forgotten by the buzz due to the strength. They pour them strong, which is not surprising considering Proof is a whiskey bar. In the past I have thoroughly enjoyed the Proof Penicillin cocktail. It's definitely a rich dessert drink, but was a fulfilling way to end the evening. read more
