Who would have thought we'd find such a gem tucked away in a strip mall?…read moreWe discovered this bar online and decided to stop by for a few cocktails on a weekday evening. When we arrived, we were seated promptly and given time to look over the menu. There were plenty of options to choose from, with something to suit just about every palate.What impressed us most was that there appeared to be only one person working, and he was an absolute champ . effortlessly juggling multiple tables, crafting excellent cocktails, and taking the time to answer questions and make recommendations. Between the four of us, we sampled quite a few drinks and found every one of them fantastic. The cocktails were thoughtfully made, well-balanced, and showcased a lot of skill behind the bar.Great drinks, great service, and a pleasant surprise all around. This is exactly the kind of gem you hope to stumble upon.

I ordered an espresso martini, and the bartender mentioned he could make a salted caramel martini that wasn't even on the menu. It was decadent, perfectly balanced, and definitely strong--in the best way. It even came garnished with a Ghirardelli chocolate, which was such a thoughtful touch. Despite how busy it was, the bartender was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. I never felt rushed or like I was a bother, which really stood out. Excellent service, elevated cocktails, and a gorgeous bar, proof absolutely lives up to its reputation.

The creamy sauce they paired them with was a perfect starter to my meal: a classic reuben with fries. I can always go for a good reuben, and Burdock and Bitters delivered!

The Council Bluffs 100 Block is the oldest commercial neighborhood in the metro area. Dating back…read moreto 1853, most of the block's buildings celebrated their sesquicentennial a couple of presidents ago. Omaha's first newspaper was printed on this block. This block is older than the invention of cocktails, imagine that. It was pretty rough and full of scoundrels in those halcyon days: journalists, lawyers, land speculators, railroad magnates, Abraham Lincoln. Eventually things improved as saloons, social clubs, gambling halls and bordellos moved in. Today, the 100 Block is to Council Bluffs what Buckhead is to Atlanta and a new whiskey bar called The Barrel is in the middle of it. The Barrel is a swanky, crafty, well-appointed, beautifully decorated, two-story lounge featuring cocktails made according to original recipes with top shelf brands. No mixes, no shortcuts. Every drink is a double just as our shameless forebears intended them. The interior is full of local art including the Barrel sign over the bar. It's well lit with high ceilings reflecting the warmth of the architecture and the staff.     The night I stopped in was moderately busy for a Friday night before 9 p.m. A dozen or so patrons filled the upstairs bar room before wandering downstairs to the more lounge-y Bottom of the Barrel. This is where the bands play and the furnishings swing more to the comfortable side of things. There is a bar here as well, but the craft cocktails were being made upstairs that night. So back upstairs, I asked for a recommendation to show me the takeaway, the thing I should know about The Barrel. Now normally, if a bartender recommends a whiskey sour I assume he thinks I'm in high school or doesn't want a tip, but the gregarious gent behind the bar that night was telling sincere stories, and not just with his beautiful scalp tattoos. The Whiskey Sour was a great place to start. The simple classic has been denigrated for decades by shortcuts and mixes. But this Whiskey Sour is born again hard made with Cody Road Rye, fresh lemon, egg white and love for only $8. Spectacular. And foamy. There is a literal wall of 130 whiskeys at The Barrel Each shelf is higher than the last. Your taste is limited only by your credit. Their Old Fashioned had me at spherical ice, but I intend to return for more classics (Manhattan, Negroni, Tom Collins) or clever originals (Brockway Bulldog, Baltimore Zoo or The Night is Dark and Full of Terror). And there's beer. Exile Beatnik Sour and Lagunitas IPA ($5), Burning Skye Scottish Ale, Lucky Bucket Wide Eye Coffee Stout, Millstream Pale Ale, Brickway Maple Pecan Brown Ale, Empyrean Dark Side Vanilla Porter ($4.50) and Bud Light ($3). There is live music on Fridays and Saturdays, an open jam from 4-8 Sundays followed by an open mic until close, and comedy every second Wednesday. The Bottom of the Barrel has $3 premium wells on weekends and there is never a cover. With drinks like this, it's obvious why our ancestors were so unapologetic about drinking doubles.

The service is always great, they obviously do a great job of training. We were in town for the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meeting and it was packed. Luckily, I was smart enough to make reservations, and we actually were seated right away. The young man that was our server was a little overwhelmed, but he did a great job. We also thought our cocktail waitress was definitely above grade, she was quick, calm, and didn't let the craziness slow her down. All of us had the whiskey steak medium rare and it was every bit as good as it was in the 80's , which proves that sometimes you CAN go home. I will continue to be a loyal customer for as long as I am alive, I love it that much. Do yourself a favor, try this place out. If you are a steak fan, this place is a great place to go after a long cattle drive.
