    So happy to have Sonny's back for another season of outdoor activities! I've really been enjoying the calendar of events, both during the day and at night on weeknights and weekends. My favorite will always be sitting out and enjoying a cocktail with live music on a Friday night! I really like being able to order food from the Inner Rail for a snack as well!

    I love when summer starts because that means Sonny's is back! Having an outdoor spot like Sonny's is the best. They make it even more fun with live music and cool summer events. My favorite is when they host salsa nights! It can definitely get busy when the weather's nice, but there's a big green open area so it never feels cramped. I like their cocktail menu a lot, and they have a good variety of drinks (just a heads-up...no shots!). Sonny's is one of my favorite spots for a chill summer evening!

    Karaoke!

    Stopped by here on a Thursday evening. We had not been planning to come here but we had eaten at a nearby restaurant and saw a DJ setting up on the green space here. So we stopped to watch the karaoke "for a few minutes" and ended up staying the entire time. The DJ was fantastic and people were having a great time. There are some fun and inventive drinks on the menu. We will definitely be returning. Maybe we'll be brave enough to a song!

    First time coming here for a swing dance event and it was a great and packed atmosphere! We watched the lesson, danced a little on the green, and got some shots and drinks to celebrate a birthday. The menu was somewhat hard to find, and the line took a little time, but overall this was a much better and quicker experience than I expected for the packed and popular spot that it is! The bartenders gave us a good amount of tequila for the $6 shot too. I would definitely come back!

    I always make sure to get a picture on this iconic pink background at Sonny's. It's been wonderful seeing the progress of this place over the last 3 years. They really invested in making this a lovely spot that stands apart from any other place in Omaha. Service is sub par however. Not very friendly.

    This is THE patio of the summer. Complete with games, lots of space, and incredible drinks Sonny's in Aksarben is the perfect happy hour or afternoon drink spot. You'll get your drinks quickly which gives you time to find a table, maybe next to a heater if it's cold, and enjoy your company. You will have the option for shaded seating, heated seating, and spots in the sun which provides options for everyone. Now they don't have food, but they are located right by a plethora of food options that you can bring or order to Sonny's so you don't go hungry. Park anywhere in Aksarben, walk over, and enjoy this energetic atmosphere!

    Sonny's is a great outdoor bar where there is lots of seating that is covered and uncovered from the sun! The service was really fast getting my drinks each time it would only take a few minutes after ordering. I really loved how there was live music as well. There is corn hole and a ping pong table so they are different activities to do. I loved just sitting and talking with friends while I got to enjoy the amazing weather! Both of my drinks tasted really amazing and were a bit strong. It was nice to sit and sip on them under the sun. Definitely a great place to go to in the summer! I also heard they have salsa lessons sometimes and really want to check that out. Sonny's is a great time.

    What a fun place to go for a chill weekend night out! There is a good amount of seating at this outdoor area. There is some seating under a large pergola and more tables with umbrellas. These are attached to a grassy area with some lawn games. Overall just a fun environment. There is a small bar that serves some cocktails along with high noons and beers. The pretty cocktails were refreshing and delicious. The lines for drinks can be lengthy on a busy night but it moves fairly quickly. This would be a great spot to get together with friends or family earlier in the night. It's a fun spot to sit outdoors and sip on some drinks. We went on a night where they were doing salsa lessons which was a blast!

    Outside seating is amazing in the summer with a good view of the Aksarben Village. Drinks are good and the bartenders are very friendly.

    Super cute spot. We stayed across the way at the Marriott and stumbled upon this place as we were grabbing dinner. Love the trailer that serves the drinks. The sitting area with music and games for everyone was perfect. Great concept.

    Monica D.

    What a cool concept for a quick drink and snacks. The prices were so reasonable and the drinks had great flavor. Nate and I both got Paloma's which had great flavor, a sweet heat. The popcorn was fun and made the experience even more friendly. There is lots of seating outdoor, so the summer months will make this an enjoyable hangout. They also have a cooler filled with free water, what a nice touch!

    Popcorn and Cocktails (PaC) is such a cool idea for a business…read more The interior is so cute and almost a 20s vintage vibe with a cool Omaha mural. We first visited PaC at a Yelp event, but now we are hooked on their popcorn! The cocktails portion of Popcorn and Cocktails is nothing to sneeze at either. They are super smooth and flavorful, and the perfect pairing with a little side of popcorn. They even have pairings on their menu that show you which popcorns go best with each cocktail (and each cocktail actually comes with a side of that popcorn). If you like your side of popcorn that came with your cocktail, you can also purchase a large bag of it to take home! Our favorite popcorns have been the French Toast, Bourbon Bacon Cheddar, and Peanut Butter. They have popcorns for every craving - savory or sweet. And the cocktail we've liked the best was the Summer Peach - which literally came with a peach candy on the rim! So easy to drink and a little sweet. Popcorn with cocktails might sound like an odd combination, but PaC does it perfectly and will convert you to a fan of this combo!!

It was actually better once it was a bit melted so the peanut butter can come through. The Old Fashioned and French 75 were excellent. Love the the cup of popcorn and the the flavors! What a great hook. Perfect bar for "grownups" who want a nice drink in a chill setting. It's women owned, always a plus.

I love that their menu…read morechanges so the offerings were different this time around we stopped in before a show at the Steelhouse, it was an easy walk to and from the venue. We ordered several appetizers and had drinks. The servers were friendly and the food was delicious. The Crudo was fresh and bright with a bite of spice. Burrata was soft and creamy with tamarind, orange and mint. Highly recommend the Steak Tartare the meat was velvety and the timmur chips had a great crunch for a contrast in texture. Lastly, you can't go wrong with an order of Momos, we got them steamed pork and I could have had 3 more orders. We'll definitely be back!

We started with the pork momo. We've had these before and they're always a great choice. The filling was rich and flavorful, the dumpling dough was perfectly chewy and the dipping sauces added another level of depth and flavor. For mains we split the duck breast and the tagliatelle. The duck was cooked perfectly and the bok choy that came with it added a perfect amount of crunch and mustard flavor. The tagliatelle was rich and the variety of mushrooms in the sauce added so much umami. We look forward to returning!

    Inkwell is my favorite small, moody cocktail bar in Omaha. My friend and I discovered it because…read moreit's halfway between our houses, and it quickly became our go-to spot. The Old Fashioneds are some of the best I've had anywhere, and Aaron is one of the most talented mixologists in the city. In fact, Aaron is a big reason many people keep coming back. He's exceptional at what he does, and every drink reflects that level of skill. The espresso martinis are fantastic, but the "Not Espresso Martini" was an unexpected favorite that kept us coming back. One of the things I love most is that the menu changes seasonally, giving us a reason to come back and work our way through the new cocktails to find our latest favorite. The bartenders are knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about their craft. The atmosphere is cozy, intimate, and full of character. There are actual typewriters throughout the space, which perfectly fits the literary theme and adds to the experience. As a fun touch, my friend always receives a book with her receipt and reads a random paragraph before we leave. It's those little details that make Inkwell feel like a hidden gem rather than just another bar. If you're looking for creative cocktails, talented bartenders, and a unique atmosphere, Inkwell is absolutely worth a visit. Such a vibe.

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.
