    Handsome guy drinking Jamaica
    Katie N.

    This has been a regular spot for my husband and I. We had our first date here and like to commemorate important dates here with a fun drink. We stopped by while we were downtown last week. You can expect the place to always be vibey and cool. Our drinks were both very good, but I will say our bartender seemed annoyed that I didn't order off the drink menu. A girl needed a Hugo Spritz, what can I say!

    Always a place worth visiting when in the old market. While it isn't The Wicked Rabbit, the drinks are good, service is great, and the vibe is on point for a laid back speakeasy/vintage feel.

    Once again, Berry & Rye did not disappoint. Delicious mocktails. Night Flower and Pineapple Express. Ambience is second to none and service is attentive and friendly.

    A Straw Please

    This bar is so gorgeous and the large cushy bar seats are SO comfortable. I didn't catch our bartender's name but he was really cool and we had fun chatting with him. I had the "A Straw Please" cocktail which was so refreshing and delicious. So glad I finally came here, it's gonna be my go-to spot in old market now!

    Whiskey tasting
    Camila O.

    Came here on Saturday night after dinner for a night cap, ended up having whiskey tasting tailored to our taste buds by the wonderful manager Luke, What a treat! We really enjoyed our experience here. The venue is also charming it has a speakeasy vibe.

    Kokomo
    Ankita S.

    My husband surprised me with a date night that started with drinks here and what a time! We were here early enough on a Saturday evening that we were able to snatch a table with comfortable booth-style seating tucked away in the back. The ambiance here is *chef's kiss*. It's dark and moody, the bar shelves look gorgeous, and the staff is all so nice! I ended up getting the Kokomo and oh my - it was amazing! Imagine my surprise when our waitress brought out a drink literally on fire. It was a tiki-style drink that came with a juiced lime half with a shot of rum on fire and a candied pineapple slice. The drink is made with Pisco, but the rum poured into the drink really took it up a notch. It is a bit on the sweeter side, but I feel it is well balanced with the spirits and in flavor. I will absolutely come back here! The vibes and drinks were both excellent.

    Antidote & Espresso Martini -
    Angie G.

    Very cool vibes at this bar. We were recommended to come here from one of the other local bars. So happy we stopped in. If you're looking for a fun date night this is the spot. The espresso martini was incredible. I feel like it's a drink that can easily be ruined but they made it perfect here. This would also be a perfect girls night out bar! A small side note the entrance is easy to miss!

    Great atmosphere and great service. The staff were nice and helpful with our questions. Would recommend for a place to catch up with friends and grab a drink. If you're a cocktail person they have great options. Can get busy in the evening but never waited more than 10 mins for us. It is downtown so you will have to pay for meter parking. Also, I love the magenta colored seats!

    Very chic and cozy spot. Ambiance is perfect for a night out at a classy bar with friends or a date night. The cocktail menu was diverse with drinks that had a variety of interesting ingredients and spirits. We ordered a few drinks a group, unfortunately do not remember the names of any however they were all delicious and unique. Each cocktail was beautifully crafted with interesting textures, flavors,etc. Though some drinks were unbalanced (i.e too sweet or too strong in one flavor), it was still an enjoyable experience and would certainly return to try other cocktails. The service was good and our server was knowledgeable of the menu and what to expect with each cocktail.

    Citrus cocktail with flavored foam
    Mandi C.

    Berry and Rye leans into its own quirky, trendy aesthetic -- not exactly what I'd call charming, but definitely memorable. The lighting is moody, the decor walks a line between eclectic and hip, and the winding booth-style seating has a vintage feel that adds to the whole experience, even if it's not traditionally cozy. The cocktail menu changes regularly, which keeps things interesting, but if you see a drink with foam on it -- order it, no questions asked. Every foamy creation I've tried has been incredible. I'm still dreaming about a key lime pie cocktail from a past menu that was perfectly tart, creamy, and just sweet enough. Total standout. Service is friendly, approachable, and helpful if you need some direction on what to try. Whether you're deep into mixology or just in the mood for something well-crafted, Berry and Rye is absolutely worth a stop.

    Celeste B.

    No food meñu when I went (after 9pm) but the drinks were good. Super super busy at night and NOT very spacious but the decor is gorgeous. Service 10/10. I def. Recommend.

    Unique | Tasty | Date-Night Unique - This place is truly unique because of its vibe and ambiance. It feels like an upscale cocktail bar in NYC/Chicago. The couches are purple and plush. It is a great spot to start the night with friends and is one of the few places in town that is built around "exotic cocktails." So, if you like to go on a cocktail journey - this is probably the best place in town. Tasty - The drinks are delicious. I had their mezcal-based drink on their menu which was amazing. The entire menu was pretty tempting and the general consensus around our table and the near tables was you couldn't go wrong with any of the choices. Date-Night - This is a great spot to either start a date, end a date, or have a first date. It is small enough to have intimacy. It normally is pretty quiet, allowing you to have a conversation. I'm surprised how many people have not heard about this place given it is in the heart of Old Market. If I had people visiting from out of town or wanted to impress someone - I would come here. Pro tip - challenge the mixologist. My wife asked for a smokey margarita which was not on the menu but she was feeling. The mixologist made the best smokey margarita she's ever had. Pro tip - there is some street parking in front of the property. But, it normally is not available during prime hours.

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. I came to Omaha looking for somewhere to work and left feeling like I had discovered one of the city's hidden gems. I couldn't ask for a better place to spend my time.
