As a pro tip, check Reverb's schedule frequently, cross reference with Spotify and decide whether to attend. Some of these acts are up and coming and the ticket prices are almost always quite inexpensive. An excellent selection of beverages including local beers and your el cheapo ones (Busch Light, Lite, etc). Reasonable prices on the beer and cocktails. Service is also good and they manage the bar crowd well.

It had been a few years since I'd last visited, mostly because of the construction and parking hassles in Blackstone, but the new parking structure makes it so much easier now.

If you like an Aperol spritz but want to change up the flavor, this is perfect!! It's definitely got some liquor in it, strong but not overpoweringly so, which I would hope for given the price. Their staff is always nice and gets orders out as fast as they can, sometimes it takes a bit because of the line, but they keep up pretty well! Their upgrades to the seating area are great, even more comfy chairs and shade to enjoy a nice evening.

They have Thursday and Friday night live music if I am not mistaken, so come out and enjoy the night life. You order at the front counter, get handed a buzzer, then pick up your order at the counter. They have a seasonal selection which they slightly switch up each year. I had the frozen strawberry limeade, alongside the frozen strawberry lemonade with the limeade being my favorite! Not overly sweet and great natural tasting strawberry flavor. Alongside the green space you can sit under the covered area although there is limited covered seating so come prepared.

I'd been wanting to check out Oto HiFi Lounge for a while, but intentionally waited until some of…read morethe opening hype died down since it's such a small space. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and think it's a really unique concept for Omaha. When I first arrived, they were spinning a mix of random records, which I loved and felt like it fit the vibe perfectly. Later in the evening, the DJ took over, and the music just wasn't really my style. That's obviously a matter of personal preference, but it definitely changed the atmosphere for me. The hi-fi listening lounge concept is very cool, though I think the space could use a little more decor or ambiance to make it feel warmer and more immersive. The drinks were well made, but the prices felt a bit high for what you get. That said, I'm glad I finally checked it out and would definitely go back. Next time, I'll probably pay a little more attention to who's DJing before I go.

Omaha desperately needed something new and fun, and Oto delivered and surpassed expectations. I saw…read moreseveral TikToks promoting the opening weekend of Oto, and immediately made plans with my boyfriend and our friends to come the next weekend. We have never had a hifi lounge in Omaha, and as a lover of live music, vinyl, and indie music, I was intrigued. When we arrived as a group of 5, there was a waitlist, which was expected with how popular the opening has been; I was pleased with the organization of Oto, and they already had an app with SMS notifications for the waitlist, which made it super simple to wait in the car until we were in the clear to enter. I really appreciated the foresight they had, since it was very chilly outside and we were able to keep our spot while waiting somewhere warm. Oto is very small, but has a ton of seating and a variety in the space, whether it is bar stools, a couch lining the wall, or some taller seating in the corner. It was packed when we arrived, but we were eventually able to sit and enjoy the DJ set. Drinks were definitely on the pricier side, but the bartender was speedy and helpful. Out of the 4 drinks me and my friend tried, 3 were absolute hits; one was too strong, but her and I prefer lighter drinks and there was still a variety of options. The DJ played some of the best music I have ever heard on a night out. If you prefer indie music or maybe RNB, this is the place. The DJ played everything from Bjork, Sade, Free Nationals, Charli XCX, to Gorillaz. When Empire Ants came on I felt like I finally discovered a place that caters to different music tastes rather than the same old. It was refreshing and fun to be in a space with other music lovers, and I absolutely will come again!

But that was the highlight I was most looking forward to. There wasn't much flavor of anything else, either. Even the chili spice sugar garnish on the rim was lackluster. Pity. Decor was okay, but it smelled kind of sour inside, as if cleaning hadn't been done properly or often. Same with the seating outdoors--dingy, sagging, unkempt. Bar area seemed a bit disorganized, and something sticky was on the outside of my drink that got on my hands right as I received it. Service was friendly but just okay--it wasn't too busy when we arrived, and we still had to wait an incommensurate amount of time for drinks. Overall, not much to impress. Recommend a pass on this place.

For reference, it's across the street from 11-worth Cafe (because all Yelpers know where that is!). Mark, the owner of Emmet's, has made some major changes to the place already and there are big plans for this place to make it your next new hangout. Plentiful tables in this wide open place. It's much bigger inside than what it looks from the outside. A roller door is along the front to let fresh air in on a nice day/night. A billiards table is here along with a couple of dart boards for those cricket fans out there. Another room behind the bar has shuffleboard. Cool, huh? Great staff here and a decent selection of your favorite brew and a good selection of distilled spirits. The bar, where the bartender stands, is good sized while flat screen TVs adorn the walls above said bar. Sure you have the old school beers (Old Style, PBR) but also some of the more classy ones (Lagunitas IPA and others). This place will become popular; it just has that vibe to it already! I'll be back again soon.

The cocktail menu is full of creative tropical drinks, and the atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out!

We went on a mini road trip to Des Moines from Kansas City and this was the first spot we visited! Every corner has its own personality, making it just as fun to look around as it is to sip your drink.

The drinks were good -- strong pours and reasonably priced -- so no complaints there. But let's just say it reminded me exactly why I don't usually venture out to West O. The vibe was... interesting. Picture a room full of married men flirting a little too hard with the bartenders (who ignored me lol) while ordering endless rounds of Red Bull vodkas. Not really my scene. If you're looking for a place to grab a drink and people-watch, it might be worth a stop. But if you're hoping for a fun, relaxed Halloween night out -- maybe keep this one off your must-visit list. The one drink I did have was really good though!
