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.

I've been to Inkwell Bar many times and it's been a reliable go-to for a while now. 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.

My boyfriend and I were staying at Hotel Indigo and happened upon Anna's Place during our stay, and…read morewe were very impressed! The ambience is very neat, and the backstory of the inspiration for Anna's Place was compelling as a history lover. The sultry vibes and dim lighting made this the perfect spot for drinks before our Valentine's dinner. Our server was the absolute sweetest and she gave the best recommendation for me as someone who can be picky about drinks. She recommended the most delicious drink, which unfortunately I forgot the name for, but it was impeccable. I would love to come back here again!

The cocktails themselves were fun and unique. It's cool to see a sake cocktail bar in Omaha. There was a DJ that played pretty good songs and remixes.

The sun was shining, which, with all the windows, tables, and couches, is a total vibe. I was the first guest of the day and was greeted by a few folks, very welcoming. My guest and I had to co work a little bit before lunch. The server was really gracious and didn't hurry us along. I tried the blackened chicken sando, and it was fantastic! A great chicken to bread ration with a tasty slaw on top. I opted for the side apple salad, and it was truly a perfect mix of greens and protein and carbs, my macros were on point. Overall, a great service with great food. We'll definitely be back.

Once inside, I was in awe of how beautiful decorated and fun it is! I loved the streamers for Mardi Gras, a fun homage to Herbe Sainte's Cajun roots! The ambiance was so classy and bright, with gorgeous floor to ceiling windows. I ended up ordering the Cajun Style Mac & Cheese, which was great! It was the perfect serving size and not too spicy, while still having great flavor. Our server was very attentive and the food was super speedy! I would love to come back here again for brunch sometime, and was overall left impressed.

The host of this fine establishment contacted me when I lamented an absence of a dry sparkling, and she was so charming that I now no longer wish to partake elsewhere for such. We'll be back.

I recently visited the Cottonwood Room and came away underwhelmed. The space itself is nice, and…read morethe tree at the center of the bar is genuinely cool--but if you're seated off to the side, that focal point doesn't really translate into the overall vibe. Drinks are expensive for what you get. I tried their premium old-fashioned, and honestly, it was no better than a standard old-fashioned elsewhere. Nothing wrong with it, just nothing memorable--certainly not at that price point. Service was slow, which was surprising given that it was a quiet night. On top of that, since the bar is in the hotel basement, there's no cell service. The Wi-Fi password I was given didn't work, which made the experience more frustrating than it needed to be. Overall, it's a visually interesting space, but the combination of pricing, slow service, and connectivity issues made it not my favorite bar experience.
