Didn't eat but I had a beer. First I got the Malt-Balanced "suggested flight". All 4 were ok but the Afterglow White Stout was REALLY good. The atmosphere is exceptional. Located in an old warehouse building, it's spacious yet cozy. The bartender was very nice and helpful with recommendations. And amazingly, they have a full liquor bar and kitchen. I feel comfortable here. I'm coming back soon. read more

Upstream Brewing - The bar area. - Bars Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This place was pretty cool. I really liked the look and the feel inside and we wound up going to the rooftop to enjoy some Apps and drinks. I like the option to get the Beer flight since they had 4 different IPAs and I wanted to try them all. I got the hot wings which weren't my favorite but they were still alright. The other people in my party tried the Bavarian Pretzel Bites and the Pretzel Encrusted Fried Cheese Curds which were both pretty good. Overall, I'd come back for some apps because I love breweries and this one has pretty good App options, I mean who doesn't love fried food read more

I've been here many times and figured it's probably about time to write a review. I have never had a bad experience here. Sometimes the service is a little less than stellar but it's never horrible. The food is always fantastic! I get a cup or bowl of the Beer Cheese soup every. single. time and often order the Pickle Chips or Pretzel Bites as an app as well. I don't have a favorite entrée - Pizza, Burgers, Fish and Chips, Corned Beef and Cabbage Special on St. Paddy's Day... all good. Get the brulee for dessert! read more

We held our daughter's engagement party at the Old Market location in the North Pool Hall, and it was amazing! Food was amazing, ambiance was perfect, but the best part was the staff! Logan,and Jason were our serving team and they were fantastic, and so helpful! Maria our catering manager, and event manager was amazing, and very detailed! We would highly recommend Upstream Brewing for any of your family's events, it was amazing!! Thank you to their team, as it made the event special! read more

Our experience was awful. We were there after a national championship game. They cannot accommodate anyone. We waited over an hour for a cold steak and the worst mashed potatoes you've ever seen. We had to leave. Do not recommend. read more

Living in Omaha, I have been to the Upstream Brewing Company many times. However, it is been quite sometime since I've been there and figured it was about time I should review it! Today I went for a business dinner at 5 o'clock. They were having happy hour, however, you had to be sitting at the bar to get it. While I totally understand this rule, I wish that it wasn't this way considering the Upstream is so busy that a lot of times you can't sit at the bar in the first place. Our server, Joshua, stated that he had only been there for a week. This is pretty surprising considering his knowledge on the food and how well he did with us. Drinks were refilled in a timely manner and he was very patient with us considering that he knew we were going to sit there for a while. Based on my boss' recommendation, we had the artichoke and asiago spinach dip to start. It was amazing! Being kind of an artichoke and spinach dip snob, I had my doubts. My doubts were definitely laid to rest after trying the huge toasted bread points with this creamy goodness! My boss had the falafel pita what she said was really good. I had the chicken sandwich on a pretzel bun. The chicken sandwich was good, but, I wouldn't say it was an amazing. I really liked the balsamic glaze on it, however, I don't think that is something I would order again. It just seemed a little bland even with all of the toppings. Overall I would say we had a good experience with good food and a great waiter! Happy eating Yelpers! read more

The sports bars nearby were packed and my 77 year old mother didn't want the crowd to watch the Chiefs. We took a chance they'd have a TV with the game on and they did. This is by far not a sports bar but an upscale brewery with a casual atmosphere. The service was friendly and professional. The food is excellent. My father ordered the pork schnitzel. He's lived in Germany with the Army and it took him back. The fish and chips is listed on the menus as "famous" and I'll agree they should be. The Mac n Cheese could feed a small village. This was a pleasant surprise on our trip to Omaha. read more

This place has a soft spot in my heart because we had our rehearsal dinner here, but sometimes the food is hit and miss. We stopped in Saturday afternoon for some apps and cold drinks on the patio - finally some spring weather to enjoy! Plus the Old Market never disappoints for people watching. There was a small hiccup when we first got seated about whether it was open seating our not but our server made up for it by being awesome. Drinks were really good. We tried a seasonal - Space Monkey Biermosa. It was exactly what I had hoped, like a refreshing combo of beer and OJ. My husband had a wheat beer which was also good. We tried the pretzel bites and gouda mustard sauce and the fried pickles. The pretzel bites were pretty standard. (Nothing beats the ones at The Walnut.) But unfortunately the pickles tasted like fried fish, likely from the oil and we didn't finish them. I would give the beer and service a 4 though. read more

Great brunch. Service and food quality were both excellent. We sampled egg dishes and crepes.

Stopped in for lunch, was very impressed with the safety practices still in place. Sampled a couple beers and ordered an ale. Good, crisp flavor with a fresh taste. Had a bowl of beer cheese soup and grilled salmon for my meal. Everything was served at a perfect temperature and very prompt. Bar service was excellent. Have not been here for a few years as I had been trying other brew houses, my mistake as it was like an old friend, reliable and welcome. read more

We went to Upstream Brewing a month ago while we were in Omaha visiting the zoo. And I am so glad we did! Patrick, our server, was fantastic! He was friendly and very helpful. The food was delicious. I had fish and chips, I was a little apprehensive because I am very picky when it comes to this dish, and it did not disappoint! My husband had jambalaya and was happy as well. We took home some beer bread which was also delicious. Not only was the food good, the beer was as well. Our children loved the root beer. The ambiance was fun with the playing cards on the ceiling. I 100% recommend! read more

Thank you to the amazing staff at Upstream Brewing Company for saving the night for our celebration of my Bride's 50th Birthday meal. M's Pub completely let us down. They confirmed reservation with us via email for 6:30 tonight. We got dressed up and walked from the Hyatt Place to M's. We arrived at 6:15PM only to find the doors locked and the chairs up on the table. Found out that they decided to close today and did not contact us. Donelle was heartbroken. One of her wishes for her 50th was to eat at M's. She wanted to share it with our son. She was seriously excited about this celebratory meal. M's incompetence and disregard for it's clientele really brought her down. The hostess/floor manager at Upstream and our Server Rich fixed that. They ensured that we received a table as quickly as possible despite a 60 minute walk in wait. The Boy's Mac and Cheese with smoked ham and blackened chicken provided two meals, my Tuscan Shrimp Pasta had just the right doneness on the pasta and the shrimp and the sauce was to die for. The wife loved her Filet. Done to perfection with a great sauce providing nice burnt notes and acidity. Amazing service, great food, a tasty cocktail & a free desert brought a smile to her face. Thank you again gang. You didn't just salvage the night, you made it great. read more

Pretty good casual place. Decent food and beer, we had good service. Big place, probably good for groups.

Had a couple of glasses of wine and a hummus platter for a late Friday afternoon nosh. Patrick provided great service and was a good way to spend an hour or so out of the sticky heat. read more

Sadly the food was just not good. I had the pork chop and it was burnt. It was also dry and hot in a weird way. I've cooked professionally in the past and it's almost as if the finished the pork chop in a microwave. They tried to hide it under a grainy sauce. I would just go somewhere else next time. read more

Having never been here, we were excited to end what was a beautiful day having dinner on the rooftop patio. Having been in the industry a long time, I appreciate when my server automatically brings me water. Our server did just that. She explained the beer menu and we ordered one. The beer was delicious and refreshing. We liked the variety of the menu, but we wish we received the correct one. When we went to order, the server realized she gave us the lunch menu when she should have given us the dinner menu. Unknowingly, we had already decided on the Raspberry Glazed Chicken Breast and the Falafel Sandwhich. However, when she pointed out we had the wrong menus, she didn't give us a chance to look over the dinner menu. So there may have been something else we wanted but weren't given the opportunity to look, even though we asked. Food was delicious. However, the service was slow and multitasking seemed like a struggle for the server. We understood she was busy, as the patio was seating all at once. We wished there had been a second server. We will come back again for sure, as I'm always willing to give somewhere a second chance. Service may have been slow, but she was friendly and the food and drink were delicious. read more

Upstream Brewing - Grilled New York Strip Steak - Bars Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Perfectly done medium rare New York Strip. The Asiago dipping sauce was a nice surprise. Good atmosphere, good brews, highly recommend if you are in Old Market. There is very limited parking in Old Market, so that's a bit of a bummer, but no reflection on the food or beer here. They use Omaha Steaks (they say on the menu), so if you are familiar with that outfit's quality of beef, you will not be disappointed. Overall, good steakhouse/brew pub! read more

This place is great. The service was great. The beer is great. The atmosphere is great. Seriously everything I ate on the menu was amazing. Valarie was amazing the other waitress we had not so much she was rude and complained the whole time my group was there. But everything beside the other waitress was great. We had a great time the prices were reasonable and I really enjoyed my time at this place! Highly recommend you making Thai stop if you're in tow read more

I know this is kind of cheesy, but the cheese curds were out of this world! great service too :-)

I had the pork schnitzel at Upstream brewery. The portion size is huge. You get 2 large pork tenderloins on top of mashed potatoes and enough vegetables to serve 2 people, maybe even 3. While I was happy for the variety in vegetables, personally it was a bit much and the vegetables were hard.The mashed potatoes however were excellent. They tasted like they had cheese or something in it. It was creamy and well seasoned. The pork tenderloins themselves were tender but could probably do with more seasoning. The service was excellent. I was served within 15mins of sitting down and my waiter was very attentive and helpful. The atmosphere was nice- casual, open restaurant. Everyone was very polite. read more

Went here on Mother's Day evening. Prompt seating. That was the last time we're acknowledged by any staff.....even when we walked out over five minutes later no one said a word. Over five servers were huddled near a station talking and checking phones. Four-five more walked by our table, we were right at the top of the steps. We ended up enjoying V Mertz instead. read more

Upstream continues to be one of our favorites. They have a varied menu so we can get different items at different times, depending on what our mood is. Besides their in-house beer they carry a weekly "favorites". We always enjoy what they offer. The server staff continually changes as is common for restaurants, but Upstream somehow maintains their great service. Planning on returning next week with an "out-of-town" friend who is a 'craft-beer" aficionado. I know he will enjoy the visit. read more

Grabbed a quick bite with a buddy on a Tuesday night. It's a big restaurant. Sat upstairs and not too far from a very large group. Wasn't terribly loud, the sticky table got me more. Ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich, which was ok (it was more like a schnitzel in a bun) and enjoyed their beer. Prices are very fair considering it's Old Market, so I'll try to go back again when I'm in the area. read more

Upstream Brewing - Pork Sandwich - Bars Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Upstream is consistent; and the food consistently mediocre but for some people that's all you need. I think perhaps the menu is too big to do anything really well besides beer. I do love the set up of the restaurant; with a rooftop seating area, multiple bars seating options, large seating for big groups, billiards, and their brewing equipment is on display to watch the magic happen. Not being a huge beer person I dont have much to contribute other than if I drink there I usually get an old fashioned or the firehouse red. Service is always good and they have specials that helps to mix up the regular menu. read more

Good spot. My fiancé and I were visiting from out of state and saw that this brewery was rated top 5 in the city. Since it was close to our hotel, we decided to walk down and see what was up. Overall atmosphere was pretty good. It is a massive space, even with Covid regulations it would have no issue accommodating large groups. My fiancé is not a beer drinker, but she got a margarita that she loved. I got the flight of 12, and this is where they lose a star. I understand that as a brewery you only brew so much, but it is a bit of a pain to have to sub 2 beers because they are out of stock. It was not a huge deal because I just got some soft housemade root beer- which was awesome. My fiancé got the Mac n cheese with chicken added and she loved it. I got the Rueben which was good; just a normal Rueben. We also got the Poutine which was amazing! It was my fiancé's first time having it. The beers overall were very good. I highly recommend the key lime radler if you want something with lower ABV (3.8%). If you like sour beers, you'll love this one. A higher ABV beer I really enjoyed was the Dundee Scotch Ale (6.6%). Dark, yet extremely smooth. Devine. Also reasonably priced. The flight of 12 beers was only 15 dollars, which is a steal. I've been to some breweries where their flight of 4 is the same price. read more

Very nice place. GREAT for a group --Mac and cheese was a favorite of the group. My salmon was done perfectly --it's pricey but they got us right in. Service was great and food was good. Pizza was not a fav, and the stroganoff got only an "okay" wedge salad was overdressed but ambiance is great and the beer is cold so overall a nice experience read more

Great friendly bar service. Beer was kind of hit and miss. A couple of hits we tried were Monkey Business which is a milkshake hefe. Also liked the Savoy Truffle which is a s'mores stout. The cask conditioned flagship ipa was oddly warm and not great. Seems like a fun place. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. read more

Amazing beer and amazing steak. Staff was very kind and knowledgeable. They had suggestions for me to check out during my stay in Omaha. The bartenders, Nate and Whitney, told me all about the beer they brewed and made me feel right at home. Must check this place out! Order the filet! It is massive and an incredible value. read more

Good place for dinner in Omaha. This restaurant is big, with multiple levels and a lot of seating. It's great for groups. They have long and round tables. 3 stars - Blonde pizza with mushrooms. Alfredo white sauce, cheese, sliced tomatoes, chopped basil, and I opted for mushrooms instead of the chicken. The crust was a cracker like crust that I really liked! The white sauce was a little runny, and the toppings were sliding off the pizza as I ate it. It could have used more cheese too. They have a variety of options on their menu, so anyone can find something to order. read more

I've been here a few times now and have not been disappointed. On top of the usual national and local thirst-quenching brews, the menu has a lot of variety and the food is quite good. My favorite dish here is a schnitzel, made with pork tenderloin medallions with mashed potatoes, gravy, and vegetables. I've also had the beef braised pot roast and the beef Stroganoff. All are very tasty and filling. We've brought guests here and the prices are very reasonable. It's one of our regular spots. read more

Pass on this place! We're in town for the weekend and made a reservation for dinner. We had multiple tables and one of the servers was rude, as in rolled her eyes when someone in the group asked her a question. Split checks shouldn't be difficult to figure out, or difficult to distribute. The server was confused about the splits and gave people incorrect checks after she split them. So the service was rude and the food was about the same. I ordered the daily special, red snapper with farrow. The fish wasn't flaky and was actually almost impossible to cut. I would have taken a picture, but it wouldn't have shown up. It was tough and didn't separate at all. The server brought it back to the kitchen. Their second attempt was not much better. The fish was able to be cut, but it was still chewy and had no flavor. The farrow was good, but I wouldn't have ordered $24 farrow. Someone else ordered a pizza and said it tasted bland and was chewy. No one enjoyed their food and we all agreed that the food wasn't worth the rude service. I wouldn't go back and I would warn people against eating here. Rude service and inedible food are not good qualities for a restaurant. read more
