    Turns out when you bring two people, you get to try 12 instead of 4. Thanksgiving brews are the special drafts; stuffing, pecan pie (my fave), and cranberry sour. Thanksgiving pizza was good--a light turkey, seasoned stuffing, and sweet cranberry vibe. Fungi and sausage pizza was a legit backup too. Service was great and atmosphere was laid back and warm.

    Great selection of beers! More than just IPAs which we appreciate, but they do have them if that's your thing! The pizza here is AMAZING with good crust and the pub pretzels are amazing. And. Very beautiful bar with helpful bartenders.

    This was a super fun stop during restaurant week! Again this place is super close to my house but I've never stopped in before. I did the restaurant week special and got the truffle popcorn (which I'm still thinking about), one of the pesto vegan pizzas (add sausage), and the apple dessert. I was super happy with the vegan pizzas (I'm not even vegan), and the crust. I tried a few beers and was able to find an IPA that really hit the spot. I also tried the seasonal pumpkin beer which was soooo autumnal and spicy. I loved it. But seriously get the truffle popcorn.

    Such a wonderful experience at Vis. Been going here for many years and just such a nice community based brewery. With many beers on tap they have beers for everyone. We got two of their pizzas and their truffle popcorn. The truffle popcorn is a must have appetizer! I got the Goonie Pizza which is their version of a crab Rangoon pizza. Perfect amount of crab and sauce. Also the bacon pizza is their version of a BLT. They drizzle mayo on the top of it that just makes it that much better. T

    A group of 6 of us came in around 7pm and we were easily able to snag a table. The staff was very attentive and got our drink and food orders taken. I didn't get many pictures. I had The Goonie which was really good with a cream cheese base, crab meat, and sweet chili sauce. A couple of friends are vegetarian and vegan, and we're easily accommodated with their pizza and nachos selection. Great beers!

    Came here for the beer, and enjoyed the New England IPA (Tis this be Treason). Wasn't a huge fan of their version of a Belgian Tripel, but I won't hold that against them, that's a tough one to nail it seems. I would definitely come here more if they offered a good happy hour. Food was typical bar food, just something to munch on while having a beer, I went with chicken nachos and they did the job. Inside is a cool space, with a really well done bar, and even some seating that looks out onto the street. Also has some tables available for seating. Service was average, just one bartender serving beers, not overly friendly or engaging, but not rude.

    I went to Vis Major on a Friday evening for a beer. All of their options looked so good that I had to get a flight. I was able to try the gose, a dark IPA, a Mexican lager, and a sour that had edible glitter in it. The staff at the bar were very friendly and were able to recommend some of their more popular beers on tap. There's a lot of seating at the bar or at other tables and there seems to be a lot of cool events like trivia going on weekly.

    I want to start off by saying I'm not the biggest fan of this place, yet so many people I talk to enjoy it. With that said, I'll boost my rating to four stars because not everyone is a perfect fit for every place. Vis Major has always been operated well from what I have seen. The staff is super friendly. The place is super comfortable. It is clean. The beer is never a hit with me. They always have a very good variety but I don't love it. I want to, but I don't. For this visit, we tried the pizza because so many friends talk it up. Again, not a super hit. We ordered the pizza of the month, which had marinara, olive salad, salami, Capicola, mozzarella, and tomatoes. The crust was good. The pizza was lukewarm. The toppings were just right in terms of quantity. They get credit for creativity with their specialty pizzas, that's for sure. I will especially enjoy reading about people's first visit at Vis Major to learn about their experience.

    This was another place I've been meaning to try ever since I've moved back to Omaha and with the nudge from my aunt, we both went and were very pleased with our visit. We actually attempted to go previously, but we didn't pay attention to their hours and had to go a different day. This is one of those places that I like to call it nice and quaint. I will start off with the bad first. It really wasn't that busy, and it did take time for someone to recognize us and for us to be served. But it did give us time to see what we wanted, so it was something that I can overlook. I did like it that it was nice and quiet. It was a nice place to chill at. I started off with the surprisingly good Almighty Imperial Stout (see my pic) that comes with a big, toasted marshmallow. And then I followed that up with an even slightly better choice of Elder's Cup, which is a spiced herb beer. My aunt ordered a pepperoni pizza (see my pic) which i tried and really enjoyed. Overall, I was really impressed by my first. I just wish they were open earlier.

    This place is amazing!! Started off with the truffle oil popcorn which is amazing!! Then had some brews mixed in between which all were amazing. Service was quick and everyone was super nice. The ambiance was perfect for a little late night drink and grub.

    I've visited Vis Major a few times now, and I enjoy it more and more every time! It's a small place in a neighborhood, but always seems to be plenty of parking on the side street. It's small inside, but offers a welcoming and casual vibe. They have a pretty unique food menu, my favorite bar snack here is the truffle popcorn, an addicting savory treat! Don't' sleep on the pizzas!! They do a special every month, but the Goonie (crab rangoon inspired) is so delicious! The real star of the show here is the beer though! The variety of styles, flavors, and colors is sure to please any craft beer lover! I especially enjoyed the Glitter Dreamlover on my last visit, which is a floral sour with edible glitter in it! This brewery is a must visit for any craft beer lover in Omaha!

    Vis Major is another of Omaha's fantastic breweries tucked away in Hanscom Park/Field Club. They were a pretty popular place, even on a Sunday evening, so I can't imagine how popular it is on a Friday or Saturday night. However, the bartenders and servers are very attentive and kind. The beers were delicious and they have a nice variety of beers available. The street nachos were similarly delicious and came out very quickly. It was a bit loud, making conversations a bit difficult, which was my only complaint about my visit. I'll definitely be back

    Excellent selection of craft beers! And the bourbon bbq pizza was fantastic! Friendly service…read more(order at the bar then either sit there or go find a table). They have a variety of games, like Yahtzee, Jenga, Shut the Box, etc that you can play at your table for free. On the weekend, the kitchen has a more limited late night menu. Still a good selection of appetizers and pizza as well as all the beers. Definitely will be back!

    First impressions? Huge, bright dining room! Almost distractingly so. But let's be honest--I didn't…read morecome to Backlot Taphouse for the square footage. I came for the Detroit-style pizza, easily the most underrated pizza style there is. If you know, you know. I ordered The Cadillac: cream cheese, cherry peppers, hot honey. On paper, it's chaos. In practice? A beautifully thought-out balance of sweet and spicy. Rich without being heavy, heat without going overboard. Someone in that kitchen gets it. And for a moment, it's flirting with greatness. Almost a perfectly executed Detroit pie... until the crust. That signature Detroit crisp--the caramelized, fried-edge crunch--is just a little undercooked. Not bad, but quickly soggy. Just missing that final snap that makes this style elite. Still, credit where it's due. This is a valiant effort, and not an easy style to pull off outside its home turf. I see you, Omaha. You're closer than you think!
