The bar was pretty full so the hostess suggested I go to the upstairs bar. Waited almost ten minutes for a bartender to come out. Unfortunately the bartender didn't have the canned drink I wanted so she had to go downstairs. I ordered some fish tacos. A few other people came and sat at the bar after me and ordered food and drinks. Their food started arriving but not mine. After 30 minutes the bartender said she would go downstairs and check on it. The tacos were fine. Not terrible but not great. I asked for the check but she ran out of paper in the register. She got a partial print out of my bill and asked me to just sign it. I said no I needed a receipt for work. So I waited another 15 until she could find somebody to help her with the register paper. I might go back if I was with friends but I would order something else and I would not want her as a bartender.

I actually fell in love with their Grand Cru back in 2007. It used to be a must-visit spot whenever I was passing through Omaha. Truth be told this latest visit felt a bit sad. The place just seems tired these days. The beers were okay but nothing really stood out on the creative side. They did have that Space Monkey Biermosa on the board but it just did not sound appealing to me. The food was decent enough. I ordered the jambalaya and it was pretty good. It had some nice subtle heat and the shrimp were cooked well. My wife went with the Mediterranean chicken but it was a bit of a letdown. It was dry and frankly quite bland. My son had the Blonde pizza and he did not have any complaints about his choice. I really hope they find some new fire soon. It feels like things are trending in the wrong direction every time I stop by. On the bright side our waiter with the red hair was an absolute rockstar. He provided great service and was definitely the highlight of the night. I wish I had remembered his name. We will see if we stop by next time we are on the road.

Location in an old building in the old market is a great ambience.

The ONLY thing that was a downside is that on yelp it says the restaurant is pet friendly and that is not the case.

When you are here - don't you dare drink a basic beer! I tried the raspberry jalapeño and it was delicious and no, not burning spicy, just the flavor of jalepeno at the end. My parter tried their summer cider, and it was slightly dry, fruity, and bubbly. For an Omaha Burger, this is one of my go-to's from here on out. Casual vibe, incredibly fair pricing, and a wide variety of flavors to try.

(Why would you choose bottom shelf ?!?) They also have $2 domestics on Tuesday's. Wednesday's are Whiskey Wednesday's. The bartenders are friendly and obviously know the locals well. They do not serve food, but there is a Mexican food truck in the parking lot, and they welcome folks bringing food in or having food delivered. They have DJ's on the weekend which is going to be liked or not based on personal preference, but during the week days, like at many places, you can choose what music you want to listen to. They have 4-6 tv's and have sports playing when there are games or golf. They will change them to what you want to watch if no one objects. They also have 2-3 pool tables that are in pretty decent condition. The crowd until about 7 pm during the week are business people who are leaving the downtown area or heading home from work. After that you start to see more neighborhood folks coming in. I have never experienced any problems, and people have always been very friendly. That said, I have not gone on the weekends for many years.

We have come here three out of four nights and so far have met the owner Kurt and bartenders Yeremy, Lindsey, Josie, and Devin. Damn this place is so chill and no hassle changing TVs to your favorite game. And if you're from out of town for the World Series, you're going to be amazed at how inexpensive the drinks are - tip the shit out of the hot bartenders and drink your face off with local vibe. You don't have to be a regular to feel like a regular - people are so cool. Parking is limited so Uber here. They have pool tables, darts, and they are very dog friendly. There is no food, but there is a food truck across the street. I've been to 1,000 bars in 100 cities, and I don't review unless I love a place 5 star. See my other shit. This place is legit. Dig it!

Except, we found out, during CWS week when all they play are the games. Not surprising, but a little bummed they weren't playing the KC Current game we tried to catch at a few places. We came on a Saturday evening and must have come during happy hour, because when my husband came back with the beers, he had a stack of quarters they gave him to play the games they have there. It's a happy hour special, I guess, a cool touch! They have Whisky Wednesday with 25% off whisky drinks, and a surprisingly big selection of some good whisky and bourbons. Service was a bit slow even though there weren't many people there, but only one bartender and people were ordering cocktails so it took her longer. I like the little booths set up with your own TV, this would be a great place to come watch a soccer match!

In my opinion, Benson is the place to do a bar crawl (sorry Old Market). St. Andrews is next to Beercade, and on the main part of the Benson strip. It was really busy when we entered (bar #3 on our stops) at around 11pm on a Saturday. There was lot of loud music, games of darts going down, and TVS tuned to SNL and ESPN. I tried an apricot saison that I enjoyed a lot. The beer menu is a mix of unique things like my saison, but you can get a tall boy Coors here as well. No food or food menu that I saw, but friendly enough staff and $4-5 beers which is fair. This bar is not insanely unique from others on the strip, but proposes another watering hole for Benson visitors to get their fill of fun.
