There were quite a few people in front of us when we arrived, but we only ended up waiting about 30 minutes or so. When we got into the Wicked Rabbit, the ambiance was awesome. We were seated at the bar, and really enjoyed watching the bartenders work their magic. We struck up some conversations with those around us, and just had a great time. The drinks were all amazing, and this is a must visit in the Omaha area. I will be back for sure.

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!

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.

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 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.

It was clear they didn't consider the situation important enough to look into, so that was really discouraging as an IHG hotels member and have spent a fair amount of money here over the past several years.
