I am an unofficial beer aficionado. I have traveled the country hitting many a brewery and I think I've finally found nirvana in Omaha, Nebraska. Wow just wow. There's something for everyone here and each beer is totally unique. Kros Strain has lifted the bar. If I could bring liquids on the plane trip home my suitcase would certainly be overweight by hundreds of pounds. read more

Awesome spot! Came for a drink or two and ended up with four. Played bingo and had a lot of fun as the crowd gets involved with certain number callouts. The beer was delicious and there's lots of seating for any type of group. Didn't get to try any of the neighboring food spots but I'm sure they'd be nice to grab and wash down with a beer. read more

I love Kros - one of my favorite breweries in Omaha! The taproom in Millwork Commons is always fun to visit. It's a low-key spot, and their trivia nights are a lot of fun. I always love trying the beers on tap and the variety they offer. In the summer, one of my favorites is the Tan Limes. Inside, there are tables and plenty of bar seating. I love sitting out on their patio in the summer, too. The tables have QR code signs to order food from Nomad Jack's. By scanning the QR code, they'll bring your food right to the table, and you can order and pay from your phone. Every time I visit, the bartenders are great, being super attentive and taking our order quickly. I love to see the different options on tap that rotate every so often so that I can try something new. Definitely check out Kros if you're looking for a great local brewery! read more

Can't say enough, good things about this place. A lot of breweries you end up with great beer or great atmosphere and environment but not both. This place has it all. Really gotta give it to Sarah the bartender though she was great with beer suggestions and service. If I'm ever back in Omaha I'll be back. Added a new beer sign to my basement! read more

Great local brewery with a wide assortment of excellent beers. Nearby pizza place ordering and delivery.

This was a fun place to hang out during the CWS! We came for Dingerville and were just a little disappointed that it wasn't busier. We came on a Monday during the afternoon game though, so that was to be expected I guess. It ended up picking up at the end of the game, around 4:30 or so. In past years, we've loved Dingerville and love that Kros Strain picked it up after Rosenblatt. I had the frozen rum drink and it was super tasty! A bit sweet, and I definitely wanted another one but the strength crept up on me. I tried the frozen peanut butter and jelly drink but that wasn't a hit. The beers were good, my husband had the Dingerville and Tan Limes, the latter was nice and limey. He even commented he was worried it would be bitter but was pleasantly surprised. To me, very much NOT a beer aficionado, the beers both smelled kind of odd. I don't know enough about beer to know what the smell was, but it was just a weird thing I noticed that made me not really want to drink much of it. So I stuck with my frozen drink and it was great! It was nice sitting inside as an escape from the heat but the vibes of Dingerville were too fun to stay inside the whole time. I liked that you can order food from other Millwork restaurants into KS, a fun combo of businesses there. read more

Popped in for a quick beer after dinner. Staff was so friendly! Everything was clean and well maintained. Oh, and the beer was amazing!

As usual, this team is full of pros, who can handle busy event days. I stopped in during a busy crowd day and still had excellent service, and all the beers we ordered were still on tap and not sold out. It's a huge space and can hold a lot of people. Lots of TV's on for sports too. read more

I really hate to give this place and our experience a 2-star review, but the lack of service, blatant disrespect, anti-social vibe, and overpriced bar snacks really made our sour beer afternoon adventure into an overall "sour" experience. We had gone in as part of a Yelp Elite event. The check-in offer did not mention having to buy one and then get your second beer free. The email from the community manager even reminded us to not forget cash to tip the bartender. Why would that have even been stated if the expectation was to have to open a bar tab anyways? Not a huge deal--we had already discussed and planned to stick around for at least a couple or a few beers. Our bartender--maybe Bryan? I can't confirm since he didn't offer his name and I didn't ask--was not a warm, friendly bartender, he didn't not attempt to have any conversation with us or other patrons sitting at the bar, and he did not create a very welcoming environment. Had I known this, I would have much rather sat by the entrance and weathered the cold air instead of his cold demeanor. I tried to ask him about the beer we had ordered, and instead of acknowledging/answering my question, asking me to hold on, or even circling back later, he completely ignored me. I'd have asked a second time because one could reasonably expect that to have been due to him not hearing me--had I not seen him flinch and look in my direction out of the corner of his eye. We also asked him if he had snacks available--I briefly forgot our community manager mentioned there being cheez-its for the Yelp event--but our bartender didn't even mention them. Instead he offered me some nuts in a canister and a bag, without any listing of price, quantity, etc., that totaled up to over $15 between the one canister and one bag! We were really hoping to have a good experience because my +1 guest who came with me loves Kros Strain, frequents their La Vista location frequently (1x per week, minimum), and lives just 1/2 a mile away. However, he even left the downtown location extremely disappointed and stated he would not being going back. It should go without saying, I won't be back to this location either--the only reason I gave today a 2-star rating was because at least the beer was good. The beer was not good enough, however, for us to even stay for our free beers. Overall, not a pleasant experience. read more

I love the "new" Kros strain tap room in Millwork Common. It's so nice to have this taproom closer than the brewery in La Vista. The ambiance of the taproom is very chic, even including their hop lights. The beer is, as always, wonderful. They have their classics (Fairy Nectar) on tap but they also have some great rotating taps to try. The rotating taps also span a lot of different varieties of beer, so there's something for everyone to try. With new food options opening in Millwork Commons, this taproom is becoming more attractive by the day read more

Kros Strain brewery opened this new location in the Ashton building in NoDo. The building is from the late 1800's and is beautifully renovated. I especially loved the lighting and murals. Fun fact - the original beams were reused as columns for the bar and as outdoor benches! Good beer selection with range of options including lagers, wheat beer, IPAs, Pilsner's. I admittedly don't know much about beer, but what I tried was good! It's Day 10 since they opened. Ive been to the west Omaha location before and am so happy they opened something closer to downtown! read more

Kros Strain beer just hits differently, and every time I'm in Nebraska, it's a must. The taste and experience are something I always look forward to. Both the La Vista and Omaha locations offer their own unique vibe, making each visit different from the last. Whether you're in the mood for a laid-back atmosphere or a more lively setting, each spot has its charm. It's always worth stopping by for a great beer and a fun time. read more

If you're a fan of Kros Strain or craft beer in general, highly recommend a visit to their new downtown tap room! The space in the Mill Works building is beautiful and spacious, with a nice patio out front. Their beer is always fantastic (Fairy Nectar!), and they have wine, cider, and soda for the non-beer drinkers. Check their social media for occasional events and food trucks! Plenty of street parking around the building. read more

Wednesday was the official first day for business at this new location, and Kros Strain has created quite the lovely new tap room. The new mural was done by the same artist (norm4eva) who did the one at the brewery down in La Vista. Of course, they continued with their hop cone light fixtures, but they also included chairs that look they were inspired by the mosaic mural patterns. I Ah, but I'm forgetting the important thing - the beer. Kros Strain does most any style well but excels at IPAs particularly. Any variant of their Fairy Nectar is worth trying. You can have a pint at the bar and grab a seat indoors or out on the patio, or you can select a crowler or from their various refrigerated packaged beers to go. If you step out of Kros Strain though into the adjacent hall, a large space with concrete stair seating and a massive TV greets you. Signs abound with architectural plans showing off the surrounding area intent, and the bays are decorated with promising names - like Archetype. I look forward to seeing how the surrounding area develops as other businesses fill out the Millwork Commons, but I'm 100% sure I'll be back for Kros Strain. (Relocated review.

Located about 3 blocks north of the downtown ballpark, this new addition to the Millworks area is a bit difficult to find but worth it. Fresh brews on tap and some snacks available too. A front patio seating area is inviting and the inside is a great wide open space. The staff here is great and very helpful on beverage recommendations. All in all, a fantastic taproom for those hankering for a solid brew near downtown! read more

Had such a fun afternoon at Kros Strain. Having already been a fan of their beer I was excited to learn they opened a location downtown! First off, I thought the space was very cool. The bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable about the different beers on tap. The bartender recommended her favorite and it did not disappoint! Kros Strain also has trivia nights where you could win a gift card. I will definitely be checking that out sometime soon! read more

I had a great experience trying out Kros Strain Draftworks. The space is really fun and inviting with colorful artwork and lights and other cool design elements. Plenty of seating too. It was also neat to see the surrounding Millwork Commons area being built up. As far as the drinks go, they had a lot of options. Hoppy brews, light and smooth, sours and more. I appreciated the fact that the menu listed the beers out by type making it easy for someone like me, an infrequent beer drinker, to find the perfect drink. I went for the meyer lemon saison and it was great. My +1 got the fairy nectar and enjoyed it as well. The bartender was friendly and offered up a few samples after hearing us mention what we liked about each drink. We got another round and enjoyed those as well. Overall, this is a hip brewery with good brews and is a fun place to hang. read more

I just moved here from the East Coast and have been looking for a local brewery that has really good IPAs. This place hit the spot. I really enjoyed all of my taste samples. Highly recommend the tropical fairy nectar and the koala tears. Tropical fairy nectar is their 22 spin on the fairy nectar, and the koala tears is a banana vanilla sour. When I have family visiting from the east coast, this is one of the spots I'll bring them to. read more

Beer with some cranberry purée in it? Ummm, not normally but Inflatable Snowman was fabulous. My husband started with Dunkle Breaking My Heart. So fun to wind down our evenings this way.

One of the more interesting breweries I've been to in a while. Tried a taster of four: The Melon Sour was sweet and tart, the Kokua IPA was refreshingly bright, the Saison was a little underwhelming (the only miss), and the real standout was the Cornhead -- unexpectedly original with nutty corn nut undertones. Overall, really pleased with the selection. read more

Perhaps it is because the whole area isn't open yet but this brewery had such a *quiet* energy even on a Saturday night. But maybe that's your vibe? Cool & hip scene, extensive beer selection, and the kind of service that makes you feel right at home. Kros is doing a thing or two right; just not my scene. read more

Millwork Commons is the newest and cutest little spot in Omaha! My sister and I first wandered over to this unassuming area of town during the College World Series. There was a huge empty plot across the street and a newly started mural nearby. We had been seeking out Willie Dogs hot dog stand (shoutout to Ryan for his awesome food!) and were able to munch on our food in the very empty Kros Strain. We were pretty excited to see a location out closer to where we live, and the inside is absolutely gorgeous! I've been very pleased with every drink I've had so far, and the bartenders are very kind about letting you try samples. Their famed Fairy Nectar is a must try at least once. I've since returned multiple times and have been able to see it grow and blossom. The most recent time I visited, the place was filled with people watching football on TV, bikers getting a refreshing drink after a tiring day, and couples on dates. There are more buildings that have been built around the area, and the mural nearby had progressed into a gorgeous and vibrant work of art. I'm so excited to see this area continue to grow and thrive! Add this little spot to your list of places to try, and you won't be disappointed! read more

Loved the atmosphere inside and out. Service was great and of course the beer is some of the best I've had.

Very open and relaxed vibe at the new Kros Strain location in north downtown Omaha area.

Bonus Points for the venue and staff accommodating us on a short notice birthday celebration! read more

Great atmosphere and fun hang out spot with friends. Wish there were TV's to watch sports

It's really nice to see this area coming to life, with some fantastic spaces and businesses, so having a tap room rolled in seems like a very nice perk. The outdoor seating was comfortable and enjoyable on a nice evening. Service inside was friendly and prompt. read more

First, please understand that I like Kros Strain and I often go to their main LaVista location. This was my first experience at the Millwork facility and I won't return. We were with our kids who were visiting from out of town and they had their small dog with them, about 19 pounds. We're used to looking for businesses who will allow dogs when they're in town so we can accommodate if needed. Most breweries allow dogs since they don't have a kitchen. On this day we'd already been to two places that allowed dogs inside, Infusion and Saro, but since we hadn't been to the downtown Kros Strain before we checked online to make sure they allowed dogs even though we knew the LaVista location allowed them inside. A quick search showed that they allowed dogs, not that the internet is EVER wrong about something, but when we made best efforts. Anyway, the 4 of us walked in and go the old stare down from all the patrons like walking into a small town bar when you aren't a local and we walked right over to the bar and asked the manager if they allowed dogs. He told us that in spite of the online information they did not allow dogs "because the building owner wouldn't allow it because there is a bakery and a tea shop" somewhere in the building. It would be very helpful if location website indicate whether they are pet friendly or not specifically stating if they are allowed inside or only on outdoor patios and etcetera. I know none dog owners couldn't give a damn less about this, but my point is I wouldn't have wasted my time during to a business that indicated online they were pet friendly and since my own experience at their other facility was that they were pet friendly, that's why we tried the downtown location. We were told by the manger that the LaVista location was dog friendly because there was a doggy daycare in the same strip mall as that location. Very different feel to the downtown location, as if we weren't welcome the minute we opened the door. I very much doubt we'll try it again although the Kros Strain product is very good and the LaVista site is a great experience! read more
