Cool little bar in benson it has a good beer selection and nice service would be a cool place to hang out. We stopped in for one beer. Beer was fresh and tasty. Service was nice and friendly. Will definitely be back read more

You're either going to love this place or like it. We just love the charm it has. Not a single TV in sight. You have to talk to your drinking partner, the kind stranger next to you, or one of the (mostly) kind bartenders. We always come here for the Bloody Mary. Our go-to is the Bakon Bloody Mary, always heaping in a pint glass with beef stick/jerkey and other garnishments. Their bakon vodka always makes this delicious! They have plenty of other creative Bloody Marys on the menu. Krug (pronounced kroog) Park also has an amazing selection of beer and whiskey or bourbon. There is always a really good selection of German beer on tap. There is a little patio out back too, so if you're looking to get some fresh air, don't forget that. read more

Unfortunately the service has really fallen off here in the last few years. Super slow even when the place was half empty. Decent variety of German beers but be prepared to wait to get them. read more

Krug is one of only a few "swanky" bars in Benson (I love my non-swanky bars, just to be clear) The interior has large black leather booths and the giant ornate wooden bar, but those are about the only choices for seating, save one or two single tables at the front. There is an outdoor patio but I don't think I've seen a ton of people ever out there when I've been. The decor is upscale with the aforementioned leather booths, as well as hanging plants and industrial open ceilings. They have a literal bajillion taps, it can be a little overwhelming. And with all those taps, they don't really have many "lighter" beers if you're into that (which I usually am)! The service the last time I went was pretty good when I ordered my first beer but I popped back up to the bar to order something additional and stood there for about five minutes (with no one else in sight waiting to order), and was unfortunately never acknowledged at all, so just gave up and sipped on my water for the rest of the evening. If you're looking for an upscale "looking" place, a lot of choices for beer and drinks, and can handle so-so service, then Krug may work for you - it just isn't overall my cup of tea (or should I say, water!) read more

Krug Park is a Benson staple. I love the small, neighborhood feel to it. They have some nice wooden booths but also some cute tables near the front window. Friendly folks, affordable drinks, loaded bloody Mary's, great beer selection. Recently tried some sort of lavender cider...very unique selections. They also have bit burger on tap, which I haven't seen since I was traveling in Germany. Give this place a try, you won't be sorry. read more

My first place I ever tried a bloody mary many years ago, and the only one I will compare others too. They're known for this for a reason. So flavorful, and huge. My husband likes the beer selection, and it's definitely a fun spot go mid-day then walk around Benson. read more

Such a cozy atmosphere. Ann is absolutely amazing, I feel so welcome with her. She even memorizes our drink orders! A Sunday tradition from here on out! read more

Let me just start by saying that Mischa IS THE VIBE. One of Omaha's best bartenders, Mischa is truly an experience. You go into Krug for the booze and you leave enlightened, high on positivity (but not in an annoying way). If you're looking for a bar-- more importantly, a bartender-- that will get ya to where you need to be while also engaging in profound, nonjudgmental convo, this is your place. Mischa is truly a human you have to meet. read more

Unfortunately Yelp defaults to giving this establishment 1 star, but if I had my choice, they wouldn't receive any! I have never been to an establishment where the waitstaff was so rude. A friend and I walked in, sat at the bar and ordered a drink and all of a sudden a waitress with long straight brown hair came up behind the bar and started complaining loudly about how she didn't receive a decent tip from a party she was servicing. My friend and I were shocked at how loud and rude she was and I said something to her about how we could hear her. She turned to me and yelled she was talking to her co-worker and not me. I said... you realize the whole bar can hear you and at that point, she became irate and shouted "get the fuck out" several times. She then took my $15 Bloody Mary that I hadn't even taken a sip of, and charged me for it as I had an open a tab. My friend and I chose to leave the bar because it became clear the waitress was out of control and we wanted no part of that. After that night, I called several times in an effort to speak to a manager and have received no response. Ultimately, I called my bank to dispute the charge, which has since been credited back to me. With that being said... I will never recommend this place to anyone. . read more

While looking for a place with Bloody Mary's I came across Krug Park. While Krug has several different options for bloody Mary's, the mix seems to be the same for all of the different options. Unfortunately, this means that none of them are very good because the mixture isn't very good. I will say that whatever beef jerky they use for the top of one of their Bloody Mary's was great! What Krug has going for them is the bartenders are pretty friendly and the place was clean. I really wish we could give them a better rating, but, when you're going specifically for something that they are supposed to specialize in, and it's not very good, the ratings have to be lower. Happy drinking Yelpers! read more

This is one of my favorite bars in Benson. The cocktails and beer never disappoint. The staff is also very friendly and attentive. It is a great place to chill, have some drinks, and chat with a close friend. This is a bar only. They do not serve any food. Which I don't mind. read more

This place has been around for a while now and I don't know why it's taken so long to review it. It's a unique atmosphere (as many places in Benson are). Their focal point: made to order Bloody Marys. The classic one is great but so are the more adventurous ones (Veggie or Bakon anyone?). You know they serve a lot of this drink because the wonderful scent of tomato juice and celery is welcoming as you walk in. Perhaps they should offer this as an aromatherapy plug in for the home. . . Never mind. Not a Bloody Mary fan? Not a problem! They have a LOT of choices when it comes to the brews. Refer to the oversized chalkboard or table menus. Let's just say it's full on variety; on tap, can or bottle. Can't decide? Well, the staff can assist on that. Whether it's a Pilsner, IPA, Belgian style, stout or seasonal, Krug Park has it covered. Not in the mood for a lager or tomato juice based drink? They have a selection of other libations, including higher end whisky. Case in point: Teeling whisky from Dublin. It's a micro distillery that's a step above your Jamesons of the world. Although if you're a Jameson fan, that's here too. A cocktail menu that changes occasionally is solid as well. read more

Super laid back old school bar, dark wood, and an impressive number of beers on tap. I loved the opportunity to try a variety of different beers and went with a full 5 tasting flight. The bartender was great in describing the different beers as well as letting me have tastes of a few varieties while I narrowed down the picks for my flight. Its located right on the "main drag" in Benson and parking is so easy. They don't really have a food menu, which was my only complaint. I think I'm used to places having to sell a minimum amount of food while they're selling drinks, but it just gave us an excuse to explore some other places afterwards. read more

We had a delightful time at this inviting pub. Very comfortable with a professional, attentive bartender. We ordered old fashions which were perfectly made along with a delicious garnish. Brandied cherry with orange, always a favorite. Metal toothpick excellent detail. We also had a charcuterie board, veggie board and bread and hummus board. Beautifully presented and everything was very fresh. The hummus (which I assume flavors are seasonal) was a lovely suprise with a curry taste. The meats and cheeses were high quality and the price for quality was very fair. As an interior designer I would love to make some changes on the interior on this charming place but will not stop me from becoming a repeat customer. read more

Very cute spot. Tremendous bar. Drool inducing Beer selection. But what could go wrong? The service. Offstandish, aloof, and disinterested. Imagine asking a question about a beer on tap, only to be directed to read the price menu. Not much help. Maybe bad service doesn't represent fairly the staff in general. See pic for spec read more

Why did it take me so long to have a magical evening at Krug Park?! A wonderland of beer, bloody Mary's you can make a meal out of (complete with full stalk of leafy celery and other garnish goodies), and friendly bartenders who are more than happy to educate and offer tastes. Backdrop of steam-punk/frontier whimsy and a patio out back, I took the bait, hook line and sinker. You can also order food from Lot 2 next door. Win, win, win! read more

I like a good bloody mary- but that was not on the radar for my first visit to Krug Park. I came to catch up with a old friend on a Tuesday night after work around 6pm. If there were any happy hour specials they weren't advertised at the table, on the menu, or on the chalkboard. The staff didn't mention any so I assumed at 6pm all is done in the happy hour world. We ordered a round of beers- I was pretty unoriginal with my pyramid apricot ale out of seattle that I absolutely adore, and my friend got a super smooth dark lager that was something with the word nitro in it? It was smoother than Guinness and something I would definitely order next time. With 62 beers on tap and a whole lot more in the bottles and cans, it would be hard to choose when faced with the "which beer do I pick" questions. Not to mention a craft cocktail and bloody mary menu and all the wines and hards... This is a true craft beer bar heaven. Clean look, modernish decor and layout, and pretty stand-off bartenders (you have to approach the bar or initiate talking to someone to get service). Don't come hungry-food is off the menu, although rumor has it you can order from many of the surrounding restaurants or bring your own food in. There are so many great beers but I need food in order to casually enjoy more than a few rounds without hitting the floor so next time I will come prepared. read more

My friend and I went to Krug Park last week after having dinner at Lot 2 and it was cool experience. They have a lot of bottled beer and beer on tap, which was cool. They have some Belgium beers that you can't really find anywhere else, as an example. The prices are what they should be too. Not too high and not super cheap. Besides the group of people to my right talking crap about Council Bluffs, the ambiance was chill and dimly lit, which was nice. Overall, if I'm in the Benson area again, I will definitely venture on over to Krug Park for a few adult beverages. read more

One of my very favorite spots! Located in benson so parking can suck but it's worth it. Krug has 50 beers on tap, some tasty craft cocktails and lots of Bloodys to choose from. Anne is a goddess and you should go see her Friday-Sundays. She's amazing and creates some super fancy pants special drinks on Sundays. Tip her big !! Monday mug night is a great night to go , you keep the glass and get discounted refills. Woot woot. They have happy hour as well. Beautiful spot, cozy and intimate as well as a back patio ! I'm a huge fan !!!! read more

Anne H is an awesome bartender! Master designer master crafter drinks are fabulous ... was great seeing you!

It was our first time into KP so I'll only be providing a review covering this single experience. I recall my wife and I being at Bärchen Beer Garden WISHING there was a place in the O-Metro that served our favorite, but extremely hard to find German draft beer, Bitburger (BBG doesn't). While seated @ BBG we do a little Googling and BLAMMO! -- find out a place called Krug Park serves it. Come to find it's the place RIGHT NEXT DOOR!! We finish off our 2 liters (Don't judge!) of Hacker Pschorr Helles Lager, pay our tab and walk next door to KP! Sit directly in front of the Bitburger tap and order their smallest serving of Bit (ref..."don't judge"). Upon speaking with Alex Lund (We suspect the owner??) Turns out KP doesn't serve beer in liter mugs. We ask if we could bring our own. He says, "Sure. I can keep them in my office." How awesome is that!?! The service was great, as was the beer selection and the interior design. We WILL be back with our 1lt mugs and thirst!! (to be cont...) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Continuation..... The wife and I arrived, once again @ KP with 1 Ltr mugs in hand. Sure enough, the staff was excited to allow us to keep them on the premises. Despite other "bad service" reviews, OUR service experience was excellent! All it took to get served was a purposeful glance. Since we've yet to sit at the tables they also offer, we cannot speak to that service. Once again the beer was outstanding (If you like traditional German Pilsner beer, you MUST try Bitburger!!!) and this time, we ordered food. An order of the Mayne Street Market Sweet & Spicy nuts and Au Courant Hummus Dip w/a Baguette vs crackers (Yes you can do that!). Both tasted excellently devine and was served amazingly fast !! The more we visit Krug Park the more we grow to adore this place!! One suggestion (Based on living 4yrs less than 7 miles from the Bitburg brewery front door) would be to offer Chocolate Chip cookies (Our preference = Chips Ahoy) as a menu offering as this is a surprisingly EXCELLENT pairing with good German Pilsner. Keep it up Krug Park! May vast success be your future! read more

It's been a while since I've been to Krug. And I'm wondering why the heck it's taken me so long to get back. Maybe it had something to do with that extra-frigid winter, making me less likely to get out of the house. Or that fact that when I did, Krug seemed extra packed on the weekends since hanging out on the back patio was temporarily out of the equation due to sub-zero temps. Well, I made it back yesterday and it's still one of the best bars in town. Of course, their beer selection is as good as it gets. Even so, this time around I sampled one of their craft cocktails -- the San Fran Stormy. Comprised of Fernet-Branca, triple sec, lime juice, ginger beer and Angostura Bitters, it was refreshing and springy -- reminding me that warm weather is seriously right around the corner. I followed up the Stormy with my recent go to brew, a Duchesse De Bourgogne. Next time you're here, give the IPAs a rest and try one of these slightly sour little beauties. read more

My good old pal Landon took us to Krug Park, since he knew I was a fan of beers! Krug Park is a really legit fancy pants bar with over 200 beers in the bottle and over 60 beers on tap! We talking good stuff from around the world to regional delights! I was stoked to see they had Knoxville, IA's Peacetree Hopwrangler on tap. They also have a very extensive Bloody Mary Menu that looks pretty sweet! The bartenders were awesome, the bathrooms were clean, and I want to stay forever but I had to go sound check down the street. But have no fear this is a park I would come back to play in anytime! read more

I can't believe I have yet to write a review for Krug Park! Seriously. This is my favorite place to grab a drink in Omaha. Nestled into Benson, it's a cozy, comfy place to grab drinks any night of the week. Krug has a fantastic selection of beer and cocktails. I'm actually going to credit Krug with my deeper appreciation for beer -- they helped me start experimenting beyond my college days of Bud Light. And if beer isn't your thing, they've got fantastic cocktails. They have the standard options, but also a little menu full of delicious drinks. They have a minimal selection of food (pretty sure it's just chips and salsa -- but you the salsa is fantastic and served in glass jars you can bring home with you). Plus side is that they allow food to be brought in. A couple of nearby places actually deliver food to you -- pizza and tater tots are a standard go to here. Just tell them you're at Krug, and you've got food delivered to your table in under 15 minutes. There's a very small patio in the back... I've only been lucky enough to snag a table there once and it was probably because it was 1am. If you can get your friends there early, you can take up the entire deck. The décor is also great -- dark wood, large mirror, bottles lining up the shelves... it reminds me of something out of the 1920s. Old photos hang up along the back walls of what Krug Park used to be... an amusement park, if I remember correctly? A large chalkboard hangs up near the bar, detailing out what's on tap. Booths line up one side of the bar, or you can grab a seat at the bar or near the front window. The only downside to Krug is that it can get pretty full on a weekend night, and no one likes to awkwardly stand around. More seating would be nice, but then that takes away the ambiance of the bar. Finally, the bartenders are all pretty great. They know their drinks and can easily recommend something new, if you're open to trying new things. Check it out! read more

This is a cocktail and beer bar in Benson. I went in a Tue night at 10 and it was mostly empty but I am sure it gets busy on weekend nights, like most places in Benson. For those not from the area, Benson is a suburb of Omaha and 5 miles from the downtown / stadium area. 5 stars for an amazing beer and scotch/whisky/ bourbon selection. 5 stars for very affordable pricing. I live in Chicago and could never get a Glenfiddich 15 for less than $10-$12. They have it for $8-$9. They also had Pappy 10 but sadly run out of the 12, 15,20,23. 5 stars for them carrying it. Only downside - the Bartender could have even a little more friendly!! read more

This place has a great ever changing selection of beer. It's a bit pricey and can get pretty busy at night on Fri and Sat so go during HH during the week. Be sure to check out the bloody Mary List while you're there. Omaha Beer Week was fun there. Thanks for all the swag! read more

Krug park is not a place to get blasted cheaply or to grind on randos. That being said it has an amazing, eclectic vibe, with consistently amazing drinks. Their bloody Marys are creative and fun.

I'm writing this wondering why I hadn't penned a review of Krug Park before now. Somehow it slipped through the cracks, and it's time that I made up for that. I admit that I know nothing about food service here. Maybe it exists, but I've never tried it. Anyway, that's not why I go to Krug Park. It's for drinking and socializing that I go. And when I'm thirsty, Krug has a large number of tap beers available, some very extraordinary. Once in a while there's a special tapping, and those tend to go fast. Not into beer? There are great cocktails available, and of course the large menu of their signature drink -- the Bloody Mary, in many variations. Each one is akin to a meal, so if you forgot to eat something before coming, now you have an answer to your growling stomach. Krug also offers a Beer Society membership for a nominal fee. It gets you free beer on your birthday, plus discounts all year round. Overall, Krug is a fun place to go with friends. Everyone will be able to find something that they'll like. read more

I have come here twice. Both times the bartenders have been terrible. First time, there was only a couple other people at the bar and it took 10 minutes for the bartender to acknowledge me and my friend. The second time I came here, my friends and I brought a game that we like to play. We got a drink, played the game in the corner, and were laughing and having fun playing the game. I guess the lady bartender didn't like that because she said we were obviously drunk and wouldn't serve us a second drink. We had had one drink! I have never been treated this way. Don't go here if you want to have any sort of fun! So many better bars in the area. read more

I have never left a review before so I hope this tells you something. It took forever to get a drink on a not so busy night. Then, the female bartender was extremely rude and decided not to serve my friends because they "had too much to drink" when we each had one drink. I've just never experienced service like this before. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a good bar to hang out with friends. read more

I appreciate the variety of beers. Even if you are not a huge beer drinker, there is at least ONE that you could enjoy.

First time coming here and was impressed by the beer selection. It was very dimly lit and a great casual atmosphere. They have a vast Bloody Mary selection as well (14). I ordered a double chocolate stout and was impressed. Then things turned for the worst The bartender was not friendly and was not helpful with specific recommendations I asked for a stout beer and she came back very upset and didn't even tell me what it was. Very upset especially because I have never given a 2 star review but service is very important! read more

We've been going here for a while and haven't had any problems, which is why last night's experience was so surprising. My friend, a thirtysomething grown-ass man and father of two kids was denied service because his license had expired. Last I checked, all that meant was that he needed to review it before he could drive. Not at Krug Park. They reason they gave (complete with a straight face and in all sincerity) was that there have been stings in the area and they needed to be really careful. That's cute. If I was going to run a sting, why would I send in a guy who's balding with an expired license? There are plenty of other bars in Benson with great beer selections, better ambiance and a lot less drama than this one. Just make sure your ID is up to date if you date to visit Krug Park. A valid passport and a notarized letter from your mom wouldn't hurt, either. Come to think of it, you should probably bring the original copy of your birth certificate while you're at it just to be safe since there are so many stings going on. read more
