    I love this bar! The bartenders are extremely knowledgeable on whiskey. They gave me some recommendations on different rye whiskeys to try. I really enjoyed the entire experience. I will be back!!!

    Great place. A little out-of-the-way but if you're in the Benson area it's worth a stop if you're into beers and especially scotch. I also learned here for the first time the magic of half pint glass (critical if you're out on a beer tasting day). The bartenders were helpful and regulars seemed friendly. There was plenty of room - in the afternoon at least - for a group to pull together some tables and enjoy drinks and conversation among friends.

    Outstanding professional services. Hey, I sat and bank my beer. No problems. The folks around here seem to be logical and about the drink.. Not the politics. amen to a solid realize from the grind...

    Manhattan. The book in the background is their whiskey list. Wowzers!

    This is a great bar. Excellent selection of tap beer plus an enormous selection of whiskey. Like bigger than the selection at Dundee Dell. It's pretty glorious. The Library Pub is also clean and plenty spacious. Sit at the bar and chat with the day-drinking regulars and the bartender or grab some buds and spread out at a table. Don't be fooled by the modest exterior. This ain't no dive bar (although they will accommodate your Coors Light needs if necessary). I tried Zip Line's 7-hop IPA and the Duet IPA from Alpine Brewing. Then I finished things off with a Manhattan, rye whiskey and dry. I could've stayed all night, but reason started to kick in once I realized it was only 5:30pm and I had a serious buzz going on. If I lived closer, I'd definitely make this "my bar." But I don't live nearby, so I'll gladly put it in my regular rotation instead.

    A dimly lit interior greets you upon entry. The walls are lined with over 250 bottles of Whiskeies. there are like every aged kind you can think of.Lagavulan? which age? Tasty Manhattans (Chris K, looking at you) and generally great cocktails come from the bar. A very bartender was on and he happened to be more of a Stout person whereas I am an IPA guy. 7 hop IPA was a great start. Then I noticed the Monk's Cafe Flemish Red. Seriously one of my all time favorites. Add to the selection of beverages the music, Frank S and pals, good company, and this is a really solid bar.

    Awesome little pub! Great place to grab a craft beer with tons of local choices. If you can't decide on a pint, get a flight. Genius. And the bartender Rob is possibly my favorite ever (or at least here in Omaha). He's friendly, knowledgable and clearly appreciates craft beer but in an unpretentious way. I don't normally review restrooms, but the litter box here is seriously immaculate.

    See all

    The bathrooms in this bar are amazingly clean! I am pretty sure whoever cleans them in a mythical goddess.

    Amazing selection of beer. Very laidback atmosphere. Pretty decent selection of whiskey. Not a cocktail kind of bar.

    They need to find happy bartenders. Every time we have visited seem crabby...good beer a bit pricey.

    I called around town to the places that were known to carry a large selection of scotch.
