Refreshing change in a classy, nicely decorated bar. Friendly, attentive bar staff and don't miss 2nd Saturday Blackstone district days when you may hear great rooftop Kareoke at Little Ricky's!

Great atmosphere for a long given evening. Feels like a rooftop speakeasy. The bartender was super friendly and made excellent drinks. It's definitely something to check out near UNMC.

I've visited Little Ricky's a few times now and have always had a great time! Located in the perfect spot in Blackstone, the rooftop is a great spot to relax and people watch the street below! The entrance is up a few stairs, hidden behind a corner just off the main street through Blackstone. Inside, it's darker with pretty chandeliers. Outside, the rooftop is fun for nice days. Earlier in the night, there's a more relaxed feel and plenty of seating available. Later at night, it definitely gets busy and louder, so you should definitely plan your visit based on which kind of vibe you're looking for! The bartenders have always been super friendly and even when crowded, have been efficient making drinks. They have a menu on the wall of their specialty cocktails, and I love the Jessie's Girl. With the cucumber, it's super refreshing and perfect for the summer. They have a slushy (a mango margarita I believe), which was super sweet and a bit cough syrup-y. I luckily did not order one and just tried it from someone, but I don't like sweet drinks like that and probably wouldn't order it again myself. This is such a fun spot in Blackstone - definitely check it out if you're looking for a cool spot with outdoor space, especially in the summer.

Little Ricky's is a bar at a whole nother level in Blackstone- rooftop level that is! Love this place and the view of Farnam Street. Whether you go rooftop or chill in the bar area, this place is the epitome of awesome. Service is excellent and cocktail selection is well rounded. Looking forward to cooler weather with a cool breeze on the roof! Cheers Little Ricky's!

New rooftop bar in Blackstone. Great addition to the Blackstone bar scene. There's a small indoor seating area as well as the rooftop that gives a good view of Blackstone. Fun cocktail selection. The entrance is a little tricky to find - it's actually off 39th street. It's off to the right of Nite Owl. Look for the door with a horse on it.

This was such a fun rooftop bar in the Blackstone district! The views were awesome and the vibe was great. They had a large variety of cocktails, beers, seltzers, etc., and a handful of specials running as well. The cocktails I had, while tasty, seemed pretty weak, which is why I'm giving 4 stars.

Best location in Blackstone, bar none. Located on top of a building, you get fantastic views of Farnam, with people watching in spades. There's a lovely inside space with a wide selection of spirits, but the real reason to come is this rooftop bar. However, everything about this bar screams "craft cocktails" except the actual cocktails. Who puts a red plastic straw in an old fashioned other than Applebee's? I wanted to rush behind the bar and help my bartender. There no reason to put as more simple syrup in an old fashioned than a liter of 7-up. Please, please don't just throw all the alcohol in a glass with some ice... unless you're making Long Island iced tea. And a boulevardier should be enhanced by the Campari, not destroyed by it. Blackstone still has no great craft cocktails, but order a beer and enjoy the view.

We all loved the view but weren't feeling our mixed drinks. Little Ricky's is definitely worth a stop for the sights however you may want to stick to something on tap.

I love this spot! I love the rooftop, it is heated during cooler weather and open during warm weather. It's in the middle of blackstone which is a perfect location! It's the only rooftop in the area as well. I love the coconut pineapple mojito! It's fresh and sweet(without being too sweet) and perfect for summer! I also love that it has fresh mint as well. Parking is a bit tricky bc the area, but it's worth it!

Little Ricky's is the perfect addition to Blackstone. It's fun place with great service, good but not great drinks, food delivery from Cheeseburgers or Meatball and great views of Farnam. The Mojito made with what I assume was Malibu Rum was tasty and decent priced at $8. They specialize in six or so drinks including the Mojito. They also have a small selection of craft beer. I can't wait to go back.

We visited Revival House because a friend picked it to celebrate their birthday, and I was really…read moreexcited since this place had been on my list for a while. The space is super cute and bigger than I expected. I love that the windows open up and give it an indoor/outdoor vibe, and the tropical décor makes it feel fun and cozy at the same time. There's plenty of seating, and they can fit both small and big groups. We were a party of about eight and were still able to find a good spot together. Something I really liked is that they let you bring food from other places since they don't serve any, which is perfect if you want to hang out for a while. Their drink menu is huge, and the presentation is honestly amazing. When we first got there it was slow, but it definitely got busier as the night went on. We did struggle a bit when it was time to check out because all the servers were running around, so just be ready for that on a busy night. Overall, we had a great time. The drinks were really good, the vibe was great, and I'd definitely go back.

It was kind of confusing whether we had to go order at the bar or if someone was going to come take our order, but eventually someone came to us. I got the Exotic Bird and it was definitely my favorite drink out of the group. The seating was a bit of a challenge as we had to seat ourselves and we had a decently large group, so we had to wander around for a bit trying to find a spot, but we eventually did. I'll probably be back to try more drinks, but maybe when they are less busy!

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.

I hate to disparage Cottonwood because I've had incredible experiences staying at the hotel,…read moreattending for events, and in the Orleans Room. But--I'd discourage going to this part of the hotel. After my experience from the first review, I called and had 2 separate conversations with the manager to try to rectify the situation. He sent the info to accounting and 2 months later, I still hadn't heard anything back. 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.

I made a reservation for five of us, and we were counting down the days like it was a holiday. When we arrived, we valet parked and made our way inside. The restaurant is a little tucked away. Head downstairs past the hotel lounge and you will find it. It kind of gives the place a secret, speakeasy vibe, which I loved. We were greeted warmly and led to a private dining room that was beyond charming. It featured a renovated poker table that now serves as a dining table. It was unique, intimate, and perfect for our group. We were offered still or sparkling water right away, and the service was attentive from start to finish. Joe, our server, was fantastic. He knew we were celebrating and made the experience feel personalized from the moment we sat down. He also knew I was there for the Beef Wellington. I had noted it in the reservation, which I highly recommend, because they only prepare a limited number each day. They saved one for me, and I am still dreaming about it. Since it was our first time, we went all out. We shared Caesar salads, a small chilled seafood tower, bourbon-glazed pork belly, and an artisanal cheese board. Everything was top-notch. I do not even eat seafood, but the tarragon sauce on the tower was absolutely incredible. I would put that on toast, fries, maybe even a shoe. It was that good. For mains, most of us ordered the New York strip steaks. My husband chose the Summer of Steak flight, and I finally got my hands on the Wellington. Every entrée was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. These were easily some of the best steaks we have had in Omaha. We also ordered four sides to share, which was just right for our group of five. The truffle fries were hot and crispy with a lemon aioli that I wanted to take home in a bottle. The asparagus was fresh and perfectly done. The mashed potatoes were whipped and fluffy. The aged cheddar mac and cheese was everything it should be--gooey, rich, and ridiculously satisfying. Naturally, we did not stop there. We sampled a few desserts: Baked Alaska, Coconut Torte, and the Blackstone Butterbrickle. All three were excellent. There was not a single bite left behind. The cocktails were also a standout. Some of the best margaritas we have had in a while. The bartender deserves his own round of applause. Yes, it was a splurge. With tip, the bill came to around $1,200. But it was a birthday, and as my dad always says, if the food and the experience were good, it was money well spent. And this absolutely was. The Committee Chophouse delivered at every level: flavor, service, ambiance, and attention to detail. We left full, happy, and already talking about when we can go back.
