I am ** years old and I can't believe I've never been here! This place is such a vibe! On the first warm day of Spring, my girlfriends and I came for a night cap and enjoyed patio seating. It is seriously so "big city" to me, and in the best way possible it's definitely a watering hole with all the good feels. The inside was empty, because, like I said it was really warm. Very cool old school dive on the most popular street downtown. That leads to some very loud exhaust noises from cars, but aside from that, a decent spot. Limited beers on tap, but might as well get a mixed drink and enjoy the views. read more

I was looking for a place to sit and drink while I waited for my S.O. and friend to return from shopping. Mister Toad is a hole in the wall bar that had an inviting patio under a large shading tree. It was good enough for me. There is a wide selection of can beers, local, domestic and imported. I requested for a ginger beer I was sure they would have. They did but it was non-alcoholic. I took it anyway. Not to sweet but heavy. The server was pleasant and the people were nice who sat around talking of their upcoming events. Yes, was ease dropping. It was nice to hear the pleasantries while I babied my adult drink. It had a good ambiance and vibe. If you're not a germaphobe, not too picky of your surroundings but like a good selection of beers you may want to stop in to ease drop on a few. read more

Irish whiskey coffee is my favorite drink to get here and always a fun vibe with friends and strangers!

Wow- walked in stood at the bar for five minutes-not super crowded in a Saturday afternoon and no acknowledgement from the three folks behind the bar. I said forget this and I'm never coming back - even if this the last place in Omaha with alcohol, I'd walk an hour to go elsewhere and you should too. read more

Have wanted to 'hop in' to Mr Toads for awhile now to experience the old English library style pub. I was not disappointed. The bartender service was quick and welcoming. Relaxing in the inside library seating area with built-in wooden chairs along the back wall was very enjoyable. The clientele were happy and chatty. Visiting in the nighttime offered the extra ambience of the twinkle lighted patio area. Definitely will return. Great date night experience! read more

This is my favorite dive bar in the Old Market. I love the vibe of the old English library pub, and the patio is just gorgeous with the beautiful trees and string lights. We stopped in last night before dinner, and I ordered an espresso martini. When it came out it was dark, so I was nervous - if you know, you know. However, this had to have been the best espresso martini I've ever had. Not bitter at all. Mister Toad's is always worth the stop! read more

Great customer service and a pretty nice selection of Bourbon. Mister Nearest. Inside it's like an old library nice wood furniture and in the heart of the downtown bar scene. 11 out of 10 recommend. They also have a large outdoor patio. read more

Great stop for the perfect English Pub feel. Order the Special Coffee! It is truly amazing and worth having a couple!

My favorite Old Market bar; the old England ambiance inside and intimate patio outside make every spot a great spot. I loved their banana split drink for a dessert after dinner but this has changed to a peanut butter banana drink that's still good. They also have a good selection of beers that are priced great for the area. read more

Often good musicians once played here. Very little room. Mostly drinking alcohol. Very little food options.

Some friends and I went here for a late night drink last month/ We luckily found a couple tables and all sat down. The waitress came over right away and took all of our drink orders. I felt bad because most of us were on our own tabs, but she was really cool about it. A fun bar that I would go back to again. read more

Why is this establishment not wheelchair accessible? Isn't that a requirement? Love the ambience and used to come there quite a bit years ago but have since lost my leg and although I have a prosthesis struggled mightily to get over the ledge to get into the establishment. Also, when we were there last night nobody ever came to our table to even take our order. Sad to see what I consider an iconic Old Market pub not modernize their establishment so all can enjoy it. read more

The absolute worst experience I have EVER had at a bar. To begin, our server made all of us feel uncomfortable with a rude tone and asked "What do you want?" when she first came over. (After not coming over to us for a long time). As if we were a burden to her. We all were appalled by the horrible service we received. She never asked if we wanted to keep our tabs open or not and she brought us our checks without us asking for them. It made us feel very unwelcome. We went inside to close a tab, and when we were leaving she held the door open for us. She said something snarky about how we should've tipped yet was the worst service I've ever had. I then said I expect good service. She said something about how we should come back. I said I won't. She then followed us around the corner to JD Tucker's to harass us on if we've ever been in the service industry and to try to make us feel bad for not tipping her. She also asked me how old I am and when I answered she immediately grimaced and walked away. The whole time she had followed us she could have been doing her job and serving her other guests. I will never come back ever again. read more

Lovely throw back bar. Good good drink, friendly place, and a great place to relax and unwind with a "Special Coffee" read more

Visited Mister Toad this past weekend with a friend while looking for a quick drink in Old Market. Mister Toad feels like a divey local spot with an old English pub theme. The decor is cool and definitely unique compared to other nearby places. I've never been and usually order from the specialty drinks menu, and theirs had a few shots listed among a few drinks, which wasn't what I was looking for that day. I ended up ordering the margarita from the menu as an easy go-to. The margarita was okay, and the service was good because we got our drinks pretty quickly after ordering. The drinks weren't too expensive, each drink was $8. There weren't too many others there being a Sunday afternoon, but the music was still a bit loud. I've walked past before and have seen people on the patio, which always looks like a good time and a great way to spend a nice night outside. The patio wasn't opened when I visited, but I hope to go back one day when it is. read more

There on a beautiful fall evening, nice outside seating and indoors as well. Enough parking during weekdays, weekends are definitely gonna be a challenge. Good English pub, run by an Irishman . The bartender is fun to interact with and good at what he does. Good collection of alcohol and some nice cocktails, no food though. Service is good, prices are reasonable. Can be a nice relaxing place for an evening cocktail or a late night drink. read more

Such a fun place to visit in Omaha for an afternoon drink on the patio or a night cap. It has a cool interior and despite some of the comments below, the staff was incredibly friendly to us. The drink prices are totally reasonable especially for people who are from out of state or who have been outside of NE. read more

Good drinks, had a few hot spiked drinks options. Good vibe. Don't have any food though. Still worth a try. read more

The bartender was the biggest jerk I've ever "talked to" in my life. He barely acknowledged my existence upon arrival, and continued to be a jerk throughout the time I was there. He was slow to make drinks, unkind to our entire group, and even yelled at one of my friends. If I DO ever go back, I hope to never see that bald old man ever again. He should be fired immediately. read more

Stopped in for drinks on Sunday Funday afternoon! It was easy to find a nice warm seat by a heater vent-that's sure to please the coldest person on a winter day! Our wait staff were friendly, quick to greet us & take our orders. There's a nice drink menu to choose from, which is always a plus when you want to try something different! There's a few sports TV's on & low music in the background. Very cozy place! read more

Stopped in at the recommendation local Omaha band Wood Hoops. Check them out. Wow, Sunday night jazz is quite a treat. Lucky to be able to find out about this while passing through. Wish I lived closer. Good drinks too. read more

We came here on Sunday night. This place is beautiful. There are stained glass windows and pews against the back wall. Looks like the bar was created out of a beautiful church. Inside, it's a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. It's more on the dim lit side with lights on the tables. We walked in and it was relatively quiet and then a jazz band started playing! It was a very fun show and the crowd was interactive. I know nothing about jazz, but I wish I did after chilling here for a bit! Drinks were affordable and the server was very kind. We snagged a Strongbow and an Old Fashioned. We had a fun conversation and then enjoyed the jazz when the band started playing (it was pretty hard to try and enjoy both at the same time). It was a very fun and beautiful place to lose some time and I'll definitely check it out again in the future. read more

New Year's Eve 10 minutes to midnight 6 elderly people in the late 70s sit at table and youngsters in 20s say that's our table and make them leave. The youngsters didn't even sit at the table after. Absolutely unbeilable! Spoiled Bratts! Entitled Youth no respect for their elders! read more

We stopped in here for the first time late in the afternoon on a Thursday because is looked like a cool cozy place, but the guy behind the bar was incredibly rude. No, I take that back. He was a complete jerk. He asked If we wanted menus, and my wife, thinking he meant food menus, said no thanks we were just going to have drinks. He stood up straight with smirk on his face, and waving his hands yelled NO FOOD! My wife said we didn't want food, and he leaned over got in her face, slapped the table and again yelled NO FOOD and walked away. Needless to say we walked out, trying to wrap our heads around what just happened. I understand people have bad days, but it appeared that this was his normal demeanor. We won't be back read more

Best bar in the Old Market!!!! Make sure to try a special coffee. Jazz on Sunday is best in town hands down!!!

By far my favorite bar in the old market. What a great place. My favorite part is they don't even have to try! From the classic wood and pictures you get a feel like your stepping into Omaha history. On a sunny cool afternoon their outside seating is perfect beginning or end to your galvanizing around the old market. I'm a old fashioned fan and theirs has always been on point during my many visits. Service is always super friendly and you can tell it's a destination spot for locals because they know many of the patrons by name. The drink menu is extensive and full of cool new cocktails, beers, and wine. My night is never complete without at least one drink here! read more

Mister Toad - Great, extensive menu! - Pubs Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I'm pretty sure the interior has never been updated, but this is a popular dive in the Old Market. No food here, but they do have a great variety of beers and cocktails. Bathrooms are kinda gross, but whatev. My family and I descended upon them with around 15 people, and the staff was actually pretty cool and accommodating. Clientele do seem older, just an observation. They do have a nice patio. read more

A staple in the Old Market, a great place to stop for a drink(s). One of the best patios in the area, the staff is exceptional. I should probably stop here more than I do but it's always good. In the fall I like to stop in for a Special Coffee - incredible! read more

A cute little place in downtown Omaha! The drinks were excellent, and the service was wonderful!

This guy bartending at 2:00 pm is the most ignorant man i ever meet as a bartender. Everything we asked for he had a cocky answer. I will never go there again. Augast 8th 2023. Gloria martinez read more

Our bartender seemed to go out of her way to be rude to our table. We understood it was a busy night but the rude service was unlike anything I've ever seen. The waitress closed out our tab after one round even though we were planning to order more. She came back later and we expressed that we wanted more drinks but she closed out the tab to which she responded, "oh... okay whatever bye" like a teenage girl with an attitude. Appalled by the service, we elected to not tip. On our way out, the waitress yelled "thanks for stiffing me!", and we carried on and walked to a bar around the block. The very same waitress followed our small group to the bar (amidst a busy post event rush) to harass us about our lack of tip, where we calmly explained we were unhappy with the rude service. The waitress was screaming asking each of us if we worked in food service and our ages before telling us to "suck a dick" and storming off. Extremely inappropriate.... read more

Great little bar to go to in the Old Market! Think old-timey Irish bar meets modern with their outside patio area looking out over Old Market's classic Jackson St and interesting coffee cocktails. Definitely one of my favorite places to go when I want to sip some drinks outside and esp during the fall or on cool nights with their warmed cocktails. Try their Irish coffee outside!! Staff are super nice.. don't be taken aback if they ask to take your drink outside as you can't technically have your drinks outside in the sidewalk! read more

Mister Toad is has a unique vibe for sure. It's a pub that looks like an old dark library. I like that cool dungeon feel. If you don't, there is a patio! The ladies room could use a facelift. The Old Market area is great in general. There are plenty of little shops and places to grab a bite with friends. read more

Our server this evening was incredibly rude. From the moment we sat down her body language was unwelcoming, leaning up against the wall and crossing her arms. My boyfriend asked about a drink and she immediately said "I'll give you a few minutes" and walked away. When she came back I asked for a drink recommendation, and with reluctance we placed our order after some more negative energy. We ended up going up to the bar and asking her to give my card back so we could leave promptly. Unfortunately, will not be returning or recommending this establishment. read more

Omaha's English pub. There's a lot to love about Mister Toad. The Old Market location can't be beat. The interior is homy with dark wood panels contrasting with white walls and stained glass. Heck, half the space is a library. Every Sunday night, it's also home to some of the best live jazz you'll find in Omaha. I wonder why I don't come here more often. I have to knock off one star due to drink selection. You have Guinness, piss-water domestics and a couple locals on tap and that's about it. No Scotch ales on tap or in bottles. No English ales on tap (there are a few in bottles, however). The whisk(e)y selection is adequate, but plenty of other spots in town outshine it. Pretty sure their wine is either Barefoot, Sutter Home or some equivalent bottom-of-the-barrel option. All that said, Mister Toad offers an atmosphere like no other in Omaha. If you need a cozy corner pub to spend a few hours at, a visit to Mister Toad is a fantastic choice. read more

Great atmosphere with reasonably priced drinks. Friendly service with a great music playlist!

Went last week and sat down in the patio area outside. Drinks were strong yet there was no social distancing at the table areas. No one was wearing masks not even the waitress. Service was mediocre and our waitress was flat out rude. Overall I would not recommend this bar. It seems like a place to get wasted. Ambiance could be improved. Our table was sticky and that didn't help the fact. read more

Intimate feel with both inside and outdoor seating. During the summer and fall it was a nice place to sit outside and be in the heart of Old Market. They offer select draft beers but plenty of cocktails and bottled beer. Really cool inside decor and overall a great place for a chill night with a few friends or even a date night! read more

Still a solid watering hole in the lovely Old Market. Wine list is decent, and priced right (thank you!). The ladies room is not that great, they've got to do something about the saloon door situation up in there. Smelled like cigarette smoke and was cold in the backroom on a recent visit, but it's in an ancient building so cold is expected, just despise the smell of cigs. The courtyard out front is nice in the summertime. read more
