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

This bar has a great atmosphere, lovely staff and a hell of a drink menu. I love the culture and design of the location and the patio space is large and comforting. It's nice knowing you have plenty of room to stretch out with friends when you come here and aren't packed into booths or sharing tables with other patrons. The bar space is tall and fun to hang out at and the bar tenders have always been pleasant and chatty. A good friend of mine works here, so if you swing through ask for J read more

Mister Toad - Awesome drinks and friendly staff, what more do you want from a homey little pub? - Pubs Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I was looking for a decent spot to grab q cold beer in Old Market and found this place. This is now a sports bar, this is an old school bar with room for maybe 75 people, limited menu, 3 tvs, and a friendly staff. Both bartender and waitress friendly and made sure I never went thirsty. Atmosphere took me back in time to a nice little social bar that you could get used to. I would check this joint out. read more

Mr. Toad's always has great service. My go-to drink is a snowflake shot/cocktail, but I also tried a special coffee tonight that was to die for (especially since it was freezing). I'm not sure if there is a happy hour, but Toad's always seems to have a constant flow of people no matter the season or weather downtown. Drink's are reasonably priced for the Old Market. read more

This is the worst customer service I've ever receive at a bar in all of Omaha. 2 servers ran in to me and didn't apologize. Prices are outrageous for a dive bar and the bartenders are rude as shit. I will never spend my money here again. Worst service I've ever Received, and I've been in the industry for 5+ years. read more

Great low-key spot for cheap drinks in Omaha. Walkable to many old market restaurants (Ahmad's etc). The repurposed church pews for seating give it a cute old school vibe. read more

Going to Mister Toad's is like stepping into the home of your favorite erudite drunken uncle. I feel like I should be able to end my review here. Were I to get out more or lived closer, this would be my spot. The drink selection is a notch above a dive bar, which is fine by me. I'm in an awkward phase where I'm too old for Jag shots and I regard craft cocktails as bougie horseshit. Most recently we went with a group of friends for NYE. Being the New Year's Grinch, I'd decided to end my drinking at 10PM, although I did concede to a complimentary glass of champagne when 2016 finally died. The bartender kept my party's rounds coming, as well as my water glass full. read more

just really rude people. it used to be really nostalgic for me to go there because my dad went there in med school and I wanted to now that I'm of age and was really sad and left immediately.. read more

Nice small hole in the wall old pub. I love the décor and vintage wood furnishings. Had bloody Marys. A little on the pricey side; $6.50 each. But they were good. Our server was friendly. I love the outdoor area. read more

I'd give it ZERO stars, if I could! My wife and I came here for a couple of drinks after dinner during a recent business trip to Omaha. Yeah... the building was quaint. It reminded us of an English Pub except without the warm friendly atomsphere. For a Saturday night it wasn't very busy and shortly after we sat down at a table we knew why. The cocktail waitress had an attitude and treated us with total disrespect. I guess she doesn't realize she's working for tips!! The grouchy bartender was even worse when asking him about paying our bill, which we were forced to do because of the crappy service from the cocktail waitress, who was MIA (missing in action). There was NO live music on a Saturday night and the "canned" music that was playing was depressing! Not our idea of a pleasant night out. So, after just one drink we bailed! I've got a tip for the service staff at Mr. Toads, it's called customer service for a reason. read more

When you name a place Mr. Toad's, you create certain expectations about what type of ride patrons will be taking when they enter your establishment. While the crowd that gathers here to drink and socialize is diametrically opposed to wild, it's still an interesting mixture of young, people who think they are young, and people who have given up any notion of pretending to be young anymore. I've also had a hard time figuring out the "best" time to have a drink here. There's truly a happy medium between spending quality time with the bartender one-on-one and re-enacting a Scottish soccer hooligan riot inside a bar, but I have yet to find it here. It's either more dead than the hooker in my closet or so busy you start crafting letters to Santa Claus to bring you drinks because you think Christmas might show up before you get served again. read more

After talking quietly in a corner booth for a little while, enjoying our ONE drink, after the rain chased us off the patio we decided to call it a night and paid our tab. I had about 2 sips left of my special coffee when my table mate put his hands down on the table as if to stand up. The wobbly table tipped towards us dumping the coffee and water on us. No big deal. Until the rudest bartender (glasses, buzzed hair) came over and threw a towel down and said loudly, "too much to drink...I'll let you decide." No, you're just condescending and unhelpful. And your table sucks. But mainly the bartender was the absolute worst. read more

This place is great! As has been mentioned before, if you have a small group and can find seating the noise level is perfect for some good conversation. Their outdoor beer garden is pretty good and nice to sit in as well. The drinks are priced well and STIFF! One last thing worth mentioning is that you can go here anytime and have no fear of brushing elbows with frat boys or kids. The crowd is nice, attractive, and usually 23+ which is a huge plus. read more

This is one of my favorite downtown bars. It doesn't get too crazy at Toad's, though the outdoor patio is oftentimes packed in the summertime. It's a nice spot for a cozy drink in the wintertime. read more

What I enjoy about Mr. Toads is sitting back in the library section and sipping on one of their warm alcoholic hot cocoas . Although the inside is great laid back feel, it can get a bit loud on the weekends. The bar maids are helpful but get busy. It is the best place to people watch. You can watch people inside or outside of the bar. In the library the loung-ish area or on the patio. It has a great location in Old Market. No meals offered and the drinks are priced decently, but not the best selection of liquors, wines or even beer for that matter. So if that's what your looking for you may want to choose a different location for the evening. Come to Mr. Toads for the people and the atmosphere. read more

We stopped by to have a drink and some conversation with friends on Saturday night. This is exactly the place for that. It was quiet for a bar on a Saturday night, and the place was busy. Our waitress was really patient with us; we took a while to decide what we wanted to drink. They have a decent selection of wine, beer, and hot drinks. The place looks like an old church turned into a bar. It's got the stained glass, pews for seats, and tables from reclaimed wood. I loved the vibe of the place and staff was friendly. It's a place I'd return to. read more

Huge fan of Mr. Toad. It's one of the only 'English pubs' left...anywhere that I've been. They all seem to get so commercialized and not quaint. Mr. Toad is definitely the exception and I will always go back to visit when in The Big O. One of the MANY places in Omaha that I used to work...20+years ago...man, that makes me feel OLD! read more

Great location but after sitting for more than 15 minutes for someone to take our order we left. Bouncer saw us sitting there whole time but did not seem to care care. Is appointing to say the least. read more

A cool jazz bar with cooler clientele. Loved the stained glass windows and auction barn style furniture. My gin and tonic was fine, but don't know how you can screw that up. Apologies to all who might have been at Mr. Toad last night...I was at a noisy table during a wonderful set and a half wishing I was at another table where they were actually listening to the music. Don't hate me, I promise to choose my companions more carefully next time. Or muzzle them :) read more

Came on a Saturday night and it was semi-busy. We sat outside which was nice. Bartender and server did not know any speciality shots and drinks other than what was on their menu. I would think they were allowed to look it up in a bar tending book or even on their phones. Our server was not personable and had to wait a while between drinks and to get our check. read more

It was a wild ride. Not too busy, but then again I was there early. Looks like a pub, but no pub food, i.e., fish & chips. Beer selection average. Nice place to hang and chill. read more

Mister Toad - Pubs Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Make no mistake, this place is what it is: a bar and a very good one at that! The selection is great and the service is better. The atmosphere (indoors or out) delivers a classic vibe where one can truly relax and enjoy a few drinks. read more

Cheap drinks and plenty of space - what more do you need in a dive bar?

A nice bar with a patio on the main strip of downtown omaha. A little small inside if you are coming with a group of friends. Good local beers on tap. The patio is very large and is the highlight of this place. You can people watch or come here with a large group of friends and not have too worry about space issues. This place is nothing special. It reminds me of a college bar that doesn't need to worry about atmosphere because if its poor clientele. read more

This is seriously the best bar in Omaha. Love the outdoor seating area, the scene of many fond memories. Reasonable prices and quick service. read more

Had a blast here. Nice outdoor patio to have a drink or watch people or think about the candy store across the street. Wish smoking was banned on the patio since the smoke affected my sinuses. #badallergies Can't wait to go back. read more

Very interesting place, there is a wall of books with little messages written in them, the drinks are fun the bar has no stools, which means you have to stand, I personally prefer that set up. Cool spot read more

The staff here is stellar. It doesn't matter if it is a nice comfy weekday, or amateur hour for Bro-pods on the weekend. This establishment wears it's well worn , dark wood finish like the pro it is. Tip: don't crowed the service wells. The extremely capable cocktail waitress need them to do their job. read more

An old market gem. This place has been around for a while and for a reason. The staff are always great, the ambiance is super classy, and the drinks are stiff. I love coming here with friends for a relaxing and mellow evening. The rowdy crowds hang out down the street at Billy Frogs so it's never too crazy here. Try a snowflake shot too! They are pretty darn tasty. read more

Loved this place! From the decoration to the delicious hot drinks. Service was excellent, very friendly staff. We enjoyed this place during our short visit to Omaha :-) read more

A perfect laid back, quiet bar in a perfect location. The outdoor seating is perfect for people watching, and the inside has that dark cozy pub feeling, complete with a library. Sometimes they have live jazz going on. read more

My favorite bar in Omaha, the atmosphere is enjoyable and the drinks are nice and strong. Order a SPECIAL COFFEE, it's the BEST!!!

Mr. Toad is.....interesting. Stopped in to wait for a friend, but ended up leaving before staying there too long. Interesting crowd. Mix of older people and a higher-class looking crowd. Definitely a beautiful old pub setting. They had a nice selection of whiskeys and other liqours for mixed drinks. I sat a table with two seats and a reading lamp...Made it feel pretty cozy with my Guinness, which I will mention was $5.25.....I've never paid that much for a Guinness anywhere. I might be tempted to come back with a friend and see if they have anything not ridiculously priced. read more

To be honest I can't really recall. I just know they server shots. They serve a lot of them and they are big. Very fun place to rub elbows with the locals. read more

Ashley and Kaitlin took care of us! What a great time and great ambiance. Thank you so much!!!

You won't find a better place in town to have a few drinks outside on a warm summer evening. The outdoor patio makes the ideal spot in the Old Market to people watch. For me, the inside tends to get a little cramped so I only drop by when there's a spot outside. Give it a shot! read more

What a great patio area. So many seats in a small space, right on the corner of the two major streets in the Old Market. We had great service and tasty drinks. This is a perfect spot for having cocktails outside. Inside looked nice too, but I did not venture in. read more

A proper old pub with great outdoor seating and fresh beer. The location is great for people watching, spent an entire Saturday night watching wild bachelor parties wiz by. Service was prompt and friendly. The inside of the pub is warm and inviting, you can tell why this has been an Omaha institution for 30 years. I'll be back, keep that Heineken fresh! read more

Ahhhh - Toad's! I used to come here during my college days, and on a recent trip back to the Big O, we were hanging around the Old Market and were going to meet an old friend for a drink. Originally, we'd decided on M's pub, but that place was mobbed at 8 o'clock on a Friday - go figure, huh? So we wandered down the street and saw that Toad's wasn't terribly busy. We grabbed a table in the lie-berry portion of the place and ordered a couple drinks, then passed a pleasant couple of hours catching up and sharing some laughs. It was a good choice - just as I remembered it. Mmmmm - vanilla porter! read more

Great service and prices. I'm sitting here now on a fantastic date night. Atmosphere is laid back and fun. Strong pours and super cool staff. read more
