Observatory has never seemed to disappoint. Good food, fun atmosphere. Numerous dart boards. Definteley a go-to!

Family and friends love to watch the game, eat good food and play some darts. The service is quick and drinks are cheap! Overall great vibe!

Regular sports bar. We easily found a seat & were able to get our game on the nearby tv. Waitress was friendly & kept our drinks full. My side salad was big & had several toppings. The honey chicken flatbread pizza was tasty! Hubby's prime rib sandwich was good, too. He thought the onion rings were too seasoned. The fries were really good! Kids mac & cheese was gobbled up. One had fries & the other tater tots. Nothing extraordinary about the spot, but we had good bar food & got our game while the kids were welcome. read more

My girlfriend and I love this place! Darts are our usual date night and the Observatory Bar and Grill has 7 of them! After our fun evening we thought we left our darts there and gave them a call. The lady was super sweet and was willing to go to any measure to help track them down. She even gave me her phone number to make sure our darts would be found. Turns out they were hiding in our car. This place goes above and beyond, plus the beer is ice cold! read more

Worst wings I've ever had. Small, recooked and dry. Much better food at any number of places nearby.

Great neighborhood bar with quality food. One of my go to places and they have a trivia night!

Overall a decent experience. Seat yourself upon entrance but there's no sign that tells you that so it took us a second to figure out. It was super loud and made it hard for us to communicate with our server so a couple of "mistakes" were made. Not a huge deal, just slight annoyances. Bottle instead of draw/my husband couldn't hear what she said when she asked if he wanted another. Food wise..The nachos were pretty large, more for a group size. We intended for the nachos to be an appetizer and they only came out 1 minute before the rest of our food. The burger was really good, definitely tasted fresh. The onion rings were breaded with that sweet kind of breading, not my fave but not bad. The pizza was "okay" but we were glad we added some veggies to give it a little more depth. All in all the food was okay, definitely a loud bar type environment read more

The food was fine. We came in because of Tricia night. Listen I am all about having a good time but the Trivia person accused my friend of cheating because she went into her purse to pay the bill. Come on!!! I can appreciate a good game but we didn't cheat. We weren't cheating. read more

Never overcrowded. Service is amazing. They even put on a pretty decent brunch. Haven't ordered something that wasn't good read more

Great Burgers! Basic sports bar but the burger rocks! Service was quick and efficient. I'll stop here again.

The absolute worst customer service experience that I have ever had. My husband and I sat at our table for over 10 minutes while waitresses walk by us over and over again. When they were not waiting on anyone they stood on the side of the bar and talked. I would say the bar was about half full and there were at least three waitresses and two bartenders My husband had to order drinks at the bar finally at which point I assumed we would be served but that was not the case. There again we waited so long that I finally asked a waitress if there was any way we could order food, she told us that she was off but would have someone come over to take our order. That didn't happen so again, we had to order food at the bar. That same waitress who told us that she wasn't working continued to take orders and serve other customers for almost the whole time we were there. It didn't get any better so as soon as we found a place at the bar we moved. One of the bartenders was so kind and apologized. She also gave us a discount on our total bill which we did not ask for. It's really too bad, we had been there a couple times previously and liked the food but now we will never be back. We go to a sports bar every Friday and tip very well. At some point we were blatantly ignored. Side note- leaving reviews is not a normal practice for of mine but hoping the owner or manager see's this and. read more

We have been to OB off 144th and Center before, but now days it seems like you have less people working for an honest dollar and those that do are run ragged by others who are unkind or simply don't care to understand just how hard it is to work in the service industry. So I thought I would take a moment and share my experience last night. I called OB, to give them a heads up a large group of us were coming in last night, the service and food were absolutely amazing! I had spoken with Sherry (manager? owner? I should have made a point to find out), she was concerned that they wouldn't have the staff to accommodate us. Sherry made a point to call me back to confirm that everything was coordinated as far as staff, food and space that we could use to all be together. I pre-ordered some appetizers to come out at specific times and a cheese party pizza. What I ordered is just your basic bar and grill food, however I saw other food coming out of the kitchen that I will be going back to try. So many options. The food Mozzarella Sticks (perfectly cooked), Onion Rings (seasoned deliciously), we ordered a large shredded chicken nacho that was huge and had so many flavors going on. The Soft Pretzels with a spicy cheese dip (I would dip about anything in that cheese dip, it was soooo good) then the cheese pizza. It was crispy but not burnt, perfectly portioned sauce, cheese ratio. Everything was sent out right when I had asked and fresh. Whoever was cooking last night, excellent job. Jackie was our server, she was exceptional! Not only was she working our group she was helping other patrons as well. Jackie is an absolute rock star, she could be across the room and notice a drink near empty or someone looking around and she was right there checking on us. They have a great variety of food and drink and a great crew working the floor and behind the scenes. 100% go in and check them out. As always remember to be kind and try something new. read more

In the bar last Sunday. All employees masked and observed a lot of sanitizing - felt safe. We truly enjoyed our waitress, Angie's, sense of humor and attention to detail. Would definitely go back just because of her. My grilled chicken wrap was outstanding.. Clean and spacious for social distancing. read more

Very friendly staff. Clean facility. Bar food was good and fairly inexpensive. Great place to watch sports.

Solid bar food! Great service and fantastic burgers. Their pizza is also good. Check their daily specials.

We are visiting Omaha for the first time. We searched for locally owned bar and grills and found the Observatory Bar and Grill. It had 4 stars and we thought let's give it a try. To be honest my first impression wasn't awesome. No one spoke to us as we entered. There wasn't a sign saying "wait to be seated" or "seat yourself". We decided to seat ourselves. It was about 5 minutes before being served but from that point on it was a great experience. The Server was friendly, she knew the menu, how the dishes were prepared and followed up with us often. We had the fried tacos and they were really good. It comes with tortilla chips, salsa, sour cream and queso. It was very good. I mean really good!! The owner stopped by to check on us and thanked us for coming in. We had a delightful chat. Both my husband and I would recommend this bar and grill!! read more

First time here while working in Omaha this weekend. Pizza was awesome! Our waitress, Angie, was awesome!

The food isn't that good and service is bad. Wings weren't cooked enough, and waited over an hour for waitress to come to our table, for refills and the bill. The bar wasn't even that busy. read more

Gotta say I'm very impressed. Place is real clean and nice. The bartender s are gorgeous and very cool. They know how to make any drink it looks. The girl I liked apparently has a boyfriend. My loss. Pizza,beer, sports. Place is awesome. read more

Observatory Bar and Grill - Darts - Sports Bars Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I went here last night for the first time in several years. I had a pretty fun time, it was Thursday and they have $1 domestic draft beers on Thursday nights. They also offer a variety of other specials throughout the the week that seemed, well, special. They lose a star for bad parking and security that seemed to want problems. read more

My favorite Omaha dive bar. Been a fan since 2005. Love the people, the atmosphere and the bartenders. read more

Solid dive bar; good food, cheap prices, and a nice atmosphere. It's about what you expect- keno, pool, darts, and lots of TVs. The service was good and it's a really normal Nebraska bar. read more

I think the OB has the best hamburgers in town. It's as close to being a bar similar to Cheers as you would find in Omaha. Love the owners and bartenders. I recommend this place to everyone. read more

This place is a very nice neighborhood spot. Wait staff is very friendly and attentive. Drinks are good and taco Tuesday's are awesome!

Updated review- the owner Geri is amazing and the food is good. However, the servers are terrible. Rude and disrespectful.

Good place. Good bar food. Amazing friendly staff - owner was very nice - told us all about the history for the place. Lots of TVs with every game on!! read more

Hands down best bar in Omaha. Amazing food! They just started doing pizza and it's so delicious. Super thin crust love it! We ate it three nights in a row last week! Great atmosphere. Pool, darts, lots of TVs. Football Sundays are always fun! Love their amazing staff as well! read more

I like dive bars but this place sucks. Very clicky. Went once for a keg party some friends were invited to. Did witness a funny fight.

Service is consistently poor. Stopped in today and only one bartender working and apparently no waitress. Waited for 10 minutes and still had not been waited on. Got up with my group and left. Last visit. read more

Love it! Great bar staff and great lunch specials. The food is good and plentyful. Tuesdays $2 tacos are a great deal! Pizza is very good.

Great place. Great food. Darts, keno, pool, a lot of TVs and a lot of cool regulars that will always make you laugh Try the wings! Best in Omaha!!! read more

I went here because of the reviews. Wow were they misleading. Dirty. Poor menu. I am from out of town and went to watch the NCAA tournament. The TV's were on Fox News, NatGeo and some informercial. ( mind you this is one of the top 10 sports weekends of the year) The bartender ( the only employee ) could not figure out how to change the channels. I left my beer and headed to BW's. I don't love them but they know how to put sports on. If you are a sports fan..... don't go here would be my advice. read more

Walked in and thought, this will be good. It was busy, so people must like it. We went to the back tables and sat down (crowded in the front). No one ever came over to great us. I'm not sure if they don't serve those tables or they didn't want to serve us because we had two kids. It was a Friday at 6pm. I noticed the table next to use had gotten food at one point, but hadn't been served for some time either. I know we were spotted by multiple people, but it became apparent we weren't going to get helped. I was looking forward to trying the food and having a drink. Ugh. read more

Went there last night, We had great service and the food was very good. But the music was way to loud and the mix of music was confusing. we wanted to have another drink but decided to go else where so we could talk. we will go back but hope they do something about music. read more

I regularly eat here and it is absolutely amazing, my waitress was super nice and very attentive to our needs! Her name was either Kelly or something with a K. One of the best burgers and crowds here in Omaha. read more

This place is great! Has a back toom for darts, a separate room for pool, and relaxing lounge area with lots of tvs for sporting events! The owners are great people and the food is amazing! read more

Sweet place, very reasonable drinks (a beer and a martini was $4.50) live music, all the sports, darts, pool, a little hard to find (a good thing) and two floors with 4 rooms. I like it. read more

This place couldn't even give me a box. The waitress took 20 minutes to even realize that I asked for a box. The music was too loud and my ears wanted to bleed. And there were too many lesbians. That's all but otherwise the food tasted good. read more
