    A decent little spot. Got together with some friends for a few drinks. This rum drink was petty delicious.

    Sneaky good whisky selection. Friendly staff, and great prices. Only spot in Omaha to actually win at keno.

    Long wait for drinks and flaky . Keno before drinks here. Feel like we were an inconvenience to serve.

    Inkwell is my favorite small, moody cocktail bar in Omaha. My friend and I discovered it because…read moreit's halfway between our houses, and it quickly became our go-to spot. The Old Fashioneds are some of the best I've had anywhere, and Aaron is one of the most talented mixologists in the city. In fact, Aaron is a big reason many people keep coming back. He's exceptional at what he does, and every drink reflects that level of skill. The espresso martinis are fantastic, but the "Not Espresso Martini" was an unexpected favorite that kept us coming back. One of the things I love most is that the menu changes seasonally, giving us a reason to come back and work our way through the new cocktails to find our latest favorite. The bartenders are knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about their craft. The atmosphere is cozy, intimate, and full of character. There are actual typewriters throughout the space, which perfectly fits the literary theme and adds to the experience. As a fun touch, my friend always receives a book with her receipt and reads a random paragraph before we leave. It's those little details that make Inkwell feel like a hidden gem rather than just another bar. If you're looking for creative cocktails, talented bartenders, and a unique atmosphere, Inkwell is absolutely worth a visit. Such a vibe.

    I've been to Inkwell Bar many times and it's been a reliable go-to for a while now. It's a small,…read moreintimate space--maybe seats around 30, with room for more if people are standing--so don't come expecting a big, loud bar. That's actually part of the appeal. Drinks are solid and consistently well made. Nothing gimmicky, just good cocktails done right. The ambiance is fair but comfortable, and the size makes it ideal if you're looking to have a real conversation with someone without yelling over music or crowds. Location is another plus. It's very convenient if you want a drink before or after a Westside game, or just need a low-key stop nearby. If you're after a cozy, intimate spot with good drinks and a relaxed vibe, Inkwell Bar delivers.

    One of my favorite spots in Omaha!…read more Love the vibes and decor. We spent New Year's Eve here, and the Grinchmas holiday decorations were such a fun touch. I ordered the chocolate martini and it hit the spot. Service was quick and attentive, especially with how busy it was for the holiday. Perfect spot for a festive night out. We'll definitely be back.

    The Tipsy Pig isn't in my usual neck of the woods (I'm farther southeast), so this was my first…read morevisit. I was already out west and spotted they were doing "The Grinch" Christmas pop-up--perfect excuse to stop in! The place was adorably decked out in full Grinch theme--super cute and festive inside, totally got me in the holiday spirit. They had a fun seasonal menu going too, so I tried the churro martini and the espresso martini. Both were deliciously desserty and hit the spot perfectly for a 9pm nightcap. The bartenders were friendly, knowledgeable, and whipped up great drinks quickly. You can tell there are some regulars who love the spot, but there were also plenty of us pop-up newcomers--it felt welcoming to everyone. The space is cozy and on the smaller side, so I'd say skip bringing a big group during peak hours, but as a solo visitor, I easily grabbed a seat at the bar. I'll definitely be back soon--their regular cocktail menu looks amazing, and I hear they have fun weekly specials. Highly recommend checking out the Grinch pop-up while it lasts!

We were decently early on a Saturday night so we were able to slip right into a table! The food was good, I had the hummus plate with pita and cucumbers for dipping, love that they offer both options! The bartender whipped up a mocktail in a martini glass so I could still play along on our "Martini Flight Night" across Omaha! It was a spicy martini, with some fancy black salt, I'm not quite sure, but it was fantastic!

    First time at West End Omaha and I'm already plotting my return. Showed up yesterday on a random…read moresnowy afternoon while visiting friends in the area--heard nothing but good things, and wow, it delivered. Walked in around 2:30 pm on a total snow day and basically had the place to myself, which was kind of perfect. The vibe inside is exactly what I want in a bar: dark, moody, a little sexy, with dim lighting and rich wood tones. Total escape from the bland strip-mall parking lot outside. Night-and-day difference the second you step through the door. Happy hour runs every day until 6 pm (huge win), so I grabbed the Toasted & Roasted martini for $9--yes, it comes with a toasted marshmallow garnish that actually works--and it was dangerously good. Sweet, smoky, strong... one of those drinks you sip slowly because you don't want it to end. Paired it with the buffalo chicken sliders + fries and demolished everything. Sliders were spicy without being overkill, sauce was on point, and the fries were perfectly crispy. Service was friendly and quick even though it was quiet, and the bartender checked in just the right amount. Prices felt fair (especially with happy hour), and the whole experience just felt... cool. Like the kind of neighborhood spot you brag about finding. Already texted my local friends that they've been sleeping on this place. West End Omaha, I'll be back--hopefully next time with a bigger group so we can try more of the menu. Highly recommend!
