Karaoke is very laid back & judgement-free. Everyone's just there to hang out & have fun. Some of the regulars are very talented singers, but even I, with my terrible off key singing, feel completely comfortable (perhaps too comfortable) putting a song in the rotation. Majority of the songs people choose are 90s or 2000s alternative. Bartenders are lovely to talk to & great at remembering names. It's very small & gets crowded easily, had a couple instances of someone who's had a bit too much bumping into everything & everyone. Not a very comfortable spot to be when it's packed, but most of the time it's chill & low key.

It may be a bold statement, but I say hands down Cedar has the best Espresso Martini in Omaha…read more Perfectly sweet, with the right amount of coffee flavor. Served cold with a light layer of foam. The vibes are intimate and is a great place to hang with friends. They have a huge menu of cocktails, beers, ciders, and some snacks. The bartenders are always friendly and keep your drinks full. There's a good amount of seating inside and a cute outdoor patio with heat lamps. I love the location too!!

Not only do they have snacks, they make a fine cocktail, and have a very wide selection of beers…read more Also selections of ciders, sours, seltzers, and wines. It's excellent. The parking is okay. I'm here in opening hours, and it's packed out there. Not sure whose biz is flooded. This fine location has several people, but most arrived after me. Cools folks, too, FWIW The bar is rustic wood, with worn wood barstools. Charming. There are a varied set of tables with comfortable seats. While not huge, it's a reasonable sized bar. One TV at the far side of the bar. The bartender is cool. Someone called her Charlie and she responded. Served me a Manhattan with double the sweet vermouth, as requested. Hasn't quit moving. Whoever owns this place must be quite pleased with their work. I appreciate the black clothing worn by them. It's a look I favor. It's especially great when one's partner is at the nearby salon. Comfortable and inviting. Been here before. Will be here again!

My friend and I were walking by and noticed the rooftop so decided to stop in for a quick drink…read more It is a cute little bar with a nice rooftop area. They also had some live music about to start but we were on our way out. I ordered an aperol spritz and my friend got the special, any flavor $5 mule! The drinks were good and not too pricey which was nice. A nice place to grab a drink and enjoy the nice summer weather. Will have to come back next time i'm out in the area.

The bathrooms were clean. The bartender was friendly. Thursday was $5 mules so I grabbed a blood orange one. Just tasted like a normal mule but I love ginger beer so I was happy with it and the price. The rooftop space was on the smaller side but they did a great job with spacing of seats so it didn't feel crowded A cute spot to people watch and relax on a warm afternoon. A band was setting up as we were leaving. Live music is always a plus in my book.yav8 I would come back during the week for a relaxed vibe and good prices.

Revival House was one of the most unique cocktail bars I visited in Des Moines! Hidden in downtown,…read morethis tiki-themed bar feels like you've stepped into a tropical oasis with bamboo accents, colorful lighting, and fun vintage-inspired décor. The cocktail menu is full of creative tropical drinks, and the atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out! It's cozy, immersive, and the perfect spot for a date night, catching up with friends, or starting an evening downtown. We went on a mini road trip to Des Moines from Kansas City and this was the first spot we visited! Every corner has its own personality, making it just as fun to look around as it is to sip your drink. If you're looking for a cocktail bar that's a little different from the norm, Revival House is definitely worth adding to your Des Moines itinerary.

The cocktails were delicious and not too sweet. The bartender definitely knows what he is doing. He even made a surprise off menu concoction which was really good. We came on a Thursday and I was surprised how empty it was. There was only one other party. Bartender said that on the weekends the line goes around the block. Drinks are reasonably priced compared to other places in the area. There is no food available but you can bring food in. Can't wait to come back!

It's clear who the regulars are and who aren't but I didn't feel like there was any impact to server quality. Our waiter was very attentive to refills and needs. The burgers themselves were both juicy and full of flavor. My son had the Curd Burger (a burger with Bacon/cheese/cheese curds/ranch, and he substituted his cheese) - it was large and the cheese curds were fried, hot, and delicious. The burger held together well and the serving of fries was very large. I had the Spicy Frisco Melt with tots. The burger was full of flavor - spicy but not super hot and very filling. Again, the side order of tots was very large. The restaurant had plenty of space and lots of TVs to watch the game (in our case, it was the World Cup). A hidden gem and worth a visit!

The bartender was talkative and nice. On a later weekday night, it seemed to be more of a 'regular' bar--which I loved because it's what it was founded on before the Blackstone area existed. It's definitely more of a laid back vibe compared to the other lively options in the area.

If you're looking for a fun spot for a lively happy hour, I'd definitely recommend Sullivan's Bar…read more We went on a Tuesday night for trivia, and the atmosphere was fantastic--really lively and full of energy. I had the green tea shot and a couple of mixed drinks, and they were all spot on. It did get pretty crowded, though, so depending on your vibe, it might be a bit packed for some. But overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely go back for the fun environment!

We got some drinks, two classic espressos for two classy ladies. It was super fun to head to the back and enjoy live music. The vibes in the blackstone are much happier now with no constructions.

Very busy on a late Saturday night, but that's to be expected…read more We stopped in and initially sat at some booths that didn't have any tables, which was odd, but one of the guys working there was able to find two and bring them over. We were able to get a different booth that fit everyone and it was very nice. The drinks were delicious too. They had different Christmas themed ones but they had a French 75 that they used a spiced pear liquor with and it was fantastic.

Also, there was some sort of "mystery leak" coming from a back room that was spreading onto the floor and starting to flood the carpet in the one seating area in the back.
