It's got charm, character, and zero pretension. The service is always friendly, but never fake -- no forced small talk or over-the-top energy, just genuinely cool people who seem to enjoy what they do. It makes the whole experience feel laid-back and easy, like you're part of the regular crowd even if it's your first time. The rotating cocktail menu always has something fun to try, but the real star of the show is their Bloody Mary -- absolutely legendary. Bold, flavorful, and consistently on point. They've also got a patio, which is a great spot to hang when the weather's decent. The location is super convenient, especially if you're heading to or from a show at the Slowdown. Whether you're just stopping in for a drink or planning to linger, Trap Room nails that cozy, quirky neighborhood bar energy.

Lots of screens and lots of seating that accommodates large groups so bring your friends!

The brisket tacos were awesome, and the chipotle aioli really complimented them. The rice was cooked great and the beans were tasty too. Our server was super friendly, and we were given a table with no wait time. This place was really pretty and is in a good location, next to hotels and other spots.

Overwhelmingly average. This is a nice feeling restaurant, clean and has a modern feel to it but…read morebetween small portions, high prices and underwhelming flavors it felt like we were paying more for the *environment* than the food. You can get better, more authentic food at literally any taco truck in South Omaha at less than half the price per taco. This just didn't feel worth the money and we ended up going across the street for dumplings immediately following dinner because *nobody finished anything*. Nothing really stood out as special, which is disappointing considering each individual taco you order is $5-6. - shrimp and bacon: well seasoned and that aioli really complemented the shrimp. Not impressed that it only had 3 shrimp on it and I'm not sure if bacon was added. - Mushroom: ... this one was everybody's least favorite. It was DRY and tasted like smoke. Nothing was added to give it some moisture and it felt like an attempt to make a mushroom taste like meat but it didn't go well. - carnitas and chicken: both of these fall into the same category of nothing to write home about but meet what you'd expect. - Brisket: this one was the best of the day, hands down. I wouldn't say it saved the evening but it was the best meat on the menu. Only note was it made the single tortilla really wet so as soon as I picked it up the tortilla ripped in half. Not complaining about it though as it was the only thing that felt worth the money. - seared tuna: also shockingly dry?? It's barely cooked, how is it dry?? Bland. - El Jefe (rice bowl): once again brisket saved the day but the rice was soggy and I just wasn't impressed especially at the price point. - esquites: not up to par with elote or other esquites I've had... this was the start of our dinner and it was on the bottom with the mushroom taco. The portion size was also incredibly small. We ordered 3 for the table and none returned to the kitchen empty. Our waitress was plenty friendly and prompt- we DID enjoy the service. Ultimately though, we all feel like we wasted our money here.

The host was very friendly and answered all of my questions while we waited to be seated inside the bar area. Upon Entry the ambiance was dim lighting and very whimsical. For me the seats are very uncomfortable and low. I really didn't like that. No back support unless you sit on the side against the wall but you are really close to other customers. It's a pretty tight nit spot. Drinks are very pretty and many options to choose from. This would be a place to go to just for the experience not necessarily for the drinks.

The staff did a great job keeping things moving, and once we found a table, the service and food both came out quickly. The confusing part was that it was self-seating despite a line stretching outside the building. Having dozens of people wandering around hunting for tables felt pretty chaotic, and many people seemed frustrated by it. Even the staff seemed more stressed because of the chaos. Overall, the food was good and there were plenty of options. I'd definitely recommend adding a host during busy events. It would make the experience much smoother for everyone.

I was in a chair, that I moved myself from a table. So I wasn't taking a 4 top by myself. I said would move to the end of the bar, so I don't take up too much space. She said "are you not told "no" much?" Then said "move- it's our policy". So. I paid $30 thus far. To go out tonight. I get it. I'm alone. So I sat alone at the bar. To be berated by a middle manager . So now I'm taking up a whole 4 top by myself. Feet up. Not allowing any other guests a chair. Sorry. No. BC it's their "policy". Then she explained, that i can stand there but i can't sit there. Even if I was drinking, and buying drinks all night. And she was so proud of herself. I remember bartending- for 14 years. At places like the Ranch Bowl, Choo Choos, I never remember telling a customer to move bc they sat down, alone. I think what's more important is how excited she was to be a dick. If I was causing a fight, or completely non compliant (Again - alone and said I would move to the end of the empty bar)- then i wouldn't be posting this. Instead. This grumpy bitch ruined my night. A night that I bought tickets for two weeks ago. I almost never go out to bars. I'm 47, so older, and alone. My friends were so happy for me to do this. Maybe- that "policy" works when it's elbow to elbow. But if it's so dead...maybe people sitting at the end of the bar is a good thing. I mean, I don't know for sure, just 14 years bartending, 3 degrees on business and marketing, own multiple business that have been operating for over 20 years, fluent in 2 languages, with documented credentials, Means I might have a perspective that says- don't be a dick needlessly. There is a time and a place to stand on rules. There's also a way to treat ask people politely. Especially in Omaha, Ne. Most of the time, people in the Midwest will not respond negatively, unless you're a completely asshole when you approach them. Slowdown- I don't know her name. She is wearing A black top and has her blonde hair pulled up. Seems likes she hates her job. This bartender was so excited to be a dick. It was so weird. Happy to discuss this more with anyone willing to listen.

Half of the games were out of order and the other half ate our points to play the games. I will say, there were a lot of fun games that I haven't seen before. I also noticed, there wasn't a sole attendant for games or prizes and I think that might help as the bartenders were slammed behind the bar and couldn't help. The environment wasn't very clean and glasses were left behind at several games. Safe to say, I don't think I'll be making a trip back to Capitol Arcade.

I ordered a martini, she grabbed fried pickles and a Mango Madness, and from the moment we walked in the customer service was rough. The first server barely acknowledged us, and everything after that followed the same half‑effort energy.

My wife ordered a second drink and yep... they forgot that too. To be fair, the fried pickles were good, but that was the only thing that hit.
