Burlington is a charming sportsbar/gastropub in an older building along 10th street in downtown Omaha. The size of the place was smaller than I imagined, but it is open concept and we were here for very late lunch and had no issue getting a table. I appreciate the variety of local beers available on tab and in a bottle. The food didn't blow me out of the water, my husband and I shared fished tacos and while the quality was fine, from a flavor perspective I have had better. After our meals we checked out the cellar downstairs that can be rented for private events, which again offered a ton of charm. Burlington is worth putting on your list of places to check out downtown. read more

Good place for reasonably priced basic drinks. I like the pub vibe. No menu really though for drinks. Expect to order something simple. Waiter said the QR code at the table hasn't been updated in years. Overall it's still a vibe! read more

One of my very favorite spots when I am in town. Great service, and beer selection. The food is really good and it's a solid neighborhood bar and grill. Always look forward to returning,. read more

I really loved the setup of the cozy bar and the open-air concept; it's a great place to enjoy a drink. However, I gave it three stars because I was recommended the hamburger, and it turned out to be quite a disappointment. I'm not typically picky when it comes to food, but it was well past well-done--almost inedible. Despite this, I was still enjoying my time there. I'm willing to give it another chance. read more

Overall a very nice place. Inside was clean and spacious even though a small place. Felt more bar like but the burger was better than average. Not very crowded when we were there and I'd definitely go back. The Moscow mules were great too. Also server and all staff interacted were very polite. read more

If yelp could give half star ratings I would give this place a solid 3.5 star. It's a nice and clean restaurant, off the beaten path. It's location is a couple blocks south of Old Market. It wasn't that busy when we went - which was around 6pm. They do have a nice selection of bottled and canned beers but a smaller tap list. We both got different burgers. The burgers weren't anything to write home about. Mine was medium well done which caused it to be dry - I personally prefer some pink in mine. French fries were actually pretty good - well seasoned. read more

My friends and I went here last weekend to grab some food and drink before a high school football game and it was an okay experience. The staff was super nice and awesome. The location is cool and in the main dining area, they have a bar seating area that is half open to the outside, which is cool. The concept kind of reminds me of a tiki bar on a beach or something. I ordered the Hang N burger with their fries. For a $13.50 burger, you expect it to be top notch. My burger was dry and way overcooked. The toppings it came with were fine, and their sauce, can't remember the name of it, was bland and unoriginal. All in all, if I go back to the Burlington League, I will definitely have to try something different. read more

First visit back to Burlington League since COVID. I found the food to be average this time around. The quesadilla while good had very little chicken. The chicken tenders were also good. The fries however were floppy and not prepared quite right. The onion rings lacked flavor. Still a solid beer selection. For some reason the place was empty at 5 on Sunday. We were the only customers the entire time we were there. I'll give it another try as all prior experiences were great. read more

Modern and at one time a mysterious bar in construction, The Burlington League is open and ready for business! First up, parking. The parking is easy, just along 10th on the bridge or one of the side streets. Once entering, Burlington has an open floor plan on the main floor, with variety of seating (bar, high tops, regular tables). The decor is modern and simplistic, but I like the light fixtures and oversize wall art. Downstairs there is a gorgeous second bar area. Can't wait to come back on a busy night to mingle down there. On this first visit, I made it there at 6pm, just 30 mins before happy hour was over. The menu is a mix of appetizers, burgers and sandwiches/fried bites. Tastefully done for bar food if you ask me. We tried the pretzel bites, wings, chili dog, and Mac and cheese burger. Pretzel bites and wings were excellent, and the chili dog was pretty decent although a little salty for me. The dog was snappy, which I love. The Mac and cheese burger was a little bit of a miss, but I would try other burgers again. Service was a little slow considering that it was 6 o'clock on a Tuesday and they were not even full. We had to go up to the bar to ask for refills of our beers and drinks which my dining partners did not like. Hopefully they hire more staff or become more attentive because I cannot see that working out well when the place is crowded. Overall I think this is going to be a really fun place to grab happy hour, dinner, or just late night bar food with friends. I can see it being pretty popular on the weekends as well with its nearby nightlife. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon, so it wasn't very busy. I like the setup of the place. Cozy atmosphere, and once the weather warms up it would be fun to sit outdoors. Waiter was quick to give us menus and take our order. My Moscow Mule was made perfectly. We ordered the pretzel bites and quesadillas. The pretzel bites were served with melted cheese and also some whole grain mustard. They were pretty tasty. The quesadillas were good as well. I took a peek at their basement "cellar" area. It's decorated similar to the upstairs. Would be fun to rent for a private party, but again it's a basement so no windows so it is pretty dark. Welcome addition to the 10th street area. Will certainly stop in again! read more

The food here definitely surpass the bar-food expectations. The staff was very accommodating and made us feel very welcomed. Went on a Saturday night, got to experience a little live music. We even got to control the music at the end of the night. Definitely a great girls night out for us. read more

So I don't give out 5 stars very often. Bacon Bleu Burger and fries was excellent . Chicken Ceasar was great as was the Chicken Wrap. The service was good and the place was cool and clean...really couldn't find something to knock them on...despite my best efforts. We would come here again and if it was at home I'd be here ever again. Give it a shot read more

Stopped in for a late night cocktail on a Saturday, the place was basically dead. Maybe cause it was soo cold out. I don't know. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly. The place seemed clean and the pretzel bites my friend got looked tasty. I didn't partake. I can't give 5 stars though because the Whisky sour I had was terrible. So syrupy and sweet and just gross. Maybe less sour, like way way less then it might have been ok. They do have a nice beer selection so maybe I should go that route next time. read more

The Burlington League - Not a great whisky sour - Gastropubs Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Place looks very nice on the outside and in. Went in with a group people and ordered quite a few drinks and food. The alcoholic beverages with soda were flat. The chicken tenders were tough to eat and had little flavor. The Vegas fries were also a little tough to eat. Great service and they dropped the tenders off the table but still was pretty disappointing. read more

I was so totally impressed with this place. Finishes. Food. So good. Classy... not busy on a Saturday. Drink selection was decent as well. Service was friendly. Why isn't this place busier? When can I go back? read more

Terrible service, nobody there, bartender definitely didn't want us there, it was evident. We left.

The Burlington League is a great space in design and function. It has a great vibe that you feel this is your local pub. A large selection of great beers with a very well stocked bar. They can mix up anything that rivals craft cocktail places. The service is friendly and personable. The food is just as great. Some wonderful burgers and he got dogs are smashing! More of a sausage rather than a hot dog. This is a must stop in and will soon be your repeat local bar! read more

I ordered one beer and planned to order food. Waited a half hour... bartender sat on other side of bar with friend and looked at her laptop entire time. I had to interrupt her to pay for my beer and leave. She proceeded to give us the wrong tab out of two tabs. Won't be back. read more

Great spot and great food. We've been in here a lot and love to spend time on the patio with the half in/half out table they have. There are a few servers we see regularly and they do a great job of taking care of us. I'd give it a 5 but an instance where our bartender and a manager had a conversation at the end of the bar was cringe worthy. The short version is she thought she was still drunk, and looked like she slept on a couch. We were the ONLY people in the bar so we might as well have been in the conversation. It's hard to forget a 30-45 minute experience of being stuck in an awkward situation like that. *We haven't seen her in a long time so she may have been fired or moved on. read more

Pretty cool bar just outside of the Old Market district and nicely situated in Omaha's little Italy district. Got their signature burger with Cheddar cheese, great burger no complaints! Pretty nice touch, they brand their burgers with the logo (see pic), and although their draft selection is somewhat small, it more than makes up for that with a good selection on top. We had their strawberry cider and sierra nevada's torpedo, great choices! Definitely recommend this place me very close walking distance to get to Old Market! read more

The wall underneath the bar is padded, so no hitting your knees. However, there are no purse hooks underneath the bar. Not a problem for me as I don't own a purse (I'm a guy), but it's a problem for my wife and thus me, so I have to downgrade by a star. Beer selection and food looks good and respectable. read more

Great drinks, Chili Cheese Dog was a great presentation. I had fish tacos which were delicious, the fish is grilled by the way.

The beginning of something great. I feel like this bar and grill is still trying to figure out what it wants to be, but with a good list of taps, and a short but tasty menu I am looking forward to seeing where they go. We came on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed with people watching their NFL teams battle. The real battle though was the 2 bartenders trying to wait tables and pour drinks. They were doing their best but could have used another set of hands or two. We ordered the fish tacos and a Mac N Cheese burger. We ordered the tacos because they looked like the only healthy intern on the menu. Both were good but missing something to take them to the next level. The menu looked temporary and they also did not have any dessert. I am hoping that they expand their sandwich offering and maybe have some more lighter fare. read more

The Burlington League is approachable, low-key, and delivers on quality and casual, yet attentive service. And they make a mean old-fashioned. It's a good place to catch a game, catch up on work, and socialize, with a good selection of drinks and quality bar food. Might I mention, specifically, the broasted wings with TBL sauce. The wings are always cooked to perfection, with a delicate balance of crispy tenderness. And the housemade blue cheese and ranch dressings - oh my goodness! read more

It's super easy to not notice this place. But it's definitely worth searching for. It's small, but very comfortable. Everything I've had has been great (once a person I went here with had the fish sandwich, which he said wasn't good). The fried chicken sandwich is amazing. read more

Not bad beer selection - came to watch some games and it was pretty empty, which was completely ok with us. Wanted to echo what other people have said re: the burgers - SKIP em. Husband got the Mac + Cheese + Onion Ring Burger = Tasteless and dry. Possibly the worst burger ever eaten. Don't come for the food, come for drinks + TV. read more

Oh yeah. Super good fries. Thick, covered in buffalo sauce. Super good. I also had the chili. It was 3 Star. Okay. The bowl was huge. It was hot and meaty. I also had a mule. Average. The ambience is cool though. And the staff super attentive and nice. Even on a Friday when they are busy. Their tea is only okay. Nothing special. All in all. Not bad. Good place to drink and catch a quick bite. read more

The worst service I have ever experienced, we sat for 15 minutes before ordering and there was only one other table of three. Our food was taken to the wrong table, my water was empty for over 10 minutes. The saltiest burger I have had. read more

BEST BEST BEST FISH SANDWICH IN THE WORLD!!!!! I have no words to describe it other than spectacular! I'm not a French fry person OR a ranch dressing person, but I loved both too! read more

Sitting at the bar, I had green masters salad and broasted wings. Both were delicious. I also sampled a couple of craft beers... they have about 16 tapped and 24 bottles and cans by my estimate. Service was good, especially since the bartender was handling the entire place. Note: Although there is ample seating, this is not a place for large groups unless you call ahead. read more

I really liked this place, comfortable digs, good service and really good food. I loved that they have bar/comfort food type items that are a step above what you'd normally get. Orsi' s bread for the buns, homemade chilli on the chilli dog, plus their own hot dogs made locally. This is also a great place to watch a game, or just come for dinner and drinks. The bartender and the chef were the only two working the night we went, and they totally rocked it, some of the best service I've seen in a while. read more

My wife, daughter, son and 1 yr old grandson decided to grab a bite to eat after visiting the Durham Museum. This was on Dec. 9 at around 2:30 PM or so. We walked into the place and there was no one there except the server/bartender (looked to be maybe late 30s/early 40s male). The first thing he said to us was "we don't have any high chairs or booster seats". That should have been our clue to turn around and leave. We didn't. The service was sub-par at best. The server gave off the impression that he was being inconvenienced. We ordered some drinks, appetizers and entree items. The food was generally pretty good although my Swiss Mushroom burger was pretty bland and dry. The fries weren't great unless you like them underdone and limp. The server never checked in with us on whether we were enjoying the food, never asked if we wanted another drink or a re-fill. When he wasn't bringing our food/drinks he was on his phone...several times with his back to us. We had to get his attention several times for some additional items. Lastly, the place was completely devoid of any Christmas/holiday decor or music. The music was mostly metal. This ranks at the top of my worst dining experiences...anywhere...let alone Omaha. read more

Was referred by a fellow Yelper as best burger in town. I have been on a quest to find the best. They do not disappoint! First the place itself is urban, relaxing and a feeling of hanging out with your buddies. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I did try The Burlington Burger! It was delicious! A little dry or maybe very lean beef but the flavor was outstanding! Perfectly cooked, beefy but not an enormous burger so I didn't feel bad eating the whole thing! They served it with hand cut fries. They were perfect, no too crispy, not greasy, not overly salty just right on every note! Definitely will be back for more burgers! read more

Best Bacon Bleu Burger ever! The fries were great, and the bartender had perfect timing. Will definitely be back.

Omg, this is the place to go for the best burger in town...I'm a Stella's man through and through, but Burlington has surpassed them on that front...For what I'd consider a very reasonable price, you get a pretty big burger, the one I get of course involves a fried egg and also comes with a side of fries that appears never ending...No joke, they totally don't cheat you on anything here...I also like getting a side of onion rings that come with a great side sauce...Service has always been above reproach...I recommend coming in on a Sunday since they always have a football game or two on and it's usually not as busy as perhaps on other days.... read more

Downtown's 10th Street neighborhood deserves a great establishment like this! Named for the Burlington Station just across the street, the location is great, the decor classy, with an atmosphere and vibe that's pretty great. Bartender Mickey offered great suggestions including the Yard Bird broasted chicken sandwich.... quite delectable. I'm looking forward to my next visit. A solid four stars! read more
