    A group of friends and I came out for the Halloween festivities at The Capitol District. It was pretty fun! Unfortunately both times I've been out to the Capitol District it was basically dead. Definitely didn't have the vibe I was looking for. You'd think with the set up (outdoor patio, the surrounding bars and big screens) it'd be a more happening place. Definitely disappointed.

    I've been to a couple of Nebraska football games here to watch on the big screen. Love the big screen! Nice that they have tables sitting around or you can bring your own lawn chair and sit. Just wish they had a better choice of food and drink during the game. Not a huge fan of the places that they have which is very limited and recently went to watch an 11:00 AM game. KETV had a segment the Friday before on their Welcome to the Weekend segment stating that the game once again would be on the big screen with many tables and even heaters at the tables which was certainly intriguing as it was supposed to be quite chilly for the first few hours. My friends and I arrived 30 minutes before the game to find not one table. They had all been stored away already and the igloos that you can rent had taken the place of all the tables. Security that was working there had no knowledge of any advertisement for the game so I was thankful we brought our lawn chairs which was kind of a bummer to eat in without a table. Not one heater in sight. Ended up getting a slice of pizza from the only place that was open down there which would not have been my first choice. Next time I will try to remember there is a new Kum and Go in the District which I could've went and got a cheaper slice of pizza from and perhaps enjoyed even more! Super poor planning.

    Love Capital District :) All of the bars are fun - each different in their own way. Perfect place to go with friends.

Because I am a woman in my mid forties, I HAD to try one of their specials aptly named "Hello Kitty"; but make her hot! I do love a strong hazelnut flavor to my lattes and this gal didn't disappoint. Very smooth, zero irritation on the stomach, with a smidge of a caramel kick at the end. Requested oat milk out of preference - or maybe habit? - but she was wonderful.

Really patient and kind when I realized I hadn't specified decaf for my coffee drink, and remade it immediately. Can't wait to return for open-mic night or one of their other events!

They've really kept a lot of the historical elements and pay homage to the postal service. I had a skinny hot latte, and a bagel sandwich for breakfast. I co-worked at a large table for hours, and finished with a chicken pesto sandwich. Both the bagael sandwich and the pesto were great! Nothing tasted microwaved. It was very gourmet. The staff is super friendly and its overall pretty quiet even when busy. I cant wait to go back.

The staff is very friendly, and offered recommendations from the menu since I was unsure about what to choose. There was a variety of seating, and even an extra room full of chairs and beautiful natural lighting, complete with a view of the Durham! The setting is beautiful, classy, and upscale while being the perfect location to work. The music is relaxing as well, and I would love to have future study sessions here. I ordered the Orange Spice Tea Latte, and it was absolutely delicious. I loved the zest the orange added, while being milky and having the perfect amount of spice. It was absolutely delicious, and I would return simply for this. I also tried the Chive Biscuit Sandwich, which was a bit dry but otherwise good. The parking situation was not the most ideal, but to be expected in this part of Omaha. I was able to locate a spot but it was a tight squeeze and across on the bridge, but I would come again.

It was busy inside so not sure if they locked up early to tend to remaining patrons or if they were having a private event. We came back the next day & gave it another go. We loved the setting and the location. They also have Foxy Sushi inside, (potentially) a nice change from pizza but we didn't try it. We ordered 2 brews & paid cash. Both were good. There was one occupied table & we were at the bar top. The barkeep told us about the tours which seem well worth coming in for & about the owners & brewers. Our beers were both good & we didn't try the spirits. Parking could be difficult but we timed it well!

Service was great. There is a big room that can be rented, it's a beautiful space, somehow spacious while still feeling cozy. The only thing I don't like about this place is that there really isn't any food to eat except pretzels and chips. Though you can order pizza from Zio's and they will bring it over. They said they are going to be adding a sushi menu, which seems kind of odd. But I don't like going out to drink unless I can get something to eat with it as well - and most of the local breweries fall short here. So I definitely will check out the sushi once it is available.

    The Durham Museum is in the old Union Station. I'm glad they were able to preserve the building…read morebecause it really is spectacular. There are many permanent displays about Omaha history, and there are train cars you can walk through; enthusiastic docents are often there to answer any questions. There are temporary exhibits here as well, and in the summers they will have something cool that the whole family will enjoy. There are lots of programs here, many of them free with admission or membership. I do recommend getting a membership if you think you might want to come at least a couple times in a year. And you probably will want to! There is a soda fountain/snack bar area. The ice cream is great! The food is okay. It's a museum and not a lunch destination. The museum is located right next to Omaha's Old Market.

My first visit was…read moreduring a free event honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and this most recent trip was with a group for the "Negro Motorist Green Book" exhibit. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. The museum provided discounted tickets for our nonprofit group, communicated clearly throughout the planning process, and had a tour guide ready who found us right away. That level of organization and customer care made a big difference. The exhibit itself was powerful and deeply educational, highlighting the history of the Green Book and the realities African American travelers faced during segregation. Through artifacts, photographs, and personal stories, it sparked meaningful conversations--especially among our younger visitors. I also really appreciate the museum's intentionality around inclusivity and programming. You can feel that it's a space designed to educate and welcome a wide range of audiences. The museum itself is on the smaller side, with exhibits primarily on the lower level, which actually made it manageable for our group to move through at different paces. My kids love the super long train you can walk through and the nearby play area. Practical perks matter too--there's plenty of parking (a huge plus), and they even offer umbrella strollers to borrow, which is incredibly thoughtful for families. Overall, a meaningful, well-run experience that I would absolutely recommend--whether you're visiting on your own, with family, or as part of a group.
