    You should go here. Reasons: Interesting tap list that includes local selections and a variety of styles Curated seasonal cocktail menu Clean bathrooms, possibly the best in Omaha Outdoor patio Food available to-go from neighboring Hook & Lime Fantastic bartenders - knowledgeable, competent, smart, funny and kind Woman-owned Holiday decor is Good view of comings and goings from the Slow Down Never a bad experience Switches to sports bar for the CWS

    We decided to go out for a drink after dinner and noticed The Trap Room was decked out for the holidays! This is fun and festive place to go around the Christmas season... they go all out! Drinks were good, but nothing special. Lowkey, small bar that is a good place to hang out!

    The Trap Room encompasses the funky spirit of the strip it resides in the north downtown. Along with blue line coffee, urban outfitters, film streams, and the slow down it's one of my beloved areas of Omaha. The inside decor I would describe as retro and modern, perhaps even hipster? It's a bar with no real food other than chips and salsa from Jacobo's- but the atmosphere and the vibe is extra chill and fun. I love their little outdoor patio seating for nicer weather. they also drink specials typically every day for happy hour most of them being a really great deal. Definitely a place to catch up with friends or relax after a day of work. Highly recommended. Edit -*02/02/16 Dogs allowed both inside and on the patio!!! Five stars from me, I never like to leave my baby behind at home while I have all the fun. Thank you for being dog friendly, Trap Room!

    So this is the tip I left: "$5 bloody marys on Sundays till 4 p.m." And let me tell you their bloodys are top notch. Each one took nearly five minutes to make as we patiently sat snacking on peanuts and Jacobo's chips and salsa, just relaxing our lazy Sunday afternoon away into the evening. And the taste of the bloodys? Well, only a hint of spice, just how I like 'em, garnished with a pickle, celery stick and two fat little green olives. And that's just a taste of their menu, which features many craft cocktails, beer, fine wine, liquor flights and even margaritas on tap. So the drinks are good. What about the rest? As others have mentioned, the Trap Room is decked out like the basement bar your grandparent's had put in their house in the '70s. Except it's not damp and moldy, but rather clean, cozy and full of a rustic charm that blends mountain man with Mexican siestas. I was amazed by the burnt orange shag-like carpeting. (Like I have a room in my house decked out in wood paneling that would pair perfectly with it.) Anyway, the L-shaped bar has plenty of seats. Across the small room is a section of booths and tables plus a corner for listening to vinyl or tapes on Karen Carpenter's old stereo setup (seriously those where her giant Tannoy speakers). Add in a Twilight Zone pinball machine and a fantastic patio, and you have an all-around great bar/lounge that's a unique concept for Omaha, a concept that's pulled off to perfection.

    Staff is rude and unfriendly, they are very unwelcoming and it's a shame because the cocktails are good. Definitely will not be returning.

The space is super cute and bigger than I expected. I love that the windows open up and give it an indoor/outdoor vibe, and the tropical décor makes it feel fun and cozy at the same time. There's plenty of seating, and they can fit both small and big groups. We were a party of about eight and were still able to find a good spot together. Something I really liked is that they let you bring food from other places since they don't serve any, which is perfect if you want to hang out for a while. Their drink menu is huge, and the presentation is honestly amazing. When we first got there it was slow, but it definitely got busier as the night went on. We did struggle a bit when it was time to check out because all the servers were running around, so just be ready for that on a busy night. Overall, we had a great time. The drinks were really good, the vibe was great, and I'd definitely go back.

It was kind of confusing whether we had to go order at the bar or if someone was going to come take our order, but eventually someone came to us. I got the Exotic Bird and it was definitely my favorite drink out of the group. The seating was a bit of a challenge as we had to seat ourselves and we had a decently large group, so we had to wander around for a bit trying to find a spot, but we eventually did. I'll probably be back to try more drinks, but maybe when they are less busy!

The duck was cooked perfectly and the bok choy that came with it added a perfect amount of crunch and mustard flavor. The tagliatelle was rich and the variety of mushrooms in the sauce added so much umami. We look forward to returning!

The space itself is nice, and…read morethe tree at the center of the bar is genuinely cool--but if you're seated off to the side, that focal point doesn't really translate into the overall vibe. Drinks are expensive for what you get. I tried their premium old-fashioned, and honestly, it was no better than a standard old-fashioned elsewhere. Nothing wrong with it, just nothing memorable--certainly not at that price point. Service was slow, which was surprising given that it was a quiet night. On top of that, since the bar is in the hotel basement, there's no cell service. The Wi-Fi password I was given didn't work, which made the experience more frustrating than it needed to be. Overall, it's a visually interesting space, but the combination of pricing, slow service, and connectivity issues made it not my favorite bar experience.

But--I'd discourage going to this part of the hotel. After my experience from the first review, I called and had 2 separate conversations with the manager to try to rectify the situation. He sent the info to accounting and 2 months later, I still hadn't heard anything back. It was clear they didn't consider the situation important enough to look into, so that was really discouraging as an IHG hotels member and have spent a fair amount of money here over the past several years.

We first visited PaC at a Yelp event, but now we are hooked on their popcorn! The cocktails portion of Popcorn and Cocktails is nothing to sneeze at either. They are super smooth and flavorful, and the perfect pairing with a little side of popcorn. They even have pairings on their menu that show you which popcorns go best with each cocktail (and each cocktail actually comes with a side of that popcorn). If you like your side of popcorn that came with your cocktail, you can also purchase a large bag of it to take home! Our favorite popcorns have been the French Toast, Bourbon Bacon Cheddar, and Peanut Butter. They have popcorns for every craving - savory or sweet. And the cocktail we've liked the best was the Summer Peach - which literally came with a peach candy on the rim! So easy to drink and a little sweet.
