    Pretty chill bar where the atmosphere is great and the drinks are too. If you are looking for low-key chill place to have a drink and hang out this is the bar for you.

    Husband and I decided to stop in a whim last night. First impression is that the place is spacious with a chill vibe. We liked that the music wasn't playing super loud and you could talk to each other easily. I like the wallpapers 70's Vibe. Their drink menu is really expansive I think anyway could find something they like. The bartender was the nonchalant type but you could tell he was experienced. I asked what their sweetest drink was and he asked did I want him to make him something. I took him up on his offer and was glad I did. The drink had a subtle sweetness and freshness to it. One of the best drinks I've had in a bar. My husband ordered the bragging rights drink and loved his selection as well. I think we will definitely be back!

    Stopped by around 8:30 on Saturday and the place quickly filled up. The crowd was a huge variety of all different types of people, so I really feel that most everyone would feel comfortable and welcome here. Drinks are a little pricey, but I was grateful they had some NA options and I had a few Athletic brewing NA IPAs. Bartenders were fine, no complaints there. I didn't interact with them much. We sat at a table at the booths by the window, and didn't have any service to our seat. We ordered at the bar each time. The place got pretty packed pretty quickly. My chair was hit by people lots of times as they tried to squeeze by. There is a weird flow of high tops and the booths and the bar, and it seemed like there wasn't a great path or way to get past the crowds. Nothing they can really do to solve this, just an observation. Decor and vibe were laid back and fun, not a dance party, but lively.

    True American is a fun addition to Leavenworth. The decor is very mid century, and we were there around Christmas, where they had the placed decked out in decor. Add in the moody lighting, and it really sets the vibes. Prices are a little high at $14/cocktail , so to me, this is a "one drink stop" unless I'm ready to splurge a bit. All the drink options are interesting, so you're definitely paying for quality and creativity. We had a server take our orders at the table. He was kind and helpful in navigating the menu. One small thing, the women's restroom was a mess and only 1 of the stalls had toilet paper. A worker had come in to also use the restroom, and she seemed aware of the issue but didn't appear to address it.

    This bar was packed on a Sunday. It's giving neighborhood bar, with elevated cocktails. It's very eclectic and heavily decorated. Has some fun elements like a Photo Booth, disco ball and erratic decor. I was impressed by the quality and detail of the cocktails. Would for sure come back.

    I stopped in around 4pm on a Saturday, as I was next door for a reception. It was quiet, with a few patrons in house. This was nice because it allowed me to chat with the bartender, who took a generous amount of time explaining some of the cocktails to me. I started with opted for a spicier margarita, but then I look to my left, and I see what looks like the most delectable espresso martini. they shared that they back wash the vodka, and while I still don't know what that means, it did ensure that it was absolutely fabulous. I enjoyed and savored every sip. They are pricier, to me, an older millenial, but it was worth every penny. Everything about this bar is inviting, the huge windows, the cool decor, the retro wall paper, and the staff. They made me feel welcome as a solo patron. Will definitely be back hopefully with group!

    There isn't a parking lot so you're stuck parking in the neighborhood which is a little chaotic. There's a few sharable snack options. We tried the Good Ass Popcorn (Chicago mix) and Chips & Salsa. They hit the spot for a little happy hour snack. The cocktail menu is super fun. A little pricey but it's part of the experience. They had Tank 7 on tap which is also a green flag for me at a bar . Great spot to happy hour with friends!!!

    What a cute bar! This bar has small town feel meets liberal energy meets celebratory aesthetic :) the service was quick, kind, and helpful! There is a small outdoor area and a photo booth to take cute pics (wasn't working when we went but tons on the wall). The drinks aren't too strong but have a nice little kick to them while tasting amazing. ~$14 for a cocktail which is a little bit more than I typically like to pay but their drinks are on the more unique side so I found it well worth the money!

    Great place to meet near downtown with a beautiful patio setting. Excellent drinks and alcohol forward. Friendly wait staff and premium cocktails!! The only drawback is no private parking lot, street parking only.

    Bar and seating

    True American is the best bar on Leavenworth. Really. Are you looking for Nite Owl vibes with a golden disco ball? This is the place for you. In addition to being one of the few bars in Omaha that has Old Style, there's a big focus on craft cocktails. If you're into wine, they have a red, a white, and something sparkly. No champagne on tap, but not necessary with the kind of menu you're getting. Good mix of classics and interesting takes with the cocktails. The decor is vegan leather and gold, with enough glitz and glamour to take it to classy level. They're not afraid to get weird, though, because there was a Nick Cage movie playing on the TV tucked in the corner. The photo booth is a big draw, with different printouts plastered through the bar to showcase the cream of the crop. The clientelle is chatty and polite, but is split into the usual groups of couples at the bar, groups at the large tables, and foursomes at the hightops. There's a patio with ashtrays at every table and umbrellas at half of the them, so it's definitely a great place to take a breather. Music choice is top notch. Fits the atmosphere with a bass-heavy focus but not thumping in your chest. Ranges between alt, indie, funk, and a few other genres. Groovy, not dancey. Snacks are good but minimal since there's no kitchen. They have food trucks come by often, and even some events with house food on the grill. I've been on Leavenworth. I've crawled up and down Leavenworth. I've stumbled back from Leavenworth. True American is worth a visit, again and again and again.

    Spicy margarita

    True American is a fun bar off Leavenworth that is definitely worth checking out! I love the decor, from the warm wood to the fun, 70's wallpaper and disco ball. The patio is a great spot for a nice night out, and is perfect for a fun night with friends! The photo booth is a lot of fun as well, though a little expensive to use. The drinks are good, and they have some great specialty cocktails on the menu. Both times I've visited, the waitresses were super nice and had great suggestions. I enjoyed the spicy margarita I ordered one visit because it was refreshing, though it wasn't very spicy at all. True American always has a fun feel, and I've always visited earlier in the night, but is a nice relaxing environment. This is a great spot to get together with friends, because of lots of comfortable seating and it not being too loud to have a conversation. There are games available too, which is fun! They have special events with food trucks, comedians, and more, so definitely check those out!

    The Bartender that served us was very unfriendly . Didn't want to make any suggestions and seemed very disinterested in us. No eye contact

    I went to Memoir for my birthday and cannot say enough good things! Staff were super friendly and…read moreaccommodating, even presented a happy birthday sign with drinks. We had drinks and light bites, which was the perfect way to start a birthday evening in an elevated environment. Adrianna, the general manager, was especially gracious. Will keep coming back, especially for special occasions!

    Amazing Omaha Gem: Memoir is a Must-Visit!…read more This was my second visit to Memoir, and I'm simply blown away. This spot is a 10/10--glorious, delicious, and an absolute vibe. The food is incredible, the space is stylish, and the service is top-notch. I brought my mother, partner, and our 8-month-old, and we all had the best time. Appetizer Highlights (Run, Don't Walk!): We started with three appetizers, and all were phenomenal: Potato Pouffs: Seriously one of my favorite appetizers ever. They are creamy and potatoey inside, served with an incredible aioli. Whipped Ricotta: Served atop the lightest, most flavorful focaccia I've ever tasted. Brussels Sprouts: They absolutely rule. Entrees & Drinks: I enjoyed the Herbal Tree drink (light, refreshing, and comes with unlimited refills--bonus!). For the main course, I had the Salmon over Sweet Corn Risotto. It tasted exactly like summer, even on a chilly fall day; I'd 100% get this again. My mother, who had never ordered steak and eggs before, took a gamble on their version and was thrilled. It's possibly the most affordable and elevated version I've seen, featuring a beautifully cooked steak with chimichurri and a super elevated potato cake (the hashbrown). Verdict: We are so lucky to have Memoir in Omaha. Go make memories ASAP!
