Leftover holiday décor (maybe from multiple holidays?) and a setup full of TVs, a pool table, and darts gave it more of a sports bar feel. To their credit, the bar itself is impressive, and the cocktail menu is clearly curated with intention. But overall, it feels more like a dressed-up dive bar than a polished spot. We played pool and had a good time, but honestly, it might serve them better to embrace the casual scene and rebrand--maybe just "The Lion"--to better fit the crowd and vibe. There's potential here, just needs clearer direction.

The bar is kinda small but the servers are quick. I know they do Wiener Wednesday but I'm not sure about any other food. There is a bit of smell in the air but it's easy to forget after a while. Decent prices on well drinks. I did feel like I stood out but didn't feel completely unwelcome

Deanna was my bartender when I decided to try a night out. Deanna was so kind & made me feel more…read morecomfortable (I have social anxiety). Deanna made the hands down best Old Fashioned i've had in years. She suggested the pretzel bites... so. good. Deanna also kindly made cocktails all evening and there wasn't one that wasn't perfect & so tasty. Cindy was my bartender before Deanna got there and she didn't greet me or offer me anything to drink for roughly 45 min... i didn't get too offended because she did have a party but then i noticed she had other help behind the bar and even they didn't serve/greet me. I've also been to Pipeline where i've seen Cindy behind the bar, and it was the same treatment. Seems she might just get a lil too tipsy on shifts? I have been back on most Sundays because I know Deanna will be my girl behind the bar. Deanna is a dime & 10/10 service. Cindy... not so much. Thank you, Deanna for easing my anxiety, great cocktails & your kind heart.

They were amazing. I wish they still had them! The bar has not changed! I like the comfortable chairs and the divey yet cozy overall feeling. The service was good and the bartenders are super nice. We ordered the Smashburger and the Philly. Both were very good. I like that you can get a single Smashburger patty as most places only make doubles. The drinks were good and strong and reasonably priced. I will definitely be back!

Inkwell is my favorite small, moody cocktail bar in Omaha. My friend and I discovered it because…read moreit's halfway between our houses, and it quickly became our go-to spot. The Old Fashioneds are some of the best I've had anywhere, and Aaron is one of the most talented mixologists in the city. In fact, Aaron is a big reason many people keep coming back. He's exceptional at what he does, and every drink reflects that level of skill. The espresso martinis are fantastic, but the "Not Espresso Martini" was an unexpected favorite that kept us coming back. One of the things I love most is that the menu changes seasonally, giving us a reason to come back and work our way through the new cocktails to find our latest favorite. The bartenders are knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about their craft. The atmosphere is cozy, intimate, and full of character. There are actual typewriters throughout the space, which perfectly fits the literary theme and adds to the experience. As a fun touch, my friend always receives a book with her receipt and reads a random paragraph before we leave. It's those little details that make Inkwell feel like a hidden gem rather than just another bar. If you're looking for creative cocktails, talented bartenders, and a unique atmosphere, Inkwell is absolutely worth a visit. Such a vibe.

I've been to Inkwell Bar many times and it's been a reliable go-to for a while now. It's a small,…read moreintimate space--maybe seats around 30, with room for more if people are standing--so don't come expecting a big, loud bar. That's actually part of the appeal. Drinks are solid and consistently well made. Nothing gimmicky, just good cocktails done right. The ambiance is fair but comfortable, and the size makes it ideal if you're looking to have a real conversation with someone without yelling over music or crowds. Location is another plus. It's very convenient if you want a drink before or after a Westside game, or just need a low-key stop nearby. If you're after a cozy, intimate spot with good drinks and a relaxed vibe, Inkwell Bar delivers.

But that was the highlight I was most looking forward to. There wasn't much flavor of anything else, either. Even the chili spice sugar garnish on the rim was lackluster. Pity. Decor was okay, but it smelled kind of sour inside, as if cleaning hadn't been done properly or often. Same with the seating outdoors--dingy, sagging, unkempt. Bar area seemed a bit disorganized, and something sticky was on the outside of my drink that got on my hands right as I received it. Service was friendly but just okay--it wasn't too busy when we arrived, and we still had to wait an incommensurate amount of time for drinks. Overall, not much to impress. Recommend a pass on this place.

My new favorite dive bar! We stopped into this place on the most cliché day of the year, and still…read morehad a blast! Yes, St. Patty's Day. This bar has about as diverse of a crowd as any dive-bar loving person could ask for. The old Irishmen sit at the bar sipping Jameson, while people of all ages flutter around. It's just dark enough in here to be super cozy, and the bartenders have a warmth to them that you just don't see everywhere. Did I mention their drink strength rivals the Green Onion? Standing there waiting for a drink, I talked to the cutest 50-ish couple ever, who told me they feel like someone's really "taking care of them" when they are at Cohen and Kelly's. The wife said she'd even come sit there for a drink by herself, if her hubby was out of town. She was sure that nothing bad could happen to her! Folks, this is the type of place that will die off if not supported- LONG LIVE THE DIVE BAR! Just one thing holding it back from five stars- it's cash only- my biggest pet peeve!
