First time at West End Omaha and I'm already plotting my return. Showed up yesterday on a random snowy afternoon while visiting friends in the area--heard nothing but good things, and wow, it delivered. Walked in around 2:30 pm on a total snow day and basically had the place to myself, which was kind of perfect. The vibe inside is exactly what I want in a bar: dark, moody, a little sexy, with dim lighting and rich wood tones. Total escape from the bland strip-mall parking lot outside. Night-and-day difference the second you step through the door. Happy hour runs every day until 6 pm (huge win), so I grabbed the Toasted & Roasted martini for $9--yes, it comes with a toasted marshmallow garnish that actually works--and it was dangerously good. Sweet, smoky, strong... one of those drinks you sip slowly because you don't want it to end. Paired it with the buffalo chicken sliders + fries and demolished everything. Sliders were spicy without being overkill, sauce was on point, and the fries were perfectly crispy. Service was friendly and quick even though it was quiet, and the bartender checked in just the right amount. Prices felt fair (especially with happy hour), and the whole experience just felt... cool. Like the kind of neighborhood spot you brag about finding. Already texted my local friends that they've been sleeping on this place. West End Omaha, I'll be back--hopefully next time with a bigger group so we can try more of the menu. Highly recommend!
I visited WestEnd with some friends to celebrate a birthday. The space is pretty large, and we had no problem getting a table. I was really impressed with the large cocktail menu, and I was so happy that they had quite a few true mocktails since I'm pregnant. I tried the virgin spicy marg, which was great and definitely spicy! I also had the brisket quesadilla which was very tasty. Thursdays is 25% off if you show your teacher badge :)
It was packed inside - definitely hopping on a Friday night. But the service was still fast, friendly, and helpful. And the music selection was great, playing old (Take Me Home Country Roads by John Denver) and new (A Bar Song by Shaboozey) hits. I loved my blueberry lemon mule, and my husband enjoyed the watermelon special. The Really, Really Onion dip was phenomenal (the house chips are some of the best I've ever had), and the dumplings were pretty good too. Brussel sprouts were a little crispier than I like, but that's entirely a preference thing.
Met up with a friend for happy hour on a Thursday and we grabbed a spot on the covered patio! I had a Captain & Coke, and my friend went with the French Blonde. For appetizers, we shared the truffle fries and the crispy roasted Brussels sprouts (hands down the highlight of the night). If I could figure out how to make those at home, they'd be a weekly staple. So flavorful, with a hint of BBQ glaze and crispy bacon bits that added the perfect crunch. Our server was friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back!
What a cute and cozy atmosphere! You walk in and just seat yourself & the waiter came over with water very quickly upon our arrival. They also had a heated patio area that you can sit at too. The drinks were sweet but not overly sweet and didn't have that strong alcohol taste, which I prefer! I was also glad they had a pick 3 option as well because there were so many things that I wanted to try and I was glad I went with the pick 3 because everything was exceptional. I will definitely be back!
This is a great spot for drinks and apps. If you're looking for a couples night out, this definitely has a great vibes. It's informal but upscale-ish. Like you could dress up, or dress down and fit right in. We came on a Saturday night. I opted for an espreso martini, it's a little creamier than i care for but it was still good. Like a crazy person I switched to a spicy skinny marg. I liked it. I like that they have an extensive mocktail menu, and 1/2 strength drinks! We also got some apps and some entrees. Very good portions, a little pricey, but not too much else to mention. Service is quick, bathrooms were clean, and the food was great! It's not just bar food, they really put effort into their menu.
Came for the yummy gummy martini stayed for a light lunch. We had the chicken quesadilla and meatballs. Would absolutely order both again! The staff were friendly and were quick to serve and help us.
We came within the first hour of opening today. Service was a friendly smile and attitude. Definitely good service to start. The room is dimly lit for intimate conversations. Plenty of seating and they had patio service as well if we wanted. Neat artwork on the walls and two big screens that were playing music videos throughout our time there. Our drinks came out quickly. We ordered the pick 3: crispy brussel sprouts, truffle fries, grilled wings/west wing style. They came out in decent time but weren't quite hot.. more like they had been left room temp for a lil longer than finish to table. The fries were good despite their temperature. Very crispy and a nice aioli to pair with. The brussels were also delicious despite temperature. Very tasty. The wings were the hottest thing on the tray. So juicy and flavorful. Would definitely get again! So I assume they made the fries and brussels before the wings were done. I didn't find it bothersome enough to speak up. Still don't but can see how others might. Perhaps they need to do a different way of preparing so that everything is hot and fresh not just one of three. Just my take! As for drinks. I got the BestEnd Margarita which was alright in comparison to others. Not the best. I then got the Buchanan's colada off the limited time menu and that was fire! Should be permanently on the menu but that's my taste. My friend got the strawberry martini hold the spice and she enjoyed it. Overall decent first time and will try again if out that way
Visited with a friend for a weeknight happy hour. It's an upscale but comfortable vibe inside, and we grabbed seats at the bar. Nice cocktail and martini menu, I tried a mule and a margarita. Presentation was nice and cocktails were refreshing. We also shared the "pick 3" appetizer. There is plenty of food to share and all very good! The bartender was very friendly and checked on us often. Will definitely keep this spot in the happy hour rotation!
We went for HH & took advantage of their drinks & appetizers menu. Their cocktails have a flair for sure & what we appreciate is a pour to the top! I have a few favorites, but if you can't choose they have a flight of 4 martinis to sample for $26. Their onion dip with hand cut chips are a must try! I enjoy their chickpea hummus with pita chips, altho I wish they had carrots. They also serve flavorful grilled wings. They have a good selection of bar food/snacks. It's a comfortable setting & we always look forward to going.
Tried this place for happy hour. There was just a few others in the place when we went. The service was pretty good and the food came out quickly. The cocktail I had was decent. It was sweet but refreshing. The sliders were decent. Overall everything was filling but left me wanting more. The place was quiet and a good place for conversation. May come back for drinks.
Overall a nice place. Went for happy hour and got the old fashion cocktail. That thing was strong. Also tried the brussel sprouts, truffle fries and bacon and all were tasty. Drinks on the more expensive side even at happy hour. Would like to see them about $2 cheaper all around.
We stopped at the WestEnd Lounge specifically to try their martini flight, where you get to choose four drinks to create your own flight. Our favorites were the Gummy Bear Martini and Espresso Martini! They're served in cute smaller glasses rather than traditional martini glasses, making it a fun option to split with someone. We were way too full to order food, but they have a large menu and everything coming out of the kitchen looked great. The atmosphere is also a nice balance -- casual enough for a night out with friends but a little more sophisticated than your typical sports bar. It would be a great date-night stop too! read more
Super lively lounge. Great for a game or to hangout with friends. You can tell it feels like a community. They have a big menu full of appetizers, brunch, sliders, martinis, cocktails, wine, beer, shooters, and mocktails. The street corn dip was pretty tasty and came out fast for how busy it was. The orange Julius martini was excellent! Tastes Just like the drink it's based off of. Super creamy and creamy. Prices are fair too read more
I don't make it out this far West Omaha, but WestEnd made me want to start! Everything was fantastic! Service, drinks, food, and vibes! We were decently early on a Saturday night so we were able to slip right into a table! The food was good, I had the hummus plate with pita and cucumbers for dipping, love that they offer both options! The bartender whipped up a mocktail in a martini glass so I could still play along on our "Martini Flight Night" across Omaha! It was a spicy martini, with some fancy black salt, I'm not quite sure, but it was fantastic! read more

Visited this place way out in west Omaha for a quick happy hour and apps after work with a couple of friends! Inside was a dark somewhat "boujee" atmosphere many tables and a bar to sit at. they also had an enclosed patio with removable clear walls, TVs on the wall, and different seatings available. We chose to sit on the patio because it was finally a nice day out! We started with some drinks. one of my friends got their margarita, which came with black salt on the rim and myself and my friend both got an elderberry gin drink. The gin drink was super yummy! wasn't too strong which I liked, but still had a good kick to it. Us three also shared a yummy gummy martini, and wow this drink was good! It had a sour mix in it and it was a perfect drink that did taste like candy, this one was strong tho so drink with caution ;) For appetizers we got 3 different ones. Some truffle fries with garlic aioli sauce was first and this one as a showstopper. I don't know how they made these fries so good but I couldn't stop eating them! we also got the Margherita pizza which was super delicious as well, and it surprisingly was a good size so it was perfect for sharing as well. Finally had the spinach artichoke dip. The dip had good flavor, maybe a bit short on the cheese but that's just my preference! I also wished it came with tortilla chips or pita chips instead of slices of toast. The toast was too filling and hard to scoop with the dip. the service here was fantastic! they were great with keeping our waters filled the entire time and was always around to ask if we wanted another drink or appetizer. Had great timing with taking empty dishes away as well, which is always appreciated :) overall was very pleased with this place for drinks and apps, will try and come here again :) read more

This was a "first outing" for many in our party of 10 since the pandemic hit. WestEnd was able to arrange the outdoor patio to seat us and reserve the spot. Calling to reserve it was very easy and the gal I spoke with was very friendly and helpful! It was only 50 plus degrees outside and windy but the plastic over the windows blocked the wind and their AMAZING heaters made it quite comfortable! Our server was amazing! He kept on top of all of our drinks and food orders with ease. We tried probably most of their appetizers as we all shared. Everything was very good, maybe a bit pricey, but delicious and worth it! We even ordered a few "CrackerJack Caramel Sundaes" to share and wow those are good as well!! read more

Oh my we were hungry!!! So many choices made us over-order maybe? We started with the Truffle fries which were crispy and delicious. The overwhelming favorite were the cheeseburger sliders. I guess you can never go wrong with a cheeseburger. The Buffalo sliders were also really good. Buffalo dip was good but came with seasoned chips which was just a little much. I think regular chips would be a better choice. The meatballs were hardy and filling but not a lot of flavor. It was hard to hold a conversation because it was so loud. However it was Friday night and very busy. The service was exceptional as all the servers had all the tables and were regularly checking on us. Definitely returning and maybe will try the patio for possibly a quieter atmosphere. read more

We recently stopped in to begin a night out after hearing great things about their appetizer menu. And they did not disappoint! For being around the holidays, the staff was ON IT! Very nice, attentive, and helpful! Although it is more of a "bar" and the music was louder, we had no trouble chatting with our group of four! The hummus was easily our favorite app. And all of our drinks were delicious! read more
Last night was my second time at WestEnd and I often forget that it's such a great spot to get together with friends. I'm not much of a drinker so much of my review will be based on the food. The truffle fries are a must. Reminds me of the ones they had at Brix in terms of flavor, thickness, quantity, and presentation. I tried the hummus platter and brussel sprouts for the first time last night. If you're imaginging a plain hummus with pita bread, this one will blow your mind. I've never seen it dressed up so much but suprisingly, all the flavors worked really well together and it was delicious! My least favorite entree was probably the brussel sprouts. The flavor and charring was great, however, I think they were a bit overcooked so it had that "burn" aftertaste which left a bunch of bitterness in my mouth. The patio here is beautiful. (Just know that if you need to make a reservation for half, they do have a $500 minimum.) I only took one star away because the inside of the lounge is a bit odd and sterile feeling. Not cozy and not much to look us besides the huge screen on one side of the watch. Not a deal breaker, but I would definitely recommend the patio if the weather permits. Overall, great food and I'll make a point to start coming more! read more
Decided on this establishment for happy hour with friends that live further out west than we do. Service was prompt and polite. Very much a lounge vibe. I had both a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned. Both features a lot of ice, and the old fashion was not well mixed. Tasted as though it was constructed in the glass sugar and bitters first and then base spirit on floated on top. First half was very strong spirit forward and last half very sweet. Even after repeated mixing with the stirring straw. The food was pretty standard happy hour appetizers. The hummus plate did come with a generous portion of pita which was welcome and necessary. A safe bet for happy hour if you're in the area, good not great. read more

All I really need to say is that this place has some of the best martinis in West O. There I said it! I love the decor and atmosphere of this place, but i am a bit confused on what they are going for. It tends to turn into a bit of a sports bar that offers great martinis. The decor suggests upscale martini bar, but the atmosphere and TV sometimes gives the vibe of a sports bar. The spread of food is great and I haven't had a bad appetizer each time I go! I had the West End Martini, the birthday cake and chocolate truffle martini and recommend these to anyone glancing at their menu! They do offer other drinks and even a brunch menu I am dying to try out! The waitresses are attentive and speedy even when it is a crowded Saturday night which is wonderful! There is plenty of space for family and friends to sit together and enjoy some martinis! read more

If you are looking for a cool (in temp) dark place to relax at the end of a hot summer day this could be your spot. The bartenders are great and the wine and drink menu is fairly extensive. Also, they have happy hour pricing and wine is half off on Wednesday! if you are looking to snack on a few items over a drink while catching up with friends in West Omaha check it out! read more
