The Moon is a great bar and I wish I could rate each of its 3 bars differently. The beer selection is generally amazing. Max and Joe’s hosts some great Belgian beers you are often unlikely to find anywhere else on tap. The atmosphere in that room is usually very different than the rest of the building. Much more mellow, more intimate, and lots of beer geeks. The bartenders in here are usually very well seasoned and knowledgeable about all the beers. Love that bar! The Crescent Moon has a ton of taps of varying styles sure to please anyone’s palate. Of the 30 or more taps they have, there is generally a few gems that you’ll see the beer geeks/snobs huddling around :) Beers that you will rarely see at any other bar in town if at all. The staff is usually very friendly and helpful though not everyone can be a beer zealot, they are fairly knowledgeable and are more than willing to give you a sample to help you find the right beer for your mood. Depending on the events and the night it can get a little crazy in there (which from a business standpoint is great) but can get overwhelming and loud. The Huber Haus is from what my German exchange student said "This is exactly like the bar in my hometown!" It sounds better with a German Accent... Great tap beers, great bottles, good prices. The bartenders are usually very well versed in their wares and more than happy to assist you. The food is good. The use of different glasses is nice. It is great to snag a booth with some friends and share a boot of beer. Weekday nights are generally the best to get great service (as with most bars) but in particular because you have mug club events on Wednesdays and the hall will be filled with the merriment of beer lovers. Weekends can get some rowdy frat guys in there trying to chug a boot on their own. But overall, a regular bar in my beer bar rotation! A great craft beer bar along some other greats like Jake’s and Krug Park in Benson, Library Pub in North West Omaha, Brass Monkey in South Omaha, and The Lauter Tun in West Omaha.

Crescent Moon was recommended by the knowledgable staff next door at Beertopia. The atmosphere is great, cool. little pub. I never made it downstairs to the German pub or to the Belgian style pub but was able to order a beer from the Belgian side. Tap selection was pretty good, definitely representative of the region. I ordered the Rueben on a recommendation and was not disappointed. The corned beef was top notch! Not far from the airport and easy to find. I stopped again on my return trip to the airport and had a few more drafts. I will definitley stop here again if in Omaha.

At least three bars wrapped up in one: a Belgian bat with half a dozen taps, and American craft bar with more than a dozen taps, and a German beer bar that I didn’t try. Great service, good prices. Folks were drinking the. Raft beer by the pitcher, I’m not sure why.

First time here, very cool place. Has 3 different areas: one for craft brews, one for German beers, and one for Belgian beers. Pretty good prices too. Didn’t try the food this time.

I visited Huber Haus and was very impressed. Great selection of German beers that are very well priced. About a dozen taps that were mostly Bavarian styles and very few pilsners. Didn’t try the food, but it looked decent. Upstairs, I walked past the main part of the bar and noticed quite a few US craft selections and local beers on tap. A good stop for sure.

This place is unbelievable! A German beer hall downstairs and a Belgian bar upstairs. On top of that, the selection is quite amazing. This is a must see in Omaha.

visited the place last December after my flight home was cancelled due to a snow storm. it’s actually 3 places (and a beer shop next door) with nice selection of local beer and foreign beers. If your in Nebraska, this is the place to be.

Stopped in tonight for some dinner and some brews. Stayed in the Crescent Moon portion of the establishment. Sort of dive barish and really slow. Only 10 or so bar stools and all were full but there was about 20 tables and only 3 were full. Nice selection of taps. Escpecially for Nebraska. Food was decent but dirt cheap. Had burger and fries for under $6. Had a couple of average IPAs. Would go back and want to check out the Max and Joes part of the bar. Beer store next door was pretty damn impressive.

Visited on a busy Saturday night in June 2009. The layout of this place is like a beer nerd amusement park. Craft beers in one bar, Belgian beers in another, German beer hall in the basement. Service in all areas was attentive, servers were more than willing to help with selections and offer samples. The crowd was really fun, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Both the tap and bottle list were great, and very much focused on a variety of beers. This, along with Beertopia next door, are must hits on any visit to Omaha.

The Moon is one of my most frequented local hangouts because I do enjoy it quite a bit. They have three separate "bars" within the facility that each has its own personality. The main bar serves mostly American craft brews with several local selections from NBC and Empyrean. Downstairs is Huber Haus which has a handful of German beers on tap, and Das Boot for the enjoyment of all. Max and Joe’s (the reservable party room) is open Thu-Sat and serves several Belgian beers as well as anything "special" or limited release that they can get their hands on. I usually enjoy spending my time in Max and Joe’s. The crowd is definitely on the young side, and Friday and Saturday can get pretty crazy and difficult to find a table. Overall, it’s a great place to check out. My only complaint is that I wish they would rotate their beers more often in the main room. They do change out some, but I would definitely like to see more tap rotation and hard to find beers. Great reuben too.
