There is really nothing bad I can say about this bar or the Legacy Location out in West Omaha. The beers are almost always great. There are enough beer styles to choose from to suit your mood. The staff is fairly well educated and very helpful. If you are lucky and can catch the brewers after work they are also very helpful and engaging. Every time I have eaten there it has been great. Every time I drank there I enjoyed myself immensely. Definitely a great brewery on its own right, and the only Brewery downtown! Make sure to check out the west location as sometimes they have different seasonal offerings. And be sure to check out Lazlo’s (Empyrean brewing co) out Way West Omaha, and Nebraska Brewing Company in Papillion.

Large place with plYing cards stuck to the ceiling. Beers are very solid, although not overly adventurous. Tasters of any beer are a buck, or all 12 for 11.95. Food is good. Nice place.

Great beer place with great food. 6 standards on tap plus about 5 seasonal, including one always on cask. Good variety and very good quality of beer. Food is always good - never had anything bad. Best has to be the pork cutlets/fritters (whatever they are called).

Atmosphere is late 20s early 30s meat market at night. Food is good, and the upstairs is nice for pool and darts. Beer is very mediocre. Food is above average. I prefer the place in the day when it is less crowded.

On a recent trip to Omaha, we stopped at Nebraska Brewing, Lazlo’s, and Upstream. While NBC had the better beer selection, I couldn’t help but feel that Upstream in the Old Market had more to offer as a brewpub. Despite a rowdy table next to us, our server did a nice job of keeping our glasses full. The beer was hit and miss, with it either being amazing or awful and without any real middle ground. The food was all generally good and enjoyable. I could spend a lot of time here.

Stopped by for lunch. Seems like a pretty upscale brewpub. Had 11 beers in 2 oz. servings in the taster. The food was pretty good, but higher in price compared to most brewpubs. One of the best places I visited while in town. I recommend it.

The Old Market location was awesome. A really well designed interior, as well as outdoor seating during the farmer’s market. I tried the taster, which was about 10 or 11 beers in all.

Cool brewpub in the Old Market with some pretty decent beers. Food was good and atmosphere was pretty cool.

I would definitely recommend this place if you’re visiting Omaha. Great location that we hit for lunch following the Saturday morning farmer’s market. All the food was great and beers were well made and tasty. Plus they had 12! on tap plus bottles of Grand Cru to carry out. One warning: you’re on crack if you leave this place without trying the smoked gouda and beer soup. AWESOME!

Huge quasi-upscale brewpub in an quaint old section of Omaha - about a dozen house brews on tap, with a decent assortment flowing - bottles of the Grand Cru for sale to go (sweet!) - the service was attentive and chatty - large menu, with pretty much something for everyone - the food is very good, especially for brewpub standards (probably the best brewpub food I’ve yet had) - very laid back and casual, despite the apparent target demographic - we got happy hour prices on our beers, despite not sitting in the pub area - 2 bucks a beer=insanely cheap - the world needs more brewpubs like this one.
