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.

Parking in lot behind building. Clean older building with bar in center with tables for food and beverages in the back and strairs down to Huber Haus. Thirty standards taps with New Belgium $2.50 pints on Wednesday. All were good drinkable brews. Freindly bartender with good knowledge of brews. The menu had starters and sandwichs. Nice location and I will stop again when I am in Omaha.

A wonderful stop in Omaha before commuting from the Airport to my final destination. Be sure to look up Sledge Jr on your way through town! The atomsphere was festive during the March Madness tourney in March 07 w/ Creighton pulling their own weight in their matchup. The beer selection is incredible at the Crescent Moon, and if you can’t find something you like (even a variety of locals from Nebraska), then you’ve got issues. The owner even stopped by and made for some conversation, a guy worth supporting with your dollars. Despite the location and college clientelle, this place didn’t come off as a college atmosphere (short of the ball game on TV). The food was stellar too! Stop, drink, and eat when in Omaha!

If I lived in Omaha, this would be my regular place. It has a great, causal, neighborhood feel. A few booths, a bunch of tables, a couple TV’s and a lot of beer on tap and in the bottles. The food was good and each night they have great specials. I got the Wednesday night special cheeseburger and fries for 4.95 and the the beers on tap were discounted as well. The server was friendly. Next time I am in Omaha, I will be here again!

A nice change of pace from typical bars. Great environment for having a beer after work, to meet friends, or to watch a Thursday night college football game after school. The staff is great, and the service can’t be beat. My home away from home.

The Crescent Moon Ale House (of which Huber Haus is a part) has a bar for almost any drinker; be it a German Beer Hall or a contemporary setting. It is all non-smoking which I love and their Beertopia store gives you the ability to take some of your favorite brews home with you. This is one of my new favorite places.

I met my fiance there, have for the last 6 years met my friends every Thursday for wings and Boulevard Wheat. The Huber House is like home, and Beertopia (the attached beer store) is where I bought the Rochefort 8 I am currently drinking.

The staff is always very friendly, and usually remembers you, and want you tend to enjoy on repeat visits. I’ve had nothing but good experiences with the staff, and they can usually suggest something I may be interested in based on what they know I like. It’s usually not overly crowded, unless it’s Oktberfest season, or there’s some kind of free tasting going on, which happens from time to time. There aren’t very many taps, maybe seven I think, but they continually change, which keeps the options fresh. They also have a cooler with a pretty good selection of German beers, including a couple Eisbocks and Rauchbiers to choose from. In the Huber-Haus they really only have some German appetizers, but you can order food from upstairs (Crescent Moon). The food is pretty standard bar food, but it’s pretty good, especially the BBQ bacon burger and Chicken Caesar Salad. Overall the value is really good. This is my favorite place in Omaha to sit and have a few beers, with friends and family alike. When I’m not out of town for work I usually stop in here about once a week to just sit back and eat, drink and not think about work .
