Known as one of the best restaurants and pubs in Omaha, the community was devastated when the original M’s Pub burned down in a fire in early 2016. They have since rebuilt, and are now better than ever. The service is always excellent, and the wait staff will treat you like family. Their menu ranges from classic favorites to seasonal dishes, with a thoughtful wine and craft cocktail list. Reservations recommended.

Drinks & Nightlife
the only true night club in Omaha. Yes, it is technically a gay bar, however on weekend nights you wouldn’t be able to tell. Each room has a different theme with different music. It’s often a long wait to get a drink, so be prepared! Cash only. Insider tip: get there before midnight and there is a cheaper cover.

a modern day speakeasy, the entrance to this bar is via a hidden door in a shop. The cocktails costs $13 and they are very strong. They also do some neat tricks (like lighting things on fire at your table) Insider tip: plan to get there early or go on a weeknight as they don’t take reservations and the wait times can be long, and the place is small so not great for large groups (only seats 24)
