Jerry's Bar

A small Benson neighborhood bar on Military Avenue with a beer garden out back. It has a following among locals and has shown up in The Reader's readers' polls for hiding out, happy hour, patio and best neighborhood tavern. Easy to pair with a walk through Benson's Maple Street strip.

Jerry's Bar is a neighborhood bar on Military Avenue in Benson, a short walk from the Maple Street bar and restaurant strip. Omaha Magazine noted its beer garden in 2018, when the bar held an Oktoberfest celebration with brats and all-day drink specials and warned that it could not fit everyone.

Locals have kept it in The Reader's readers' polls, with mentions in 2020 for conversation, hiding out, happy hour, patio and best neighborhood tavern, and in 2021 for hiding out. Expect a small, casual room and an outdoor space that is the draw in good weather. Hours are not posted on an official site, so check the bar's social page first.
