The Sydney
A long-running Benson bar on Maple Street with cheap drinks, a pool table and live bands and DJs on many nights. A good starting point for a Benson bar crawl.
The Sydney Bar & Lounge is a neighborhood bar on Benson's Maple Street, at 5918 Maple. Visit Omaha describes it as a casual, cool bar in downtown Benson with live music, including karaoke, and an atmosphere that ranges from low-key to high-energy depending on the night.
Our listing notes cheap drinks, a pool table, and live bands and DJs on many nights. The Omaha World-Herald has previously profiled it as one of Benson's better kept secrets and written about how the vibe changes from night to night, so the mix of crowd and music depends on which evening you visit.
Because it is long-running and low-pressure, it makes a good starting point for a Benson bar crawl, with several other bars within walking distance on the same stretch of Maple. It suits groups who want a casual night with music rather than a cocktail-focused room. Check the bar's social pages for each week's lineup.
