Omaha Tap House (Downtown)

A craft beer bar in the 1928 Art Deco Paxton building on Farnam, with brick walls, booths and 32 taps. The menu covers burgers, wings, tacos and mac and cheese, all described as made from scratch, and there is a Bloody Mary bar.

Omaha Tap House sits on the corner of 14th and Farnam in the Paxton building, a 1928 Art Deco landmark a short walk from the Old Market. The downtown bar is built around beer: the official site counts 33 craft beers on tap, with bombers, bottles and a wine list filling out the drinks side.

Inside, the room leans on its building. Exposed brick, booths and a long bar give it the feel of a neighborhood pub, and the setup works equally well for a sit-down meal or a quick stop with a group. The kitchen covers the usual bar-food ground, and a Bloody Mary bar is part of the offering.

Weekday afternoons are the sweet spot for visitors watching their budget. A Monday through Friday happy hour from 3 to 6 pm trims tap prices and discounts several snacks, including wings and fried pickles. It suits beer-curious travelers, small groups ahead of an event downtown, and anyone who wants a casual dinner without a reservation.
