The Berry & Rye

Truly some of the best cocktails I've ever had, and some of the best mixologist experience as well. This is the kind of place where you try to get a seat at the bar and just ask the bartender to make you something good. My colleague and I went here a few times while out on a contract gig, and as long as you went during off-peak hours, the place was pleasantly quiet and you could watch the bartenders practice their craft. We had wonderful chats with them, and were exposed to new cocktails (after asking for a drink that used the sphere ice the bartender was so carefully making, I was exposed to his twist on a rum old fashioned which was incredible). Their cocktail menu is vast and original. The staff were really cool. Prices were expected for a cocktail lounge. Atmosphere was speakeasy.

On my next visit back to Omaha, I had to visit this place. It is a great sit down lounge to just chat with friends and have a drink. We found our seat and were served fast.

I got a lavender blue, which is my favorite drink there. Overall, I recommend it for anyone looking for just a place to catch with old friends or date night.

I'll start with the OUTSTANDING service from Mia P--second to none, bar none! At $15-$16 per cocktail these drinks are overpriced, but the ambiance and exquisite service enabled me to overlook a rather large bill. The "Uncle Nearest" and "Rye After Dark" were big hits, but I'd avoid that $16 Kokomo. It was so incredibly sweet I had to add a shot of Casamigos to balance the drink. Nice place.

Great drinks and great vibe to the bar as a whole. Service was good. Only "disappointing" aspect was that the drinks were premade and just poured, shaken and served. Still tasted great and presented beautifully.

Stopped by on Saturday night around 6 pm. Nice place! Great decor and friendly, attentive staff. A bit pricy if you order a cocktail from their menu, but ask for the beer options if that's more your speed. It's not a huge place so I wouldn't pick this place for a big crowd, but if you want a quieter intimate setting, it's a great choice.

Berry and Rye is a fantastic cocktail bar down in the Old Market. When you walk in, you're greeted with an art deco ambience that welcomes you in. The cocktail menu is extensive and has something on there for everyone. They also have an impressive liquor collection and I'm sure the bar tenders would be happy to make you anything you could want. I love coming here for a pre dinner drink or a fun place to meet up with friends and I plan to keep coming back in the future

Unique | Tasty | Date-Night

Unique - This place is truly unique because of its vibe and ambiance. It feels like an upscale cocktail bar in NYC/Chicago. The couches are purple and plush. It is a great spot to start the night with friends and is one of the few places in town that is built around "exotic cocktails." So, if you like to go on a cocktail journey - this is probably the best place in town.

Tasty - The drinks are delicious. I had their mezcal-based drink on their menu which was amazing. The entire menu was pretty tempting and the general consensus around our table and the near tables was you couldn't go wrong with any of the choices.

Date-Night - This is a great spot to either start a date, end a date, or have a first date. It is small enough to have intimacy. It normally is pretty quiet, allowing you to have a conversation. I'm surprised how many people have not heard about this place given it is in the heart of Old Market. If I had people visiting from out of town or wanted to impress someone - I would come here.

Pro tip - challenge the mixologist. My wife asked for a smokey margarita which was not on the menu but she was feeling. The mixologist made the best smokey margarita she's ever had.

Pro tip - there is some street parking in front of the property. But, it normally is not available during prime hours.

I am a big fan of this place. I loved the specialty cocktails, the ambience, and decor. The staff is always friendly too.

Friday was no different. A quick one and done with a few friends. Had a $14 strawberry cocktail (don't recall the exact name), and a friend said his old fashion was great.

Will always use this spot for a nice, quiet social spot.

Good place to catch up with friends and have something to dine and drink a sip of cool drinks

Excellent place for signature cocktails. There is a large drink selection and the decor is classy. Our bartender was Jo , who provided some world class service.
