Hotel with good bar/restaurant

Looking for a hotel in Omaha that has a great Bar.





Or any other good bars/lounges in the downtown area. Not looking for nightclubs or sports bars, but something someone in their thirties might enjoy.





Thanks for your help.

The Embassy Suites is across the street from the Old Market. There are a few bars that are within walking distance that would be enjoyed by someone in their 30%26#39;s.

I forgot to add the Old Market has a nice variety of good restaurants.




Thanks Megan. I actually meant to say near the Qwest Center, not downtown. Does that make a difference?





Thanks again for your reply.




If you%26#39;re going to an event at the Qwest, the bar at the Hilton across the street isn%26#39;t too bad. Can%26#39;t beat the location.





Mr. Toad%26#39;s in the Old market has kind of has a pub feel and is right across the street from the Embassy.

The Upstream Brewpub has two bars (one on the ground floor and one upstairs). They brew their own beer and they%26#39;ve always got a good crowd.

The Old Market area is within walking distance to the Qwest Center. There is a Marriott Courtyard in between the Old Market and the Qwest Center. The hotel closest to the Qwest Center is the Hilton. I am 36 and love hanging out in the Old Market area. It has a variety of bars that are appealing to people in their 20%26#39;s, 30%26#39;s and 40%26#39;s+. I guess if you were looking for something specific such as a jazz or blues club you would have to specify but just to hang out I would rather go to the Old Market than hang out at the Hilton (too stuffy and boring for me). No matter where you stay all the hotels mentioned are fairly close (1/2 mile) to each other. I don%26#39;t think you could make a wrong choice. What are you going to be at the Qwest center for?? If it is a convention I would consider the Hilton just because you may be going back and forth but if it is for an event staying a bit closer to the Old Market wouldn%26#39;t make that big of a deal. There are also some hotels north of the Qwest but you are getting farther away from what I would refer to as ';the fun area';. Hope this helps.




Thank you guys for your replies. The Marriott sounds like a good compromise between the Qwest %26amp; Old Market.



Megan, I will be in Omaha in May for the Berkshire annual meeting.I have been there before, but have always stayed in the outskirts (once in Lincoln because it was the only place I could find a room). I would really prefer to actually get to know Omaha a little better this time.



Thank you both for your recommendations, its a great help.

Mr. Toad for evening drinks - Old Market%26#39;s oldest bar, the atmosphere is an old English pub. In summer months live jazz starts at 9:00pm
