Homy Inn

There are a few excellent businesses all clustered into this small footprint just west of Saddle Creek, but I had not been to the Homy Inn before. The champagne on tap finally lured me in, and I must say I loved it! The place is cozy with a local vibe and interesting decor from floor to ceiling and perhaps even on the ceiling. I wish I had taken some photos and a video to post, but since I did not, I will have to return!

Local landmark! No arrogance, just leans into it's local-icon, dive-bar identity. As an out-of-towner, this was a fun Saturday afternoon stop for a piece of Omaha that wouldn't make the glossy tour book, but it's clearly loved by its community. When we arrived there was a wedding party enjoying their final sips before heading on. Known for its champagne and sangria on tap, and the champagne flight is cheap and generous. Also offers some respectable craft beers and a few interesting finds among the top shelf spirits. Small space packed with tables, tiny but serviceable bathrooms, something to catch your eye on every wall and the ceiling, and even a pinball machine. Gushes with history, some authentic and some reproduced. Had a fun time taking in the whole experience!

We went here for the champagne on tap and stayed for the beer also on tap. This place has an inner light of it's own, a light that glows warm and radiant. The low ceiling always reminds me of a friend's basement. The Homy features champagne on tap. A most unusual offering. Better yet they have many Nebraska beers on tap. Tonight, it was Kinkaider Snow Beast. Again, go for the champagne but stay for the great beers on tap. Also check out the machine on the right just as you enter. Never seen anything like it. NB: it seems to be a destination place for noisy professionals around 4pm on Saturday afternoon. For your own personal peace avoid this group at all costs.

I researched places to go in Omaha for our couples trip and this was at the top of my list. It did not disappoint! The champagne on tap is such a fun feature and the atmosphere was exactly what we wanted and expected. We had a blast! Just a tip... if you don’t want champagne that’s super sweet, but want to try the flavors, ask them to do a 50/50 mix!
