Great Ambiance, great music, even the movie running on the TV was cool. It can be a little hard to get the attention of the staff, almost tunnel vision, but as a business owner, all I care about is focusing on the customer in front of you, and when you're done, pay that same attention to the next one. They were all friendly and helpful. Nite Owl was the 3rd burger I tried in Omaha, I'd already eaten the 4th, 2nd, and this was the 6th on that review list. After my experience, Nite Owl was my best burger experience in Omaha. There's subjectivity for you. My kind of place...bring your readers or a flashlight though, it's a bit dim in there.
Everything about this place was outstanding. When you walk in you instantly know it's different and unique. The decor is all throwback to the 70s. The bar is low table height so if you are standing to order food you feel like a giant. The staff is very nice and I was lucky enough to watch Angela create my cocktails and others.
The cocktails are expertly created from a very unique menu that does have some classics. They are stirred in a beaker before served with a garnish. I tried the Therman Merman, the Vieux Carre and the Ward 8 (cocktail on tap).
The food all looked and sounded amazing. I decided to go with the namesake Nite Owl burger with tots. They also have Tot Nachos which looked great.
Nite Owl is definitely at the top of my list for Omaha!
I absolutely adore this place. They don't allow kids, which is always a win. They also have a funky interior, an outdoor seating area, and delicious vegan options. It's definitely a place you should visit
This was honestly so unexpected. Nite Owl seemed like a pretty unique cocktail joint, but this food was exceptional! The cauliflower wings were perfectly fried with an amazing Korean BBQ sauce and simply look at this bao bun. This place was a whole vibe. They have well-crafted cocktails, dim lighting, and such a unique aesthetic. Come for the chill atmosphere and stick around for the great drinks and food. Honestly, the only reason it didn’t get the fifth star is because the lighting was a little too dim for my liking and it was so loud in there we could hardly hear the people across the table from us. Maybe it was the acoustics of the room or maybe it was the amount of people. Not sure, but other than those small picky things, make sure it’s on your list. Next time you are in the Blackstone District!!
The food at Nite Owl was really good. Drinks are a little expensive for the amount you get, but they had a lot of options. I think my only real complaint is how dark it is on the inside, it was near impossible to pour a water without spilling it on the floor. Turn up the lights 20% and you'd have a really nice (viewable) atmosphere. Wings and Bao were fantastic!
Our favorite spot for late night food in Omaha. You must try the Nite Owl burger! Everyone talks about their tatchos which are so good but if you like chicken wings, you need to try the Korean barbecue wings 🤤
My husband loves ordering an old fashion from here. Unfortunately, they don’t have espresso martinis… so I ordered the espresso/lime drink.
They have a very dark and moody vibe inside. It’s very retro and cool and they always screen old movies. Last time we were here they were screening Godzilla.
In the summertime it’s so fun to hang out on the patio. If you haven’t been here yet, you must try it out!
Everyone is cool. My friend and I waited over an hour for our food and I have anxiety and felt bad but had to be like "heyyy" (I had liquid courage lol) and they were super nice about it, food was out quickly! Definitely a vibe ✨️

We went specifically for the Korean corn dogs that's only available on Tuesday.
When we went there was a lot of seating inside. They have a beautiful mostly covered patio on the outside as well.
When you order, you need to go up to the bar. They will bring the food out to you but you should wait for your drink. They did but let my friend bring me the drink I ordered and paid for to the table, but I understand that because they don't know who's at your party and they don't want someone messing with your drink.
This particular corn dog had a habanero, hot dorito batter? Whatever they did, I will say it was mighty tasty. That was a firm 5 star item.
Tots 3.5 stars
I was told this was very delicious but tonight's offering was a bit limp and not that crispy. I'm told this was not the norm by others.
Lemon pepper wings 4 stars
Caribbean Curry battered wings 3.75-4.25 stars.
The sauce, batter and size if the wings for the second flavor was amazing but the actual chicken itself was lacking in flavor. Ironically due to the ridiculous meatiness of the wing, it made it more apparent that the flavor didn't penetrate into the meat (not that it needs to but it just tasted bland).
The lemon pepper wings weren't as noticable for this.
The crab Rangoon gets a 4. I'm not a huge fan of crab Rangoon but this was a pleasant surprise. I could taste the Seafood inside and the sauce was a pleasant compliment.
I was told they were known for their chicken slider. I ordered it. It's a 4. I can't say I loved it (that's a 5) but I appreciated the sweet sauce and slaw that brightened it up.
Parking is difficult as it is in Blackstone, however there was a free Blackstone parking lot behind the building. I didn't realize that was parking that included them at first. There is of course metered parking on the street along with free side street parking. It's just a busy area.
An Omaha hidden gem. This place has incredible food for being a bar. An absolute must is to get the tachos and wings. 🤤
I love nite owl. It's my favorite spot in Blackstone. It's dark and cozy, and the staff are wonderful. I love the food- especially the wings. And their drinks are always amazing. Highly recommend for a cozy spot to chill with some friends and watch part of a weird old movie
One of the few places that makes a really good paper plane! Typically gets pretty packed in the winter and slower in the summer. Great spot, good happy hour.
I like the patio area more than inside. The bartender was very friendly down to earth I love that! However the dark theme doesn't allow you to see how dusty the place is and how dirty your drink is.
