A very relaxing atmosphere near downtown Omaha. More brands/types/styles/bottles of distilled spirits than I’ve personally seen.
The server was extremely knowledgeable and tailors a flight of whiskey/bourbon to your tastes.
The flight that was created for me was very good and allowed me to try some brands/labels that I’ve never had. All were excellent.
Going there on a Wednesday has the added benefit of 25% off the tab. However, deducting a star because the tab didn’t reflect the 25% so had to ask. That shouldn’t have had to happen.
We went out to a bar called Proof in Omaha for a friend’s birthday. There’s a huge selection of scotch to choose from and there mixed drinks are tasty and they have a good beer menu as well. I had the house Old Fashion for $5. It was not bad but also not the best I’ve had. I would probably order a different one the next time just to see the difference but I’d still order this one. They have a very small selection of food to choose from as it is not a restaurant but an actual bar. The music was fun and sounded like you were in a Speak Easy. The bartenders were dressed up in suit vests which made the feel of the bar even more like something from the roaring 20s. They were polite and attentive. Even the owner visited our table and was sociable with us. This was a very pleasant experience and I would definitely go back.
Joel is the man. Best whiskey bar in Omaha. Hands down.
I'm in love with this place. If you like incredibly flavorful, boozy drinks, THIS is your place! We tried several of the "house" cocktails on the menu and we were blown away by them all. (And between me and my friend, we tried several of the drinks) also liked their hummus and spinach dip apps to munch on. The atmosphere and the ambience of the place was awesome too! Can't wait to come back!! Also shout-out to the bartender Jackie for being awesome and making our drinks with perfection. Worth every penny! ❤️❤️❤️
Mu brothers and I had a wonderful evening of drinks. I am not a hard liquor drinker by any definition but I was still able to find and be suggested great drinks. Service was knowledgeable, charismatic and attentive at the right times. We had a beautiful experience but definitely with a price tag to match. Overall worth it.

Really great place. Everyone there is really nice and super caring and the drinks are good.
The new guy is super nice too. I accidently fell asleep cause sports was on and he made sure I was ok. The fizzy violete drink is better than the non fizzy one.
Proof is the perfect spot for a crafted cocktail. They have a great selection of bourbon and scotch with extremely talented mixologists behind the bar.
If you’re looking for a boozy, well crafted cocktail - this is the place to be. It is fun to watch the mixologists climb the latter and create intricate cocktails. The mixologists are all great here! Jeremy is quite the character! No matter who helps you, it is always such great service.
They have large round booths so you can bring a bigger group or take a date and enjoy a cozy evening. From the outside it is so unassuming but once you’re inside the atmosphere is so cool, classy and energetic. The inside is so beautiful and cozy - the music is so on point and makes everything come together.
They also have a great patio for the warmer nights!
I highly recommend checking out Proof if you haven’t already!
We got married at the Empire Room on 8/7/20. Between pictures and the ceremony we wanted headed to Proof for a libation and a second to collect ourselves before the big ceremony. We also wanted to snag some pix with the super cool bar at Proof. The bartender was AMAZING. So helpful for our big group. So entertaining and even gave us a wedding present (see pix). We enjoyed ourselves before the wedding and even headed over after the party closed down. Great services, tasty drinks and really cool atmosphere!
Our bartender was fabulous! She was knowledgeable, personable, and had great suggestions. A completely enjoyable experience.
Excellent whiskey collection at reasonable prices. Kick the bottle, take it home. The bartender knew there whiskey and made good recommendations.
Service has consistently being great. This is my to go place when hosting out of state/country visitors who like spirits. I’m a newbie when it comes to whiskey but the bartenders and servers never made me feel intimidated and were more willing to give me recommendations. If you want to start trying spirits, this may be your place. The variety of whiskey, vodka, rum and cocktail are impressive.
I love the atmosphere here. I’ll describe as Classic Serene. Leather couches and dark hard wood furniture are comfy and elegant. I would have spent the entire day here of it wasn’t because I parked in the 2hrs max limit spot.
As a great bonus, you are welcome to bring your own food. They also offer snacks and small plates.
A wide variety of fun cocktails and a huge selection of bourbon and scotch. An outdoor patio and open air inside during nice weather. Don't miss this place!
Went to Proof yesterday and the drinks and service were great! Delicious espresso martini and orange creamsicle and Kyle the bartender was hilarious and very attentive! Definitely will return!
Great service and great atmosphere! I had a mai tai and it was one of the best I've ever had. My husband had his beloved whiskey and they have tons to choose from in all price poina, so he was a happy camper. This is a great place in midtown to hang out for an evening and relax or meet friends for a drink before heading out for the evening.
Only whiskey place worth driving to in Omaha. The selection is the best in Nebraska and it’s matched by impeccable service, knowledgable staff and a fun ‘20s decor. There is a TV for visitors who want to watch sports.
Great cocktails, atmosphere, and service!! Kept checking on us to make sure we didn’t need anything, very friendly!! Will be back
I love this bar so much. They always have flight deals. The staff is awesome. So many options. Their cocktails are amazing and so is there happy hour. If you like whiskey and cigars this place is a must visit! They obviously have other options which are also top notch though. Bar seating, high tables along with leather couches and booths. I often get the sazerac or the proof penicillin.
Alright, this is the whiskey bar of whiskey bars. Jacque was the most incredible bartender I've ever had. According to her, the bar's whiskey selection is currently running a little low, but I still had the opportunity to try two flights of five bourbons each that I had never tried before. And then she proceeds to recommend the most incredible single malt I've ever had in my life. Overall, I'd rate this even higher than 5 stars if I could, and it's all thanks to Jacque the bartender. Whoever hired her is a genius. This girl is so passionate, it made my experience 10x better than it would've been without her. I'll definitely be returning, and I'll definitely be returning with friends. I could not recommend this place enough.
