One cent. That's what Lula B's charges for mimosa refills on Monday mornings. Downtown Omaha has 14 more reasons to eat and drink well on the industry's day off — whether you're here for a convention, a meeting or a game.
Morning & Lunch
Lula B's Breakfast, Brunch & Bar | North Downtown | Mondays 7 a.m.–2 p.m.
Bottomless mimosas at one cent per refill, 7–10 a.m., including Mondays. Soak them up with breakfast poutine or huevos rancheros.
Nick's Quorum Bar & Supper Club | North Downtown, Hilton Omaha | Mondays 7 a.m.–2 p.m.
Nick's, inside Hilton Omaha, has whipped up prime rib benedict and toasted orecchiette and chorizo before most of the city has poured its first cup of coffee.
Addy's Sports Bar & Grill | North Downtown | Mondays 11 a.m.–2 a.m.
Close to the convention center. Hearty pub favorites and drink specials. Open until 2 a.m. — the latest hours on this list.
Dynamite Woodfire Grill | Downtown, The Farnam | Mondays 7–11 a.m. and 5–10 p.m.
Open for breakfast and dinner, both built around meats smoked over open flame. Locally sourced. One of two kitchens on this list open before 8 a.m. Across the street from Gene Leahy Mall at The RiverFront.
Block 16 | Downtown | Mondays 11 a.m.–2 p.m.
Don't let the construction deter you. Block 16 uses its own farm-grown produce and runs daily special sandwiches. The Duck Duck Goose fries — duck confit, crispy skin, cheese curds, mayo, gravy and gooseberry gastrique — are the reason people come back. Lunch only on Mondays.
M's Pub | Old Market Entertainment District | Mondays 11 a.m.–midnight
Omaha's Old Market institution has been the answer to "where should we go?" for decades. The Lahvosh — an Armenian cracker with havarti and other topping choices — is the move. So is the warm duck salad. So is staying until midnight.
Twisted Fork | Old Market Entertainment District | Mondays 11 a.m.–8 p.m.
Chef-driven comfort food with a cowboy twist. Happy hour runs 3 p.m.–6 p.m. daily, which makes it a logical stop between afternoon sessions and dinner plans.
Cumbia | Downtown | Mondays 11 a.m.–10 p.m.
Tapas and creative cocktails. Order the empanadas and the ceviche. Share both.
Memoir | Old Market Entertainment District | Mondays 11 a.m.–9 p.m.
Pan-seared trout, wagyu Memoir dip, sushi and starters in a room that feels like a reward after a long travel day.
Blatt Beer & Table | North Downtown | Mondays 11 a.m.–9 p.m.
Two blocks from Charles Schwab Field Omaha. The quinoa-beet vegan burger earns its place on the menu; the mac and cheese with crispy buffalo chicken earns a second visit.
Clio | Old Market Entertainment District | Mondays 11 a.m.–9 p.m.
The falafel is green on the inside — the mark of a kitchen that didn't cut corners on parsley, cilantro or spice. The hummus, house-baked pita and slow-braised lamb shank hold the same standard. Mediterranean done from scratch.
Afternoon & Evening
Le Bouillon | Old Market Entertainment District | Mondays 2 p.m.–9 p.m.
The European-style bistro built for a bottle of wine and no agenda. Atlantic oysters, shaved carrot salad with fava bean and yogurt, pommes frites. Happy hour 3 p.m.–6 p.m.
Mercury | Downtown | Mondays 4 p.m.–midnight
Omaha's best case for the craft cocktail as a serious pursuit. Try the Theater District — pork-infused bourbon, miso, fennel, black salt and ancho chili — to lean into the drama. Private barrel old fashioneds anchor the whiskey program. Charcuterie and beer cheese fondue if you need something to eat.
Gather in Omaha | Old Market Entertainment District | Mondays 5 p.m.–9 p.m.
Gather grows its own greens in an onsite hydroponic garden — then puts them in your salad. The pork buns (homemade bao, crispy braised pork belly, kimchi) are the other reason to book a Monday reservation. Dinner only.
Centi | Old Market Entertainment District | Mondays 5 p.m. –10 p.m.
End the night with a crepe.The Elvis — peanut butter whip, honey and bananas — makes a compelling argument for dessert first. Gelato and coffeehouse drinks round it out. Bonus: one of the cheapest patio seats in Old Market Entertainment District.
