Things to Do in the Blackstone District

Omaha’s Blackstone District has a rich history – and an even richer sandwich. This is the birthplace of the Reuben, the iconic sandwich first created in the 1920s. Visitors can taste the original recipe at Crescent Moon. Consistently ranked as one of the top beer bars in the country by Draft Magazine, "The Moon" is located above Huber Haus, an authentic German beer hall serving up bier, brats and the famous Das Boot!

But Blackstone District isn’t just about the past – it’s a modern-day hotspot with local flavor. Start at Kamp, a vibrant food hall and bar where bold flavors meet high-energy fun. Dig into juicy burgers, crispy wings and Korean fusion. Slurp signature drinks and step up to the ice shot challenge that dares you to “take your shot” and ring the bell. Continue your culinary tour with craft beers at Scriptown Brewery and signature cocktails at Nite Owl (which also serves food late). More flavorful options include Mula, Blackstone’s ultra trendy Mexican restaurant and certified tequileria and Noli’s Pizzeria, which offers foldable New York-style slices and classic Italian desserts.
