The Verdict Bar & Grill

I get it, we're all struggling post-pandemic-shutdown. I have to admit though, I found this place woefully lacking. I attended a fundraising event here on the 16th of July along with a group of five or six other peopld. We got there around 7:30 for an 8pm event, and wanted to get food, but there was no clear way to do so. The drink I got was hilariously overpriced and surprisingly underpoured. Idk if the owners are just cheap, or if the bartenders are poorly trained but $8 for a vodka red bull in a 6oz glass is outrageous. There seemed to be zero preparation for the incoming crowd of people. The dance floor wasn't handicapped accessible, and frankly no part of this bar was accessible to somebody in a wheelchair or with any mobility aid. The entire experience was a disappointment. In my humble opinion, if you're going to host a queer friendly event the day of the local pride celebration, do better and cater to your audience. We ended up leaving before the event because it was an absolute disaster. Book better talent, and we might be inclined to give this place another chance.

I dropped by the verdict last night to meet a friend, the bartender was pleasant and attentive, and he made some of the best mixed drinks I have had in Omaha. The food was fast, had a taco salad and some spin dip tasted great. Thanks for the great service.

The food wasn't bad, we went to lunch wanting "bar food", and that is what we got. The service was not the fastest or greatest. Working downtown and trying to go to a sit down restaurant for lunch can be tricky when you're trying to eat and get back within the time restraints of a lunch break. There was only one bartender/server and it seemed to be a little bit more than he could handle by himself. I would definitely try it again, just maybe not over my lunch break. Update: I went again over my lunch break when it wasn't nearly as busy and the service was fast and the food was good!

Although, the staff was beyond friendly and welcoming, I was a bit disappointed in some of the food. I ordered the mushrooms and was looking forward to them, but unfortunately, every bite was blobs of grease/oil. And at $8.95 for the basket of mushrooms…it’s a bit over priced. The “regular” burger was ok; nothing super special. Great location, just needs a bit more.
