Backlot Taphouse
Even if Backlot Taphouse didn’t serve any food, it would still rank among the best sports bars in Omaha. With 29 local brews on tap, TVs everywhere, and bench seating that encourages fans to cheer together, it’s a go-to spot for watching any sport. Add in the fantastic loaded fries and Detroit-style pizza—reason enough to include it among the best pizza places in Omaha—and you’ve got a winning combo for game day.

Bärchen Beer Garden
There’s no Omaha patio quite like the one out back of Bärchen Beer Garden. This fenced-in oasis is covered by a canopy of umbrellas, giving you a shady spot to enjoy unique German beers, delicious food, and the warm Omaha weather. Bärchen also has plenty of indoor seating, and they frequently host English soccer watch parties on Saturday mornings—so if you think these guys don’t know how to throw a fun game-related party, think again.

Barrett’s Barleycorn
The unofficial sports bar for LSU fans, Barrett’s Barleycorn isn’t just for Tigers supporters. All are welcome at this friendly Irish sports bar.

Plus, Barrett’s has a sand volleyball court if you need to get up and move a bit between games.
