Whether you’re at the ballpark or watching on TV, you don’t want to miss a moment of College World Series action.

Here are some of the best sports bars in Omaha to catch the College World Series.
Omaha Sports Bars Near Charles Schwab Field
Blatt Beer & Table
The downtown location of Blatt Beer & Table couldn’t be more perfect for College World Series fans. It’s right across the street from Charles Schwab Field, and if you’re hanging out on the bar’s rooftop beer garden, you can practically see into the stadium. With 32 rotating taps and even more bottles and cans, there’s a beer for any palate at Blatt. And in addition to serving elevated pub food, this restaurant also sells Omaha’s famous Zesto ice cream.

Omaha Tap House
Few Omaha sports bars can rival Omaha Tap House when it comes to the number of TVs. You’re not going to miss a second of the College World Series action—or any other sport, for that matter—while you’re here. OTH is well known for its wide-ranging beer selection, but it also serves Bloody Marys, specialty cocktails, signature martinis, and different variations on the Moscow Mule. On top of all that, this sports bar offers some of the best burgers and wings in Omaha, too.

Rocco’s Pizza & Cantina
Rocco’s Pizza & Cantina has gained national attention for its Jello shot contest, and you can follow the competition even if you’re not at the bar. Since it’s right across the street from Charles Schwab Field, Rocco’s has become a very popular postgame hangout for CWS fans to mingle and meet one another. Tacos and pizza are on the menu if you need a bite to eat.
The Matt Bar & Grill
One of Downtown Omaha’s unofficial CWS hotspots, The Matt Bar & Grill goes all out for the College World Series. In addition to a wealth of TVs, The Matt has party rooms you can rent and live music out in the street once the games conclude. Whether you want a private space to drink and catch a game or a party to celebrate a big win, The Matt can accommodate you.

Hurrdat Sports Bar & Grill
For those looking for a more relaxed environment to catch all the CWS games, Hurrdat Sports Bar & Grill is hard to beat. Whether you post up at the La Vista or Gretna location, you’ll have dozens of TVs to help you keep up with the action, plenty of cold beer, and elevated takes on classic game day food. This is a particularly great option for families or youth teams looking to avoid rowdy settings.
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 sports bar. What it lacks in number of TVs, it more than makes up for with its lively atmosphere, Irish charm, and a food menu that puts many Omaha restaurants to shame. Plus, Barrett’s has a sand volleyball court if you need to get up and move a bit between games.

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. Barchen 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.

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 College World Series games. 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.

Oscar’s Pizza & Sports Grill
Oscar’s Pizza & Sports Grill is best known for its wings—especially the char-buffed variety, which are fried, tossed in sauce, then finished on the grill to add a smoky flavor. Combine that with Oscar’s lively atmosphere, excellent TV setup, and convenient West Omaha location away from the downtown crowds, and you’ve got a top-notch spot to catch up on all the College World Series action.
Piezon’s Pizzeria
Owned by a former Nebraska football player, Piezon’s Pizzeria is built for a great game day experience. The cozy atmosphere, sports on every TV, and greasy, New York-inspired pizza make it an ideal spot to watch the College World Series. Whether you’re there for the action or just the slices, Piezon’s delivers on both fronts.
