Rathskeller Bier Haus -- NOT CLOSING

Post by justnick »

Caffeine Dreams has closed (says it has plans to reopen, maybe in the old DC's building they own on 14th?)
Wonder if UNMC has anything to do with their closure?

I've heard a rumor that the Caffeine Dreams building will become a German Beer hall, assuming the lease can be worked-out.
He said "They are some big, ugly red brick buildings"
...and then they were gone.

Drove by Caffeine Dreams last Wednesday on my way to try Noli's in Blackstone and there were no cars in the parking lot and the lights were off. Never go there, but when I would drive by the parking lot generally looked busy.

Looks like the owner of Havana Garage will be opening an irish-esque bar here.

Oh man that could potentially be awesome. Hopefully it truns out well, this could be my new neighborhood spot.

Serve Toasted Specials and you would be the most authentic Irish Pub in Nebraska. None of the existing ones do that and yet in Ireland you literally can't find a pub that serves food and doesn't serve that sandwich.

Exactly how many German restaurants are there in Omaha now? I can only think of one. I’m not a huge fan of German food (in reality most Germans eat more Turkish food, which I love), but a few more German places would be a big plus.

Very limited food menu, 10 or so items.

There will be quite a few tap handles. I think 32 is the number I was told. Will be split between German and local beers.

Huber Haus, Barchen, second Barchen soon, Gerda's. I was just hoping for a legit Irish pub near my home. Selfish reasons, I suppose.

They've torn down everything behind the building and are revamping it from scratch.

The sign changes color too. Not the red, but the light behind the letters. Very cool feature.

So we have been there twice since it opened (We live nearby). Really think this place is awesome. Beer is good, food is good. Service was spotty, but those are the growing pains you expect. Interior decor is excellent by the bar, the bier hall space could use a little more character. Overall though we give it a thumbs up and I see this place doing very well.

I think someone mentioned in on of the threads that Rathskeller is closing, but apparently that's not the case, which is good to hear.

I’d be disappointed if this place closed before I got a chance to check it out in person…

When UNMC bought the property the rumors began swirling that they would demo the building for more expansion at some point.
