Let It Fly Sports Bar (Multiple Locations)

Post by BIGO88 »

"Let it Fly Sports Bar" a Sports bar that has a few locations around the US and owned by former NBA player Mike Miller announced on there instagram that they are opening a location in Omaha in 2022. His son is currently on the Creighton Basketball team so it makes sense.

Currently, I think there are only 2 - Memphis and Sioux Falls

Looks like the Let it Fly near me has closed. No other locations are closing as of now and the other location here that’s supposed to open is still supposed to happen. Can anyone attest to the kind of business the Omaha location has been doing since opening?

I have stepped in a few times before/after Creighton games and its been packed. But obviously that would be expected.

I have also seen them post on Facebook, most recently for New Years and it looked packed as well.

When Barrel and Vine closed in west Omaha, there were immediate rumors that it Let It Fly was going to take over. Haven't heard anything recently on that though.

Didn’t this place just open in the Capitol District? If it were to close or close and reopen at another metro location, now- it would likely set a record for the fastest closing after opening in Omaha history, Lol..

Wouldn’t make much sense to me..but then again, in the crazy world we live in, what does?…

Nobody is saying the Capitol District would close. Barrel and Vine was rumored to be a second location.

Let it Fly has a liquor license request for the Barrel and Vine building in front of city council next week so we can confirm that rumor.

Just saw this on a Sioux Falls news site

Let It Fly will permanently close its doors at 5 p.m. on Monday.

“This decision was not made lightly, and it comes after careful consideration of how to best utilize our resources to build the Let It Fly franchise at our other locations.”

We stopped by about 45 minutes before the Husker game only to find out they like reservations. We did not have one so we got stuck by the windows where it is tough to see any TV, much less the big screen. Of the 25 or so prime tables, 7 were empty before the game with 3 showing up at kickoff. When we left at halftime, 4 were still empty. I hope they charge a minimum tab or change that policy.

Overall the service was great, especially with it being a gameday.
