Revitalized historic district is one of Omaha's most popular spots any night of the week. Visit Omaha’s Blackstone District, home of the classic Rueben Sandwich. Visitors can taste the original recipe at Crescent Moon. Consistently ranked as one of the top beer bars in the country by Draft Magazine, ‘The Moon’ is located above Huber Haus, an authentic German beer hall serving up bier, brats and famously Das Boot!
Along with its rich history, The Blackstone District offers some local favorites. Two craft breweries, Farnam House Brewing and Scriptown, add to Omaha’s growing reputation as a craft beer city and offer a unique experience. Nite Owl is the quirky, cool craft cocktail bar with a late night food menu featuring thick burgers, salty fries and fresh salads until 2am. A couple doors down is Mula, Blackstone’s ultra trendy Mexican restaurant and certified tequileria. A block away, Noli’s Pizzeria, serves up New York style pizza and classic Italian deserts.

Most of the businesses here have made their homes in old theaters and dealerships, revamping the neighborhood, mixing the old with the new, and creating a vibe that is unparalleled to nearby communities.
