A decent spot to grab an old school mixed drink in a dark, sports-themed atmosphere. Like I totally see lonely men in their 50s gathering here to watch golf and drown their sorrows on Sundays. I dropped $ 21(including tip) to get my wife and me one glass of house red wine, one rum and coke(would not recommend drinking the crystal clear well rum, yuck) and one Dewar’s on the rocks($ 9). I even with the Holiday being a divey sort of place I expected either cheaper drinks or higher quality one for that price. Ah well. They had some Nebraska Brewing Co. on tap, which is the route I’d go next time. Not sure when that’ll be though, if ever!

Are you in debt? Hate your job? Bitter about your marriage and suburban lifestyle? Come enjoy the dark, murky Holiday Lounge, where stiff drinks help divorced middle aged people mingle and complain. I’m also a naïve millennial, so maybe you’ll like it. I suppose it’s just not my speed.

A classic Omaha lounge that has been around forever with classic bartenders. They’re not there to make you a craft cocktail, but provide a quality stiff drink with excellent service. There are always plenty of regulars there to shoot the shit with. Nothing fancy about this place which is why I love it. Always very clean & relaxing.

Kentucky Derby on the TV, a game of cards for the old guys, friendly and attentive staff, and a local hangout! While waiting for my fiancé to get off work I was able to find this place and make myself at home. I enjoyed talking to the locals while pulling up a comfortable seat at the bar. I would return if in the area again! They put free Doritos in front of me. I’ve never seen that before! Nice touch!

There is something about this place that makes you feel at home the minute you walk in the door. The sunken bar. The old school pours. The friendly bartenders and waitresses. I’m sure it’s a combination of all those things. Great place to start or end a night out.

Strong drinks, great bartenders and a cool mix of people in there. If you are looking for a variety of beers this isn’t your place. If you are looking for and old school lounge that will serve you a strong drink, this is your place. The Holiday is usually full of regulars who are down to party but not looking for the place to get rowdy.

One of the top lounges in Omaha. Always a good mix of young vs. old. Solid drinks, great staff and good atmosphere. What more do you want!

I was on a 4 month job in Omaha. This bar was right behind my hotel so it was«convenient». It turned out to be so much more. Bill the bartender is awesome, Mary Kate is like sunshine in the dark. This place is a regulars but you only have to visit once to be treated like family. I stopped in 6 months later and they remembered my name! An Omaha must see

It’s not a dive; it’s just a neighborhood bar that hasn’t changed much since the 70’s. Everyone knows each other, and the bartenders do a good job but aren’t there to be your best friend. Surprise was Lucky Bucket Lager on tap. I know it’s common, but it’s a solid beer and was nice to find here. They have free wifi too and you can have Zio’s pizza delivered inside. Can’t go wrong with that.

The Holiday’s vibe is a little odd sometimes, but overall it’s a really nice alternative to the noisy, hipster bars I typically visit. Their seating is really cushy and the 70s vibe makes me feel like an extra in «Boogie Nights.» The downsides: a bit pricey(esp. package) and the«regulars» can seem a bit stare-y and territorial. Overall, a nice alternative to The Homy, The Brothers, etc.

Not to split hairs, but the Holiday is not a dive bar as other reviewers may lead you to believe. Vinyl chairs stolen from a VFW in 1978 and bartenders who know how to pour an ample amount of alcohol in their drinks does not a dive bar make. If you want to grab a drink at a place where you won’t find 21 year-old skanks ordering blender drinks or meatheads with too much cologne, this is the place to do that.

Now this is a good dive bar. It’s get nice old school chairs and lots of seating. The server was super attentive and has the psychic ability to know what kind of bills you are going to pay with and has your change ready every time. Nice low key spot with a chill vibe…
