The Verdict Bar & Grill 1901 Harney Street, Omaha, NE 68102

"I stayed at the IHG Express 02/14/24. I found this bar and grill on line and walked to the location.. found it to be friendly and inviting. I had a couple of Manhattans with buffalo wings and fries. The wings were excellent , and the fries were very good. The bar tender was Bridget,(hopefully I remembered her name correctly)very friendly and welcoming. I'm glad I stopped in. I had a good evening with drinks and food. I would definitely return when in the area."

"I really want to like this place because it's at a convenient location, but they make it very hard to. I'll start with their silly water policy. They refuse to provide free water, even to paying customers. Any place that serves alcohol and does not provide free water is doing things so wrong. They have the ability to, but just refuse to. My group bought a bunch of food and drinks and they still tried to make us pay $2 for bottled water. Ridiculous. Regarding the food, it is bad even for bar food. A friend got chips and cheese dip, and the dip came out cold like it had been sitting out for a long time. The flatbread I got was gross and burnt to hell on the bottom. Their hamburgers were sad and unsatisfying. It wasn't even a busy night, so I have no idea how they are missing the mark so hard in the kitchen. The atmosphere is generally a little unwelcoming. There's an awful smell at the door when you walk in (I think maybe it's the smell from their grease trap? Gross...) The woman tending the bar when I went in previously did a great job and was friendly. Other than her, the staff is pretty uninviting. I considered giving 2 stars because at least they're open late and have karaoke sometimes, but then I remembered how bad the grease trap smelled again! Gross! Bro clean that thing! They can and should do way better. Until they do I will urge my friends to choose a different place when we're out. It was just not a good experience."

"I've Always Been A Fan Of The Verdict. Good Food And Great Times. Although Taco Tuesday Left A Lot To Be Desired. I Like A Good Fried Taco Shell But This Burnt Shell Was A Bit Much.But Hey Can't Expect Too Much For $1 ! I Will Return For More Burnt Tacos Again!"

"Had such a fun time here last night. Had dinner, drinks, watched a show. We even played pool. It was a very clean comfortable nice experience. I definitely have already recommended it to friends."

"Although, the staff was beyond friendly and welcoming, I was a bit disappointed in some of the food. I ordered the mushrooms and was looking forward to them, but unfortunately, every bite was blobs of grease/oil. And at $8.95 for the basket of mushrooms…it’s a bit over priced. The “regular” burger was ok; nothing super special. Great location, just needs a bit more."
