Dram & Grain
The underground whiskey watering hole is as exclusive as they get. Tuesday through Thursday seating comes on a first-come first-serve basis, while Friday through Saturday you can make reservations through texts only. However, try to get here on a Tuesday night, because bartender Lukas Smith creates five to six one-night-only cocktails. The dark, secretive speakeasy is located in the basement of Jack Rose Whiskey Saloon, and the cocktails are unbeatable in taste and creativity. Go for their signature ‘Ode to Omaha,’ made with a hickory smoked rum and served in a glass with a large ice cube. It’s so popular that there is also a two drink minimum.
