A sample of Omaha's Old Market night scene

In front of Billy Frogs


Billy Frogs








Myth






Underground


The Dubliner


Hoodlum street performers gather a crowd.






This cat should've gone home LONG ago, trying to walk through the Taco Bell drive thru. :shock: :lol:

Neat. I've walked through the Bank of America drive through bank machine line here in St. Louis, but only when the pedestrian one was out of service.

And someone is seriously getting their ass handed to them here, although, I think he's got a bit of trouble on the 14-ball:

The pictures are great! It is nice to see the downtown so vibrant and inviting although I'm inclined to prefer a broader diversity of people.

It seems as if you're assuming, based on these photos from about four or so of the countless bars in the downtown area, that there's no diversity in downtown Omaha. Well, if that's the case, you couldn't be more wrong.

billy frogs looks the place where you end up like the drunk dude in the taco bell drive-thru and myth seems like the place where you can relax.

Raraavis... Myth is just west of Speghetti Works.

dktshb... Even though my photo of the Underground doesn't show it, it is a very mixed crowd in there most of the time.

JMancuso.... That's a pretty accurate assement of both places. Myth is very laid back and the music is playing soft so you can have conversation. Billy Frogs is blaring rock and hiphop and two fisting drinks.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Those are excellent pictures wags. They depict a growing and diverse nightlife scene in the Old Market..One that is spilling into other areas of downtown Omaha as well..The current vibrancy of nightlife in downtown Omaha is the best its EVER been..And in the next 2-3 years, it will completely blow up..

Thanks for posting those pics!..

..

..Ciao..LiO....Peace

That's not the case, I am not assuming anything, I just stated a preference.
