With the College World Series set to start, NCAA baseball fans from all over the country will be headed to Omaha, Nebraska, to watch the country’s eight best teams play each other with the goal of winning a championship. While it’s often overlooked, Omaha is a city that deserves more credit for everything it has to offer.
I actually had the pleasure of living in Omaha for a couple of years and, despite the bitter winters, I thoroughly enjoyed my time living in the Midwest.
Omaha is a wonderful city with a great food scene, plenty of bars (especially sports bars), and a solid amount of nightlife. There’s always something happening somewhere in town and, thanks to the size and layout of the city, it’s pretty easy to get just about anywhere you need within 20 to 30 minutes.
If you’ve got the opportunity to go see the College World Series, you should definitely take it.
And if you’ll be in Omaha, it’s worth getting a few ideas on what to do while you’re there. That’s what this guide is for, to help you get some ideas on what to do during your trip to see your team in the CWS.

Bars
If things go poorly in a game and you need something to distract you from the College World Series, Omaha has plenty of bars for you to help you forget your troubles, at least for an evening.
- The Trap Room
- Beercade – It’s a bar with a bunch of old school arcade games. It’s great!
- Burke’s Pub
- The Monster Club
- St. Andrew’s Pub
- The Waiting Room Lounge – they’ll have concerts happening, so if you REALLY need something else to entertain you after a bad loss, here you are.
