I was thinking the same thing as I shot those pics. I forgot to go back and see if I could tell if there was anything underneath. At least they could paint some of the brick rows white to match buildings.GetUrban wrote:It would be a shame if they didn't get rid of that old shingled canopy / facade while they're at it. There must be something better underneath all of that |expletive|.

They don't make building codes different for drunks... Â Someone can just as easily fall off while having a medical episode. Â
This is going to be great. Â Other than the Upstream, does any other bar in Omaha have a rooftop deck?

Re: 1912 Restaurant & Bar - Downtown Benson
Is that really a 'true' rooftop bar? its more of a open second level bar.. anyways I'm absolutely loving the focus on density in Benson the way things are going if you fast forward 2-3 years I don't see any other way that Benson won't be the premier bar scene in the city most likely even better than the Old Market!
Re: 1912 Restaurant & Bar - Downtown Benson
They need to do something about where the smell from the kitchen goes. It lets out above the kitchen(obviously) and it smells like rotten eggs on the rooftop. I have no idea how they would remedy it, but it really smells bad.Coyote wrote:1912's kitchen opened yesterday...
Re: 1912 Restaurant & Bar - Downtown Benson
Also 1912 just opened a full service bar on the roof. A huge improvement.

Yes! I was there last weekend for a friend's birthday, and it was a great place to spend the evening. Good drinks with a nice view!iamjacobm wrote:Also 1912 just opened a full service bar on the roof. A huge improvement.

Has 1912 closed permanently? Thought it was the best rooftop bar in the area.
Re: 1912 Restaurant & Bar - Downtown Benson

Re: 1912 Restaurant & Bar - Downtown Benson
I don't go to Benson a ton, but I feel like 1912 got a reputation for having a rougher crowd, some fights, and just not the overall hipster vibe Benson has tried to build. Correct me if I'm wrong. But, the more Bensonite friends of mine all seemed to agree: "If you wanted to give Benson and enema, 1912 is where you'd stick the hose." Their words not mine. I generally always seemed to have an ok time there, but I was typically there on Friday afternoons with work people for a quick happy hour. If I ever suggested 1912 to my friends that frequented the area, I'd always get pushed to go somewhere else, especially places like Krug Park next door, but never 1912. Feels like they lost the regulars of that area.

Re: 1912 Restaurant & Bar (Benson)
Their website says "TEMPORARILY CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS AND REPAIRS" and their Yelp listing says their scheduled reopen is June 1st. Though, according to their Facebook, it looks like they've been closed since November 2022. So, that's a long time to "We're going to take this opportunity to throw on a coat of paint, refinish our floors and do other general renovations we've been delaying."

Rumor is this is getting sold to owner of Barchen. Might be cool new concept, but sucks it will prob be closed all summer
Re: 1912 Restaurant & Bar - Downtown Benson
Any updates on this? Obviously still closed but anything on the horizon?BensonBunnyBoy wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 2:44 pm Rumor is this is getting sold to owner of Barchen. Might be cool new concept, but sucks it will prob be closed all summer
Re: 1912 Restaurant & Bar (Benson)
Some of the comments on their stagnant Facebook page are amusing. IIRC, one commenter asked if they were waiting for the repair person to be born.
