Brickway holds down the Old Market — 1116 Jackson St, in the heart of downtown Omaha’s brick-paved historic district — and it’s been a fixture of the city’s craft scene long enough to feel permanent. The lineup is wide-ranging, the room is classic Old Market: brick, wood, and a crowd that mixes tourists with regulars.
Being in the Old Market means Brickway is often someone’s first Nebraska craft beer experience, and it handles that responsibility well — approachable enough for newcomers, interesting enough for the enthusiasts. It’s the rare downtown brewery that works as both a destination and a neighborhood bar.
Pair it with an Old Market evening: dinner, a pint, and the brick streets.
