Krug Park takes its name from the old Benson amusement park — “Omaha’s Polite Resort,” site of the 1930s roller coaster disaster — and the bar honors the history with a room full of vintage character. But the beer program is the real draw: 62 rotating drafts, a proper cask engine, and 200+ bottles and cans.
The Bloody Mary menu is legendary in its own right, with options like the Bacon Bloody Mary for hair-of-the-dog Sundays. The cocktail list is short but thoughtful, and the back patio is one of Benson’s best warm-weather hangs.
This is the Benson bar for people who actually care about beer. Come for happy hour, stay for the patio, and read up on the amusement park history — it’s wilder than you’d expect.
