Cool dance floor but needed to be dimmed a little. If the lighting was dimmer it would have made the place pop. DJ was average and the mix was sub par. I was expecting great throwback 80s music....well if he would have played the entire song it might have been better. I DJd during the 80s so I may know a thing or two. Getting frisked on the way in didn't start the night off too comfortably either. Waitresses wearing sill skimpy one piece leotards was a turn off. I felt uncomfortable the entire time. Only cool thing was the dance floor....which was too bright. It you are under 30 then you may like this sort of thing. West Omaha's version plays the 80s music better but even that was too loud. Oh well. I need to go take a nap now ?
so great awesome
Throwback arcade lounge is def by far the most fun bar in omaha. They start off with the best 80s hits and slowly throughout the night play some 00s/90s bangers. Super cool/ CLEAN bar area and dance floor. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Will forsure be there every weekend!
The building is so aesthetically appealing. From the outside with the patio chairs to enjoy the weather, all the way to the dance floor being a vibrant and a place to get loose. The staff is very welcoming. I love the drinks as they all have a special candy/item that comes inside. My friends come to have fun, play games, and eat. Sometimes we have so much fun we forget to go home when it’s time. The food is also great with a black chef!
We booked a VIP section for 10 people for my boyfriends birthday through the website which said it included entry and VIP wristbands for 5 people per bottle. When we arrived, they charged all of our guest including my boyfriend and I a $20 cover charge on top of the $623.00 bill for 2 bottles. We asked for the manager and voiced our concerns she said she would check for "clarification" and come back and let us know but she never came back to let us know anything. Next time I would like to book a VIP section I will book with a more honest business. I will not be spending money with Throwbacks anymore, very dishonest way of doing business.
Dirty bathrooms, sticky tables, and absolutely horrible pricing. Co2 tanks right by the smoking area makes this place extremely unsafe. The only reason 1 star is okay is because the bartenders are awesome. I’ll continue going to Retro Rewind where there is no cover and the drinks aren’t outrageous in pricing.
Bar was great but I watched the security guard call the cops on a guy cause he thought his ID was fake and it wasn't. I can't recommend anyone going out and dealing with that... So ill have to give it 2 stars because the point is to go out and have fun not get harassed over a legal ID.
The bar is advertised as an 80s throwback bar, but that is strictly for the facade. They do not play ANY 80s music. All they play is 2000s-90s rap & hip-hop grinding music. Everyone on the dance floor is so high that they either don't know that they are there or they want to fight. It's ridiculous and unpleasant!
Everyone is lovely! I’ve never had a bad experience there. It’s a great vibe for everyone, even the younger generation. My husband and I go every Saturday!
One of the best spots in Omaha. First off, this is one of the coolest places to visit in Omaha. You walk in, and see 80s theming everywhere. One of my favorite movies of all time is Rocky, and the Italian Stallion has a couple really cool banners up. I thought you’d have to stalk up on quarters, but all the arcade games are completely free to play. Ask one of the bartenders, and you can even play original Nintendo games for free on one of the many tv areas they have here. Perfect for boosting your drunk video gaming skills. Around 10 the place starts to really pickup, and by 11 it’s packed! It transforms from a cool 80s bar to a packed club with a DJ and security. The crowd is kind of a mix of college kids up to older adults, I’d say a pretty normal club scene. Also, I didn’t know Omaha had this many good looking girls! They’ve got some pretty good barbecue food, but you have to go up to their kitchen to order it and not the bar. The macaroni and cheese with sweet pulled pork on top killed my New Years resolution diet. As far as prices and cover go, it’s actually probably one of the more economical clubs to drink at. I think beers were about $5 each, and mixed drinks $6, much less than my tab at the Majestic movie theater in town. Upstairs, they’ve got a really cool rooftop bar complete with some really fun outdoor games. I might not be an expert at corn hole, but at least I can blame it on the really cool smoking shots the bartenders gave me. Ask for “dry ice” shots. Overall, I’d say this is one of the best spots in Omaha. If you’re new in town and looking for a fun spot to drink and play throwback arcade games, or looking to tear up Saturday night until the wee hours of the morning and find the love of your life, I’d say this is your spot.
