  Great service and the drinks were excellent. Really enjoyed the DJ and the ambience. I already plan on coming back here next time I'm downtown.

  I’ve been here 3 times now so I figured I would finally put in a review. My friend and I stopped in after leaving an event in the park. Each time I’ve come I’ve gotten better and better service. I’ve enjoyed this place as not only in agave spirit, lover, but also a mixologist myself who loves to see the unique Mixology that goes on into these beautifully crafted cocktails, that you will not see anywhere else. La chispa was so great with that hint of habanero and tang from the acv. I got to talk to the bartender a bit about their shrub in it! They were super cool! Oaxacan is always another favorite. The three bartenders behind the bar Saturday night, and the one server were all a delight and very knowledgeable and friendly. Even with it being a somewhat hectic night. I will agree, with some of the comments of the music is a little loud. I tried to just keep in mind that maybe it’s me getting older and I just can’t keep up. I do like to be able to talk to my friends and hear them. None the less. The music is great. Also, before opening, I was told there would be gluten-free options. I see online now that there is a gluten sensitive menu. Nothing is labeled on the menu in house, though. There have been a couple places downtown that have had options, but they told me due to not being able to communicate clearly with the kitchen, they would not be able to ask them to change gloves or anything like that since I have celiac disease. Although that is a disappointment for me, I am still very happy to come in even if it’s just for cocktails. The photos are from the first time I came. I could not remember the two drinks. I tried that night, but I do remember they were also lovely!

  Ghost Donkey in Omaha has my heart. This bar has an exquisite energy with lights, fun decor, and a well furnished outdoor seating area. The range of mezcals is fabulous! Since spending a stint of time in Oaxaca City, I’ve craved a thoughtful mezcal menu and this genuinely put me over the moon. The staff was friendly and helped recommend some popular options for my tastes (herbal, spiced) and offered me their different types of salts for accompaniment. Personally, if I have an option of a good Mezcal, I’m simply sipping straight! My friends tried different cocktails. The fun garnishes such as a rubber donkey were little crowd pleasers for sure. My friends did not all enjoy their drinks, and that is a risk that you take when trying a more niche type of bar with unique options. Everyone DID enjoy the opportunity to try new mixtures and feel adventurous with their beverages! Some people stuck to simple strawberry margaritas, and if you aren’t feeling adventurous, something classic will always do. With the decor setting, the thoughtful cocktails, and wide range of agaves, I personally felt right at home here and will most definitely be returning time and time again!

  This place has a crazy-cool vibe and decor. Our waiter was super attentive and was quick getting the drinks for my group. I don’t drink, so he suggested a non-alcoholic drink. I don’t know what it was called, but it was absolutely delicious and refreshing. It had ginger in it and cucumber.
