OLD MARKET. This large brewpub is upscale, very popular, and makes a great lunch stop. Although there may be a wait for a table, Upstream Brewing Company is huge so the wait is usually short.

The restaurant has a bar area, upstairs poolroom, and is known for its homemade beers that range from light ales to dark brews.

OLD MARKET. This restaurant offers delicious, spicy Creole cooking in an authentic New Orleans French Quarter setting right in the middle of downtown Omaha. A meal at Butsy Le Doux's is tantalizing. With menu choices like Voodoo Stew, jambalaya, and Cajun burgers, be sure to order water because the cuisine is hot, Hot, HOT! The decor features exposed brick floors, high ceilings, and wood tables with Mardi Gras accents. A bonus is the live blues and jazz band that plays regularly.

OLD MARKET. With flavorful, inexpensive food and great margaritas, this casual Mexican restaurant is a must. Julio's is located next to the Omaha History Center and provides an intimate ambience accented with neon lights, Tex-Mex accents, and tiered tables and booths. The food is filling and includes fajitas, burritos, enchiladas, and even the classic burger for those wanting something less adventurous. And if there's a Nebraska ball game to be seen, the owners are fans and will have it on in the bar television.
