DRAFT Magazine

In honor of DRAFT’s “Best Bars” list — which can be found in the Jan/Feb issue, we’re running a city-by-city breakdown on DRAFTMag.com in the coming weeks. (See the archive here.) The mighty cornfields of Nebraska get the treatment today.

Crescent Moon
3578 Farnam St., Omaha, NE 68131
402.345.1708 | www.crescentmoonalehouse.com
The Moon controls Omaha’s beer empire: Not only has Crescent Moon offered good beer to the masses for 12 years, it also opened Huber Haus, a German beer hall in the Moon’s basement, in 2005. Then, of course, there’s its Belgian beer mecca, Max & Joe’s, and bottle shop, Beertopia, which opened next door in 2006. The main bar has 100-plus bottles and more than 30 beers on tap (including selections from locals like Spilker and Empyrean), always served in appropriate glassware.
