Benson Brewery

Benson Brewery anchors the craft beer landscape along Omaha's lively Maple Street corridor in the Benson neighborhood, one of Nebraska's most celebrated independent nightlife districts. Situated at 6059 Maple St, the taproom pours more than 20 rotating taps spanning house-brewed originals alongside rotating Nebraska craft selections—hop-forward IPAs, crisp seasonal lagers, robust stouts, and tart sours cycle through the lineup throughout the year. The space is casual and unpretentious, with brick walls, communal seating, and a back patio that becomes a social destination during warmer Nebraska months. The crowd is mixed in age and background, predominantly regulars from the surrounding Benson community joined by craft beer enthusiasts exploring the district. Dress code throughout the week is informal—flannel, denim, and casual layers are standard. Weeknights carry a relaxed neighborhood-pub feel, while Fridays and Saturdays see the taproom fill steadily from mid-afternoon onward, reaching capacity by early evening. Beer flights allow guests to sample across the tap list methodically, and individual pints are priced accessibly at around $5-7. No cover charge applies on any night. The taproom does not operate a kitchen, but Maple Street's concentration of independent restaurants makes dining nearby easy before or after a visit. Last call falls at 2am on Friday and Saturday, 1am on weekdays, and midnight on Sunday—late enough for Benson Brewery to serve as both a starting point and a late-evening anchor within the strip. The surrounding block includes record stores, independent boutiques, and other bars, making the Benson Brewery visit a natural part of a longer walking bar-hop through one of Omaha's most walkable nightlife neighborhoods in Nebraska.
