The Omaha Mining

$ 10 per person just to get in was too much. We were told there was nothing else like it in town but it looked pretty average inside. There weren’t that many people around and I was surprised they were willing to turn us away.

What a complete dump! Nice if you’re a vile drug addict or like drinking out of mason jars.

I’d give it 3 ½ stars if I could. Pretty average hole in the wall dive bar, cheap/​strong drinks, unpretentious patrons, pretty slow on weekdays but otherwise good.

For me, this is a nice and relaxing «hole in the wall» place. It’s the kind of bar where you can just come, sit at the bar, order your drink and relax for a bit and not have to worry about the pretentiousness you will find at a couple other establishments in the Omaha area.
If you are looking for a place that is super full on the weekends with shirtless twinks and stuck up jocks that can’t stop looking at their own reflections while they «dance», then this is NOT the place for you. If you want a place where you can just relax and be you… then I say check them out!

This place is known locally as «The Run” – or more appropriately as «The RUIN.» I used to go here a lot before I turned 21 because it was a fun after-​hours dance club. The cover used to be cheap and the music and clientele were decent. Fast forward a few years and this place is now a total debauchery dump.
Some of my friends decided it would be a good idea to go here recently. Being a bit tipsy at the time, I reluctantly agreed to go in. Not a good idea. The cover on a random Friday night was $ 6. Absolutely not worth it. The music was okay. The people were disgusting.
About a fourth of the people here don’t speak English and apparently don’t realize that this is primarily a GAY club. I don’t appreciate being molested by random stinky foreigners or being looked at funny if I’m dancing with another female. Another fourth of the people are tweakers and/​or high on some kind of drug. Yet another fourth of the people in here are gangbanger wannabes. So yeah, maybe a fourth of the people I saw in here were decent human beings.
I quit going here many years ago. I should have never gone back. What a waste of $ 6.
