About this vendor
We Cater to Taste Buds
When it's time for family or friends or colleagues or all three to get together and literally break bread, there are few places more apropos to hold such a shindig than an Upstream banquet room. The fact that our banquet rooms include actual banquets may be obvious to some, but should be considered and appreciated by all.
After more than 20 years in the Old Market, we know a thing or thirty about hosting a soiree. Our rooms are inviting and often billiard-laden. Our menu can be whatever your heart desires. And let's not forget our beer. Because that would be sad. So when you're ready to impress your guests with exquisite fare, superior service, stunning table settings and much more we'll have a room waiting.

We had a "Night before the Wedding" dinner in the lower level room at the Upstream. It was awesome! The set up was great and the food was delicious! Maria was easy to work with! The bartender, Brian, and the server, Tim, were amazing! They made the night even more incredible by how special they made us feel and how incredibly hard they worked! From the minute we walked in, I felt that they would do anything to make sure the night went smoothly! They were able accommodate a few gluten free guests and a few kids, which we really appreciated.
The space was perfect and everyone really enjoyed the food, drinks and atmosphere!
I would 100% recommend Upstream for special events!
We were upgraded to their big party room downstairs for our rehearsal, that had a private bar, and it was absolutely amazing! The food was so delicious and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great rehearsal dinner spot! So happy with how my night turned out!

Thank you for the glowing review! I am glad we were able to make your event memorable. - Chip Allen
We used their large party room for our rehearsal dinner. We were not disappointed! The food was amazing, and our guests enjoyed themselves before the big day. The facility was exactly what we wanted. Our families and wedding party had a chance to relax and just talk before the wedding. Our out of town guest commented on how nice the facility was. Many guests raved about the catfish and the dessert tray. Maria and her team made our special weekend wonderful. My husband and I plan to come back to eat there again the next time we visit Omaha.

We had our rehearsal dinner at Upstream in one of their banquet rooms. Highly satisfied with the food and staff! Everyone was complimenting the food and the service from the staff! Maria was great to work with and made sure all of our needs were met! Highly recommend!
We picked the Upstream for the brunch after our wedding. We worked with Maria and she was the most amazing ever. We could not have been happier with the venue. The location. And Maria- who I am pretty sure is the best person to work with in the world. Thank you Upstream for making our weekend that much more special.
We had our rehearsal dinner at the West location. The food was good and the atmosphere was great, but I was a little disappointed in a few things. I thought the time we booked the upstairs room meant that would be the time the food would be out --- it wasn't. We booked the room and told our guests to arrive around 7:15pm, but when we got there, the staff told us the food would come out around 8pm. Seriously?! If I had known that, I would have told people to come later. So that was a little awkward just having all our guests wait around for 45 minutes. That aspect wasn't made clear to us when we booked. Also, the room definitely did not hold as many people as we were told it would. I was a little relieved that some people who RSVP'd didn't end up showing up, because there would not have been room for them to sit. I will say though, the atmosphere was great, and we had our own bartender and bar upstairs, which was convenient for our guests. Overall, it was good, but not great in my opinion for a rehearsal dinner. But for everyday dining, I do like their food.
The Service was great and they were flexible with my start time. We did buffet style which worked well for our guests. The private bar was nice but it wasn't completely stocked and the bartender kept having to run back upstairs.
We held our rehearsal dinner in the basement room of the Upstream and it was an unforgettable event. The food was fantastic, the service wonderful and the venue itself charming. We will all remember the event well and would recommend this site to everyone!
My husband and I had our wedding reception here and it was beyond PERFECT! We had a smaller wedding with about 50 guests, so this was the ideal location for us! We opted for the buffet dinner and the food was phenomenal!!! Our wait staff was very very very VERY good! They were extremely helpful during the course of our reception and made sure we had everything we needed at any given moment. We also had the pool room attached and my guests loved being able to go shoot some pool after they finished eating. Upstream was able to accommodate a cake table and a small dance area for The First Dance, Father-Bride Dance, Bouquet Toss, etc. and there was even enough room for a chunk of my guests to get up and bust a move after all the "special dances" were done! Upstream was also able to accommodate our music selection by hooking up our iPod to their sound system. We also had our wedding cakes done by Dorothy at Upstream and they turned out great!! Maria and her crew are amazing and we are very appreciative of everything they did to make our wedding reception unforgettable! My husband and I would recommend this venue for any small reception or rehearsal dinner! We are more than pleased!! THANK YOU, UPSTREAM!!
My in-laws had our rehearsal Dinner at Upstream in the Old Market. It was a beautiful room and the food was delicious. The staff was fantastic - very attentive. We would highly recommend this location for a rehearsal dinner
This place is great! It's got great food, great looks, and a great location!
We had a great time at our rehearsal dinner!
We go to the Upstream often and I knew that is where we wanted our rehearsal. We had a buffet, so it was to be expected that the quality of the food wasn't as good as a plated dinner. We were also in the pool room and it was too loud for speeches. But loved the atmosphere.
We had catering done by Upstream for the Rehearsal Dinner and they were fantastic! The service was outstanding and the food was great as well.
This is just a really fun place to have the rehearsal dinner, granted you do not have a too large of a group. We had a lot of out of towners to account for, but it worked out wonderfully. Yummy beer and food!
