Farm-Fresh Flavor in the Heart of the Old Market

Gather - Omaha is a modern American restaurant tucked into the historic Old Market district, just a short walk from many of the city’s top concert venues. Set in a beautifully restored space with exposed brick and sleek lighting, this spot blends urban chic style with a welcoming, relaxed vibe. What sets it apart? A real working indoor hydroponic farm that supplies greens and herbs right to your plate.

Why Concert-goers love it

Gather is a favorite for music fans because it’s just minutes from downtown performance spaces. It’s ideal for a pre-show dinner, thanks to its quick yet attentive service and a menu that’s both inventive and satisfying. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance—upbeat but not overwhelming—so you can fuel up without shouting over your meal. Bonus: the craft cocktails and elevated bites make it easy to turn dinner into part of the night out.
