Drinks & Nightlife
Being from Oregon we love our beer. Lost Cabin does it right. There is not a beer on the menu we have been disappointed with. Craft beer you will love in an environment you will feel at home in. Go for a hike or bike ride at M Hill then cross Omaha for a relaxing evening of beer and conversation.

You can't get better views than this! Located in the Hotel Alex Johnson. Take the elevator to the top (just note there is a $20 fee to get up there!) and be prepared to spend the evening gazing not at your date but the amazing views.
