The Omaha City Council approved several liquor licenses and license changes during its March 11 meeting, including new retail licenses for Terra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse, No Good (brunch/bagel concept), Thai Kitchen (beer and wine), a transfer for Don Gabby's Sports Bar and an addition to Warhorse Casino's license for its expansion.
The Omaha City Council on March 11 unanimously approved a series of liquor-license items for restaurants and a casino expansion, moving several routine retail license requests forward after short public hearings.
Approvals recorded at the meeting included:
- Terra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse (Class C liquor license) at 13851 First National Bank Parkway — proponents described this as an established Brazilian steakhouse concept with existing locations in other states. (Motion passed 7–0.)
- No Good (brunch and bagel concept, Class I liquor license) at 3528 Center Street — owner Katina Talley said the concept will serve bagels, sandwiches and brunch cocktails during 7 a.m.–2 p.m. hours. Councilmembers expressed support for the local entrepreneur. (Motion passed 7–0.)
- Thai Kitchen (Class I liquor license) at 16909 Lakeside Hills Plaza, Suite 101 — owner Adam Stevens asked to add beer and wine to the restaurant’s menu; inspections were reported up to date. (Motion passed 7–0.)
- Transfer/change-of-location for a Class C license (Don Gabby’s Sports Bar) — owner said he is relocating an existing license to 1919 Missouri Avenue. (Motion passed 7–0.)
- Warhorse Casino Omaha — council approved an amendment and addition to the casino’s license to accommodate an expansion of approximately 76,000 square feet that will add restaurants and administrative/gaming space; the council approved a scaled amendment and the expanded license as amended. (Motion passed 7–0.)
In each case, proponents answered brief questions from council members about hours, operations and inspections. No substantial opposition was raised at the hearings for these items.
Outcome: Council approved these liquor license requests by unanimous votes; approvals will be forwarded to necessary administrative processing and to the Liquor Control Commission as required.
