West Omaha is where the city loosens up: longer drives, newer neighborhoods, and Zorinsky Lake off to the southwest. It is not one main street, so this walk picks the pocket that actually works on foot.
114th and Davenport holds a short row of independent rooms: the Green Onion Lounge, Stories Coffee, Fernando's, and Acadian Grille. Park once. The four doors are a few minutes apart.
The rest of the west side is a drive. This corner is a neighborhood.

The story
West Omaha's rapid expansion began in the 1990s as families moved to newly developed subdivisions. Village Pointe shopping center, the Funny Bone comedy club, and Barnato (an art-deco music lounge attached to a Bentley dealership) represent the eclectic mix of suburban convenience and unexpected cultural offerings.
