Since 2010
A Benson
Original
Mantra Bar & Grille opened its doors in 2010 with one mission: serve the finest quality food and drinks in a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. Nestled in the heart of historic Benson, we've grown into a neighborhood institution.
Founded by legendary Omaha restaurateur Mac Thompsen — Nebraska Restaurant Hall of Fame inductee with 30+ years in the industry — and now carried forward by President and owner Travis Freeman, Mantra continues Mac's legacy of putting great food first.
From our house-cut chips with Maytag blue cheese to our signature Mantra Lollipops, every dish is made with fresh, carefully sourced ingredients by a kitchen that takes real pride in its craft.
All of our signature cocktails are $10, all day. And when it's time to celebrate, our space holds up to 65 guests for private events and catering.
