Meet Assemble, the New DIY Craft Studio and Bar in Little Bohemia
Looking for something different to do in Omaha? Maybe a date night that doesn't involve another dinner reservation, a creative girls' night, or simply an excuse to get out of the house and try something new?
There's a brand new business in Little Bohemia that might be exactly what you're looking for.
Assemble, a DIY crafting studio and bar, officially opened October 8, 2026, bringing a creative new concept to Omaha's historic South 13th Street corridor.
The idea is simple. Pick a craft, grab a drink if you'd like, and spend some time making something.
You don't need to be an artist. You don't need to bring supplies. And you don't have to commit to an entire class just to try a new hobby.
For this edition of Discover Omaha, we're heading to Little Bohemia to explore one of the newest businesses in Douglas County and the neighborhood that makes it such an interesting addition to the Omaha metro.
What Is Assemble Omaha?
Assemble is an adults only creative space designed to make arts and crafts accessible, social, and fun.
Located inside the Boho Flats building at 1440 South 13th Street, the studio provides the materials, workspace, and guidance for guests to experiment with different creative projects.
Think of it as a craft studio with the casual atmosphere of a neighborhood hangout.
Instead of signing up for a traditional art class, you can stop in, select something that interests you, and work at your own pace.
The business describes its goal as providing a place where people can try something new, connect with others, or simply enjoy a little time away from the demands of everyday life.
And unlike many traditional crafting businesses, Assemble isn't focused on just one type of project.
The whole concept is built around variety.
What Can You Make at Assemble?
One of the most appealing things about Assemble is the opportunity to explore different creative mediums without having to purchase all the supplies yourself.
Projects can include:
Watercolor painting
Crochet
Macramé
Sculpting and other hands on art projects
Seasonal crafts and creative activities
The available selection may change, so it's worth checking the current craft menu before visiting.
Assemble offers both prepared craft kits and raw materials.
That means you can choose a project with a little more structure or start with a blank slate and see where your creativity takes you.
It's especially appealing for anyone who has ever been curious about a hobby but didn't want to spend money on a collection of supplies that might end up sitting in a closet.
How Does Assemble Work?
The process is refreshingly straightforward.
When you arrive, you'll check in at the bar and select a project from the craft menu.
Once you've chosen your activity, you can find a place to sit, order a drink if you'd like, and get settled.
The staff brings the necessary supplies and instructions to your table.
From there, you're free to work at your own pace.
If you need help, staff members are available to answer questions and offer guidance.
The studio is designed to accommodate both people who want to socialize and those who prefer to put on headphones and focus on their own projects.
That flexibility is part of what makes the concept different from a scheduled, instructor led class.
You can make the experience as social or as quiet as you want.
How Much Does Assemble Omaha Cost?
According to Assemble's website, guests can generally expect crafts to cost between $10 and $50 per project, depending on what they choose.
That makes it possible to try a smaller activity without committing to an expensive workshop.
The studio also sells alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages.
Drinks are optional, and guests are welcome to bring their own snacks.
Assemble also provides a water bottle filling station.
Because the business is still new and its craft menu is evolving, prices and available projects may change.
We recommend checking the official website or social media pages for the latest information.
Is Assemble a Good Date Night or Girls' Night Idea?
Absolutely, and this is probably one of the most interesting aspects of the business.
Omaha has plenty of wonderful restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, and entertainment venues.
But sometimes you want an activity that gives everyone something to do while spending time together.
Assemble offers exactly that.
It could be a fun option for:
A creative date night in Omaha
A girls' night or friends' outing
A birthday celebration
A small group gathering
Trying a new hobby without buying supplies
A solo afternoon doing something creative
And if you're planning a group event, Assemble also offers private party and event rentals.
One important detail: Assemble is an adults only space for guests ages 18 and older.
So while it's a fun option for adults, it's not intended as a children's birthday party destination.
What's Coming Next for Assemble?
Although Assemble just opened in October, the business already has plans to expand its offerings.
Its website mentions future workshops with local creators, seasonal crafts, and event hosting.
That could create opportunities for Omaha artists and makers to share their skills with the community while giving customers new reasons to return.
Assemble hasn't published a complete schedule of those future workshops yet, so keep an eye on its website and social media accounts for announcements.
You can find the business on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok at @assembleomaha.

Why Little Bohemia Is Such an Interesting Location
Assemble's location is part of what makes this opening worth talking about.
Little Bohemia is one of Omaha's most historically significant neighborhoods, located along South 13th Street just south of downtown.
The neighborhood developed as a center of Omaha's Czech immigrant community during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
For generations, the area was home to Czech owned businesses, restaurants, gathering places, and residences.
The neighborhood's history is still reflected in its buildings and streetscape today.
According to the National Park Service, Little Bohemia developed with a distinctive mix of commercial and residential properties, sometimes on the same lots.
That combination helped create a neighborhood where people lived, worked, shopped, and gathered within a relatively small area.
Today, Little Bohemia is experiencing renewed interest as independent businesses, restaurants, bars, and creative spaces continue to bring activity to South 13th Street.
The neighborhood's historic character remains an important part of its identity.
And businesses like Assemble fit naturally into that environment.
A Neighborhood Worth Exploring
One of the fun things about visiting Assemble is that you can make an entire outing out of exploring Little Bohemia.
The neighborhood has a growing collection of independently operated businesses, creative spaces, restaurants, and gathering spots.
You can spend time exploring South 13th Street, discovering local shops, and enjoying the area's distinctive mix of historic architecture and newer businesses.
Little Bohemia also offers something different from Omaha's larger shopping districts.
Rather than a collection of national retailers, the neighborhood has developed a reputation for independent businesses with their own personalities.
That makes it a particularly interesting destination for residents who enjoy exploring Omaha beyond the familiar shopping and entertainment corridors.
What New Businesses Say About Omaha's Neighborhoods
We spend a lot of time following new development throughout the Omaha metro.
New subdivisions in Gretna.
Commercial growth in Papillion.
New construction in Elkhorn.
Restaurants and businesses opening throughout West Omaha.
But some of the most interesting changes are happening in Omaha's established neighborhoods.
Places like Little Bohemia demonstrate how older commercial districts can attract new businesses while retaining their historical identity.
A creative studio opening in a mixed residential and commercial neighborhood might not sound like a major development announcement.
But these smaller additions contribute to the experience of living in a city.
They give residents more reasons to visit a neighborhood, support independent businesses, and spend time in places they might otherwise overlook.
They also help create the distinct personalities that make Omaha's neighborhoods different from one another.
Living in Omaha's Historic Neighborhoods
For people considering moving to Omaha, there are many different types of neighborhoods to explore.
Some buyers are drawn to newer homes and subdivisions in West Omaha, Elkhorn, or the surrounding Sarpy County communities.
Others are interested in established Omaha neighborhoods with historic architecture, walkable commercial areas, and a strong sense of local identity.
Little Bohemia offers an interesting example of the latter.
Its location near downtown Omaha, historic streetscape, and concentration of independent businesses give it a different atmosphere from the city's newer residential areas.
And while no neighborhood is the right fit for everyone, understanding those differences is an important part of finding a place that feels like home.
When you're researching Omaha real estate, it's worth looking beyond home prices and square footage.
Explore the restaurants.
Visit the shops.
Walk the surrounding streets.
Pay attention to how a neighborhood feels.
Sometimes a place makes more sense after you've spent an afternoon there than it ever could from looking at real estate listings online.
