The theater is beautiful with ornate designs to the boxes, unbelievably detailed ceilings with stunning chandeliers, and gorgeous embellishments everywhere. The acoustics and lighting during the performances are great and we were really impressed with the quality of show. Seats are comfortable and between that, the music, and the wine I was practically lulled to sleep. Restrooms are nice and clean and large enough to keep the line during intermission from becoming completely ridiculous. Another great thing about intermission is you can refresh your wine supply in a sippy cup you are permitted to bring into the theater with you. I also really appreciate how friendly everyone is here. It's easy getting your tickets and there are helpful individuals to assist you in finding your seats. Between the beautiful and clean venue, the amazing shows they offer, and the friendly service, this is a great place for a fun date night in Omaha.

My review is a few years late...(or in the works)…read more The Orpheum is Omaha's oldest theater. and has been rebuilt a few times. It is the iconic Orpheum you would envision. Ornate plaster work throughout a large hall with multi tiers of detail and old world craftsmanship not done anymore. There is one entrance with about 4 doors to pass through and a mobile bar right when you get in. (this is the busiest spots to get a drink just keep walking) Straight ahead is the main staircase and to your left are the current show concessions followed by restroom and another bar and stairs. Each floor here has its own bar and the 3rd floor also has restrooms the 2nd does not. Most of the seats her have a great view its really impossible to not have a good view of the stage. 1st loge is my favorite. I feel I get full view of the entire stage from a higher up vantage point The acoustics are perfect. The temps are about always perfect not hot not cold. Of all the cities I have been this is for sure my favorite venue for performing arts. Maybe because its home and feels comfy, but looking at all the bonuses nope. This place is a GEM!!!

Drinks were good and not too terribly priced, which is always a great thing. I always forget about parking in this area and it was a little difficult due to some construction that was going on but that's no fault of the venue. I appreciated the workers that were very quick to come around and pick up empty drinks. The place was very clean and a very good place to enjoy a show.

They have tons of beer on tap and mixed drinks on tap. They have surprisingly impressive liquor selection, I was surprised to see a couple amaros, Booker's, and other nice bourbons behind the bar. Reasonably priced tickets and drinks, and we didn't have to wait long in line to get in. The acoustics are good, and the tear down/set up between bands was smooth. It's a great venue to catch a show anytime!

They have tons of stuff going on like bands, comedy shows, and used to have trivia but I don't know if they do anymore - and the bartenders have always been great. There is always something fun happening there, even if it's just a plain old bar night. The drinks are served cold and crisp, and best of all - it's way less expensive than some other bars in the Benson area. A great place for a cheap beer and the best people!

This place is something else. I've been here twice now. Each…read moretime, my experience was phenomenal and memorable. Not because of the shows per se, but because of the community this place has created. The employees who make it all happen. I'll talk specifically about tonight. Went to a show, and had an issue with my ticket. This issue was an issue I created by making a mistake when the tickets were transferred, but Steelhouse employees were so quick and helpful. They took something that could have ruined a whole evening, and they resolved it within minutes. That alone was impressive and very kind especially since the mistake was not on their end. I was greeted by familiar faces, some who seemed to even remember me back. My next experience was specifically upstairs in the balcony. I'm currently expecting and needed to sit down and rest for a bit due to some complications I've been having. The employees checked on me regularly and went way above and beyond to make sure I was well cared for. I'm not special, they did this to everyone there. I saw paramedics with a gentleman, and shortly after, an employee took the rest of his evening to sit next to this ill person and assist them until I can only assume their ride arrived safely. The janitors were kind, and picked up very quickly after people's accidents left and right. Their work does not go unappreciated by people like me, who could've slipped and fallen on the spilled drinks along the way to and from the GA floor. Even the elevator greeters genuinely seemed excited for you to experience all this place had to offer. The cops that nod your way as you exit the venue are kind as well. This place doesn't appear to be an establishment of employees, but a community built upon responsibility and caring for one another - what a venue should be. I will be back, and I cannot wait to greet the faces of those who work so hard to make simple concerts so so special and memorable in ways that you just don't find just anywhere.

This is a modern and beautiful venue. We saw Nate Jackson on 02/21/26. There was zero line to get…read morein and plenty of security to get people inside quickly and just as many ticket scanners. The service is too notch and plenty of ushers do walk you directly to your seats. There are at least four bars from what I saw (one in main hallway and three in the seating/stage area). There were plenty of bartenders as well. They have a coat check in and there's plenty of space to stand around before the show starts. My only complaint is the seats are small foldable chairs and connected to each other so you can't move them at all and you can be touching elbows or bottoms depending on the size of people

Recently saw Mama Mia and we were high up but there's really not a bad seat in the house. The sound quality was excellent. There are a lot of stairs but also elevators and lots of staff to help direct you to your seat. The seats are small with not much leg room but that's to be expected. In the heart of downtown, there are several parking garages and metered stalls nearby though right now in Spring 2026, there is construction and street closures all over the place. I'd get there early and maybe plan to walk a few blocks. Love this venue though for it's beauty and the feeling you're seeing something special.

In the past year I have found a new affinity of mine: going to ballets at the Orpheum. The first…read moreone I saw was Alice In Wonderland, and I more recently saw the Nutcracker. I fully intend to go to more ballets and upcoming events here, as I had a great experience, as did my family. The ticket prices are less than expected for a ballet, and when seated on the floor you can see the stage very clearly. The second time I went we were on the balcony, albeit near the back, and I much prefer being seated on the floor. The theatre itself is beautiful; the architecture and inner design is gorgeous to look at, take pictures in, and marvel at before the show as well as during intermission. The bathrooms are accessible and there are drinks and small refreshments available. It isn't a huge selection so don't come on an empty stomach, but they are nice to nibble on throughout the show. I have not had the best experience with the mixed drinks, and they tend to be overly strong, which is not my preference whatsoever. It can be overwhelming and my last drink I could not finish and ended up tossing. Overall, I would highly recommend supporting our local arts and taking an outing to go see a ballet here. It is such a fun girly activity, and can be done decently affordable. Take the opportunity to get dressed up, take pics before the ballet, and enjoy a great show here!

There has been a single large tent for shade, although last summer there were 2 and it really helped. It can be HOT, but of course, there is then a need to drink a little more beer. Beer! I remember 2 vendors, plus the indoor bars are also open and 2 years ago we went in for some food and out of the weather. It is difficult to say how many types of beer is available as they change. Insides have numerous varieties. I bought a stein and you are welcome to bring it back each year, of course, you have to remember it, mine was on the kitchen counter at home. Music polka, of course. Two different bands played with an hours intermission with the takedown and set up as the change. Yes, it can be loud. Lots of laughing and dancing, some singing if you know the words is strongly encouraged. COST? There was no cost to enter with food and drinks paid for with tickets sold as you enter. The emphasis is on having a good time. With us, it has succeeded. Caution....WATCH THE WEATHER. the sun can be hot, the wind will blow and storms are always a possiblity.

There is not much to this park outside of an amphitheater and a lot of green space. That makes it primary and main use being special events. It is also popular among dog walkers though. The grounds have lights, so it is not limited to daytime events. The park is well maintained and spans seven and a half acres. It is touted as "Omaha's home for outdoor events". It is nestled in the Midtown Crossing neighborhood and is rumored to be popular among its residents. The park hosts a bunch of events. Some of its signature events include Jazz on the Green, Turner Park Night Market, Yoga in the Park, Bocce Ball Leagues, Wednesday Workouts, the Season of Lights and Playing with Fire. It averages about 150 events each year. I visited thpark when there was no event going on, but it did not stop me from seeing the great potential that the park has in hosting events. The space is priemium and perfect for events. The grounds are well maintained. The only thing that I did not see was a restroom facility. I guess events planners have to bring in port-a-pottys for their events.
