Worth noting. Good barkeeps, too. The games are old school, and I'm old, so I love this place. Bless 'em for letting me live in my youth for a moment. Cost is reasonable, too. Parking is Benson. Depending on when you go, it could be great, or packed. YMMV. Will definitely return.

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

The arcade is curated with an amazing collection of pinball machines and video games. During non-pandemic times, it appears the plan is for $5 cover and free play of all games.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I've been here numerous times and I am just not a fan at all of…read morethe design of this venue. It seems horribly laid out, almost every time I go, we go the wrong direction to our seats because signs don't direct you properly and are confusing, even venue staff seem confused at how to direct you to your seats. This results in a lot of backtracking as the venue is huge. Most seats are nice but the very upper bowl is very steep, terrifying and never a desirable spot to be in. More recently, I've gone to Disney on ICE and have become even more unimpressed that they have zero diaper changing tables--it's just a hard counter out in the open. One time I even walked to the family bathroom, still a counter. I understand that most shows/events here aren't exactly for small children but to not even have that accessibility is wrong (and then expect people to bring in clear bags so your child doesn't have a cover/cushion at all to change them on). Seems like this would be a minor adjustment the venue could make to improve quality, and it can't be that expensive with all of the money they make on parking and concessions . Pros are of course that it is a big venue that gets decent shows and service from concession staff has always been friendly, even during packed shows.

For reference, it's across the street from 11-worth Cafe (because all Yelpers know where that is!). Mark, the owner of Emmet's, has made some major changes to the place already and there are big plans for this place to make it your next new hangout. Plentiful tables in this wide open place. It's much bigger inside than what it looks from the outside. A roller door is along the front to let fresh air in on a nice day/night. A billiards table is here along with a couple of dart boards for those cricket fans out there. Another room behind the bar has shuffleboard. Cool, huh? Great staff here and a decent selection of your favorite brew and a good selection of distilled spirits. The bar, where the bartender stands, is good sized while flat screen TVs adorn the walls above said bar. Sure you have the old school beers (Old Style, PBR) but also some of the more classy ones (Lagunitas IPA and others). This place will become popular; it just has that vibe to it already! I'll be back again soon.

Josephine's is one of those bars that I driven past many times in my life but never stepped inside…read moreof. I corrected that recently when I dropped by on a Friday night. The place is interesting and its not entirely clear where the entrance is. Once you find it alongside 22nd St, you go into an entryway and then down a few stairs, passed a trophy case and into the basement bar. It definitely has the feel of being someone's basement because it is. Above the bar sits a house. The place is old and you can tell once you enter it but it's still kind of cool with its dim setting, christmas lights, creepy doll heads and pool table. The wallpaper across from the bar was like an 1890's Parisian style. The tap beer selection was limited to two options from what I could tell. One was Budweiser or something similar and the other was Boulevard Wheat. They also had a full bar so I imagine the bartender, Frank, can make just about whatever you wanted. Speaking about Frank, he's one of the friendliest bartenders I've ever encountered. I learned that he's been there 40 years. I suspect this place used to be a lot busier but on this evening, we were the only one's for a while. Maybe the closure of Malara's across the street hurt their business as I'm sure the prevalance of new bars downtown and midtown. I really hope this place can return to its former glory because its such a unique place in Omaha. In some ways it reminds of Homy Inn. Definitely pay it a visit and have a chat with Frank.
