Reverb Lounge

I've seen this place have major glow ups! Since the remodel of the place, they have knocked down the pointless wall that used to separate the bar area from the main stage! Looks 1000X better and more open! Staff is always awesome and accommodating! They get some great talent that comes though Omaha! Drinks are fairly priced and the bartenders are always cool! Parking can be difficult sometimes to find, but that's kindve the Benson areas flaw. The venue itself is in a old building and has a great ambiance inside that matches the old school Benson area!

Cool Benson establishment which carries more "lived in/grunge" Benson vibes rather than "brand spanking new trendy spot". Attached to the bar is a small but intimate music space where they have frequent $10 shows from a variety of smaller artists-local and beyond. This is your basic bar with cran vodkas and PBR, but they also pride themselves on a cool craft beer (many taps!) and cocktail menu too. The last drink I had there, a Oolong tea cocktail, was excellent. Unpretentious, casual, and versatile. Loud to sit in the bar area if you're just having a drink and not attending the concert in the next room over, BUT not every night is a show night.Lounge that fills a lot of shoes. Drinks for the crafties and the basic b's in your life, music for everyone, and you can feel comfortable dressed to impress or in ripped jeans and converses.

I came to Omaha specifically to see The Way Down Wanderers in concert at the Reverb since they were skipping KC this tour. What I hoped to be a great experience was magical. I was also turned on to a fantastic local act - Mr. E and The Stringless Kite. The Reverb Lounge I so tiny and intimate that it's like sitting in a friends basement with first class sound and lighting. There are only 3 tables and seating for 12, when the show started there were 31 people and it felt like we were all friends.The bar is outside the performance room, so the noise of a rowdy bar does not effect the show. The bar itself is simple and stylish with rock paraphernalia, exposed brick and wood and a great bartender the night I was there. Reverb, you are in my top 5 for concert venues! Well Done!

Small space; solid venue!! This place has great acoustics, great acts, great beer selection, great staff . . . Yeah it's great.As a pro tip, check Reverb's schedule frequently, cross reference with Spotify and decide whether to attend. Some of these acts are up and coming and the ticket prices are almost always quite inexpensive. An excellent selection of beverages including local beers and your el cheapo ones (Busch Light, Lite, etc). Reasonable prices on the beer and cocktails. Service is also good and they manage the bar crowd well.

I really liked this place. I went there for the first time last night. The bar is great very clean and the bartenders are pretty attentive. I wish there was even more seating and not so crowded by the main stage area but I understand the place has its limits. Also wish there was more bathroom stalls. All in all though I enjoyed my visit there the groups I heard were excellent.

$3.00 PBR's and Elizabeth Cook Live in a venue about the size of my garage... Perfect.The bar was nice, quiet, comfortable. I didn't eat, I just came for the music. The music venue was perfect... like your personal concert. This whole neighborhood is awesome. Multiple music venues, pubs, food, cigars/smoke shops... is that a vape shop over there?Come for the evening... there's plenty.

Reverb is not too fancy and I like that. Simple drinks/beer and a bartender that is friendly enough. I don't think there is much more to it. I have yet to catch music here, but did come in before RevHo and watched Squidbillies for a bit.Overall it is a good addition to the Benson scene.

There's a lot to love about Reverb Lounge, with it's shiny, new interior and dark and cozy vibe. There're over 20 beers on tap and a top notch selection of signature cocktails. Plenty of fine spirits to sip on as well. There's even a separate room for live music, but no cover is required if you'd prefer to just hang out at the bar.Speaking of music, Reverb Lounge very much acts like an extension of The Waiting Room, which is right around the corner. The two venues share an owner (One Percent Productions) and are even connected in the back. Reverb is perfect for concerts that'll bring out a few dozen people but are too small for a bigger venue like The Waiting Room. There are other smaller venues nearby as well, but none with the booking connections of One Percent Productions. So you expect to see some stellar shows here if you're into the concern scene.Back to the lounge itself. Reverb has a loose rock and roll theme (naturally). Stroll around and look at the vintage guitars hanging on the walls. Several of the taps even run through a retrofitted Fender amp. It's the type of place you can bet your ass the bartender will be playing great tunes in house. It's also the type of place you can duck in to, relax and avoid the madness of Benson at night. Unless there's a show. Then, well, grab a drink and enjoy the music.

This place has great music and bartenders. Just heard William Elliot Whitmore. Amazing songwriter and singer.

Let me preface this review by stating that this intimate venue was amazing I regards to the music and the show my friends and I attended last night. However, the bartender (Brandon?) was exceptually rude and down right MEAN to me. He was washing glasses behind the bar as I ordered a lemon drop shooter with Tito's and his response was "I don't use tito's for lemon drops". He used his bottom shelf lemon flavored vodka and served it to me without chilling it. It was terrible. An hour later I asked for just a plain chilled Tito drink and he snapped! He said "whats up with you and the f****g chilled Tito's? I have other people I could be serving and I don't have time for this s**t"! I was so dumbfounded and flabbergasted I couldn't speak so I just stood there feeling embarrassed. I told him I would leave him a tip for chilling my drink and he yelled "I don't care about your tip"! He continued to wash glasses behind the bar. No one was ordering drinks at the time so I was so confused. I went to the only other bartender and asked him for a drink and he made it for me and was very pleasant. I am in my mid 40's and go out maybe twice a year and This is my first yelp review I've ever posted which goes to show how much the customer service of this guy affected me. Maybe he is going through something personal in his life and I happened to be the person he decided to unleash on. Again, I loved the band and the three hours I spent there with my friends.
