I went to this venue a couple weeks ago for a Doors Tribute concert and it was amazing.The doors opened at 7pm with the show starting at 8pm so I naturally show up at like 7:45pm to avoid the crowd and there was still a HUGE line of people waiting to get in; and it moved so slow! I don't know why they don't have more than one person scanning tickets, (maybe because of space?) I expect a line when the doors open but not with 15 minutes before the show starting.The venue is awesome. Smaller and intimate with plenty of places to stand to see the whole stage.The band was absolutely amazing. The lead singer sounded like Jim Morrison incarnate. Grade A show!I am stoked to go to this venue again in the near future!

We came to Omaha to catch a band we follow but had never been to this venue before. We were so excited that it wasn't huge so we had a great view of the stage without having to line up before doors open. We showed up about 20 minutes before the opening band started. Looks like they had balcony and other reserved seating available for folks who want to make sure they can sit, but I don't think the view was any better from those spots. Sound was good, although there were some instances of feedback throughout the show. We also liked the location because we were able to find beer and food right around this area and were walking distance from our hotel.

Super neat venue downtown. I've been for concerts, events, and new years eve. I love this multi level venue. There is ample space for viewing or enjoying the night. The bar is huge and service has been consistently fast. Love the parking situation, with a small lot in the back and lots of street parking in front.They bring in great acts and it's a great place for community building.

We were downtown having dinner and heard the loud and funky baselines penetrating throughout downtown Omaha. We HAD to go in and see what was going on in there. We literally walked into a party! Great band, great sound, good drinks and atmosphere!

The Slowdown is easily one of my favorite venues in Omaha and venues I have ever been to. I love how they bring in lots of alternative indie artists/bands that I love who are more underground and that this venue is more intimate. I find that smaller venues are my favorite because of the amazing experiences I've had. For example, I got to be front and center to see James Bay perform "Hold Back the River". I even got one of his guitar picks at the very end of the show! There is also very fast service at the bar. Lots of times, the artists that I see will hangout here after the show so you can actually hangout with them. This venue also has Science Café events which allows the public to learn more about various topics of science! I love that this place brings together the community and brings in artists from around the world! One of my favorite artists Julia Jacklin came to Nebraska for the first time to play here when she is from Australia. I love how this place brings people together to enjoy music, science, and many other things to help connect people! Also, tickets are much more affordable here than at other bigger concert venues which I really appreciate.

A great music venue to enjoy with friends. Attentive bar service and plenty of space to dance, enjoy drinks or sit back and enjoy the show! "Yesterday and Today" is a must see in Dec each year.

One of the best venues in Omaha! They get very popular touring artists, big and small. The building is very modern and has a great atmosphere for a great concert! Staff is always nice and accommodating for concert goers, I like how they have special water dispensers for concert goers to keep hydrated. Parking is a bit of a challenge if you're a late arriver! Plenty of parking in the back and in the front street but if the show is big and sold out, good luck!

This is for the amazing, socially distanced concert series that Slowdown hosted this past summer. There were pods you could sit in with your friends and family that were well thought out.An outside beverage stand offered local beers that were ice cold and efficient. There was also a stand to purchase some quality Slowdown tees and sweatshirts.Each pod was individually numbered. Why you ask? Well, you could place an order online for some wonderful food from Hook and Lime or a quality libation from the Trap Room. A friendly server would then locate your pod for quick delivery.This goes to show that Slowdown ROCKS in more ways than one!!

An absolute sh*tshow of a venue. i bought tickets for an all ages concert and on their website they state no information about the need of an ID at the venue is required to enter. the moment we enter for a concert, they require an id which my group dosent have and didn't bring. absolute horrible place with zero tolerance or care about their customers and hosts.

Great venue to hear local and traveling bands. The sound equipment and sound technicians really are amazing and showcase the bands wonderfully.
