This is a good sized location for large events that lacks only in parking availability. The main floor has a good stagehand a mezzanine level with seats. It has a sizable additional space, stage left, that would easily fit a reception all on it's own.The events there are fun, the bands are varied and I often find acts I want to see, and it's not as expensive as other venues of its size.It isn't fancy. It's more where I go for music performances and/or events. Been to several and am certain I'll attend more!

Had a great time seeing Highly Suspect and Slothrust. Both were amazing! The auditorium is reminiscent of a high school dance feel with alcohol. The small intimate venue is a great place to see a favorite band a good view from about anywhere and the acoustics are great. Staff was all good.

Sokol Auditorium is a dump not an auditorium. There is nowhere to park. There is no fixed seating. They do not have food. Their selection of drink is weak. $6.00 for a beer in a place like this is pricey. I've never been here before so perhaps I expected to much. I left after of the first song. Extremely disappointed.

I've been to many a concert here at the Sokol, from Limp Bizcuit and Static-X to Hed PE and Shinedown, I've seen them all.The main reason that I really like this place is the intimacy of the venue. No matter where you are when watching a live show, you are SO close to the band. It is awesome.I don't buy beer at shows so I can't speak for the price of quality of the refreshments, but every time I go a lot of people are in the refreshments line, but not sure if that is an indicator of anything.Overall, I will continue to go to the Sokol when there is a show that I want to see.

Awesome iconic music venue in the heart of Little Bohemia of Omaha, NE on 13th street just as you're approaching downtown. Don't credit Athens, GA and Austin, TX with all of the musical history, talent, and venues - Omaha does and has done a hell of a job. Hats off to Sokol Hall for their contributions Call it a "dump" if you like, I've been frequenting since the late 90's and this venue is the epitome of cool. I used to live walking distance so I went to a slew of shows there. It was my Riot Grrrl, punk go to. Several of my local musician friends still love the place. I just visited Sokol three weeks ago and it's endearing as ever - aching for music goers. Haters can suck it and watch shows online at YouTube where you belong - leave the cool shit for us.If you're bored - dive through some archived set lists ... https://www.setlist.fm/venue/sokol-auditorium-omaha-ne-usa-5bd61f54.htmlI've got some flyers and stubs I need to upload come to think of it ...

I used to enjoy coming to Sokol Auditorium for events and concerts. Heck, in my younger years, I was here at least once a weekend, sometimes more! Unfortunately, as of lately, the quality of customer care/service has diminished. During my last visit, I watched a man, who said he was the owner, yell in the faces of two young females for their choice of purses - tiny backpacks. As of today, there is nothing on their website/facebook about not allowing them.We found it odd that they would make such a big deal about the bags, when a cloud of weed smoke billows out of the doors every time they open, but that might just be me...

The Shiznit!If you want a unique venue, you got it. Try it out. Everything from dubstep to popular folk, this place will surprise you. Make sure and get to the show on time because parking can be tricky in some shady neighborhoods but don't be discouraged. Uber is always running! We saw Cold War Kids and then Excision on different nights of course but they both were good in the small theatre-like setting. The base from Excision was insane! Looking for our next big show already!

Came to see spoon at Sokol . They never disappoint. I had seen Bayside close to 10 years ago here. We enjoyed the concert and venue was easy to get around parking is limited so we parked a couple blocks away. Sound level was good were ever you are in the building. Would recommend seeing a concert here. The seem to bring a good mix of artists and bands in.

College life would not be complete without Sokol. Oh the memories of nights spent with friends and concerts. Tickets are relatively cheap too. General admission so of course, everyone wants to be front and center in this small place. But I appreciate small venues like this because you feel like the band is playing just for you and you have better luck taking home a souvenir guitar pick or a drumstick...and in some cases, a band members' bottled water. Woohoo!Local bands, up and coming bands, bands that are semi-mainstream...they play here. I remember when I was so into Dashboard Confessional (Chris Carrabba woooooo!!!), Taking Back Sunday, Further Seems Forever, etc. I've seen Death Cab for Cutie, Jack's Mannequin, Something Corporate and Mae perform here.Good times!

The new ownership did a much-needed remodel on the place (it was closed for a year) and it's great. no more horribly squeaky floors and The Worst Staircase in Nebraska (kind of like the BR in Trainspotting). can't wait to go back there and see another show.
