Slowdown

One of the best venues in the nation, cool second balcony area for bigger shows, lots of drink options including cheap tall boys.

Arcade games in the back!

This was a great venue during the College World Series to grab a drink and enjoy some live music.  The outside bars were a college party atmosphere with the inside bar having craft beer options and lots of TVs to watch the games going on across the street at TD Ameritrade!  

I highly enjoyed my time at the Slowdown while in town and would recommend it to others looking for a less packed experience than some of the other beer tents in the area around the stadium!

I drove to Omaha to see Mogwai play here.  The show and sight lines were rad.  Booming sound, and with Mogwai especially, I needed earplugs (~50 cents).  Canned beers are super duper cheap; tallboys of High Life or PBR were only a few bucks.  It's also nice that they have a bunch of board games with which to kill some time if necessary.  
The venue is small but it has a solid intimacy factor so you really feel like it's an exclusive gig.  The one thing I hated was the small bathrooms, which become a huge hassle if you're drinking cheap domestic swill.  They should have put in a second set of bathrooms somewhere.  However, great venue in what I was told used to be a dangerous, seedy side of downtown.  I didn't notice anything shady about it, but this place certainly helps, in any event!
