Venues

The Admiral

Formerly Sokol Hall and Sokol Underground*, The Admiral opened in 2022 as a state-of-the-art live music, concerts, and events venue.

*Sokol hosted some of the best music shows in Omaha. Although it was located under the famed Sokol Auditorium, Sokol Underground had a charm of its own and stood proud on its own merits. The 1% team will continue to support and promote all genres of music on our stages.

The Waiting Room Lounge

The Waiting Room Lounge is one of the premiere live music venues in the Midwest. 1% Productions originally opened it in 2007, but then drastically remodeled and upgraded two years later. The Waiting Room Lounge now boasts a comfortable and open viewing experience along with excellent and up-to-date sound and lighting enjoyed by both the performers and the fans. The venue anchors the downtown Benson area of Omaha Nebraska, an area that has become a hub for live music and many facets of the arts. The Waiting Room opened when many empty store-fronts lined Maple Street. It saw a vision for what the area could become and invested in the neighborhood that now has almost full occupancy with many restaurants, drinking establishments, galleries, and vintage retail.

Bourbon Theatre

Box Awesome’s Bourbon Theatre is an extension of a vision that began when the Moore family opened Box Awesome in the historic Haymarket in the summer of 2007. With this new venture, Lincoln will benefit from what L. Kent Wolgamott from the Journal Star described as “already the most impressive club in town.”

With a capacity of 750 for a full house show, 400 for a half house, or 150 in the front room, the Bourbon will be able to host bands that have outgrown the intimate confines of Box Awesome. When shows aren’t on the daily calendar patrons can still take advantage of our vast selection of bourbons across a wide range of qualities. With intentions of making the Bourbon Theatre a mutli-use theatre that hosts music, movies, comedy and beyond, we’re excited to begin a new chapter in Lincoln’s musical history.

Slowdown is a multi-use venue in North Downtown Omaha with a primary focus on live music. Opened in June of 2007, the building also houses the Saddle Creek Records offices and warehouse. The venue can easily be switched from a mid-size intimate venue (Slowdown Front Room) to a larger music hall complete with a viewing balcony. The venue was designed with both the musician and music fan in mind with modern top-of-the-line sound and lighting, open sight lines, easy load-in, and musician amenities. The fluidity of the venue allows for it to be used for much more than entertainment. Conferences, political debates, weddings, pub quizzes, meetings, and parties have all happened at Slowdown.
