I love the intimate performances you get at this theater, and I recommend it to all my friends when they come to visit me or the people that ask me what I think is the best venue I have ever seen a band at in Lincoln

Probably the best sound system in Lincoln. Unfortunately, not bike friendly. They do not have a bag check and refuse to let you enter with a backpack, even if you let them check it. Not sure what a person on a bike is supposed to do with their gear. Let one of the homeless people who live around there steal it?

Most intimate venue Ive ever seen Ganja White Night in and I wasnt ready for how awesome this place was. Out of town from Fargo ND, will definitely be returning here for more shows.

Incredible place for a more intimate experience. You can get closer to the stage than a overly large venue, so the show is always great. They get a large variety of artists which caters to everyone!

I remember when this place was one of Lincolns premier movie theaters in the 60s. I saw the Beetles Yellow Submarine there.Its conversion to a concert venue seems to have worked well.The place was jumpin Tuesday night with Explosions in the Sky.I would guess that I was the oldest person (72) there, and the staff treated me respectfully and with some amount of humor.Thanks for being there for all the good music and the people who want to hear it.

Not a bad little venue. Sound was good and atmosphere kind and inviting. Not very many tables and the ones they have they sell. It would be nice to have seating for people that dont dance on the floor anymore. Even if I wanted to spend the $300 for a table they go very quickly and weeks before the event.

The Bourbon is my favorite place to see the bands up close and see new bands to fall in love with. Great staff too!

Old theatre converted to a concert venue. Not a bad seat in the house, but unless you get there early, you wont get one. There is a large main floor for standing. The drinks were decently priced. The acoustics are great! The staff was also friendly! I would go to more concerts here!

Bartenders always great. I did not know there was a back and bigger venue just around down the hall. Love the atmosphere. Weak drinks though.

Review №24

Had a great first ever visit this week to see a comedy act. I was a little worried based on other reviews, but the drinks were cheap, the air conditioning was on, and everyone had a seat. I will definitely frequent The Bourbon Theatre again.

Love the establishment. Been going for years. Couldnt ask for. Better venue. Could be a little more lax and hospitable but a great a place to see many mixed genre amazing shows all in all got a fair price as well. Many great times to be had at the bourbon no matter whats happening.

Some of the best staff in the industry, minus the handsy security.

Review №29

Great venue, plenty of room to move about freely, even when its a sold out show. Staff is amiable and conscientious, patient with all yet still marking territorial boundaries patrons need respect. Great sound system. If you have anything but an enjoyable experience, its Mea Culpa buddy.

Great location for this venue. Always clean inside and out. The staff is friendly and always helpful if the need ever arises.They get in tons of popular events and its located right in the heart of downtown close to plenty of places for drinks or food!The drinks are reasonably priced. The bartenders know how to make mixed drinks and they know what they do and dont have like the back if their hand! I always love it when shows I want to see come here, beats driving to Omaha!!!

Review №39

I enjoyed the show very much. Drink prices where a little high ok quality. The stool I sat on was flat and wobbly as well as the table but overall the main performance was really good the opening act didnt make sense but thats not really here nor there overall Id go back to see another performance in the future.

Review №42

The building is really cool, if you havent been here you should at least check it out. Huge variety of artist coming through. You can usually expect to pay a cover though, and the drinks can be pricey so not the best place to go regularly.They have a beer garden that is just a tiny fence around some tables outside the place. The crowds from all the bars gets pretty congested in that area so be careful on your smoke breaks.

Great place to see a show. Much better than larger venues. larger than a bar but smaller than an arena. Music is great and a staff is amazing

Great atmosphere but if youre going o over charge for a drink, could we at least put it in an actual glass? K thanks.

Great venue for live music. Big enough to be accommodating to large crowds and small enough to maintain an intimate feel with the performers.

Old movie theater converted into a concert hall. This place is great. National and local bands both come to play and its a great space for both. There is a small front stage in the main lobby area and a big main stage in the main room. Plenty of room to move area or just chill. Its a great place to go if you dont know what else to do.

The Bourbon Theatre is my family. Every concert that I attend they always make sure Im enjoying myself and sometimes they come out on the floor with me when they arent too busy. Theyre always very friendly and courteous and caring.

Review №65

Best place to see a show (live music) in Lincoln hands down. The Bourbon Theater is concert goer friendly. The staggered floor levels make it easy for the vertically deprived to see the band just fine when the 6 plus guys are in front of you! Lol (you know those guys that always seem to find an open spot directly in front of you) drinks are reasonable and staff are friendly. Ive been coming/going here for 15-20 yrs and have always had a great time.

Was here for a venue years ago and didnt think much of the place. Was there last week and loved it. AC works great for when you need to cool down during a show. Sound and lighting systems make for a great show.

What a fun place to grab a slice of pizza. My favorite has pesto sauce with provolone cheese, but theres a bunch of selections to try. This place has a fantastic selection of beers on tap, with some rotating seasonals. It can be a little loud, but always fun to check out.
