The 2015 Great Nebraska Beerfest might have just been my favorite local suds festival to date. Not…read moreonly did I finally get to check out Werner Park (great minor league baseball stadium), I was able to reconnect with some old friends, say hi to some new family and just have an all around enjoyable day sampling beers from across the country. My favorite area was the tent that housed breweries from Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri. It was great to talk to reps from nearby cities and plan my next weekend trip around stopping by their venues. Also, and I'm not sure if this is just the current trend, but Great Nebraska Beerfest saw more than it's fair share of sour beers -- something that'd been difficult to find at other local festivals. From Boulevard to Lucky Bucket to C.I.B. and many, many more, sours were in full effect at GNB. Big props for Nebraska Brewing Company for putting on such a top notch festival. Can't wait till next year!

This was a fun event. I loved all the different breweries from all over. I would have liked a…read morelittle bit more cider there. I just started liking craft beer when I moved here, so I went to the only cider stand and drank a lot of their product! I liked the booklet of all the breweries and sponsors, and the little tourist phamplet of things to do in that area. Overall, it was a nice event.

It was a perfect weather day for this event! Lots of vendors and food trucks. It was crowded but…read morenot over crowded. All of the vendors were super helpful in explaining their products. It was a good opportunity to try things I wouldn't normally order or purchase. Definitely have some new ones I like! I'm not sure I had a favorite but all of them were enjoyable. One vendor had a cheese spread handed down from her mother that was really good! I wish I remembered their name but their product is sold in some HyVee's and I plan to pick some up today! The goat yoga looked fun although I didn't participate in that. They had some live music which was nice too. Didn't even take pictures as my hands were always full and I was having fun! Thanks Meg for getting Yelp included in this event! Fun time!

Ploughshare Brewing out of Lincoln took home the cup this year, with a Red IPA made in part with Nebraska Grown Hops (as were all the entries). Scriptown's ale was always very interesting, as it was made entirely of local hops and barley. Almost tasted like champagne! Great event supporting local hops farmers and the greater beer community at large.

Getting in was easy due to having a digital ticket on my handy phone. In a similar set up to last year, NBC was the first table to wet my palate. A very earthy Yakima based multi grain brew. Many established breweries did not show. No Kinkaider, Brickway, or Bolo. A few surprises did get mu attention. Namely Boiler from Lincoln and First State. The usual suspects of IPA were abundant, but I really liked the Rye PA. Even the Black Pilsner from Scratchtown that took the cup. I ran into many Yelpers this year, so a shout out to them. See you at the next one.

There has been a single large tent for shade, although last summer there were 2 and it really helped. It can be HOT, but of course, there is then a need to drink a little more beer. Beer! I remember 2 vendors, plus the indoor bars are also open and 2 years ago we went in for some food and out of the weather. It is difficult to say how many types of beer is available as they change. Insides have numerous varieties. I bought a stein and you are welcome to bring it back each year, of course, you have to remember it, mine was on the kitchen counter at home. Music polka, of course. Two different bands played with an hours intermission with the takedown and set up as the change. Yes, it can be loud. Lots of laughing and dancing, some singing if you know the words is strongly encouraged. COST? There was no cost to enter with food and drinks paid for with tickets sold as you enter. The emphasis is on having a good time. With us, it has succeeded. Caution....WATCH THE WEATHER. the sun can be hot, the wind will blow and storms are always a possiblity.

This place is something else. I've been here twice now. Each…read moretime, my experience was phenomenal and memorable. Not because of the shows per se, but because of the community this place has created. The employees who make it all happen. I'll talk specifically about tonight. Went to a show, and had an issue with my ticket. This issue was an issue I created by making a mistake when the tickets were transferred, but Steelhouse employees were so quick and helpful. They took something that could have ruined a whole evening, and they resolved it within minutes. That alone was impressive and very kind especially since the mistake was not on their end. I was greeted by familiar faces, some who seemed to even remember me back. My next experience was specifically upstairs in the balcony. I'm currently expecting and needed to sit down and rest for a bit due to some complications I've been having. The employees checked on me regularly and went way above and beyond to make sure I was well cared for. I'm not special, they did this to everyone there. I saw paramedics with a gentleman, and shortly after, an employee took the rest of his evening to sit next to this ill person and assist them until I can only assume their ride arrived safely. The janitors were kind, and picked up very quickly after people's accidents left and right. Their work does not go unappreciated by people like me, who could've slipped and fallen on the spilled drinks along the way to and from the GA floor. Even the elevator greeters genuinely seemed excited for you to experience all this place had to offer. The cops that nod your way as you exit the venue are kind as well. This place doesn't appear to be an establishment of employees, but a community built upon responsibility and caring for one another - what a venue should be. I will be back, and I cannot wait to greet the faces of those who work so hard to make simple concerts so so special and memorable in ways that you just don't find just anywhere.

This is a modern and beautiful venue. We saw Nate Jackson on 02/21/26. There was zero line to get…read morein and plenty of security to get people inside quickly and just as many ticket scanners. The service is too notch and plenty of ushers do walk you directly to your seats. There are at least four bars from what I saw (one in main hallway and three in the seating/stage area). There were plenty of bartenders as well. They have a coat check in and there's plenty of space to stand around before the show starts. My only complaint is the seats are small foldable chairs and connected to each other so you can't move them at all and you can be touching elbows or bottoms depending on the size of people

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I've been here numerous times and I am just not a fan at all of…read morethe design of this venue. It seems horribly laid out, almost every time I go, we go the wrong direction to our seats because signs don't direct you properly and are confusing, even venue staff seem confused at how to direct you to your seats. This results in a lot of backtracking as the venue is huge. Most seats are nice but the very upper bowl is very steep, terrifying and never a desirable spot to be in. More recently, I've gone to Disney on ICE and have become even more unimpressed that they have zero diaper changing tables--it's just a hard counter out in the open. One time I even walked to the family bathroom, still a counter. I understand that most shows/events here aren't exactly for small children but to not even have that accessibility is wrong (and then expect people to bring in clear bags so your child doesn't have a cover/cushion at all to change them on). Seems like this would be a minor adjustment the venue could make to improve quality, and it can't be that expensive with all of the money they make on parking and concessions . Pros are of course that it is a big venue that gets decent shows and service from concession staff has always been friendly, even during packed shows.

Driving up, staff are very helpful in directing you where to park for the movie that you choose. They have two screens and I believe loud enough speakers that you won't need to bring anything. The concession stand has a lot of sweet and savory options at very affordable prices. The concession stand is also cafeteria style. It's just an overall high vibe place. So many nostalgia pieces to make you feel like you are in an old school drive in is a nice touch. Plenty of games to play as you wait for your movie to start also.

Hopefully that money goes to pay the entertainment! Still, Stinson Park is a great spot for Pride here in Omaha. Cheers to a bigger/better event in 2018!
