They targeted our group of college students and parents. The security guard "hawked" them for the short time we were there and would run after them when they went to the bathroom.

What a fun place! I…read morecame to Bodega's Alley for the Nebraska Funk & Soul Alliance Benefit/Concert to see Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal. This was my first time at Bodega's, which I would describe as a bar/small music venue that is laid out in shotgun fashion (long and somewhat skinny from entrance to the back of the building).I was a little worried I was going to feel claustrophobic once people started pouring in for the show. However, there seemed to be plenty of personal space and seating options despite a pretty packed house. There are a few bar stools and very roomy booths, but there is also a lot of standing room. I believe there is also a backroom with some pool tables (I was a little drunk at the point I made it back there...so it is hard to remember) and the bathrooms. So if you want to get out of the crowd, you have a spot to go. I did not see if they had a back patio or outdoor space (I'll update if I find out). The stage is pretty small and located next to the entrance. The sound and lighting were pretty solid (though it was somewhat to hear Josh Hoyer talking at times). The beer options were decent in quality and price. This is not a fancy bar by any means, but I could totally see myself regularly coming here just to hang out and to catch a show. It's a nice local bar that has a lot of interesting shows. I think I f you like Zoo Bar, you'd like Bodega's Alley. They are great complements to each other, and make it easy and fun to go bar or show hopping.

I was having a legitimately good time until the owner decided to become the attraction…read more The drinks were flowing, the crowd was having fun, and then this dude swooped in like a WWE heel who had just discovered management authority for the first time. Some owners elevate a business. Others stay out of the way and let the staff shine. This guy somehow found a third option: actively making the place worse. Every interaction felt like he was trying to win an argument nobody was having. The energy shifted so fast I thought somebody had unplugged the karaoke machine and replaced it with a podcast about a fat farm. The craziest part? The bar didn't need him. The staff was doing fine. The customers were having fun. Then he arrived with all the subtlety of a monster truck driving through a farmers market. I've never seen someone work so hard to convince people not to come back. The drinks were decent. The crowd was cool. The owner was the reason this review exists.

Drinks were good and not too terribly priced, which is always a great thing. I always forget about parking in this area and it was a little difficult due to some construction that was going on but that's no fault of the venue. I appreciated the workers that were very quick to come around and pick up empty drinks. The place was very clean and a very good place to enjoy a show.

They have tons of beer on tap and mixed drinks on tap. They have surprisingly impressive liquor selection, I was surprised to see a couple amaros, Booker's, and other nice bourbons behind the bar. Reasonably priced tickets and drinks, and we didn't have to wait long in line to get in. The acoustics are good, and the tear down/set up between bands was smooth. It's a great venue to catch a show anytime!

It was freezing cold outside and there were a few of us huddled in the foyer waiting for doors to open. I witnessed this lady deny entry for an elderly gentleman to use the restroom, and instead she forced him to walk outside (in the freezing cold) elsewhere. I couldn't help but feel so unwelcome and disheartened to see the director of the theater treat the guests so cold and awful. I was disgusted and appalled that this woman runs the place. Very rude and disgusting behavior for guests attending the show as well, the lady sitting next to us was crying over how nasty this lady treated her too. If you attend this venue, be prepared to deal with an old vile woman that runs the place! Very disappointed because this was the first time I had attended a show here, will not be back as long as this lady is running the place!

For my main I got the grilled chicken Provençal. It had castelvetrano olives, capers, confit tomatoes with buttered gnocchi. Surprisingly, the olives worked really well with the flavor profile, because I thought it was gonna be overpowering, but it really wasn't at all. Overall it was good but maybe not worth getting again- I would want to try something else next time. My boyfriend got the black garlic honey salmon which looks super good and I wanna try it next time. The pork tenderloin also looked incredible. The vibes were very particular because the restaurant is in a country club. I Would want to sit outside next time - especially when the weather starts to get better and it'd be so nice to have a drink outside!

We had a great time seeing Weird Al here! It's a pretty large space; next time there is a show here…read moreI want to see, I will buy tickets when they first go on sale. Parking before the show was easy, lots of people to wave us in to the right spaces. Unfortunately most of those attendants were nowhere to be seen AFTER the show. And that was frustrating because it was really a huge cluster of cars. REALLY. Fortunately the parking is free. The Bowl is part of a park that is really nice, with a pond, beautiful trees, and an interesting display of huge old columns. So if you are there early you can wander around. The seats though. We were in the last row, and obviously the Bowl did not have quite enough of the regular chairs, so those of us in the way back were on these white folding chairs that definitely appeared narrower and less comfortable than the black chairs that all the other rows have. It was warm and we were REALLY close to each other. Food and drink is available. I believe the site says you can bring in an empty plastic water bottle. Though apparently it needs to be CLEAR and not opaque plastic and that is ridiculous. Thinking about it now I'm going to take off another star for that, since we were not allowed to bring our water bottle in and they were jerks about it honestly.

What a small and unique music venue…read more It doesn't look like much, but it produces five star events featuring some of entertainment's biggest names. Stage, sound and lights are world class. Whoever you come to see will look and sound good. Portable seats are brought in every show. They're semi small and they're packed close together. I've seen skinnier days, so I did my best to make myself small. Please beware if you're in a similar weight class. You may want to buy early, so you can find seats on an aisle. I couldn't find bathrooms. Somebody in another review said there were real bathrooms on site, so I guess if you know you know. Luckily there are a few porta potty farms with sinks. Lines formed, however they moved quickly and even though some of us may have had some adult beverages, everybody behaved themselves. I didn't see any food, but I did find some beverage stands. They seemed to be fully stocked with the normal beer and cocktail brands. Expect to pay inflated music venue prices. Parking is easy, but there are only a few ways into the venue, so it will take a while. Please give yourself plenty of time to travel.
