The Admiral

What Plays There

The Admiral opened in 2022 as what 1% Productions calls a state-of-the-art live music, concerts, and events venue. The building used to house Sokol Hall and Sokol Underground, in 1% Productions' words, and Sokol Omaha still calls it the former Sokol Auditorium. Listings on the venue's own site show touring concerts, presented under names like "1% Productions Presents" and "Mammoth Presents," running alongside variety events. Every listing also carries an age label, all ages, 18+, or 21+, so check that before you buy. For what's booked, go straight to the calendar at admiralomaha.com.

Tickets and Box Office

Most show pages on admiralomaha.com link out to Etix through a "Buy Tickets" button, and that's where you'll actually complete the purchase. A few, such as an oddities-and-art expo, send that button to the organizer's own site instead. Prices change by show, and so does the format: many listings split ADV (advance), DOS (day of show), and premium balcony prices, while others just say "Starting at" or give one flat price. Etix uses all-in pricing, so the total it shows includes ticket fees and taxes and runs above the price on the venue's listing.

Refunds? Etix's Purchase Policy covers them: no refunds or exchanges once an event has taken place, and if a show is canceled or postponed, the venue or promoter decides whether refunds are available. Box office hours and will-call details aren't published.

Seating and Capacity

The Admiral doesn't publish its capacity. What you can count on is the ticket-type structure Etix uses for shows here: general admission, premium balcony, and ADA, sometimes alongside VIP packages. Which of those are actually available, and whether the floor is standing or seated, depends on the show, so check the Etix listing before you buy. The ADA ticket type is the only accessibility information published; the venue doesn't describe physical access such as ramps, elevators, or restrooms.

Getting There and Parking

The Admiral is at 2234 South 13th Street, Omaha, NE 68108, in the Little Bohemia neighborhood. It's the building at 13th and Martha that Sokol Omaha calls the former Sokol Auditorium. Parking? Not published, so give yourself extra time to find a spot.

Venue Policies

Age Restrictions

Age limits are set per show, not venue-wide: listings are labeled all ages, 18+, or 21+. Confirm the label on your specific show before you buy, especially if you're bringing anyone under 21.

Bags and Re-Entry

Bag policy, prohibited items, and re-entry rules aren't published anywhere. If one of them matters for your night, plan conservatively: travel light and assume no re-entry.

Food, Drinks, and Where to Eat Nearby

The Admiral's own site doesn't say whether there's a bar or concessions, though at least one Etix VIP package has included a "cash bar, prior to doors opening to the public". For a meal before or after, these spots are nearby:

• Beercade 2, 1423 South 13th Street: an arcade bar up 13th Street with 30 rotating craft beers and a full bar, open 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 2 a.m. on weekends. It doesn't serve food, but you're encouraged to bring your own local takeout, and it goes strictly 21+ after 7 p.m.
• Cascio's Steakhouse, 1620 South 10th Street: an Italian steakhouse serving lunch Wednesday through Friday and dinner Wednesday through Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday.
• Fizzy's Fountain and Liquors: a soda fountain for grown-ups serving "boozy treats and fine eats late into the nite" Wednesday through Sunday, from 5 p.m. until close. It's 21+ at all times, and its site lists no street address, so look it up before you go.

Our pick: Fizzy's Fountain and Liquors. It serves food and cocktails "late into the nite," opening at 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday, so it works before doors or after the encore. Just note it's 21+ at all times; with kids in tow, Beercade 2 welcomes families before 7 p.m.

Tips for a First Visit

Buy through the "Buy Tickets" link on the show's own listing page, and check the age label, all ages, 18+, or 21+, before you commit. The address is 2234 South 13th Street, in Little Bohemia.

Get your ticket sorted early, and the rest of the night at The Admiral takes care of itself. New Admiral shows land in the Wednesday email first, and you can always check what's already on sale on admiralomaha.com's own calendar.
