Downtown
Downtown Lincoln's live-music spine runs along 14th Street and O Street, anchored by the Zoo Bar, a narrow nightspot that has been a staple for live music since 1973. Blues legends including Buddy Guy, Bo Diddley, Albert Collins, Robert Cray, and Otis Rush have all played there. The Zoo Bar also hosts the Jazzocracy, Lincoln's longest-running weekly jazz jam, open to musicians and listeners alike. The bar plays a role in local festivals including Lincoln Exposed and Lincoln Calling, and hosts its own ZooFest and Omaha Invades events. A few blocks away, the Bourbon Theatre operates inside a completely remodeled 1920 movie theatre and holds up to 750 for a full house, booking national and international touring acts across all styles. Artists like Gregory Allen Isakov have performed there, and it draws a wide variety of popular musicians from around the country. Duffy's Tavern has been a neighborhood fixture since 1936 and its stage has hosted acts including Nirvana, The Flaming Lips, 311, Bright Eyes, and Drive-By Truckers. Duffy's runs live music throughout the week, with regular shows on Wednesday and Sunday nights, plus live comedy on Mondays. Bodega's Alley, Sideshow Spirits Distillery and Showroom and the Rococo Theatre fill out one of the densest concentrations of rooms in the state.
