Brokedown Palace
A laid-back bar near 88th and Maple in northwest Omaha with a small stage and couches in front of it. Local musicians know it for its long-running Tuesday open mic, which moves out to the patio in warm weather. A good pick for a casual night of local music.
Brokedown Palace is a bar near 88th and Maple streets in northwest Omaha. It is best known in the local music scene for a weekly open mic, which The Reader described in 2023 (updated 2025) as running Tuesdays at 8 p.m., with a mix of online sign-ups and walk-ins. Many local musicians recommended it to the paper's writer.
The room is relaxed, with couches set up in front of the stage, and the open mic moves out to the patio once the weather warms. The bar also placed in The Reader's 2021 readers' poll for live music.
It suits guests who want a low-key night out with local musicians rather than a big concert. Schedules change, so check the bar's social page to confirm the open mic or other shows before heading over.
