    Excellent venue in Bristol ... I have seen many artists play here over the years .... The overdue refit has certainly changed the building into a very impressive modern experience!

    I had an absolutely amazing time. My review may be biased because of who we went to see, but the venue was excellent. Large floor infront of stage, lots of seating elevated around the back and sides. Ticket scanning was quick and easy. Bar downstairs with the most disappointing beer I have ever tried. But I didn't go for the beer, I went for the show and this place delivered.

    Great venue, a proper old theatre with excellent all-round visibility and a great atmosphere. Access was well managed - good signage and none of the usual squash and squeeze on the way in or out. The toilet facilities were unisex - very slow and not helped by 1 of 5 cubicles and the disabled toilet being out of action. A mature audience for some classic rock, so very chilled.

    Awesome venue for a fantastic gig (Dutty Moonshine) Really enjoyed ourselves and drove for 6 hours to be there! The only downside was an awful, jobs worth security guard who shouted at us for dancing beside our seats!! How dare we enjoy ourselves, a few feet from our seats, at a gig we paid to go to!! I wouldn't have minded if he'd been nice but he swore at me more than once and was just so unbelievably rude. Would have been 5 stars if it wasn't for him... Was almost 3 but Dutty were just so good 😂
