Good location near Lime St station. Views are good on the whole in the main venue as the stage is raised. Be warned though that the venue gets ridiculously hot and queues for a drink are always long. Toilets are located on the ground floor, so you've got three flights of stairs to ascend/descend for a comfort break. Exit stairwell is narrow, so it takes a while to get out after the gig has finished.
Excellent night watching OW supported by Aquillo. Was mixed incredibly well on their house system. For those curious, house system is Coda. Not sure on the box specifics but seems to be 6 a side plus about 7 dual 18s. Fills the room nicely, not too harsh with plenty of scope for a nice even sound. Impressed for a box I’ve not heard of!
Wishbone Ash concert was great and the audio quality of the venue was too. I wish there was inclined floor so everyone could enjoy the gig because with a flat floor only the tall guys can.
Very pleasant venue. Friendly staff, good acoustics and did not feel suffocating even though the show was sold out. Drinks pricey but this is expected, so you just have to drink a bit more prior to the show : easy.
Haven't been to the 02 for a long time but was reminded what a great venue it is. The door staff are efficient and courteous, you don't feel like an inconvenience like at some venues. There's a cloak room but at £4 per item not for the thrifty and good site for a merch store downstairs. The main room is however up two flights of steep stairs and not sure how accessible it would be for some. There's 3 bars in the main room so it's easy to get a drink. Prices are steep, £6+ for a pint but that's just the norm at a big venue these days. Sound is great at the side of the room or in the centre. Great venue all round.
Just been to see Roger Taylor. Astounding musicianship. Venue has a brilliant vibe. I thought the audience was going to be gentile but an over excited gentleman was somewhat enthusiastic and my evening ended with a rather sad repetition of “I’m 56 but I could still have you. Outside now.” Obviously I declined but this gentleman seemed insistent. Gladly in the light of the street he seemed to wobble his bottom lip. Nobody needs that kind of behaviour from such a stately gentleman. It didn’t distract from a lovely evening. He was 56.
Had an amazing experience. Saw Gong as a birthday present. The queue to get in was long but not arduous but we missed the opening introduction. So if going expect delays and go early. Small but really good sound. Especially at the back of the narrow hall like room. Bar was quick and efficient. Would certainly recommend.
Great venue for gigs located very close to lime Street train station . There are quite a few stairs to climb tho
Great smaller venue,very sweaty when full, £6.35 for a can or pint of San Miguel is a rip off.Possibly the slowest bar in the world, but still a great venue for music. Organisation for heaven 17 wasn't great
Saw The Sugababes last Monday... aside from friendly staff... the venue itself was not disabled friendly. It was filthy. Chewing gum stuck to the walls. No air conditioning. The room was ubearably hot. Ruined the show for us. Two days later, we fell ill... now very ill with covid for the first time. If this place was better ventilated, cleaner and less of a breeding ground for germs I doubt we would be so sick... won't ever visit the place again.
