Many a great night at this venue, wether for music or comedy performances and now getting a great makeover bringing it up to date. Bars on most levels mean not to large a queue for getting beverages. Looking forward to visiting the new cellar space for live performances.

Good facilities, well managed only criticism is that the main hall interior is a little dated (but it is a listed building - which is weird considering the exterior is modern) and could do with a face lift - smelt a little musty, but the entertainment quality and value for money is outstanding - wou...

Went to see There's no such thing as a fish. Great show venue was nice too. Only thing was the stairs going in and out. Seems silly only having the one main staircase to funnel everyone down. Seats weren't all that comfortable really either.

Air conditioning is not fit for purpose. Seats are uncomfortable. Needs a refurbishment. Paul Chowdhry was great. Julian Deane was not to my taste (or funny) and detracted from the show.

Venue is big and spacious and has some great gigs on. The lantern room is more intimate for gigs and generally always had a decent time here!
Good for a cuppa and chill out too as there is space downstairs to hang out and have a coffee.

Good venue for anything but music. Specially if you like standing up and shaking your booty. The ushers want you to remain seated. Might work for a Jack Johnson concert but I certainly wouldn't want to see Optimo in there!

The Colston Hall is a beautiful venue where, as I lifelong Bristolian, I spent some of the best nights. This time it was Stewart Lee who was brilliant.

We visit Colston Hall at least once a month. Always have great shows, and usually reasonably priced too. Get yourself an annual membership, and you get first dibs on most tickets, and a discount on food and drink served on site.

Once the hall has had a refurb it should help with the accoustics. The seating could do to be more generous, especially for the taller or wider than average, and if you're carrying a little more weight, you'd be advised to bring some additional cushions to make the seating more comfortable. Hopeful...

Have seen quite a few performances at the Colston Hall. Bitterly disappointed that the plan is to change the name due to the link to the slave trade and Colston many many years ago. Perhaps the powers that be should remember all that Colston did for the city of Bristol and all for the good of the c...

Quite possibly the most uncomfortable concert hall i've evr been in (& there are a few..)
Would be fine as long as you are less than five feet tall, as the seats are crammed together, with VERY LITTLE leg room.
Other than that, accoustics are good, staff seem nice. Good local parking.
