Islington Assembly Hall Reviews

Would have given 5 stars but does not have a lift to go upstairs to the gallery seats. Unsuitable to the disabled people.

Went to see the Turbans.
Lovely venue
Very clean toilets !

Easy star all stars dub side of the moon, 5 stars nuff said

Myles Kennedy was amazing whenni saw him here. The sound is great and the pa system is really good and not blown out.

Pretty good music venue! Sounds good, facilities are excellent!

Nice venue but we had to queue to get in as there was only one person checking tickets and they told us that we couldn't get out once we got in.

I'm in love with this place. Looks so great and fine. The sound it's very professional. Perfect.

I saw The Veils there and it was the perfect venue for a great band

Great venue especially when Arsenal FC parades the cups they win in football tournaments

Loved the Islington Assembly Hall when I went to see The Slow Readers Club supported by October Drift (both were amazing and bands to keep an eye one) The Hall created a great atmosphere, the high ceiling took away any claustrophobic feelings, good bar and wide stage with a good view from most directions.

A small venue in a nice historical building. Great for concerts.

Great venue for rock concerts and staff very friendly and helpful

Great venue, smaller than expected - which was good. Acoustics were better than at a lot of places I've been too recently.

Nice venue, easy to get to and find, friendly staff

The venue is good for small gigs and has a nice sound system. There is loads of decent pubs and restaurants nearby as well. I went on the 5th of September and the problem was that the place was extremely hot, I guess no air conditioner at all, and the drinks at the bar quickly sold out. Total lack of planning and respect for everyone there.

Great venue, and great view from the balcony even a few rows back you could see everything

Great place for rock and metal, good sound and stageshow, proffesional handling of queue/line and VIP/meet and greet before event.

Layout a little confusing but cheap cloak room, helpful staff, quick bar service inside the venue. Legendary night overall.

Ok venue. More for club nights than gigs. Spilled drinks make it hard to navigate

One of the many fantastic venues in Islington. Beautiful building with an intimate feel. Will hopefully be returning here for some gigs in the future.

Saw Frog leap metal covers band here. Good venue with high stage so you can easily see the band. Reasonably priced bar for the area.

Incredible venue, make sure you bring your ear buds and two of your top pallys

Sorry guys I hate to leave a bad review but the sound was so bad. I came here with friends and we couldn't understand a word. The sound was muffled and incoherent. Really bummed a great band, we left early x

Great venue. They posted details online on the day of what time the band would be on. Decent beer which was probably about 20% more expensive than local pubs

Fantastic small venue, clear views of bands at this intimate venue. Easy to get to.

No disabled facilities at the back entrance. Parking knightmare.

Came here for a Zelda escape game. Quite a large building and good for seeing live performances. There were lots of floors and viewing platforms which would be great if you were vising for a gig. There was a long queue to get in but I think that was the event organisers. The building itself is lovely but not much to report on really.

Really good music venue, stage is large and the sound is clear. The cloak room is a little hidden away but not much of a bother.

It is an amazing bar, lovely staff and i would highly reccomend

So much fun at this venue. Great sound, good beer and a solid stage setup. Definitely recommend going to a gig here

You can sit upstairs whilst watching a black metal band! Best of both worlds

One of the best friendliest music venues around. Great drinks too. Shame on you Brixton academy and all members of that group

Nice venue, but the sound was so quiet that you could hear people talking.

'I Haven't stopped dancing yet! ' what a fantastic event. FUN!FUN!FUN! & more fun! Brilliant evening.

Great music venue with easy to access bar. Not the best beer but as expected for this kind of venue.

Great venue , easy to get to , lots of places nearby to eat/drink , close to station.

Lovely venue and a great night. Too warm but that's the fault of the weather!

Oversized bar
Easy to rwach good security and very good looking hall

A really good venue. Have been both upstairs in the seated area and downstairs standing and both are good; I prefer upstairs for those acts that are a bit more mellow tho as it's unreserved you need to be early to get a decent seat.

Good sound, good view of stage. E tickets all work very well. Venue was too hot and air cooling was not switched on until after headliners came on stage.

Cute little theatre style venue with a balcony and plenty of character, all well kept, quirky toilets.

First visit, great little venue surrounded by lots of bars and restaurants.

A good music venue, where you don't need big screens to see the artists on stage!

Great music venue - although it's a bit of a struggle to get served at the bar on a busy night.

Great sound. Lovely IPA on tap. They make you wait forever in line for security, though.

The hall is medium sized. The sound was decent. Saw one of the concerts it was great.

Nice old venue..but could really do with some AC on the balcony!! #HOT

Saw the amazing Air Traffic here

Great band, great venue

Good small venue but acoustics aren't that great. Drinks are a bit outrageous.

I'd not been here before, although I've gone past it often enough. The building itself is very attractive, with some nice period features and appears to be in very good condition. What made it stands out for me was its size. It was small enough to afford a reasonable view, even from the back of the hall, which doesn't have any fixed seating, which gives an unusually intimate atmosphere. Acoustics were very good too. There are two bars at the back of the hall, one on either side. They offer a pretty good selection of drinks, considering it's a gig: a cider, a craft IPA and two lagers on tap, a selection of bottles & cans, wine and the usual spirits and soft drinks, and are reasonably priced too. All in all a nigh on perfect venue.

They do lots of good concerts in here but boy, when it's full it is difficult to breathe

Nice, smaller venue if you don't like being surrounded by thousands of people in larger ones. Old theatre style feel inside with balcony seating upstairs and seating downstairs. I booked a balcony seat being my first visit to the Assembly Hall and my usual preference. The only downside for me is that they do not allocate balcony seating so if you want to guarantee the best or better seats, you need to get there well ahead of time. I go to some gigs on my own and I'm sure if you left your seat to use the facilities during the performance, it may not be free when you returned! Good venue, facilities clean and would definitely go there again

Saw Fish at Islington Assembly in December '18. That's 4 times at this fantastic venue. If your favorite band is playing don't hesitate to go.

Been here several times, love the venue as it's the perfect size for a gig where it feels intimate and a good atmosphere.

Lovely building and great acoustics for a rock gig. Organised and clean with plenty of toilets too.

Great acoustics. Hope and anchor across the street. This is the "Delphic Oracle" for Londoners who love live music.
