O2 Glasgow Reviews

Fantastic staff, hassle free bar and a belting venue. Rag n bone man was out of this world.

Intimidating toilet attendants expecting money for giving you a paper towel whilst uttering obscene "jokes"

#Gerrycinnamon had that place bouncing, staff were great as well

Overpriced drinks and hardly and becomes a sauna after half an hour of full capacity

Nice size. Need more toilets installed. Drink prices can be expensive

Class venue that'd I love to play one day

Seen pixies here and was amazing for sound, lighting and spacing

Bars everywhere too which is always good for it

Good for intimate gigs. Staff very helpful with people who have mobility issues. (Provided seating in standing concert). Limited bar, no soft drinks.

I don't remember much about the gig but I know I had a great night!

I Went To See Rita Ora At The O2 Academy In Glasgow And It Was Fantastic

The venue is really nice. The beer us awful as they use plastic cups.

I would like a real person to answer the phone my daughter is coming next week to see neck deep. As she is disabled need to make sure there is somewhere for her to be able to sit down. All I get is a machine

They didn't provide enough seats for disabled/older guests at a gig I went to last year, after shutting the entire seated area without warning.

I've tried to contact management about it but got no response - was really disappointed as my mum has had surgery and can't stand for long periods of time, so couldn't enjoy the gig we'd been looking forward to for months.

One of the better live music venues in Glasgow, especially since PA system was replaced in 2019.

Daughters saw 5SOS, all the way from jarrow, they loved it

Favorite venue in Glasgow. Except the drink is expensive as hell.

Sound was not too bad seeing a mostly acoustic band

I've been to a few gigs ther!space good sound decent&plenty of places to stand witever suits you only thing drink expensive overall good 9

Myself and my husband have mobility problems but there was no need for us to be nervous about where we would sit, as I sent the venue an email about our conditions and when we got to O2 Academy in Glasgow we were permitted to gain access to reserved seating area of our choice, staff are professional, Curtis and could not do enough to make our night enjoyable, 5* are minimal for help we got, I would give them 10* if I could, no brainer, we will use this venue again and recommend to family and friends

Its a tiny venue but still good vibe and would go back

Went to a few gigs here good place it can get busy very hot in it when the capacity is full, bar inside there is standing or seats upstairs

Amazing atmosphere in the place can't wait to go back and see another gig their .

My 1st time at the O2 academy to see ashtani for the first time and it was amazing xx

Great venue for live music but the bar prices are a bit expensive

Customer service was appealing, treated like a piece of sh**. VIP or not. Lost my coat number (that I paid for) and tried to claim I was a liar, don't think I'll be going there again. It was a troye sivan concert so maybe the staff were slight homophobic, it is Scotland after all

Never disappointed with this venue, safe and good accoustics...brill

Saw heels of hell here tonight, the venue and the show were amazing!

Seen queen tribute band the bohemians. Really good.

Excellent experience in participating the event of music night . Everybody enjoy a lot just love the overall programme

Ridiculous prices for low quality drinks. Good bands, but pre load on the bevvy.

Really liked this venue! Little stroll away from the city and not too cramped inside.. really had fun at this concert!

Absolutely Brilliant venue! Great parking in the park and ride down the road.

Been going here for 15+ years for gigs, always had a good night

First time at this venue which in its previous life was a cinema. My gig was The Travelling Wilburys Experience so myself and most of the audience required lots of seats!!! Interesting venue with a very period feel about it.

Staff were fantastic. Brian looked after all of us in the disabled section very well. He's a star employee.

Quite like the 02 Academy as a music venue - saw Snoop Dogg, Pharrell & Chicane here.

Plenty of bars, no big queues for drinks, plenty of toilets. Plus the staff are always very helpful.

We went to the academy for Dropkick Murphy's. We bought the tickets on O2 priority not realising we didn't have the opportunity doing this to purchase balcony. My partner has MS so standing for three hours can be a real problem as such. We got in touch with academy staff ahead of the show and they kept us a seat at the edge of the floor that was raised enough to see the stage perfectly. Staff could not have been more helpful with us. Honestly this is how all venues should be re disabilities. Couldn't praise them enough.

Chaos trying to get in and shambolic process of trying to find a seat.

Every gig I've been to here has been fantastic. Brilliant atmosphere, awesome venue. Chips do with better beer selection though.

Expensive drinks..sound level for a rock band were terribly low!

Gig was good. The bar was cash only. I didn't expect that these days. I had some cash, but saved that for the merchandise stall.

I personally find this venue a bit awkward to get to unless you drive. The venue itself is dated and in need of an upgrade with little or no seated area's and the toilets we're poor. On a plus the gig was excellent (king king) and the sound was great.

Looking really tired. Its also unacceptable having two or three ladies toilets on the ground floor in the main gig venue when there are hundreds of people there. Wish that there would be a little investment in this amazing venue.

Wheelchair client care for my son was good. He had a blast and after the show a lovely steward cleared the way through right to the road so he could get out of the crowds. Will definitely go back.

Small intimate venue, makes it a great atmosphere if you've got a brilliant band playing

Not the biggest venue I've been to, but good. Straight, easy entrance for those who want to be in the first row. From the outside it doesn't look very nice, but it's not really that important.

Great venue for a music gig, seen many great bands there, mostly country music

Terrific intimate gig atmosphere. Terrific acoustics.
I don't know if it's a house P. A. system but it was the best audio quality I have heard at any gig I've ever been at. My first was in 1970!
I'll be back for future gigs.

Great place for a venue. Sound quality is normally excellent and there are good vantage points for people of all sizes.

Amazing layout inside, fantastic security and event staff.

Great venue, helpful staff, good sound quality, reasonable prices, excellent service.

Good venue for music but the sound isn't the best it could be

Really good music venue always has different gigs on

Good to have a bar serving throughout the event and many people enjoyed this too judging by the amount of tumblers left on the floor. Stage not too high so the relationship between performer and audience was good.
Cleaners worked hard to keep the toilets clean and fresh throughout the show.
