Usher Hall Review

Magnificent and the performance we saw of Westside Story was out of this world.

This rubbish to get sercherd and not allowed a bottle of water that was not even opened to see all other people spoiling the show with alcohol drinking back and for word very annoying and their free water was disgusting I thought I was going to visit someone in prison the way 1 gets sercherd disappointed

It's a long way from the gods to the stage, but otherwise no issues

I was here at the Robert Cray Band concert, I must admit that this is a great place for a music event. Excellent visibility of every room in the room, good acoustics and good location. The only minus is the rather nervous service that every now and again pays attention not to take absolutely no pictures.

Lovely hall. Cold water station
Very nice venue

Saw Skipinnish live, what an experience. Incredible beautiful venue. Nice and friendly staff. Prices for drinks are okay.

Had a great time watching Tom Odell. Great venue for standing as the floor is sloped so everyone can see

Lovely venue, stunning building. Comfortable seats and friendly staff!

Great seating arrangements for viewing. Very reasonable prices. Has air conditioning which John Barrowman asked for it to be switched on when temperature was very hot in auditorium.

Really good seats and atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff. No issues getting in or out, really good experience all-round!

We have seen many performances here (mostly classical music) and it's a brilliant venue. The sound quality is excellent and the theatre is historically and architecturally beautiful.

My very picky complaints would be that I wish the ground floor bar area was larger and that there were additional toilets on the ground level. The circular stairwell is GORGEOUS though.

Our seats weren't great..at the interval the girl took us to a better seat ..nice service

Rhiannen Giddens was amazing. Purest voice I've ever heard..

Spectacular. Excellent acoustics and top-notch presentation

Beautiful interior and fantastic acoustics ,very good wheelchair access

Great gig venue. Soundsystem is outstanding, seen some superb bands here and they ve all sounded great. The door staff and security folk are all sound too. Bar s a little pricey but expected out of a gig venue.

Beautiful building, wonderful acoustics and friendly staff. Only downside is the lack of seat space on the top level. Some are simply torturous!

Superb concert hall. Good accustics and good veiws from all seats. Recommended

Very nice venue, great sound and everything close by.

We were in the upper circle which was very steep. Wooden seats were a bit uncomfortable after a while. Saying that, the view was great & it's a beautiful building

Fantastic Historical building with Great Accoustic,s

Beautiful building in the heart of Edinburgh just off Lothian Road,

Beautiful hall, roomy seats, wife claims expansive ladies room. Bar. Impressive organ. Good accessibility including restrooms.

relatively well organised venue
staff polite and friendly

Great building and small enough to get a great view and experience from where ever you sit or stand.

Fine concert hall in central Edinburgh. Great acoustics.

Nice setting with nice acoustics for the orchestra band that we went to see. Bar was busy during intermission but served people quite quickly. Not many toilets but they were generally quite clean.

It is excellent and I love it.

I went to a concert 3 weeks ago, Franky Sinatra. The hall is beautiful. The staff are very friendly. The seats were comfortable. I bought tickets 3 rows away from the stage. The seats were very comfortable. They offer beverages and snacks.

I realized I was overdressed when I arrived there, so keep it semi-casual. Unless you want to feel special or going on a fancy date. Overall, wonderful experience and a beautiful show.

It's been around a long time, acoustics are brilliant

great music venue , seating is really nice and acoustic totally rocks .

Dropped a wheelchair user off there. Couldn't have been easier. Wheeled straight through into the auditorium ground floor and the staff were excellent - friendly and helpful.

Great night but terrible bar service, waited at least 40 minutes to get served, nearly ruined the night! :(

A bit tired but good venue expensive drinks and snacks though

Beautiful architecture. Perfect for musical works of art.

An impressive venue sitting in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle. The Usher Hall is easy to get to by public transport as it is located a short walk from Princes Street, whether you get the bus, tram or train. I've only been in once and that was for the recent Papa Roach gig. I must say it's the fanciest place I've ever been to for a rock show!

Went to see Lighthouse family, toilets clean, bars well stocked, staff polite and welcoming. Only oops is the lights need a good clean.

Good layout. Facilities were clean. There's parking at NCP just about a 100 yards away. Central.

Brilliant venue for acoustic gigs. If you chose something amplified always reserve seats close to the sound desk at the back of the room,.

Attended a lunchtime organ recital here,with a knowledgeable audience and enjoyed it,but because it was early afternoon it was rather cold in the hall and most of the audience kept their coats on so it would have been more enjoyable if it was warmer,a very popular concert hall in an intriguing circular domed building right in centre of the city but no parking except in expensive private parking or luck if you can find on street parking but This too is not cheap in this city that does not like the motor car.

Just saw The Scottish Chamber Orchestra perform West Side Story here- totally amazing!

Always enjoy visiting this venue in Edinburgh. Good facilities and well placed for transport links.

Very poor sound quality at the Amy Macdonald Concert, not sure if it was just the venue or poor mixing, or a combination. Also possibly the wrong choice of venue for that type of music.

Brilliant venue, first time here, excellent view from our seated area, and very good acoustics.

Great venue, have seen some fantastic bands play there such as Flaming Lips, Super Furry Animals and Bootleg Beatles.

Great night watching Keiser Chiefs and Razorlight. Love seeing shows at this size of venue. Great night

Brilliant place, fantastic acoustics, highly recommended.

Been a few times. Good sound and pleasant surroundings
