Young Vic Reviews

Excellent facilities. Ambience good. Really good meal. Death of a Salesman play outstanding.

Went to see Fun Home. Great theatre, good atmosphere and friendly staff.

The Young Vic
Lost count of how many BRILLIANT performances I have enjoyed at this innovative theatre.
I admire this edgy venue for always taking risks quite recently I had one of the best theatre experiences of my 58 years as an enthusiastic theatre goer I average around twenty a year.
LIFE OF GALILEO Went so far off the scale the needle broke off! The layout had changed so much I was wondering if an entire new venue had been created.
I was in the round on an easy cushion and motivated by well this is different DIFFERENT? The cast were also with us amongst us three hours for very affordable prices and OMG the visuals in the round I got the maximum advantage the ceiling projections were WOW!
The Young Vic takes live theatre to a level I have never experienced previously Keep Taking Risks
If you read this review and wonder OK should I? 1000% YES Don t hesitate JFDI Just F**KING DO IT.

Short walk from Southwark Tube. Although the theatre, I guess, seats 1000+ it feels quite intimate. Nice stage layout. Good seating. Friendly atmosphere. Food and bar at venue. Alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Pleasant staff. Great play (Death of a Salesman). Through enjoyable evening. First time I've been.

I've only been to the restaurant and the food has always been really great and often there are unusual dishes to try. It's best at the quieter times of day and the balcony is a nice feature. I do find the drinks here pretty darn expensive though!

Great little theatre, some really good shows. If the show you want to see is sold out you can always queue for returns on the night (1 hour before), staff are nice and will try and squeeze you in if they can! Good Japanese restaurant across the road too.

Small and can get very crowed in the bar area. If you like this review, can you please click the like symbol below. Thank you!

Luve this place as ive seen so many plays here now of which have been Great .. plus im about to embark on bein in a performance there in jan 2017..woopy do daa day

Excellent theatre with good productions, often pioneering.

Beautiful venue for the theatre lover. You are close to the action.

A charming theatre with a vast ray of shows with some of the best actors/actresses out there. Well worth a visit to a show.

Went to the cafe for lunch with a colleague Always good service and pleasant efficient staff. Haven't been to see a play there for a while but their work is always interesting and often excellent.

The Young Vic is just a wonderful place, can't recall ever seeing a show I didn't enjoy there.

Food in the pub pretty good too.

Can get extremely busy but being overcrowded in the bar/restaurant add to the buildup of anticipation for whatever production is current. Been to some delightful plays at this theatre. Love the productions 'in the round'. Seating on benches can be a bit tight on occassion.

Friendly staf, nice food....but not a place to chill....very loud crowds so you cannot enjoy a chat with your friends.

Lovely bar & very cozy. Great for catching up with friends

I wen to The Inheritance play and was excellent; it is great that we have theatres like the Young Vic giving the opportunity to this outstanding and innovative plays.

The place is beautiful, and it has a lovely vibe. However, the tapas were terribly overpriced for what was given; although tasty, rations were quite small.

There was a nice selection of beers, cyder, and even more than one choice for non alcoholic beers.

The crowd was overall nice, which means no one was talking particularly loud, or being disrespectful.

It is close to Southwark station, so pretty well connected as well.

Have eaten here a few times and it's lovely. Breakfast was great: smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on sourdough were lovely, great coffee and nice apple juice. Friend had awesome pancakes. Service slightly slow considering it was quiet, but charming.

This place has a great environment for a drink. Its buzzy and diverse. The performance 'Jesus hopped the A train' was fantastic with exhilarating performances.

Excellent lunch in the cafe and quite reasonably priced. They a few decent craft beers on too.

Seating can be quite uncomfortable as rows are so close people need to get out to let others in. Apart from that it's a good venue with interesting and unusual productions.

Great performance of The Life of Galileo in the round, with audience members in the middle of the action. The projections and music were equally stunning.

Auditorium was great. Close up and personal to the actors. Very busy bar no quiet chat there, not sure if or when quiet times are at this bar. Staff available to locate you to your seat.

Lively venue. It offers a true sense of involvement with the performances.
I saw the death of a salesman and thoroughly enjoyed it. A truly unique way of telling the story. The singing was outstanding. The four main characters were played to perfection

I saw twelfth night there. The place is great. The staff is friendly and the cast was extremely nice. It was an incredible night

Great Venue for lunch or a drink after work.
Can get busy before a show obviously.

Always putting on fantastic shows, one of London's best.

Went recently to watch s children's show, how wonderful! I had already been to this theatre previously and I was curious to see how they would have changed the stage. I like that the stage is so versatile, literally a surprise at every visit!

Go for the theatre, go for the bar. It's a good size but gets packed quickly in the evenings, and feels like an exciting place to be. There's always an interesting or quirky show on by respectable companies and there's a lot of great pubs and bars around to carry on your evening for the post-show discussion! #DavidBowieis

Nice food and a really good feel to the place. Had lunch with work and dinner with family and both were decent.

A vibrant, lively theatre bar over two floors on The Cut in Waterloo.

Cute place! Love the shows they put on here! Go see Jesus hopped the 'A' train if you can!

Really excellent place. There were no bad seats, it was comfortable too. We went to see The Convert and it was a wonderful evening.

Great venue, and excellent play. It's the place to be if you enjoy theatre!!

I really like this theatre; nice bar with great drinks. The theatre has cushioned bench seating which makes it more sociable and the staff are exceptionally helpful

Saw 'Wings' Friday night, excellent performance from Juliet Stevenson on the wire and of course the rest of the cast great too.

the best london theatre venue! oh and it isn't a younger sister to the Old Vic like google states.

A fantastic and renowned theatre that specialises in modern adaptations and productions. I've yet to be let down by a play here.

Good venue, medium, pedestrian productions. Has always disappointed, but I keep going back. Blue/Orange recently was the latest in a dull series. Jane Horrocks' last show another, to name but two in 2016. *sigh*

Not been to the Theatre Space yet, but the Bar and restaurant are great. Food is good and the vibe is relaxed. The coming and going of the audience add to the overall ambience, but be warned, it can be busy - so be social and share your table.

Love this place! Busy, bustling, but friendly and welcoming also. Staff always on hand to help and the atmosphere is terrific!

The show this evening was great and watch out for the future sum really great show coming up now fairview xxxx

The Telegraph says it the best when summing up the Young Vic "The best theatre in London" and it really is! With a lovely bar and restaurant selling amazing food to the jaw dropping shows that they put on. This is one theatre I know I am never disappointed. Combine that with their flawless inclusion of local youth groups into their shows and a drive to bring diversity to theatre, it really is the best theatre in London!

Beautiful theatre. Amazing productions. Been there several and want to go back many more times.

My favourite theatre in London. They have great productions, a nice very busy bar with a terrace and a fantastic atmosphere. Definitely a nice experience.

This theatre show some really interesting performances from newer professionals. Great atmosphere both in the theatre and bar area. In fact, great spot for a drink even if you're not seeing any show.

Great theatre space. Just seen a very impressive performance of Blood Wedding.

It's experimental, exciting, genuinely treats theatre as an art.

As somewhat of a burger connoisseur I was blown away by the burger. The food was fantastic, fresh and incredibly tasty. Cool spot for meetings, dates, lunch on the go. The staff were great and if you fancy a tan there are seats outside. Fun menu and of course they've got great theatre also!

Very good productions, have enjoyed almost all of the shows I've seen at this theatre (been to 4 so far). Their production of Fun Home and Death of a Salesman are in the top 10% of the 200+ shows I've seen.

Nice space for a quick drink, lively atmosphere and helpful staff. Good terrace for smokers or in the summer.

Great venue, good service and always showing spectacular plays, featuring the best of emerging and established talent!

The restaurant was excellent value for very decent food.

Great theatre space with edgy offerings and innovative stage designs. Always enjoy the shows here.

Always a joy to visit this versatile and fascinating theatre. The bar is great too, if you can manage to squeeze yourself in.

One of my favourites. The productions never disappoint. Not the same can be said of the leg room though, always a bit tight.

Nice food. Good service, Watch out for 12.5% service charge.

Watching the innocence. What a show. Great facilities for a theater in London

Great stage - went to watch paly about Lumuba/Congo. However, in common with most London theatres, the seatin areas are quite cramped. Overall good seating and balcony layouts so well recommended. Restaurant and bar also good stuff!

Informal when you enter but the space itself is intimate and close to the stage. I like it. Plus great shows with heartfelt acting.

Not that much friendly and cozy place if you have to eat your food standing because others just occupy chairs on the restaurant/bar without buying anything and the staff just choose to ignore this...

Very very poor behaviour by some of the staff and a lack of understanding of the points of view of customers. Went to watch the convert and I am disappointed at how I was treated. I was not even able to collect my personal belongings and leave despite explaining my circumstances. The person that I spoke to at the front desk to make a complaint when I was eventually able to leave the venue was equally unhelpful. They do not offer refunds and staff lack training regarding providing a good service and customer satisfaction. I will never ever attend a play at the venue again.

Really enjoyed watching Brother Size here. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would visit again :)
