there are no decent bars or restaurants near here so eat/drink North of the river before heading to this venue

Nice venue with easily accessible bars. Smaller space.

It’s really not the best laid out venue for a heavy metal gig, I’m not sure how smaller people see anything unless they’re right down the front

Seen The Game, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg With The Game & SJ Quik, Cascada /Ultrabeat , Kanye West ,Nas Perform Here Live

Awful sound, no face control (making it that 14 years olds are smuggling drugs to an 18+ event), and a little bit far away. Still, not bad enough to make you miss a gig just because of the venue.

Staff are so helpful.

Acoustics are great but the place feels run down now and it's horrible for visibility if people are taller.

Worst sounding venue I’ve ever been to. Consistently sounds bad regardless of who’s playing.
O2 Academy GlasgowAugust 17, 2010
tonnes of great gigs coming up!!!

Don't waste your time ordering a bottle of water. Apparently the bar staff aren't allowed to give out plastic bottles.

Reeks of hotdogs these days. Minging
