I’ve been to a couple of concerts at The Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh and really enjoyed the experience. It’s a lovely venue with a good atmosphere, and the bar has a nice selection at reasonable prices. The location is spot on, with a car park nearby which makes getting there easy. The seats aren’t the most comfortable, but to be fair, that’s pretty standard for these kinds of places! Overall, a great spot for live music and shows and well worth a visit.

Great venue, my first time there to see an excellent set by badly drawn boy, performing his epic hour of the bewilder beast' album, as 25 year anniversary. I know it will vary by artist, but tickets were only 35 which is a bargain these days, and amazingly only 1.50 admin fee! Makes it cheap and accessible, and they have some excellent gigs coming up, I'll definitely return. Staff were nice and helpful, decent bar with a jug of water and cups to help yourself. Nice traditional layout with wooden pews and wraparound upstairs balcony easily accessible. 20 mins walk straight from Waverley station, hint is to exit from back of station to old town, and use Scotsman steps.

I attended on 27Nov25 to see Bootleg Eagles with my disabled son and another disabled person. The staff were extremely helpful escorting us to a designated area they had set aside for the wheelchairs near the stage. The lady managing the stage area ensured the view from the wheelchairs was kept clear from enthusiastict revellers making the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Thankyou to the Queens Hall staff.

Not the best venue for a show when we've stood in the front off the queue for half an hour in the freezing cold only to land up at the back when they changed the door that was opened to go in. Also inside when people are standing in the front - ground level seats view is VERY restricted. Too many stairs to upper level. I'd been looking forward to the show for months but couldn't see most of it.

And old venue with so much potential character, yet the wooden pews have been covered up with a cheap bright blue paint. It’s an eyesore of a venue inside, but this did not affect the performance. Toilets were clean and modern. Bar service was quick and affordable.
