Had a great night listening to the band but this review is more to say the hospitality of the venue staff was more than we expected from the monument we arrived We were pointed to a man called John at the entrance that escorted me and my wife to our seats as she is disabled. They really are so accommodating we were introduced to another member of staff that was also very attentive he noticed my wife was holding her back so changed her stool for one with a fack rest . We were also told if we needed anything just ask . Only down side drink prices are a bit overly expensive .great night out well looked after so will be back there again soon.

Went here to see The Mission and Theatre of Hate last month and I had a great time thanks to the security who were constantly handing out water and checking up on everyone in the first few rows of barricade. Entry was fairly swift and I felt safe even when my friends were upstairs when I was downstairs, one very kind member of security chatted to me about how the plastic cups were recycled and even handed me a clean setlist after the show after I had given one I had received to someone next to me who desperately wanted it. The venue itself has a good amount of room including a seated balcony space, the barricade and the stage are the perfect distance appart for both enjoyment and safety. I had a great time!

We had a fabulous night there last night watching Miles Kane. The venue is lovely. The security was amazing, especially John who looked after our daughter so well. He was reassuring and kind, just what she needed. We've been to other music venues in Manchester and wouldn't return as we didn't feel safe. However, John made the experience so lovely, we will definitely be returning. Fabulous night for us and our daughter.

Me and my friend went to see Matt Bennett at O2 Ritz and we had the best time ever. Matt truly does know how to get a crowd going to enjoy and relive their childhood era. The bad thing about the venue it was too small for amount of people that came to the concert. Everyone was cramped together and couldn’t hardly move. The room felt like a pure sauna and hardly had any air conditioning which led to people be dripping wet of sweat or worse passing out due to the heat of the room. You could’ve gone outside to cool down but it meant you would miss some of the concert but be stuck right at the back of the crowd. But apart from the venue…Matt Bennett was AMAZING !!!!!!!!

Nice intimate venue! I went with my disabled friend and they provided us with seating next to the bar with a good view. You need to ask for this and they will help you in and find a seat for you. Really attentive & friendly staff!

A very nostalgic night for me. Went to see Michael Schenker as Schenker was the first live band I ever saw way back in 1983 and he didnt disappoint. Played all the old classics as well as quite a few UFO tracks. I hadnt been to this venue for 20 odd years after last seeing Ozzy there. Only downside was the price of the beer, over 7 quid for a pint of cider I walk with a stick and was asked no less than 3 times in the queue outside if i needed any assistance, twice more inside. The staff were fantastic and Im looking forward to going again in the near future A great venue but do yourself a favour and have a few pints before you go in, you'll save a fortune

Its a decent size venue for a gig - quite a few bars, a decent balcony (if you get near the front). We were here to see Earl Sweatshirt, a fairly underground hip hop act and it was the perfect size venue for an artist like this. The drinks are a tad pricey but somewhat expected for a gig venue. The organisation to queue to get in was straight forward. Would like to see more events here in the future!
