Venue Experience and Facilities
Pros:
"An amazing theatre with reasonably priced beer, £10 2 pints."
"Local band terrorvision were playing, so knew we were in for a special night."
"The hall itself is a decent size with multiple tiers of seating."
"Great venue. Decent sized and comfortable chairs, plenty of leg room."
"It's a well organised, historical venue. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly."
"Acoustically great, this is a favourite venue for all things musical."
"Nicely done out after its refurbishment. The long-legged will still struggle in the seats but the sound is worth it."
"Fantastic refurbishment. Bars on each level and good seating on the ground floor."
Cons:
"Unfortunately, the audio wasn't good and I missed quite a bit of Guz Khan."
"Some seating areas on the dressing circle had aluminium barriers that will inhibit some viewing."
"The seating is questionable. This was my first time here and it seemed unless you were sat right at the front of the row, someone's head was blocking your view."
"D23 or D24 has a post smack bang in the middle of your viewing area."
"Seats in the circle comfortable. We had a good view of stage."
"Very enjoyable evening, Rumours of Fleetwood Mac were amazing, really nice reception and bar with sensible pricing, would have been 5 star but for the seating, too close together and very basic."
"Comfortable seating, great views from all seats. Only minor problem was that there was no bar upstairs."
"Lovely old building. Theatre has a wide variety of events. No lift beyond the first floor so lots of steps if you have any mobility issues."
Staff and Customer Service
Pros:
"All the staff were friendly and so helpful. Really made for a fantastic experience."
"The staff were easy to talk to, which helped me because I have social anxiety."
"Very friendly and helpful staff. Entrance could be better sign posted."
"Staff had no idea I am autistic but any request I had was met with a smile and helpfulness."
"Staff all very pleasant, polite and smartly dresses and we were shown to our seats."
"The staff were brilliant. We went to see and hear Apostle Harry Gomes, anointed with the power of God, where people received healing."
"Staff were great as usual. Although it was very cold."
"Staff very helpful looked like they were happy to help, the bar takes contact payments and cash, must say lots of staff behind the bar, quickly got served."
Cons:
"I did report it to the ushers however I was told the entertainment manager will come and see you... they didn't."
"As a retired sound and lighting engineer, I'm sure it's not the acoustics in the building, but the poor sound engineering."
"Atrocious service at the bar, the queuing system is appalling for drinks."
"Enjoyed the show but at break time unable to get any soft drink due to the staff not allowed to serve."
"Staff extremely helpful, but difficult for disabled people. No signs for the lift and it wasn't working properly."
"My wife, 95, was affected by the heat at the Brighouse and Rastrick concert on Sunday. The care and attention she received from the staff was first class."
"I was only booking for a show but the girl behind the desk was very helpful as I was booking for myself and my neighbour who has learning disabilities."
"Poor was told to queue in one place then they told us we was in the wrong place so had to go in another queue right at the back."
Accessibility and Seating Comfort
Pros:
"Updated and much better. We sat in the stalls and the chairs are ok. Enough room to walk along without standing up."
"Today was my 1st time visiting St George's Hall and I went to watch the great GUZ KHAN LIVE. Its a great venue."
"It's small, personal and perfect for small stage acts."
"Very enjoyable evening, Rumours of Fleetwood Mac were amazing, really nice reception and bar with sensible pricing, would have been 5 star but for the seating, too close together and very basic."
"Attended an event at this hall and it was very good. The hall is extremely accessible, we were sat on the stalls and the entrance was all flat."
"Fabulous building, masterfully restored with lovely modern touches throughout. An excellent venue once again in operation, all amenities have been included to high standards."
"Went to see a show there. Couldn't believe how much leg room we had, was sat in stalls a few rows back and I could stretch out (I'm 6ft3)."
"Comfortable seating, great views from all seats. Only minor problem was that there was no bar upstairs. Would have saved time especially at the interval."
Cons:
"Some seating areas on the dressing circle had aluminium barriers that will inhibit some viewing if you are unlucky to get those seats."
"D23 or D24 has a post smack bang in the middle of your viewing area. I'm my opinion these should not be sold or at a very discounted rate!"
"The seating is questionable. This was my first time here and it seemed unless you were sat right at the front of the row, someone's head was blocking your view."
"Comfortable seating, great views from all seats. Only minor problem was that there was no bar upstairs."
"Lovely old building. Theatre has a wide variety of events. No lift beyond the first floor so lots of steps if you have any mobility issues. No toilets on top floor which means up and down more steps!"
"A very famous Bradford concert hall that has hosted many famous people. Recently done up and had a lot of money spent on it. Unfortunately, none of that was set aside for the old out of date seating."
"Good show and service but the chairs were not very comfortable and right next to each other, so touching people both sides making you sit a little too rigidly."
"The seats were designed for people a hundred years ago, who were smaller and thinner. Even an average man or woman would find it uncomfortable."
