In the heart of Glasgow walking around the historical centre this beautiful building is located in a pedestrian area very crowded during the day, around here many cafes and restaurants. Impossible to miss it.

We went to see Chris De Burgh on Sunday 28th April. Walked up Buchanan Street to get there as it sits facing you at the top of the street. I walk with a stick and find stairs a bit of a struggle, although I can manage. Definately not the masses of stairs to get to the door at the front... More

Love the concert hall, location and sound perfect no matter where your seated. Mick Hucknall, need i say more, he was fab, loved the concert with the varied songs he did. Brilliant.

The concert hall was packed out for Mick Hucknell concert. Great seats, fantastic acoustics. Staff organise everything without you noticing. It's such a lovely spacious building with nooks and crannies for catching up at the interval. But I think one of the key positives about this great place is the lack of stuffiness. You want to get up and dance... More

A splendid venue which hosts musical performances from classical to country and much more. The accoustics are excellent and the seating layout very good. There's a decent shop, restaurant and bar. All in all a great concert hall.

Went to see the opera Tosca which was sung in Italian but with helpful subtitles. Our seats were in the upper circle and the theatre was less than a1/3 full but the quality of the sound was very poor. At the interval went for ice cream and at £2.50 for a small pot was rip off
