The theatre is beautiful, staff helpfull and
polite. We had a box (I 1 & 2) next to the stage which was great, despite booking it two nights before the show. The bar was well stocked and
reasonably priced. Drinks are priced in line with other venues of a similar nature. The bar area also sold the usual items such as crisps, sweets and nuts. During the intervals refreshments like ice cream, sweets etc. were on offer both from the bar and within the theatre area too.
All staff encountered from booking office staff, bar staff to ushers were polite and welcoming and helped achieve warm, friendly and welcoming environment. The theatre was clean and tidy and well maintained. Toilets were clean, well-stocked and hygienic. Seats were comfortable with plenty of leg room. The decor was good, the stage was well light and easy to see.
The Burlesque was so-so, wasn’t taken in with the male(?) burlesque act - nor the act with three breasts and the heavy metal/nail hammering on the nose - the burlesque lady who played the piano was brilliant, as was the comedian (finalist in BGT)…and Compare had a lovely singing voice & was very interactive with the audience. All in all, not a bad night -

An absolute gem of a place. Went to see Gary Delaney and as the stage is so close to the stalls and the rest of the circle / boxes are really close also, it makes stand up a really personal thing.
Gary was naturally on top form with close to the knuckle jokes and I need to see him further away to see if his routine follows a similar path.
Absolutely brilliant evening, I only wish I could remember more of his jokes.

A gorgeous theatre with stunning architecture. However, I was shocked and saddened at two of the below reviews that chose to focus on staff appearance and mannerisms rather than the show.
Now, I understand that it is natural to comment on staff experience at such things. HOWEVER, I attended the same show and DID NOT have the same experience with the same member of staff.
Quite frankly, to comment on someone’s appearance without knowing them from Adam is shameful considering the society we live in today. You do not know that person, and I certainly hope that this member of staff never reads your vitriol. Appearance is irrelevant in this whether they are tattooed to the high heavens or not. Your opinions on appearance should be kept to yourself at all times, especially concerning manners of weight. How rude.
NOW - to focus on MY version of the evening.
The member of staff in question explained that the gas had run out, and instead of being rude, I simply chose to have another drink. Truthfully, it should be a staff member in a managerial position to be concerned with gas and to ensure that the gas is ready for every single shift.
Every single member of staff in this venue is wonderful and helpful, and could not go above and beyond for myself and other members of the audience.
I’m rather fond of Irish music, having been known to attend a Cailedgh or two in the past. I particularly enjoyed the show. Making sure I was back for the second part of it rather than harassing the bar staff further.
This is a venue that I will certainly return to for many more shows, and hope the member of staff that has been thrown to the dogs in two reviews, is having a lovely week and is enjoying their job regardless of the people who attend.

Having recently attended the Dublin’s Legends performance and reading some awful reviews, I would like to praise the bar staff for their work that night.
As a former bar worker, I understand just how hard it is to be inundated with customers with such little time to attend to them all. The staff worked their way around the time limit very well, and wasn’t phased by any rude manners from fellow customers. There’s a time limit for a reason!
Remember - we all preached kindness through the pandemic - let’s try to live up to those words.
Personally, I found every member of staff delightful and very personable. I think it’s a shame to see such slander against people who work so incredibly hard.
The show itself was incredibly enjoyable. I hope to visit the venue again soon!

A beautiful old theatre with very well spaced and comfortable seating.
A really intimate feel, and with staff who are cheerful and helpful in every way.
I will certainly return even though it is a 150 mile round trip for me ... It's worth it!

Wow! What a truely wonderful venue, a lovely surprise never having been before. The marshalling staff were so friendly and welcoming. Loved the ornate theatre with the 'muppet seats', absolutely beautiful. However.....the way the bar was operated was rather like.....well, not like a relaxed bar! Pre-concert, draught beers were flat, which were eagerly replaced by way of can/bottle by a lovely bar person. We werent the only ones to complain about the flat beer as they were queuing up behind us to return their drinks.... However, at the break, when a further complaint was made about the continuing flat draught drinks still being served, it can only be described that the attitude of the member of staff (NOT the original member that served us initially - she was lovely) towards customers was utterly out of order! She advised in no uncertain terms that it was a new barrel therefore it was no longer flat!! I pointed out that it wasnt the product, it was the lack of gas! Obviously, this member of staff was not experienced at all in keeping a cellar in order. Clueless! In all my life (and Ive been around a while) I have never heard anyone be spoken to, how she spoke to me. This was also seen by another couple who expressed their disgust at her bad attitude. I tried to drink my flat beer then the same obnoxious, bossy and downright rude barperson literally shouted rudely at everyone and ordered everyone out the bar as the performance was about to restart! I objected by saying I would leave when I was ready and she threatened me she was going to get me thrown out!! Seriously!!?? This is a theatre, not a prison camp!! This unreasonable bar person who appears as a female, with long blonde hair, tattoos and is overweight needs to find herself another job. Perhaps one where she doesn't work with anyone else or have any contact with other people! I will be making a formal complaint.

We went to see the Dublin Legends perform who were absolutely amazing - playing Irish classics.
The venue itself is an amazing venue - a classic variety hall venue with boxes which even the staff call the ‘Muppet boxes’. The stalls actually have seats to the side of venue.
The whole experience was tainted by one person - Blondie behind the upstairs bar.
Initially she served 2 pints before performance which were clearly flat - having already served pints to people before myself which had no head.
Then we came to the finale - public announcement that 5 minutes until performance commenced - immediately Blondie was going round saying ‘Please drink up we need to close the bar.’ We said that we would leave shortly which seemed to anger her more - finally a couple next to us said ‘You are rude and they are going to comment online’ and her response was ‘Gone on then!’.
We’ll think best I follow her advice however I recommend the management send this particular member of staff on a basic ‘Customer Relationship 101 course’.
Despite the above I recommend the venue to anyone.

Our party of 7 visited the City Varieties today, to see Beauty and the Beast. We had an absolutely fabulous and memorable experience. Our party included 3 small children and they were totally engrossed by the panto.
Beautiful and historic theatre, an asset to Leeds. The seat prices were very reasonable.
The panto was incredible and the cast were very very talented. All of the cast had great singing voices and they all played musical instruments. The choreography was excellent.
I would rate the City Varieties as 5 stars and strongly recommend it.

Absolutely lovely to be back in this iconic building for the Rock and Roll Panto - how we have missed it and it didn’t disappoint - kids loved it the music and the slapstick - adults roared with laughter with the carefully placed innuendo. Special thanks to the lovely lady who sat with my grandson after he took a shine to her and decided to sit with the staff !!!!!!

We went to see Geoff Norcott at the City Varieties and, just before the show, I stupidly dropped my phone down a deep, narrow gap between my seat (G6) and the box thing they do the sound/lighting from (sorry, don't know the technical term for it!). I was distraught and felt so stupid. I really thought my phone was gone for good, as the box thing was totally encased by thick wooden panelling. Well, the City Varieties staff could not have been more helpful. They arrived during the interval with a variety of long, thin objects and eventually managed to retrieve my phone. I could have cried with relief. We don't realise how much of our lives we have on our phones these days, eg access to stuff. As well as lovely staff, it's a beautiful theatre and the show was excellent.

I would like to take my Great Aunt here for a show. However, is she elderly and has reduced mobility and struggles with stairs.
How well does this theatre cater for disability access and people with reduced mobility?

Hi. We sat in the stalls and had to go up done stairs. I am not sure. Have you checked their website. If you give them a ring they should be able to tell you. It is well worth a visit to this lovely theatre

Hi you are close to the stage and need to look up if you are in the front few rows so you may prefer to sit in the circle or further back in the stalls

Hi I have booked for a box E1 and E2 and am now concerned over restricted, can anyone advise if I these seats have a blind spot as they were more expensive than the stalls
Thanks.

The only restriction to your view will be a tiny section of the back of the stage on your side of the stage. Though as this is only a tiny stage, you will probably not be able to see about a 4 foot square area, any production worth it's salt doesn't have a lot of action going on in these corners.
I usually book box K which is above the stage and have never missed anything on stage either for plays, gigs or comedy nights
Enjoy your show and have a great time in this wonderful theatre
