We had a ball at the recent Bruce Dickinson gig at the Barras. Our first ever gig happened to be Iron Maiden at this very venue back in 1998 so it was fabulous to see Bruce gracing the same stage many years later!
It was a great atmosphere. Everyone around us was up for enjoying the gig, with no nonsense like constantly talking over the music, thankfully, and it was a bonus to experience the Barras roar without the accompanying beer rinse for once.
All the staff we encountered were efficient and friendly from the security staff to the barman who was full of the Glasgow patter when the hubby asked if there was a charge for a glass of water “it’s free of course, it’s tap water!!”. The way it should be!

Attended a concert here (The Mountain Goats). The neon sign outside and star-covered ceiling inside are really iconic, and the sound was great.
There are a lot of stairs, so be aware of that if you have any sort of mobility issue (I think they have accessibility options for people with disabilities, but there are, of course, also people who have unrecognised mobility issues or who are simply tired after doing sightseeing before the concert/standing in queue outside).
Please also be aware that the cloakroom is 2 pounds per item, but they accept card payments.
Tap water was free (well, either that or I accidentally stole some?), which I think is really important for health and safety of concert-goers (at my local concert venue a single cup of water is 6 pounds).

I’ve read a few of the comments and have to agree, there is something weirdly charming or even nostalgic about this venue. It doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not and it’s been allowed to age gracefully.
I liked the whole 90’s / early 00’s vibe - gig posters, dated carpets, sticky floors, the town hall-esque layout, urinals that stretched for miles and sports club style bars! I liked the fact that it was limited in Beer / Lager choices - “Best or Tennent’s, what would you like?” And the outside, well, it reminded me of holidays to Blackpool back in the day and seeing the illuminations.
What I loved though was the sound, in particular the atmosphere created by the music and the reaction of the crowd. Every song Feeder played you could almost feel the music rushing through your veins!
The gig itself was fantastic - Feeder were one of my favourite bands growing up and although they promoted their new stuff (which was still class), their full greatest hits collection was on show as well. They had the crowd (including me) in the palm of their hand (a crowd that was mostly filled with people who grew up listening to their music).
For me it was a night I won’t forget anytime soon - doing it solo felt weird but at the same time it was quite nice, as I got to do things as I wanted without pleasing anybody else.

Fab place for a concert, but drink queue was long and drinks were quite pricey. Staff were lovely and happy to have a laugh with you. Had a great time here

Hadn't been here for over 20 years, and it hasn't changed one bit. Floor still sticky as hell.
Staff are super friendly, and work really hard. Amazing place for a gig, and Tide Lined had the place bouncing.

Excellent venue. The bars have a very good system in place so it works at being alot more efficient and timely rather than a free for all at the bar!! The ballroom was beautiful!

Seen some bands here over the decades and it’s quite unique in the sense that, because of the acoustics, the crowd are quite audibly singing the songs and passionately so. Something that is lost in an outdoor venue. Forget all the soor pooses yammering on about the obvious need for a makeover, the ambiance would be lost in a heart beat. If you have never seen a band here, make a point of changing that. It’s a damn site better than the antiseptic cavern that is the Hydro.

Was Great. No complaints. Old music venue. Paint’s tired. So what? If you’re going to a gig who gives a snatch about decor?

Just saw The Sisters of Mercy here. Fantastic gig, but as a person with mobility issues, I have to say that the Ballroom skates perilously close to being illegal. It takes 2 flights of stairs to get to the stage area - no lifts. Walking up is bad enough, leaving was even worse, with the pressure of other people constantly pushing behind me. Staff were lovely and stepped in to help, but they shouldn't have to. I know, it's old and 'iconic'. That's no excuse. The owners need to sort out proper disabled access before someone gets hurt.

What is the view like from the accessibility platform? Can you see the stage/ band ok? Thankyou
Rédigé le 16 avril 2024
From memory it’s next to the sound stage and that’s where all the YouTube videos are taken from. Not up close and personal where I like to be, but your sound experience is probably the best in the room.

How much does the cloakroom cost? I'm going to a show soon and I want to know how much change to bring.

Am I allowed to bring food in in my bag for eating after the gig I'm attending ends?
Rédigé le 21 septembre 2023
I'm at a event on Wednesday night and was wondering if your allowed small bags on you? I have a cross body bag I use so I dont lose my mobile and keys etc
Rédigé le 19 juin 2023
Not sure to be honest as i do not take small bags to gigs in case they are not allowed.
Rédigé le 21 juin 2023
Could someone tell me about what is allowed or forbidden inside the venue? (water bottle, bags, food...) thanks!
Rédigé le 1 novembre 2019
There's a cloakroom . You can take small bags in depending on gig but water bottles would have to be checked
Rédigé le 14 novembre 2019
How early do you need to get there to get a good view / be near the front in standing. Thanks.
Rédigé le 24 mai 2019
Hi,
Depends on band and crowd.
If you are as close to the front during any support band the usual milling between bands will give you a chance to move in.

Hi I’ve got a ticket for a gig that is 18+ but only have a young Scot card as ID,it has a holographic pass on it and contains my d.o.b will it still work as I’ve lost my passport ?

Yes, Young Scot’s cats with a PASS holographic image is a valid form of ID.
