Friendly Staff and Good Facilities . We sat down at what you can call 'The Stalls' (as there is only two storeys) and we had a relatively good view in the middle . The only thing I would say was a slight issue was car parking , so now we take the park + ride bus into town !

Great for smaller gigs, a much more intimate experience than the AECC, a lot more comfortable too. Great for classical and quieter gigs!

We went to see surreal comedian Milton Jones. While his act itself was excellent, we were sat in row T and the sound quality was terrible. I recommend a seat nearer the front.

Regular visits to the Aberdeen Music Hall to experience the delights of the Scottish Symphony Orchestra performances is a must for me. Six visits a year including the popular Christmas performance provides the aficionado with an impressive range of musical experiences. . Acoustically the hall is excellent. Would encourage others to support the SSO in this wonderful setting.

Been to a few gigs at the music hall and they tend to be cheaper than AECC. The decor is a tad dated and good use a lick of paint but overall its in good nick.well worth a visit

Great for a night out, quick service at bar during interval, staff are lovely and helpful. Great view of the stage from any area of the stalls, and well spaced out seating.

We went to the Red Hot Chilly Pipers concert which was excellent.However the it was spoiled by rude latecomers wandering in after the perfomance had started whilst the warm up group were performing. I know that the venue can't help this, but they seem to encourage it by leaving the main door open which meant there was a large amount... More

The balcony seats were comfortable and gave a good view of the orchestra. We were surprised to find that the acoustics were not as good as expected for a classical music concert, but nevertheless the Philharmonia conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen was superb. A real treat.

Attended a talk here as part of the science festival week. Very good acoustics and friendly staff who were visible and eager to help people find their seats. As it is in the centre of town it is very easy to reach. An imposing building from the outside, but a surprisingly intimate space inside which I can imagine working well... More
