O2 Apollo Stockport Road, Manchester M12 6AP

"The Apollo is a great place to watch gigs. Not too far from the stage at any point. The venue has good parking close by if you're coming from out of town. Great atmosphere too!"

"Went to see the Blossoms, venue is great but it felt a bit disorganised getting in. There was security on the door searching people and checking tickets which made the queue slow but I am happy for it as it increases safety. The problem we had was that we went as a couple and the security on the door split us up to do searches to a male queue and female queue, I get it and understand why, but I had both the tickets on my phone so it was a bit of a struggle finding my partner to get him in the venue. In terms of the actual venue, they serve massive double pints which is great to save you from going to the bar multiple times, the acoustics are good and the floor is slanted so if you are stood at the back / behind people you can still clearly see the stage. Good design!"

"Concert venue just outside central Manchester with good facilities. Parking can be an issue as there is no dedicated large car park. I parked at the NCP Circle Square which was about a 15 min walk away. Toilets are small, even the men had to queue! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Concert sound is good. Overall a great little venue."

"Little theatre on the outskirts of the city centre.. If you are visiting just be aware there is very little to see and do around the theatre... just a small pub... for pre show drinks... pleasant enough It's an old theatre and it looks very nostalgic from the outside... and reminds you of an old cinema inside... But don't be fooled... it's an amazing place to see a show especially a music event because the sound inside it amazing I sat on the on the lower level of the theatre and enjoyed good view of the stage... The seat was comfortable enough but the arm rest was broken and your feet stick to the floor.. Guess another indication of the age of the place This didn't deter from having a good time Toilet facilities are available... Bar available The staff are more than happy to help and support... Very polite and friendly... Would I return... Yes..."

"It was my first visit to the O2 Apollo Manchester, I thought it was great, like stepping back in time to an old Cinema, I was sat at the very back, last but one row. The sound was great, the Nick Masons sauce full of Secrets was great, the staff were great. There were two negatives, security were going to refuse me entry because they thought I was drunk, I was able to explain I had a health issue, but it was OK for folk to get drunk inside, seated near me some folk were getting up during the show to get beer maybe 8 or 10 times, nearly falling down the steps, I thought that once the show started we should have remained seated, showsome respect to the Act and to fellow audience. I did not let it spoil my evening, I still had a great time."
