Saw Dreadzone in April with two friends, travelled down from Shropshire so didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be a great music venue with a great (loud!) pa / soundsystem. The staff were very helpful and the drinks reasonably priced. Will definitely return to this venue again to see a live band, we just need to find... More

We had booked well in advance, a group of 6 girls celebrating a 40th. Tickets were £45 each and for that we got a bottle of prosecco on arriving. The 3 course meal of which we were all very pleased with the choices. I'd say the meal itself was easily £25 per head quality. After the meal we we given... More

I surprised my hubby to the VIP meal and reserved table on a Saturday night. What a great experience... The staff were attentive and friendly, the food was delicious - real homemade gourmet style dining. It's no 5 star experience but was very tasty and so filling we shared a pudding! The seat in the theatre were ace and I... More

This was my second visit. Previously I had visited on a hen party and the food wasn't brilliant, so as a couple we decided to just book for the show. The comedians were good. The toilets (2 women's for 400 people) had a constant queue, one with no toilet paper and a blocked loo, and a hand drier which didn't... More

Dear Susan, Glad to hear you returned to Komedia Bath and thanks for your feedback. On the basis of this we will increase the signage on the Ladies in the auditorium, as the venue’s main toilets are at the front of the building, rather than the small number inside the auditorium itself. As you note, we do welcome parties to... More

Visited the Komedia for an acoustic gig last Friday. We were seated in the balcony, and there is standing room below. Cannot fault this lovely building. It's incredibly beautiful on the inside, despite its modern exterior. Really enjoyed the show and the seats were comfortable too. Only downside, very expensive drinks, £4 a pint and £2.50 for a bottle of... More
