    I love the recreation of a grand old building with its mix of modern internal structure with stripped back features of it's original and intermediate days. However, I attended a music gig with a favourite band and had to leave after half an hour due to the poor sound. The stripped back brickwork is a great look but not good for sound as it bounces of the walls. Some simple hanging sound screens around those areas will work wonders. There's not much sound engineers can do to compensate. Unfortunate, as it's a great venue but could easily be put right with sound screens.

    Great venue, beautifully designed and cared for gardens, badly let down by its spectacularly awful cafe. Worst coffee in Glasgow and probably worst sandwiches too. Why not let a good local independent cafe run it rather than the repugnant encore?

    The hidden gardens. Great for wheelchair access. Tramway accessible toilet could be a little better lay out wise but still doable x

    Cool industrial vibe to this event space, with peaceful adjoining charity run Hidden Gardens and a good wee cafe for food & drink (including a beer). Staff are brilliant too, been here for TEDxGlasgow in 2016 and a wedding in 2017, always great craic about the place.

    A wonderful place for art and inspiration. The exhibitions are always original and inspiring. Definitely one of the best, if not the number one art studio in Scotland.

    Good enough for a concert but the queue for drink and the price of over £11 for two cans of cider was outrageous.

    Great Place To Be With The Citizens Theatre Friday Club To Watch Some Performance ON The Tramway Stage & Next Year IN 2023 I Perform ON The Tramway Stage With The Occasion Southside Group For The Return Of A Another Nice Mess For Laurel & Hardy

  • 5/5 Laura M. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the Tramway. We had an hour and a half to kill before a performance so enjoyed some of the exhibitions and the cafe. It's a brilliant venue. I remember it being the Transport Museum when I was wee

    Very interesting exhibition curated from prison and young offenders from Scotland. Nice that there is a platform to allow the display of these works. Would like to have seen a bigger collection.

  • 5/5 Farisa A. 11 months ago on Google
    Great space with various exhibitions & activities

  • 5/5 Robin F. 11 months ago on Google
    It is a great venue ...they could raise the stage a bit more.. probably to about 4ft to make it more engaging for live shows.

  • 5/5 John R. 9 months ago on Google
    Went to see Scottish Ballet perform their Summer Shorts programme. Intimate atmospheric venue with good acoustics, ideal for ballet as you sit closer to the performers than you would in a bigger theatre.

  • 5/5 Ryan W. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice venue. Nice gardens also! Great, free fun

  • 5/5 Tamara 1 year ago on Google
    Probably my favourite spot in whole Glasgow. From the most vibrant and busy festivals to the quietness and calm of a non busy day… this place is brilliant and the stuff very friendly and helpful. Lovely and great for whole family.

  • 5/5 William W. 6 months ago on Google
    So this place is new to me. What a fabulous use of space and great homage to what it was before. This place is wheel chair accessible. Has plenty toilets. Has disabled toilets. Has a cafe with ok ish coffee. Vibrant open space with good use of eye catching colour. The chimney in the hidden garden is just a glorious view of industry gone but not forgotten. Please pay a visit to this place. It's pure ded brilliant. Photos attached.

    Supper nice and interesting place. It was festival during our visit and it was cool for children and adults

  • 4/5 Jorn M. 4 months ago on Google
    On the day we visited it was very quiet. The place is free to visit. There are places for ballet and theatre presentations and rehearsals. The Hidden Garden is right behind the Tramway. There is also a little café with very good tea and cake. Very relaxing and cool ambiente. A large exhibition room got recently opened with African art.

    Fantastic place, great exhibitions, gigs etc and a lovely cafe. Also access to the spectacular Hidden Gardens

  • 2/5 Gregg Matthew (. 1 year ago on Google
    Bad experience at sprog rock. Everyone Having to sit on floor while adults accidentally walking on top of children in darkness. Hope no one was injured. Definitely needs seats to avoid this. The shows itself was ok a bit strange with some of the tunes. the tramway staff were friendly enough although never seen anyone serving at the cafe

  • 4/5 C G. 2 years ago on Google
    Popped in before the theatre so one course only. Service was good. Food came quickly. Good selection. I liked it very much! Need to go back to give it 5 stars 🙂

  • 5/5 Alan G. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing performance venue, watched Dance School of Scotland performance. Great wide stage giving performers plenty of room. Seats comfortable and close to stage.

  • 5/5 Aslan The bear 3. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool space. The cafe is well priced and right next to the hidden garden which is also worth a visit

  • 3/5 Derek G. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice enough community venue with pleasant staff. Long queues at the cafe/bar though and you're kind if stuck in a scheme as there's no pubs or restaurants in the vicinity either.

  • 3/5 Esther P. 1 year ago on Google
    We went to an interactive sensory art installation, but got told off for interacting with the one piece that was obviously interactive! There's no signs anywhere to say what you can and can't do, but after that you feel you can't touch/do anything!

  • 5/5 Kate V. 1 year ago on Google
    Relaxing gardens and often great exhibits. Over the years have seen Claire Barclay, France-Lise McGurn and Norman Gilbert and all have been great

  • 4/5 Jiwon Kokomong K. 1 year ago on Google
    Bit far fr town. But there is beautiful garden.

  • 5/5 Niki M. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favourite places in Glasgow, a peaceful little haven. The gardens are so lovely, the garden staff are super friendly and helpful too. The exhibition spaces inside are awesome. It's great for families, disable people friendly. Lots of small events and classes are run here. I can't recommend the Hidden Gardens enough for stress relief and a nice place to connect with nature.

  • 5/5 James P. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely space for art and events. The "Hidden Gardens" at the rear are a wonderful oasis of peace

  • 5/5 mandy S. 2 years ago on Google
    was working here for the show A Christmas Carol and its brilliant...I thoroughly recommend going to see it if you've a chance and support the Tramway

  • 5/5 Allan M. 5 years ago on Google
    Just had a wonderful afternoon at the Tramway perf centre. We saw Cyrano de Bergerac with Glaswegian accents and expressions. An excellent modern production by the Citizens Theatre. Tramway is fully accessible with accessible toilets.

  • 5/5 Glen M. 2 years ago on Google
    Easy to come and go even with mum who has poor mobility. Staff were great, just nice relaxed atmosphere not stuffy. Christmas Carol was awesome

  • 3/5 Mhari S. 2 years ago on Google
    We were here for a show put on by the Citezens theatre. Show was great and the seating was great even though we were late. We were put at the back which I didn't mind too much. But the lack of parking created problems, through the citizens website we were told to park at shields Road subway Park and ride but we were unaware of how far away this was. We then had to walk 20 mins to the Tramway. And as we were walking we saw countless street parking where we could have parked. Parking at the park and ride was not the best as we do not know Glasgow and surrounding areas.

👍👍 An excellent experience at Miller and Carter tonight. The food came out quickly and was so incredibly delicious - the steak was cooked to perfection and the beef dripping sauce was to die for! All steaks come with house fries they can up upgraded to chunky chips or sweet potato fried but we honestly...
