    Went here to see Skaar.( Pronounced Score ) We were there early but weren't allowed in until precisely 8pm. Just as well it wasn't raining. There is a small museum with some music memorabilia and a bar and a record shop. The concert was good - very lively and energetic but it is too small a venue for the sound level to be that high. I don't think my hearing will be the same. It was a standing concert too so word up to those have trouble with that.

    First time here to see Alejandro Escovedo and Don Antonio band. Small vibrant venue with seating and a well stocked bar and friendly staff. Excellent gig.

    Great Music centre supporting local musicians. It has wonderful displays of memorabilia of these artists such as Van Morrison, Henry McClough etc. And has music gigs in their main room. 👌🎸🎶

    So happy to find this place, with the 6 degrees of seperation on the rock and roll family tree. The rain in 'Belly' is better than Manchester so the music should by right be better, so too the revolutionary spirit ;) I visited Oh Yeah 3 times, the place certainly has a magic to it. The exhibition features real gems, from Divine Comedy, to Therapy, I got really excited about seeing a flyer from a gig I went to and was involved with in a display case, ahh to have collected something culturally significant. Didn't see enough about ASH or Snow Patrol (?). There was nobody during the day to work the bar or serve a coffee, (any excuse to hang out.) The sound engineer was far too much of a tis with cables for a gig, the lady at reception didn't seem to be as enthusiastic about the music and had no interest to chew the fat about music, nobody could tell me about rehersal space or jamming at the venue. They run 'Over the Hill' for older musicians, dare say according to Ed Sheeran fans this is anyone over 30 not 70 or who remember KT Tunstall :D What I am saying is the demographic from 30 & up still values music and wants to get connected. Give me job here I would help bottle the lighting.

    Great venue, performed here with my choir. Great sound people and staff were friendly and lovely.

  • 5/5 TheMk2sideways 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoyed a great gig. The sound system was great and the stage was large enough for the bands to fully express themselves.

  • 5/5 Darren F. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my first time here and it won't be my last. It is an excellent music venue with super friendly and helpful staff.

  • 5/5 Peter M. 1 year ago on Google
    Quirky event space with lots of memorabilia (and great guitars) from the Belfast music scene

  • 5/5 Maeve S. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely venue for a concert, enjoyed my trip to see Set It Off. Staff were friendly and so polite and the security staff were so kind and caring to the young people attending. A lovely atmosphere and well run venue. The venue is also a charity supporting local artists and I was lucky to hear one of their artists. Highly recommend for a concert.

    We went in for the terrific new record shops that is Star Records, which is really really good. But found a place that has great memorabilia from artist like Ven Morriston. Such a lovely place, they had kids doing drawing and it was very welcoming 🙏 Most enjoyable.

  • 5/5 James D. 6 months ago on Google
    One of the best independent music venues anywhere on these islands. Charlotte Dryden has done wonders with this venue. Brilliant programming, polite helpful staff - what more could you ask for? The importance of spaces like this wasn't lost on CMAT who we came to see today. She knows the craic!

  • 5/5 Michael L. 4 months ago on Google
    What to say about Base Arcade?? Absolute pure nostalgia. Really hope this place becomes a full time venture rather than a pop up.

  • 5/5 verity m. 9 months ago on Google
    Free entry, really chill we were given free reign to look around ourselves which was nice

  • 4/5 Joanne M. 5 months ago on Google
    A place where people from all displaced countries can express themselves in music and verse.

  • 5/5 Sarah F. 6 months ago on Google
    Hobbywhores is a must go event for all the gals! Bar staff super friendly and efficient.

  • 5/5 Jeff K. 1 year ago on Google
    Inspirational, empowering through historical information and archives on music in Belfast and Northern Ireland at large.

  • 5/5 Kieran B. 1 year ago on Google
    How was my experience? I work there. I love the music, the people the community spirit the music memorabilia, the history everything. No joke. Not being paid to say this. More people should check it out and keep it open

  • 1/5 funda d. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice wee place but Turned up for Rehina Del Cid concert tonight with Unreserved Seating clearly stated on tickets to find it was Standing with very few seats. Concert was not cheap also. Extremely disappointed as I simply can't stand for few hours. Feels like listening music at home via YouTube. Extremely DISAPPOINTED ...😔

    Great rehearsal space. Great staff.

    I hate giving bad reviews, especially because, in this case, I'm very sure that the management and staff of the Oh Yeah Centre work very hard, and are passionate about what they do. In many respects the venue is great - the display of memorabilia, for example. And the venue is probably fine for small concerts. But at the Reina Del Cid show last week there were too many people packed in. Almost all had to stand. There was no discernible anti-covid ventilation. Apologies if I've got that wrong, but the air felt very still! The stage is elevated only by about a foot, which means that unless you are in the first few rows, you really don't see very much at all. From towards the back someone of average height might see the tops of the heads of the performers. Below average height and you will see nothing at all. I am genuinely sorry to be so negative, but I don't think that's nearly good enough if you're aiming to provide a pleasant customer experience. I hate to say this because of the otherwise fine work that they do, but the Oh Yeah Centre is now well and truly off my list of concert venues.

    Nice venue for gigs, cool memorabilia on show too

  • 5/5 David T. 2 years ago on Google
    Had such an amazing time at this venue during the Superfly Funk and Soul show, the intimate atmosphere added so much to the music. It was really cool to see the Belfast music exhibits around the walls before the music started (especially the SLF and Defects stuff), but once the DJ sets started it was immediately clear why they chose that venue. A great night

    I've never met a musician in this city that has been helped by the Oh Yeah centre. Apparently it was set up to help musicians?? The fact is, Belfast does not support local musicians, the Oh Yeah does absolutely nothing to change this. They should have their funding taken away and given to organisations that actually put work in.

    Great place.

  • 4/5 Simon P. 5 years ago on Google
    Great little venue with some cool quotes and memoribilia from the Northern Irish music scene.

  • 4/5 Rachael W. 6 years ago on Google
    A terrific overview of Belfast's rich musical history despite a very absent staff.

  • 5/5 T S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very enjoyable place to jam. I like it.

  • 5/5 William M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great venue, friendly staff with lots of music history in one place. Seating area for cafe is appreciated and the sound stage area is loud enough for the gig goers to get the experience but not isolating those who are at the cafe area and want to chat but not have to yell.

  • 5/5 Amita R. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place, great staff happy to help. Musical ambiance which makes this place more special
