The Victoria Theatre has 2 main bars and a smaller bar for your pre-show and interval drinks. The theatre also has pop up bars for larger events, including bars in the main auditorium for stand up rock and pop music gigs.
The Victoria Theatre Bars
The Stalls Bar
The Stalls Bar is on the ground floor of the theatre and is fully accessible for wheelchair users.
1901
1901 is the theatre's new ground floor bar that sits next to the main entrance where the box office used to be. It serves a range of drinks, as well as quality, freshly ground and brewed coffee. It is also has it's own front door that doubles as an accessible entrance.
The Green Room Bar
The Green Room Bar on the Circle level of the theatre is our largest bar. It is open for all main auditorium events, as well as playing host to the Victoria Theatre’s monthly comedy club – Dick and Liddy’s (click here for more information). The Green Room Bar has a selection of seating but unfortunately isn’t easily accessible for wheelchair users.
The VIP Lounge
Our small but delightful VIP Lounge is a more intimate setting for a pre-show tipple and a chat. The Lounge can also be booked for exclusive use for groups, parties and hospitality for pre, interval and post-show drinks and nibbles. For more information about booking this room for exclusive use, please visit our Groups and Hospitality page.
In addition to our bars, the Victoria Theatre also has a main snack kiosk in the lobby that sells a selection of soft drinks, savoury and confectionery items and a number of smaller kiosks around the theatre where you can purchase ice creams.
