Viva in Blackpool

We believed it would be amazing to reserve this location for my friend's birthday and really invested in the extras to ensure it was unforgettable. However, upon our arrival, we witnessed bouncers ejecting patrons and creating chaos. We spoke to the manager about it, but they didn't take any action. Now, I’m suffering from food poisoning days later! It’s such a letdown since we personally know the owner. We ended up cutting our night short, and it was an awful experience for almost £500 gone. And let’s not forget the £25 we spent on balloons and prosecco! Complete waste.

I recently visited to see the jingle bell christmas party show ...and we had the best time ..the food was beautiful the service top notch and the show as brilliant as always ...this occasion I took my terminally ill friend with me as a Christmas treat for her an when I say it took her breath away ..I mean literally ...she was breathless from so much laughing and singing and totally enjoyed it all ..so a massive thanku to all at viva blackpool for making one special lady's night 😁

Love Viva. Great shows, lovely staff and a lively environment. Seen a few shows, Jersey Beats, 80's & 90's revival, Cannon & Ball, Musical Films songs. Dancers, singers, comedians, hosts, bar and waiting staff, whole team are super talented and professional. Good food too, no long waits. Definitely visit again.

Went here for a work Christmas do, sadly it was really poor and we decided to move on. Venue is very dated, service was horrendous, queue the length of the room. 45 mins+ wait to get served. There were 3 or 4 bar staff for hundreds of people. Then when we got served it was £6.25 for basic lager in the wrong, dirty, glass. 👎

Absolutely fantastic venue I’ve been to quite a few shows there ,love everything the food entertainment atmosphere prices the list is endless,it really is a fantastic family experience it’s a must visit when going to Blackpool,I’d especially like to mention a member of staff called Ben on booking,I’m not the best on technology and he’s gone above and beyond to help with my bookings and ordering food nothing is to much trouble and I never feel rushed when calling,he explains all the discounts and savings,thank you viva xx

This is the worst place to go as a customer AND as an employee. You will be expected to work 4+ weeks with no pay, ans when you come to the end of your “trial shifts” you will get a reduced pay due to the the weird system of these “4 week trial shifts”. They treat employees poorly. They are overworked and underpaid. The customers in this venue are nasty as well. The place will be overcrowded to the point it becomes a risk to even walk. Putting customers and employees at the very bottom of their priority list, makes the atmosphere awful. Do not go here. In any aspects. You will be treated awful and made to feel majority undermined.

Otro espectáculo magnífico. Buble Tribute act. Josh era excelente. Animador de primera clase. La banda también era magnífica Tenía el plato de compartir en el intervalo - valor magnífico Mirando hacia adelante a la temporada 2025. Hemos visto todas las producciones internas para 2024 . . estaremos de vuelta!

Show was great, really enjoyable. Salt and pepper chicken maybe could do with less salt. Shame as it was a tasty dish - just far too much salt.

It was ok... I enjoyed the music but not the talking...someone liked the sound of their own voice.

Servicio asqueroso! Después de completar 3 años de tratamiento contra el cáncer mi esposo me invitó a una noche en los dardos 7 / 11 / 24. El sitio web dijo que las puertas abren inmediatamente a las 5 pm. Al llegar nos dieron la vuelta y nos dijeron que volviéramos a las 7 pm. Ningún aviso recibido excepto un correo electrónico recibido al 3 : 30 pm diciendo que la comida y las bebidas fueron canceladas... ¿de qué sirve esto? Ahora estamos esperando a las 7 pm y no es bueno después de no tener la mejor salud. El personal de recepción y el servicio al cliente fueron una pérdida de tiempo. ¡Nunca más!

Visit to Viva to see a show Freddie and the queen experience. We didn't have any food but the pizza's did look nice. The show was excellent and the venue was great. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. Will definitely go again.

What a brilliant time we had yesterday! (Sat 2nd Nov) The atmosphere was fabulous, the DJ and the show was full of energy and the service was absolutely great. I haven’t danced or laughed that much in ages! Will definitely be back - thanks guys x x

1st time we have been here. Went to see meatloaf tribute, what a great night. Fabulous atmoshphere. All round friendly and helpful staff. We will be back

Excellent night watching the Meatloaf tribute band. Incredible vocalist and musicians. A must see watch.

Visited Viva for the megaslam wresting show Disappointed on how many fights that there was 4 wrestlers! Not good enough. Never tried the food Staff where friendly ( Jack the barman)

La segunda vez en el viva absolutamente fantástico el gran soplo de grasa jajajaja qué risa el espectáculo fue brillante y todo el personal era muy profesional sin duda ir de nuevo.

Events are great, furniture could do with a renovation but what pissed me off the most was the room isn’t set up with a dance floor yet we kept getting our view of the stage blocked by dancers in the audience, now it’s not particularly expensive but I didn’t pay to see a bunch of drunk women dancing, I want my money back

Went to the queen night very disappointed sounds like a pub singer at best after they promoted this venue as a world beater they need to come down to earth I have heard better on the streets

Amazing experience from start to finish, friendly staff that couldn't do enough for you. The food was tasty the venue was fantastic.The show was rewind decades it was absolutely brilliant, the singers and dancers were superb and the compare/owner was soooo funny. Will definitely visit again.

Had a great time at both the Broadway and Rewind shows. I have given 4 stars because the performers were brilliant but the compare/owner has long past his sell by date. same cringeworthy gay jokes both nights in front of kids. He's just not funny.

Amazing time great show last night and staff couldn't do anymore food was fab can't wait to cone again.

Came to see audience with Still Game "auld pals". Venue was crammed, couldn't see cast on stage and could hardly hear what was being said with the amount of noise from staff putting glass bottles in bins or whatever. And the compare/comedian continually laughed at every comment and continued to do this while cast was talking which was rather annoying. All in all not a very good experience. Just to add, we were booked with Caledonian travel.

Fantastic night didn't have any food

El gran soplo gordo es gracioso, volverá la defo, la esposa ya está planeando su próxima noche de fiesta. Noche brillante.

One of the best shows I seen the food was fantastic nothing was to much trouble for the staff and it was definitely valued for money will be back thank you so much x

Compare and singers and dancers was brilliant so much energy never stopped laughing at man who called himself fat puff he very talented and not bad singer was interacting with audience this is a must see show every time come blackpool

Excellent place. Great host. My first visit and definitely not last, choreography is amazing. Costumes are always flamboyant and exciting. Reasonable price too x GREAT SHOW.

We went to 3 different shows on our stay in Blackpool, I can genuinely say we had an amazing time, great laughs. Danced all night, can't wait to go back. Staff were amazing, the entertainment was fantastic, well done to all of you, you do an amazing job.

A great night out with the Country Legends. Excellent entertainment, very funny compare who struck just the right balance and had the audience in stitches. We were really pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. Staff were brilliant, from the warmth of the welcome on entry to the table and waiting staff, very professional engaged. Well done, we will definitely be back. Retired couple, still having a good time so it's not just for the youngsters.

SCAMMERS Don't use PRE ORDER. Conveniently on the night got a text saying food & drinks cancelled. TOM then charged DEARER to reorder on the night, that's just the way it is !!! Still no reply from phone call with DAN who was going to speak to his Manager, as not showing up on his system !!! Given the order number, email confirmation, pre order messages, receipts from the night. YET NO REPLY Despicable ripping people off on the night as you know they would order, as hungry. I've now written to the ombudsman, this is not acceptable to treat your customers this way, especially when they can provide all the proof of pre-payments, receipt from on the night & order number which SUDDENLY not showing on their system !!! Not impressed, very very poor customer service !!!!

Fantastic night at through the decades, leye was amazing, so funny and really didnt care who he offended. The singers were fab, something for every age. Well worth a visit.

The show was really good, the service wasn't terrible, the new munchies chinese box was absolutely gorgeous! But me and my partner had to leave early because the seats are so incredibly uncomfortable that we was both in pain, so missed an hour of the show after paying £60 for tickets and £40 for food and drink. If people are going to be sat down at tables for around 4 hours, you need to upgrade the chair! The chairs was too low, as my partner is tall her knees were really uncomfortable and my our backsides really hurt! We went home in agony to say the least.

Went to see voules vous the abba experience, a fantastic show, a must go for Abba fans and music lovers. Another brilliant show at viva Blackpool. The performers were top notch and Toby also appears in the Broadway show another must see show at viva

Fantastic day at viva for bottomless brunch highly recommend will definitely be back.

Esta fue mi cuarta visita y me encantó. La música, el ambiente. Recomiendo totalmente a cualquiera que esté visitando Blackpool para comprobar Viva. El comparador, que en realidad es el propietario, es absolutamente brillante, se involucra con el público y los actos son excelentes.

What a great night made to feel welcome from the time you entered the door thank you all had a great night

We went to see the show tonight all the musicals it was amazing completely fun packed and all the singers were amazing

I never been in your venue before but on Sunday I had a fantastic night from the moment we arrived until your show finished congratulations to all your staff i Will be coming again thank you

Absolutely fantastic night great atmosphere top service wonderful acts. Definitely revisit bravo all. X

Entertainment was great have been 3 nights in row this week enjoyed each night.staff very helpful and polite lots to eat if you want.

Went 3nights in a row what great entertainment and staff very polite and helpful

Fantastic evening. We had 3 course meal before and the food was great. The staff are friendly and helpful. The table service is a bit slow but it is a busy venue and you can go to the bar. The band were amazing

Love Viva Blackpool. Been a couple of times and really enjoyed both evenings. Great venue, friendly staff and exceptional value for money. There's an evening for everyone. Highly recommend

Fabulous food . Fabulous service the staff are so so nice at viva . The host and team are amazing a great nights entertainment. Something for everyone. See you soon Viva

Fabulous show. Great atmosphere and friendly, courteous staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Highly recommend to others

My first visit and will definitely be going back next time I'm in Blackpool. The show I saw was the decades rewind. The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. The guy at the door, the welcoming and floor staff, the entertainers and the bar staff were all really friendly, super efficient and all did their roles with a smile on their face. The owner of the venue who fronted the show was fantastic and hilarious. It's a great looking, well set up modern clean venue. It's seems everyone working here really enjoys it and the entire team appear to have a great working relationship

Great Entertainment lovely venue nice staff and friendly

We loved it so much we went 2 days in a row. Both shows were brilliant. We all sang and danced the night away. It was amazing. The service was quick and the staff all had welcoming smiles. The shows were energetic and performed to a very high standard. I've seen shows from Newcastle to London and both shows, Viva Broadway and Viva Rewind, could easily hold us own in the west end. We'll be back at Viva next year when we're in Blackpool.

Have just had 2 fabulous nights at Viva Blackpoolwith 3 friends. 6/8/24 for Broadway musicals, the cast are fantastic and very talented. Laye D Jon is brilliant and very funny. I went for my 60th Birthday and got some stick from Laye D Jon it was great to be part of the show. We enjoyed it so much we went again on the 7/8/24 this time for Decades Rewind, yet again the cast were fab, how they do all the choreography and make all the costumes themselves is amazing. You will have a fantastic time whatever show you go to see here. Table service is good and quick. Food was nice, a bit pricey but worth it.

Went 6/8/24for the Broadway musical show.. WOW WOW WOW Amazing. How they manage to fit all the songs and choreography into the time is outstanding. The compere Leye D Jon he's just fabulous. I went with 3 friends, one of which was celebrating her 60th. She got a mention and free drink. Plus few shout outs during the show.. we enjoyed it that much we went back the following evening to see the Decades Rewind show WOW WOW WOW again music from the here and now to 90s and 80s again so memorable.will definitely be going back. Have seen Jersey Beats there also and again WOW WOW WOW. So professional in all they do.. the table service for drinks was good. Couldn't comment on the food as we didn't have any. Well worth a visit.

2nd time at Viva. What a smashing venue....Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and the singers and dancers were top class. Would highly recommend the Abba Show.

Poor, poor, poor absolutely shocking service. Pre-ordered Food & drink for a show at the beginning of July despite getting the attention of numerous members of staff who promised to bring food to us. The venue was packed out & staff clearly overwhelmed. I emailed customer services the next day for a refund... eight emails and loads of phone calls later still no refund. Not one of my emails have been acknowledged despite customer services saying they had been received. I am disgusted will never go to this place again. So watch out people.

My partner surprised me with tickets for my birthday and was not disappointed. Welcomed and looked after as soon as we walked in by phil who is a complete gentleman. Food was amazing and filling. The show was fantastic and Leye D Jones is a natural entertainer. Not only were they all fantastic entertainer but came out after show to have a drink with us and were humble and genuine lovely people. Thank you for bringing back such lovely memories of my dad taking me to see his good friends cannon and ball. You have warmed my heart this weekend i couldnt stop smiling. Absolutely fantastic night.

We saw an ABBA tribute here last week and I was left with mixed feelings My wife really liked it but a combination of no table service, no air conditioning, and an abba tribute which could have been more of a tribute than a parody left me thinking it was an expensive night out Perhaps with AC and table service I may have been more impressed with “abba” My wife wants to go and see another act there so I expect we’ll go again…

Fantastic Michael Jackson tribute show with CJ would highly recommend 👌 well organised service but girls at the bar didn't look happy 😉

Food shocking sent a meal back 3 times in the end just said don't even want it. Microwaved and over priced. Minging

Absolutely fab would travel from Leeds just for the night because they are the biggest buzz ever!

Went to see 2 shows in blackpool this week both were amazeing loved the abba one on Thursday night

Went there to see a show. A member of staff showed us to our seats, only for another to come and move us to seat someone else. He wasn't interested even when shown on the seat map that we were in the right place to begin with. The bar staff in general were uninterested and didn't serve in any discernible order. The score would have been far lower but for one member of staff. 'Mema' is professional, friendly and incredibly conscientious. She alone boosted the score, and had it been based on just her it would have been 5s across the board. She couldn't do more to help and is the standard the others should aspire to.

Came to watch Jim Davidson... didn't know what to expect, but I was very pleasantly pleased. We ordered dinner before the show, and some of it was basic food, but the steak and ale pie was absolutely delicious.... I didn't know whether I would eat it, but when it came, I couldn't stop. The drinks are NOT cheap, but they need to make money, so just be prepared. The venue was huge and a great view of the stage from all angles. The staff were all professional and swift. It's up stairs, so unsure whether it caters to disability chair users or not.

Superb night. Food slow to come out. Host Phil was outstanding xx

Absolute nightmare place, 4 of us flew in from Northern Ireland and they cancelled the night 4pm the night before with no time to find a replacement. Disgusted doesn't go far enough and their email was a shambles.

Here to see, Jim Davidson, preceded with a mediocre karaoke singer and some records. Well,below part! Jim usually has another comedian with him. Definitely not VFm.

A must visit excellent night out brilliant show and top performance excellent service very friendly staff 💯

Didn't start well as we weren't given a table even though we booked six weeks ago, but the staff sorted it eventually, especially Phil. Ended up being a great night for a George Michael tribute

Good night out for an older family or group of friends. Limited drinks choice. Staff work tirelessly to please.

We went to see jersey beats in viva Blackpool it was a brilliant night, the food was great and so was the show , the staff were amazing and nothing was to much trouble for them , they worked really hard x

We had a wonderful night , with a delicious meal and great entertainment

Fabulous entertainment so helpful and professional thankyou

What a fun night out. We went to the Viva Broadway show on a Thursday and had a fantastic time, the host is hilarious and charismatic the singers were out of this world I honestly was not expecting such powerful voices. I can't comment on th food as we did not eat there but the waiter service was great as was the service at the bar. I got a pint of cider for £5.50 which isn't bad for today's prices. The atmosphere was electric people were singing along waving their arms and clapping it's just a good fun family night out, that doesn't take itself too seriously, great for us as a couple too great value for money in my opinion as I say the performances were great, there was a greatest showman section with (a bit of) acrobatics, there was a powerful singer blasting out some ofnthe harder part of wicked and Chicago.Well be going back tk see one of there other performances for sure.

Absolutely brilliant no queuing at.bars friendly staff.If you.like the.four seasons go and see the jersey beats all the show was brilliant

Watched the Viva Broadway show on 27/6/24. What a fantastic show start to finish. We didn’t eat food as I have some dietary issues but what others were eating looked great. Drinks reasonably priced. Would like some confectionary though which isn’t available. This would be a great addition. The show was one of the longest I’ve ever seen. Costumes stunning and clear that money invested to make this a great event. Cast talented and gave 110%. We brought the £21.95 tickets on the day and they didn’t disappoint. Seats on one level but no issues with a view as is a small venue. Would highly recommend. Great inexpensive night out. Thank you everyone.

Great night watching Gordon Hendricks

Viva is not nice place it’s expensive and rude staff and same danceing it’s so boring me my husband won’t be going thier again

What a fantastic venue, had an amazing afternoon of cocktail making and karaoke. The staff were brilliant, friendly and helpful. Food was great. Would highly recommend for your fun afternoon. Well done staff

What a fantastic venue to attend to see your favourite acts or just for entertainment great beer and service treated like your special from the minute you arrive been several times now wheelchair friendly and lift to show floor or escalator /stairs for the more able. If visiting blackpool check what's on well worth it.

Had a great night celebrating Eurovision. The host was fantastic and made everyone feel at home. Quickly adjusted to a new style of show and kept the night going. We had a great time and can't wait for next year!

My husband & myself went to the Viva tonight to watch Voleus Vous for my birthday weekend. Absolutely loved it well done to everyone who really made my birthday special.

We didn't have any food when we were there as we ate earlier and so I can't rate it, but everyone that did have food on the night seemed to enjoy it. I was there last Wednesday with my fiance to celebrate my birthday, we both enjoyed the performance and are glad we went even after travelling all day.

Amazing little venue. Staff was great and very friendly and helpful. Came to watch Magic Men Australia, the men didn't disappoint and neither did the venue. Took us 5 hours to get here as we came from down south but we will be back next year for sure.

Really fun venue for a show. Drinks are majorly watered down, so many "barcardis" between us and we were walking in a straight line

Absolutely incredible venue & even better entertainment. I have been numerous times to Viva and I will keep coming back. The cast, the bar staff, the waitresses are absolutely incredible and you can really see how hard they work. I most recently attended the ABBA Bottomless brunch, for the first time at Viva and I highly recommend. The food is lovely, staff will not see you with an empty glass and the cast are just phenomenal getting involved and dancing with the audience. If you’re ever in Blackpool, definitely go and see a show at Viva :)

Well what can I say? Was our 1st time at VIVA and it won't be the last (despite Leye being unable to pronounce my name haha. He tried tho so 10/10 for making an effort lol). How did i not know about you before? Spring Spectacular (3rd April) was indeed spectacular, brilliant and fun. Such hard working talented singers and cast. Non stop entertainment from start to finish. Enjoyed every minute and will definitely be back. Food was fab too. Perfect night out! Thank you! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ xxx

Absolutely brilliant, we have attended 4 shows, the latest being 'Viva - Spring Spectacular. The cast were fantastic as always. Staff were attentitive and worked very hard to keep all guests happy - big shout out to 'Tom' and 'Jake' - you are amazing. Best night out in Blackpool. We are excited to return in July and November to watch more outstanding performances 😊

Great night out good food good people

First time here for ABBA tribute show didn't disapoint just like the old times.

To be honest a very disappointing trip and venue. VIP was ridiculous joke badly organised luckily the two legends made it bearable (lovely guys) one cubicle toilet for men qué was embarrassing and a venue this size there should be rules against that. Some good staff members and some unacceptable pathetic poor excuse of trash staff members. Would not rush back

I love this venue. All the staff are so friendly and helpful, lovely and chatty, however the one's I got to know over the 3 nights I was at this venue were Rhiannon, Tom, Abbie, Jake and Paul - Thank you for making an already amazing weekend even more fun. The service is great the food is really tasty and so convenient to have whilst waiting for the sow to start.

Absolutely brilliant night out at viva highly recommended the shows are amazing the staff are amazing and leye d Johns is a fantastic host if you do go to Blackpool head to viva it won't disappoint

Second bottomless brunch here and both amazing. The singers are great and entertaining , the foods great and big shout out to Tom who’s looked after us both times and made sure our drinks were topped up and that we were happy. Thanks Tom !!

Fantastic Celine Dion tribute show

Visited Viva to watch Taylor Swift Harry Styles and take advantage of their 3 course meal beforehand. Got to say we had a fantastic experience the venue looks and feels like your in a Las Vegas! (I should know been to Vegas many times) Great atmosphere! fantastic staff! Make you feel special and the meal was well presented and exceptional. The show was amazing the acts involve the audience I could see we all were having a Blast! Truly worth the money!! Take advantage of the half price parking it's so convenient and easy to park. Will be looking for which show to go to next as this place Rocks! Well worth a night out!

Just returned back down to Kent. I made a special trip especially up to viva in Blackpool to see the legendary Jim Davidson. What an amazing night. First time I ever been to this venue and it was first class, lovely staff, clean and tidy and great atmosphere and value for money too, highly recommend and I will definitely be going back

We went with family on New Year’s Eve, the food was amazing, staff were lovely, great entertainment just absolutely brilliant…. The only downfall was as the night went on we had dirty toilets, no glass collector so had to take our own glasses to the bar. We waited 1 hour between starter and main but overall highly recommend x

Paid for front seats. Fantastic show, Leye D Johns was very very funny and plenty of entertainment. Drinks were served at the table and I did not need to wait. Tom who took the drinks orders, recognised us from other shows we had been to and was very pleasant talking to us. Decided to have the food this time which was fantastic. Looking forward to the next show

Been a couple of times and also going back in 2024. It’s a lovely venue, with great atmosphere. Food is absolutely delicious. Only one issue which is minor. They say you can order drinks to your table, which you can. However, it’s difficult to catch the eye of server because there isn’t many of them. So we just went to the bar. All in all a brilliant evening out.

Poorly trained SIA door staff. after a couple of hours at at works Christmas Party, I went to the Gents to find a Man with a door open at the end of the toilets' Could have been a janitor!. He asked me to pop in for a random Drug search. I asked to see his badge and he told me. he seen me selling drugs!!!! I said I would have a public search with the Manager present. He told me he need to search me in the toilets. again I said lets go to a public place. He then radio for back up and told me the Manager was downstairs. i went down stair and their was only a ticket sell. i left to stop any distress to my company. the door staff member then asked the other door man to check the upper floor then started to verbally abuse me on the door and point to the camera. He still refused to state his ISA badge number. I have tanned skin.

Was there last night had the best time ever entertaining show very friendly staff can't wait to go again

Very nice venue. Ordered food from the menu to be delivered to the table. I was pleasantly surprised that it was lovely and good sized portions. We ordered extra chips as the wrap doesn’t say it comes with chips, the tables next to us done the same so maybe the menu needs updated to say chips included. I ignored the negative reviews I seen online and tried the food for myself. Have passed this venue many times and now wish I had booked here before and certainly will again. Staff are very friendly and polite.

Adult panto was the worst thing I have ever been to, just awful, the so called acting was terrible, it wasn't funny in the slightest, the sound was awful, you couldn't understand what they were saying half the time. Lots of people left at the interval. Don't waste your money like we did.
