Viva in Blackpool

Second time at the viva absolutely fantastic the big fat puff lol what a laugh the show was brilliant and all the staff were very professional definitely going again.

The big fat puff is funny, will defo come back, the wife is already planning her next girl's night out. Brilliant night out.

This was my fourth visit and I loved it. The music, the atmosphere. Totally recommend to anyone who is visiting Blackpool to check Viva out. The compare, who is actually the owner, is absolutely brilliant, he engages the audience and the acts are superb.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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

Fabulous entertainment so helpful and professional thankyou

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

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.

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.

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

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

Love Viva. Great shows, lovely staff and a lively environment. Visited last night (Jim Davidson's show), couldn't stop laughing. Seen a few shows now, 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.

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.

We did the decades on Saturday 4th November and what an experience absolutely bloody brilliant loved it from start to finish.The singers dancers were amazing everything was just perfect will definitely be back thank you for a amazing evening.

The show was has been amazing the singer and host are fantastic oh what a night fantastic.

Went with friends last night to see the Musicals show. Can only give the show Five Stars. It was very entertaining. The Cast were excellent. Staff were lovely. Only downside was we thought drink prices were a little overpriced.

We had a great night watching the hits from musical shows on tuesday evenings. The female singers were especially good and all the costumes were great. We would highly recommend this show.

We party of 9 went Friday ( Peter kay) and Saturday 80s and 90s served by lovley tom ..yes its me with the water lol .. Been honest Peter kay was bit flat but act before him was fabulous Saturday a was fabulous ..thanks again Tom for looking after us we will be back

Have been here numerous times and been very happy I've tried to order food from the menu given on the website and I ordered cheesy chips pizza order submitted and confirmed I then received a phonecall from viva to inform me you can only order stonebaked pizza and nothing else stated on the menu so why advertise this I'm sorry but this menu is very misleading and needs updating

Always a great atmosphere at viva staff very friendly and the food (what I've had) is very good

Myself and my family saw this show yesterday 1st October and now we have the bug for it can't wait to see it again we sat front stage and they were all amazing

Brilliant show, lovely venue, staff very attentive and the food was fantastic. Great night out

What an amazing night. This was our first visit to Viva despite living in St Annes for 2 years . We have been missing out on a fantastic venue. We went to see the Decades rewind show. It is a lovely venue with friendly helpful staff on reception and in the venue itself . The layout is ideal with decent views of the stage from all tables. The host of the show Leye D Johns is hilarious and outrageous and immediately engages with the audience Now onto the show . WOW . It was incredible . The singing was excellent, the choreography amazing with multiple fabulous costume changes and the backdrop was fantastic. I have seen many shows over the years and can honestly say that this was the most professional, well thought through and entertaining show I have been lucky to see. We will definitely be visiting on a regular basis now as they have a wide variety of shows available throughout the year Highly recommended

Great place great fun with friends. The host was very entertaining. The singing and dancing was very good. All around a good night. It's cheap enough and must not be missed

Night started off well with my wife and 18yr old daughter.Until my daughter was asked for ID.She had just turned 18 and had no proof except me and my wife but this wasn’t enough.Drink was removed from my daughter which when challenged staff member didn’t want to listen.What was meant to be a celebration of my birthday turned into a emotional and embarrassing nightmare.Left venue and so disappointed that what was a good end to a weekend was a disaster. Night entertainment was so good up until then bought loads of merchandise for the evening,hats,feathers scarves ? Please be careful to make sure your siblings carry ID….

Myself and my wife had such a brilliant evening of a lovely dinner, then a fantastic show with an amazing cast, thank you everyone for making it happen. We'll recommended .

This show is run by Lee who has been doing shows in Blackpool for 30 years. The sheer amount of thought and work put into the performance was mind boggling. These people are working above and beyond anything I have seen to make 1000s of people happy. They are role models from what I can see. Before I went to Blackpool I heard it was full of rough people and people who have addictions. I dont know how those people can lay on the floor on dirty clothes having given up on life when there are inspiring people in Blackpool like Lee and his team showing how many increedible and wonderful things you can achieve. Every moment of this guys show was so empowering. This guy is probably thinking after 30 years its not got the same power but Im telling him. Lee, your show changes people lives. Its not just entertainment. Its a model for living!

Wow, had an amazing night, had a night in Blackpool specially to come and see the Country and Western Show. We decided to have the 3 course meal before the show as well and it was all amazing. The food was superb, the staff were all lovely and the show was outstanding. We left on a high, really pleased with the whole night. The acts were so realistic and the music well chosen. The compere was a hoot too. We will be back for more soon. Thank you.

Brilliant night great service, great show my boyfriends birthday so really looked after him 😊 will defo be back. Thank you

It’s alright for somewhere to go on an evening but it’s way way overpriced for what it is . I didn’t think there was much of an atmosphere , just sat at a table waiting for it to start then just came on , hardly any lighting , no introduction or attempt to liven the room up, just a smoke machine from an old night club , I can’t explain it , the venue just felt spacious and lacking , staff were friendly but they were just there to make money for the company . It’s something you’d get for free really at a caravan site but tbh even then I think they are probably livelier than this . Food was diabolical , I paid 20 pound for what seemed like the cheap one pound pizzas you get at supermarkets , there also wasn’t much choice on the menu either Response to vivas response Sorry you feel it’s insulting but it’s how I felt you can’t say them pizzas are good , 20 Pound they cost , impression I got was the place is stuck in the past a bit .it’s a case of getting drunk to make the most of it . I can’t actually fault the staff though at all they were friendly and helpful , I should have wrote that in the above .

Absolutely fantastic night, the show was amazing, couldn't help but sing along & dance, the service for our pichers was fab too didn't have to wait long at all, would highly recommend

The Viva Broadway show is amazing! We were singing all night long and the quality of the performances are fantastic and funny in parts too which lightens the mood. We had a front row table which offered the perfect close up view of the stage. You can also get food and drinks ordered to your table.

My wife and I went to the Country Legends show last night. The performers were absolutely fabulous. Great vocals and entertainment. But unfortunately not what I could say about the compere. His 'routine ' was outdated and offensive, continually calling himself a 'poof' and making references to sleeping with other men. He picked on people in the audience and even young members if staff. There were children in the audience. Grow up sir.This was NOT an adult rated show. However, he was only on stage once or twice. The night belonged to the fantastic group of 4 vocal artistes. Thank you to them for a great night.

Love it here, have been to a few different shows. We watched the Peter Kay tribute tonight, which wasn't great. But the actual shows that viva put on themselves are really good. The jersey beats are fantastic and their variety act is fab. The staff are really nice people, very friendly. Tom was a sweetheart bless him.

Absolutely amazing night we saw the decades rewind. Will be coming back for sure.

We came Saturday night for the decade rewind show and it was fantastic. The music was amazing and the show was really well presented. There was a great atmosphere and everyone was welcomed to dance and sing. We would definitely recommend 🤩🤩🤩🤩

What an absolute nightmare We were in the smaller room all you could hear was the 90s revival racket! Food is vile and they charge double if you pre book btw! Amateur show horrible atmosphere avoid avoid avoid Big viva rip off

Firstly the room the performance was in was beautiful decorated and our seats were placed with plenty of room to view the stage. Husband went to the bar and quickly noticed no price lists on display so ordered 2 pints of lager, one with a dash of lemonade. He nearly fell away when he handed over a £10 note and was told he needed to pay another £1.40! When he came back to the table and told me, I googled a bar price list to find one that said pints were £3,95, so he went back to the bar to query to be told he had been charged correctly. We slowly drank the pints making them last till the break. The show itself was totally terrible, it was like the 3 performers were singing together for the first time. This was clearly audible from the first song as one of them was out of key and sang flat. When he sang on his own he sounded fine as there was nobody to make him sound bad!!! Guys kept disappearing leaving one on stage which didn’t give true Motown sounds as Motown is all about the harmonies. We left at the break, so don’t know if they got any better, maybe they did. We were so disappointed especially after paying to see the show and looking forward to it for weeks. There was actually better entertainment in the hotel and we should have stayed there to watch that.

Fantastic night at Viva, celebrating a family birthday. Top quality service and drinks but entertainment the absolute highlight - superb performers. Would highly recommend.

We went to see the Country and Western evening which was fabulous on 4th July….what an evening…. The entertainment was just fabulous. Food just ok but would not eat again.

Went here to watch the show this evening (2/7/23) & had 3 course meal as well. I had the starter,garlic mushrooms, main course was salmon with noodles & dessert was chocolate brownie, my husband had pork belly bites for starter, chicken breast with mushroom sauce & new York cheesecake. All was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent & the staff were very helpful. The show was very entertaining. Excellent dancers & singers. Kept us entertained from start to finish. A very big 👏 to them all. Loved 😍 every min of it. Worth every penny. Well done to every single person there. 👏👏👏

The food is absolutely amazing 👏 Very friendly staff & what can we say about the venue apart from its an amazing place to go for an evening out 👍 the entertainment was brilliant (big 👏 👏👏👏 to the performers)

Me and my mum want to thank John and all the staff for a fab night out she had a brilliant birthday we want to thank jake as well and the young boy sorry can't remember your name as you know I had pina colada cocktails 😀 which went straight to my head but they were gorgeous and the malibu and lemonade made to perfection so thank you ever so much well see you soon 😊

We went to the new "Viva… Broadway! From Stage to Silver Screen" show last night and wow, what a fabulous performance! The singers and dancers are at the top of their game and the digital sets, props and costumes brilliant. We went as a group of four and agreed that it was a West End worthy night out. Reception/meet and greet staff were friendly and helpful. Only negative feedback is the QR code drink ordering sytem wasn't working and if you want a half pint of cider/lager it's only £1 cheaper than a pint (and no, it's not £2 a pint).

I would just like to give a shout out to the young lady Emma from havein our first drink in viva bar down stairs to then at the show on the evening ,she deserves a medal nothing was too much for her always checking to see if we was OK.the show from beginning to the end was fantastic. X Thank you Emma.x

I took my daughter to see Back to the 80s DJ set with Martin Kemp... What a fabulous show, my daughter has special needs and from the security to the management everyone went above and beyond to make sure she had a truly unforgettable experience... Thank you...

Went to watch country legends fantastic show, great artists, great compare, staff were excellent very caring about the customers experience would come again

Me and my friend visited for the Eurovision evening. Absolute waste of money, the entertainment was just a list of shout outs, no jokes. For £21 a ticket we expected so much more. We didn’t even last the full night. We left half way though.

Terrible paid for VIP was a through away for staff taking food and drink and customers going to the toilet !! Was dodge the body to see the show don't pay VIP prices not worth it at all !!!!!!!!
