Good Afternoon In response to this recent review of the venue, I must say we are somewhat surprised by the writers comments. Compared to other reviews here, it is clear that this serial complainer has an agenda. However lets give them the benefit of the doubt and respond to their accusations. Firstly, we are pleased that the band was to their liking. It is concerning on many levels that they feel the theatre should be demolished so that a better one be built in its place. Very strange, and surely somewhat of an overreaction! The comment of the band being drowned out by the volume of the speakers is a bit bizarre, as it is surely the band and singers which is amplified through the speakers? Re the “extremely dangerous steps” – this is a complete fabrication. We can assure the writer that the Alhambra is rigorously inspected on a yearly basis by all the relevant council authorities, including the fire officer, and fully complies with all current legislation. Glad to hear that he found most staff friendly and helpful, but disappointed he feels the bar staff “need a rocket”. With over 800 people in the theatre, of course the bars are going to be busy at the short interval. We are sorry if the customer felt the drinks were expensive, however it is not compulsory to buy drinks. We can only presume too that it was a pint of Blue Moon that the writer enjoyed – a naturally cloudy wheat beer. Lastly, I am not sure if the writer is aware, but the real Alhambra in Andalusia he refers to is not in fact a theatre, but a Moorish fortress, and as such likely does not have a bar.
