Roadmender Northampton

Pretty good saw Darts play sound equipment was so so but band smashing.... drinks reasonable for venue £4.90 a pint... Will go again as its just right amount of people.

First time at this venue. Saw The Darts and had a good time. Smoke machine is a bit much though when youre right at the front of the crowd🥴

Great little venue. We always have a great time. The sticky floor makes us laugh and takes us back 😂

Good venue, great staff and an excellent night out. Fully accessible and welcoming to all, good space to dance and loud, bassy sound system!! Even better if cloakroom was open and it was a bit busier, but pretty decent for a post-covid night out.

I don't live near Northampton so this was only my second visit. Went there for the Sweet on a Friday night (less I know, my musical tastes haven't evolved since I was about 12) and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. There's a large (and cheap) multi storey right next door so at least getting there by car is easy.

Evidently the main room holds up to 850 standing, which was a surprise to me as it looks a bit smaller. On the night I'd say it was about 80% full which is perfect from a punter's point of view. I imagine it would feel a bit claustrophobic when completely full but that's no different to many venues.

I managed to get a position a few rows back from the stage and from where I was standing, I couldn't fault the view or the sound.

There's a well stocked bar in the lobby area. As usual it's plastic glasses only, the floppy type that make it difficult not to spill your drink, but the prices weren't terrible for a music venue. I'd say about 30% above pub prices. All the staff I encountered were friendly and polite.

It's a decent, no frills, medium sized venue. Every town should have one Fair play to them for managing to keep it going for so long.

You can't have gigs for The Sweet and not have smattering of chairs!
This is a fabulous venue. Fantastic night out every time.

Great live music venue with good sound quality, friendly bar & security staff.

Quick bar service for volume of people and good amenities considering. Great small gig venue
