Claptrap The Venue

I adore the interior, the staff is helpful, and the live music is fantastic.

Yet another fantastic Christmas band night - filled with fun, a fabulous band, mince pies, and plenty of wine. It was an amazing evening.

Went to see some bands in Room At The Top...the smaller venue that is above Claptrap's main room. I have lost track of how many times I have been to see live music in the main Claptrap room, it's always been brilliant, atmosphere, comfort, decor, but especially the friendly staff and customers(it's a great place to go solo to gigs because it's full of friendly music loving people in my experience)...this was only my second time in the smaller upstairs room. Absolutely fantastic. Great room ,small , intimate but really stylish...and the sound was fantastic. The attention to detail by the Soundman (Sean a Co-Runner of the venue I believe) was beautiful to see/hear. Highly , highly recommend.I go to see lots of bands in many different small and large venues...I can't think of one that beats Claptrap or Room At The Top.

Attended a Blitz (New Romantic) night. Fab music. Bar staff were friendly and so was everyone who was there. Drink prices were reasonable. All going great until a group of 1920s dressed youngsters turned up at 11:30, they were already tipsy and were pushing people around without any manners. We gave up and left at midnight. Such a shame as I was really enjoying the night.

Great little club, good range of drinks too. Only £5 entrance.
