I love the Roundhouse. They programme incredible acts and all the commercial work they do goes to support their charitable aims of developing promising young artists, musicians and writers. The spoken word programme is particularly good and poetry shows are always really well done. However! If you're going to see a gig there and you have standing tickets, I would hugely recommend getting in early to get a good spot. Though the venue isn't huge, the sightlines and acoustics aren't wonderful, so you can be not too far from the stage but still unable to see a thing, or it can feel like you're involved in the gig. Having said that, crowds there are usually quite polite, so if you do work your way forwards you'll have a great time.
Drinks are the usual expensive gig prices.
