Easy to get to, easy to get into and great acoustics but has to be the hottest venue I've been to in a long long time shorts and t shirt is the order of the day if your seeing something that is sold out.
Old building with history seeping out of its cracks. Nice as expected!
Good gig, good sound nice high stage so everybody can see. 2 tier lower ground so you can stay out of the mosh pit or to get a great view. Beer stupid prices but lots of staff so the wait isnt crazy
Went and saw LP here last week and found it to be a really good venue. We had the seating area tickets and they is a bar at the top of that area which I thought was really good.
Went to an AJR concert. Lovely staff, fast service.
Can be very crowded with long lines to coat check,bar,etc
Choice of standing or seating for a very similar price, great place to see live bands, venue is not too big or too small just right.
Good venue, but queue far too long, even with tickets
Good venue, good sound, great view. Easy to get to. Queuing outside is open to the elements though.
Well organised and Steve Tyler is one of the best artists I ve ever watched!! Fantastic night!
Amazing location, easy access, brilliant event staff.
Good old venue for size and sound but terrible bar setup - clearly can't cope with large crowds. Not enough bartenders and the cash only bar isn't sensible, and should be clearly signed to avoid disappointment.
Awesome venue with friendly, professional staff. A great view if you need to be seated upstairs and gorgeous architecture. Drinks are ok priced for a venue and toilets are relatively clean. Acoustics are great for live music too.
Always a great venue to visit.
Shockingly high prices
No ticket checks, four of us just walked straight in!!
Decent prices, and beers.
I was called a c**t by staff as it tried to leave the venue. They shoved and pushed me and my boyfriend into other customers to try and force us along the heavily packed out pavement. Horrible
Good venue overall. Stage is rather small so larger productions will not be as good as at other venues
There is a bar where you can buy drinks.
Balcony has good seats and good views of stage
Parking is a pain so best to access the venue through the tube system
Bezt nite ov mi l1fe #stickyfingers #willandthepeople
Saw new model army. Best band at one of the best venues
Awful venue. Cramped with an expensive bar and terrible sound. Also frequented by pickpockets so watch your phone in the back pocket. Nasty.
I love this venue! Very good relaxed layout and great acoustics
Worked as part of the Club de Fromage team at Kentish. Great staff, good venue, cracking night. Would go back
No air conditioning very hot in there if loads of people.
I saw The Twang here and loved the gig and venue. I sat up stairs in the stalls. The first 3 rows near the rails were sitting only. Behind that you could stand or there was loads of standing room down stairs. If you want to dance and get in the thick of it, I'd recommend booking tickets for down there.
Security staff are very nice, some seem to have a power complex.
Drinks are expensive and lacking of verify, served in plastic cups with no ice or slice.
Staff are always nice here, sound quality isn't great though. Still a great place to see a band.
Brilliant concert venue. Friendly door staff. Two bars and good sound quality.
First visit to this venue, extremely hot with little to no ventilation/air con. Dry ice OTT. Has put me off attending another gig here.
Always a great venue to visit. Although the drinks are a bit expensive the atmosphere makes up for it.
sickest nite of my life when I SEEN NINES. MAN BROUGHT OUT SL, NOTES, AJ TRACEY, JESSE FROM SE, SKRAPZ OBVZ, UNKNOWN T. LEVELS.
Great venue. Good size and pretty decent accoustics from my position.
Had a great time, an old theatre converted so still some old features. Cosy atmosphere
I've been here a couple of times and the sound is always too loud and sounds distorted. The toilets aren't great and the queues for the bars are always long. Compared to other venues in London, it's not great.
It s not very big place but still good for attending some concerts. It s better to book place for balcony as there are only seats on the balcony and very good view over the scene . Reservation is required for balcony.
Excellent old theatre building, repurposed as a gig venue, 3 minutes walk from Kentish Town Rail/tube station
A great music venue, hence the 5*. Shame about the beer prices. Then there's my one pet hate of the no cash bars. So you take your money out to pay for the evening, then to only discover the venue doesn't accept it. Which is down right annoying as there are still a lot of people that use cash.
The view from the balcony was unrestricted and I had an amazing night. The staff were lovely and I wouldn't hesitate to go again.
Smaller than expected, was good fun tho. Sound system could be better! Drinks should be cheaper
I'd never been to a concert abroad and this was my first time to see Godsmack on 02/27/19. Such a cosy but not really big place that has seats on the balcony. Of course I wanted to dance during the concert but at least I didn't have to jostle in a huge crowd of people. So it made a very good impression.
Excellent live music venue, friendly staff and good views of the stage from all areas.
Commercial choice of beers and strange acoustics but overall good venue
Cool venue, has an intimate feeling as you can get so close to the stage and see the stage from any point in the venue quite well.. I recently went to see Highly Suspect here, I know this may not necessarily be the venues fault but the mix for that gig was incredibly loud. It was difficult to hear all the instruments and vocals clearly, and I did come out with temporary tinnitus at the end but this is probably down to the touring sound engineers with the band and not the venue it's self. Just something to bare in mind for future gigs.. And maybe ear plugs to be more accessible?
Wicked little venue in Kentish Town. Surprisingly large and the place is always rocking for gigs. There's always going to be queues for the bars but they have enough of them you're probably not going to be waiting that long.
having been independentlyand with my disabled friend Tim, I have always enjoyed my visits to the forum, the staff are always helpful and make sure the wheelchair access is great.
They put on a diverse range of gigs (I have seen Ginger and the wild hearts and De la Soul recently) and the space is good with out being so big that you are miles away from the band.
the wheelchair perch is particularly excellent offering good sound and great line of sight.
Large venue but still intimate. Toilets are a mess but variety of drinks
Decent sized venue with good sound from anywhere you stand/sit. The staff weren't that helpful though.
Great venue for gigs.....if you don't like being crushed on ground level go upstairs for seating....my choice is standing at the top. Loads of space & bar directly behind! Very civilised!
The staff is helpful and crowd service is very helpful!
The atmosphere is great and there are places inside to get drinks from. It's spacious and you have a good view from every angle
Have seen two concerts here and both have been very good. Acoustically very good, even when on the raised section just inside the doors. Bars are easy enough to get to even when busy. And had a very good night each time been there.
Very busy queing up to see Day6, and a bit disorganised, but once we get to the door security was swift. Awesome experience of the concert. Quick to exit, and close to the underground station. Also not far from Camden Market. Would like to come here again depending on who is performing
Mid sized music venue with good views and facilities close to Kentish Town station
Good places to sit with easy access to a bar but drinks can be pricey.
Great venue. Looks really good, excellent sound set up and decent bars. Can t fault this at all
Very nice venue but queues to get in were very long, could be managed better
Excellent Condition. Brilliant View From Seating Area
