The Hertford Corn Exchange Reviews

Had a blinding night at the green onions soul night. Staff are always top notch and a good atmosphere all night. Will always make time for this club night

Great gig, basic venue, cracking for the band, could do with more than one card machine, and a cloakroom! Otherwise really good

Not the best music venue as its a bit too dark in here

They have some great bands on. Friendly staff with s good atmosphere.

Brilliant Rutles gig. Venue's got all that you need.

Just seen AC/DC tribute 'Live Wire' there, great venue for live music!!

Upstairs is a music venue, seems to specialise in the best tribute bands. Now seen livewire an ACDC tribute and Let's Zep both fantastic musicians and brilliant covers bands

Great location for hosting private events and live bands. Lots of space and friendly bar staff with added security.

Dirty!!!!
Band fantastic, toilets and glasses forget it...

Great space. Friendly bar, sometimes with keg ale. Good acoustics. What more do you want?

Great Venue used by a number of professional artists. Some facilities in need of upgrade but doesn't detract from authentic feel

Good fun place, usually a mixed crowd.
As with anything, it's how you feel and who you are with that will improve the experience.

The venue itself is historic and great. Music and bars are in need of improvement. Scored low as sound system failed for 15 minutes when last visited.

Plenty of events, warm and cosy with plenty of space, a spruce up inside decor would look a treat, but very friendly staff and very helpful.

Good venue with a bar, although a little tatty but it suits the theme of the place.

Get place for a gig - Limehouse lizzy was brilliant

Good music floor to wet my daughter hurt her self fell over . Should stop people taking drink on the dance floor .

Needs a little facelift but otherwise good pub priced drinks

Great venue but drink is quite pricey for Hertford.

Saw a great gig here when the Special Ltd played in Nov 19. The staff were great but the venue is really in need of a little TLC!

Great venue for live music with a raised stage and decent PA system.

Great venue right in the town center massive bar with really nice down to earth staff the 80s night is a must if you like that type of thing also been there for many bands and other events the sound is booming the lighting is groovy the door staff friendly so all round and great place for a night out something on every week so check there website or Facebook

Went to a venue here a few weeks ago and it was a great night, the atmosphere was brilliant plus the bar staff worked very hard and could not be more helpful .... especially Kayleigh, she was very friendly and always served us with a smile, even though she was run off her feet.
Thank you for making our evening more enjoyable

Great venue for live music please don't let it be sold off for flats

Decent venue, horrid toilets, drinks far too expensive.

Live music venue. Spacious, but nothing special. Dirty toilets.

Went for the 80s night. Was a nice little venue overall. Bit run down in places but it almost adds to the charm

A decent music venue. Drinks are severely over priced, but apparently that's what all the bars charge this close to London. I say 'seriously' because I actually live nearer to London that this venue and I pay less for a pint than they charge for a single measure of spirit.

Love this venue! Theres nowhere else locally that you can go to see decent live music!

A good old fashioned laugh and a knees up. Just like the 80s.

The venue is quite good but the bogs are horrible. Occasionally have some good live music but mainly tribute acts.

Small venue but large bar proportionally. Reasonable range of alcohol on tap, but only one cask ale on and it's quality can vary in my experience. That said, I like to support my local live music venue, and I've seen some quality bands including Limehouse Lizzy, The Blockheads (both numerous times) Larry Miller and UK Subs amongst others. Always has a full diary of acts to go and see, whether original artists or tribute acts. Support your local venue I say, otherwise you'll lose it! Ample parking in the town, all of which is only a short walk away and free after 6:30pm. Thanks Hertford Corn Exchange for keeping music live in Hertford.

Fantastic music venue, really enjoyed Ultimate Coldplay tonight

Nice venue but it's Crying out for building work and makeover

Great comedy night. You guys can come back again. Best night out in Hertford

I have been to the Hertford Corn Exchange a couple of times with my music school and also with the Guitar club. As a venue for live music its pretty good - small enough to be intimate but it does have a proper large raised stage. Drinks seem okay and I found the bar staff to be more genuine and more friendly than most. The only weird one is their signs which suggest that if you are drinking you are not allowed away from the Bar Area...

TOp venue doesn't need to do anymore

the uptown club monthly 80s video discos are amazing

Good venue for small gigs and some good cover bands on, but beer is terrible!

It's not the most salubrious of settings, though there is historical context ( The Who played here in 60's) but offers great entertainment and is an important venue for Hertford

A great place for a gig
There is no light in the disabled access elevator
Had to use my phone light

We saw "The Specials" tribute band. They were brilliant and cannot fault them.

However, I do have a couple of issues with the venue. I think the men's and women's toilets could be better displayed rather than the small sign on the door that always seemed to be wide open, hence watching men wonder into the women's toilets.

Also, I noticed that the fire door to the upstairs hall was being propped open by a fire extinguisher.



I would go back if some other gig catches my eye. Hopefully these minor issues would be resolved for the health and safety of the customer and staff.

Could be a great venue - if they cleaned the bogs occasionally and had more original acts. Mainly just tribute bands, yawn.
