Not really got a worse as the band/gig make the night special.

I like the Picturedrome, Holmfirth and the Leadmill in Sheffield as i find them more intimate and a better atmosphere than bigger places.

Nottingham Rock City is a quality venue which generally draws big crowds and much cheaper beer prices than the £4 a pint O2 Academy rip off.

The Vic in Derby is a s*** hole but its our s*** hole and puts on some great bands plus is easy to sneak in free too so deserves a mention.

Best:

Brixton Academy (although the area is a bit dodgy, class venue though)
Manc Apollo/ deaf institute
Northampton Roadmenders
Mad Ferret, Preston

Worst:

Apart from the soulless arenas mentioned by most on here there are very few I'd call terrible.

Does anyone think the new Leeds Arena might be on peoples best list when it opens? I know most people (me included) dislike arena venues but with the different design the audience should be closer to the stage

Why is that, what are these design features?

this should explain it

"Fan shape"

I still think it will be too big to get any intimacy but should be a lot better than the likes of the MEN and sheffield arena.

The Star and Garter in Manchester a cracking little venue, very diy, very punk.

More than sure that's The Roadhouse.
A few fave venues over the years, as mentioned above The Star & Garter,Night & Day Café, Band On The Wall, The Ritz and The Wychwood in Ashton Under Lyne.
Worst has to be Academy 1 next door to Manchester Uni and Manchester Apollo before they had removable seats downstairs.
