Alexandra Arms

Alexandra Arms

Verified
4.7(264 reviews)
93/100
The Alexandra Arms is a cracking little traditional pub in Kettering with top-notch beers and a welcoming feel – it's earned its stellar 4.7 rating for good reason, though it has a few quirks like variable hours.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on – they've got a brilliant range of cask ales and traditional brews that cater to all tastes, making it a real treat for any ale enthusiast.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming; you'll feel right at home as soon as you walk in, with that warm pub vibe that's hard to beat.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours can seem a bit inconsistent from what I've seen, which might leave you scratching your head if you're planning a visit and it doesn't quite match up.
  • Being a bit of a hidden gem, it might be tricky to find if you're not familiar with the area, so you could end up wandering around Kettering a tad longer than expected.

90/100
Kino Lounge in Kettering is a real treat – a cosy spot in a stunning old cinema with tasty food, friendly vibes, and some wallet-friendly deals that make it perfect for a relaxed get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on, with a brilliant range of options for everyone – think vegan, gluten-free, and even kids' menus, all done really well.
  • The staff are so friendly and attentive; they make you feel right at home and go the extra mile, like helping with bookings or allergies.
Areas for Improvement
  • Occasionally, special requests might not hit the mark, like if you ask for extra spice and it doesn't quite blend in as you'd hope.
  • It can get a bit busy at times, so you might have a short wait, even though they handle it pretty well overall.

The Old Market Inn

Verified
4.5(261 reviews)
89/100
The Old Market Inn in Kettering is a cracking little spot for a hearty meal and a relaxed drink, with top marks for food and service that keep folks coming back.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is an absolute delight, especially their Sunday roasts – think melt-in-the-mouth beef and perfectly crispy potatoes that hit the spot every time.
  • The staff are so friendly and attentive; they really make you feel welcome, whether you're popping in for a quick bite or a full meal.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours can be a bit confusing with varying closing times listed, and they tend to wrap up early around 5 or 6 PM, which might not suit those after a late-night session.
  • There haven't been any recent reviews in the last six months, so it's hard to say if things have stayed as brilliant as the older feedback suggests – always worth checking before you go.

Windmill Club is a welcoming little pub in Kettering with a great vibe for games and sports, though it has a couple of niggles that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, always making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • The place is spotlessly clean throughout, even the toilets – it's a real breath of fresh air in a pub setting.
Areas for Improvement
  • The toilets aren't as private as they could be, with broken locks that have been an issue for a while, which is a bit of a letdown.
  • It seems like there might not be much going on in terms of recent buzz, as there haven't been any new reviews in the last six months.

The Peacock is a cosy local pub in Kettering that's spot on for a relaxed meal or a fun night with mates, boasting brilliant breakfasts and a welcoming vibe, though you might want to keep an eye on those portion sizes.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, making it a great spot to unwind with friends over a pint or a meal.
  • The food, especially the breakfasts, gets rave reviews – think hearty portions and perfectly cooked eggs that hit the spot.
Areas for Improvement
  • Portion sizes can be a bit disappointing at times, like paying adult prices for what feels like kids' meals, which might leave you wanting more.
  • Some sides are pricey for what you get, and if there's an issue, the response from staff might not always feel as caring as you'd hope.

Aura Bar and Lounge is a cracking little cocktail spot in Kettering with top-notch drinks and a buzzing atmosphere, but its limited opening hours might leave you wanting more flexibility.

  • Friendly staff who create a welcoming vibe, always ready with a smile and helpful recommendations.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open two days a week, which can make it a bit of a faff to plan a visit and limits your options for a spontaneous night out.
  • No website listed, so it's not straightforward to check out the menu, events, or opening times online before heading over.

Park House in Kettering is a welcoming spot for a relaxed pint and bite with mates, offering cracking food and a friendly vibe, though it does have the odd service slip-up now and then.
Pros and Cons

Areas for Improvement
  • Service can sometimes drag, even on quieter days, which might leave you waiting a bit longer than you'd hope for your order.
  • They occasionally run out of popular dishes like roast turkey, which is a pity if you're set on something specific for your Sunday lunch.

Was not sure due to the location. But serves a decent pint. Very clean and tidy. Clean glasses like new. Bar and tables clean and tidy. The car park could do with some TLC but apart from that the pub...

The Warren is a welcoming pub in Kettering that's great for affordable, hearty meals and family outings, though it has its off moments with service and stock.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is brilliant value for money, with generous portions of classic comfort dishes that really hit the spot.
  • It's a lovely family-friendly spot with great amenities like outdoor play areas, plenty of parking, and even EV charging, making it easy to pop in for a relaxed meal.
Areas for Improvement
  • Occasionally, the food doesn't quite match up to the enticing pictures on the website, and they might run out of popular items like the Sunday roast, which can be a bit disappointing.
  • Service can be inconsistent at times, with some experiences involving multiple requests for basics like cutlery, leading to meals going cold.

Bar Seven in Kettering is a cracking little spot for a late-night knees-up on Sundays, but its limited hours might leave you wanting more flexibility.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere really comes alive late at night, especially around 11:30pm, making it a fun spot for a lively evening out.
  • The staff and organisers are spot on for events like parties, with one chap mentioning a brilliant 16th birthday bash that was handled professionally.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open on Sundays from 10pm to 4am, which can be a right nuisance if you're not free then or fancy a midweek pint.
  • There's not much online presence – no website or phone number listed – so it's a bit of a faff to get more details or plan a visit.

Decades in Kettering is a lively bar with cracking tunes and a buzzing atmosphere when it's on form, but it's a bit of a mixed bag with some service slip-ups and staff issues holding it back.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The music selection is spot on when it's good – plenty of classic tunes from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s that really get the atmosphere buzzing, making it a fun night out.
  • It's got that great vibe and energy, especially with the DJ playing the right stuff; folks love it for the lively feel and it's basically the last spot like this in town, so it's a real gem for a night of dancing.
Areas for Improvement
  • The music has taken a nosedive lately with the new DJ sticking to awful remixes of modern tracks instead of the classics, and they don't seem to listen to requests, which is a real letdown.
  • Service can be hit or miss – like waiting ages at the bar with no one around, or running out of popular drinks, which puts a dampener on the evening.

Cool place, I always enjoy music selection there! The only problem is the smell and warmth especially during summer. But still - great vibes.
Magdalena Paćko
Decades used to play songs from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s. Now the new DJ just plays awful remixes of modern songs and doesn’t listen to request. What has happened to Decades. Bring back the old DJ!
Hannah Robinson
Says it plays music from 80s 90s and 00s but all they played for the hour i was there was new dance tracks. No one was behind bar when we arrived and had to wait even though there was no one else in c...

4.0(2 reviews)
72/100
The Tavern in Kettering is a straightforward bar with a decent 4.0 rating, offering some charm for a casual pint, but it's got its drawbacks with sparse details and recent mixed vibes.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got a solid overall rating of 4.0, which suggests it's done well by at least a few visitors.
  • One enthusiastic five-star review shows that when it's on form, it can really hit the spot for a good night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • With just a couple of ratings, there's not much word of mouth to go on, so it might be flying under the radar.
  • The most recent feedback was only average, hinting that things might not be as lively as they'd once been.

The Sound Bar in Kettering is a fun, late-night bar for dancing and drinks, but watch out for the rowdy atmosphere and its Sunday-only schedule.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a brilliant spot for letting your hair down with a drink and some dancing, just like one chap mentioned in his review.
  • Boasts a decent overall rating of 3.7, with most folks giving it top marks for the lively vibe.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get incredibly noisy with shouting and screaming, which put off at least one visitor.
  • Only open on Sundays from 10 PM to 2 AM, so it's a bit limited if you're after a midweek pint.

Ales & Stouts

Ales & Stouts is a fresh bar in Kettering that promises a focus on beers, but it's still flying under the radar with no buzz or details to go on yet.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The name 'Ales & Stouts' really catches the eye – it suggests a solid selection of beers that could be perfect for us lot who appreciate a good pint.
  • It's tucked away on Victoria Street in Kettering, which might make it a convenient spot for locals looking for a new haunt without venturing too far.
Areas for Improvement
  • With no reviews or ratings to speak of, it's a bit of an unknown quantity, so you might not know what you're walking into.
  • It's currently closed, which means we can't nip in for a drink just yet – frustrating if you're in the mood for a quick stop.

A Bloke Down the Pub is a fresh-faced brewery in Kettering that's got potential for great beers, but it's still finding its feet with no buzz yet.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a proper brewery in Kettering, which means you're likely in for some fresh, locally brewed ales – always a treat for us beer enthusiasts.
  • They've claimed their Google profile and have a website, showing they're organised and keen to connect with folks.
Areas for Improvement
  • There's no reviews or ratings yet, so it's a bit of a mystery – could be brand new or just flying under the radar.
  • Their website seems to be playing up with an error, making it tough to get more details before you head over.
