  • K-town has quite a gud no. of decent pubs.luving xtra,attica and bar sun all the best tunes to dance to, and u cant beat a gud beat of cheese in omalleys on a sat nite.avoid henry's and level only full of fights.
  • Attica is defintly a good place to go on a saturday night along with level 3. Extra and bar sun are also good though a little bit more chilled out.
  • the prince and the old market inn. please don't use the term "greb" to apply to everyone who goes there. grebs are few and far between these days, they're now full of emos, indies, scene kids, and aging rockers who really should give it a rest and free up some space by the bar.
  • keystone!! mosh pit is soo kool me nd my m8s luv watchin the guys mosh it!! if ur getin pissed its good here cus by the time i gt home im sober yay!!
  • XS is now closed waiting to be re-vamped. Centrals the place to go on a sat night, free entry before 10 and half price drinks before 11! music can be cheesy but who cares when ya drunk! aged 18-20 level 3's the place for you.
  • Must let you all know about the new bar in town , Krakars, next to the royal hotel going towards hotel car park... it brill. cheap drinks, good atmosphere, good music , will be the next place to be
  • Hmm! Club XS (has it changed names again yet?) Does have a remarkably youthful looking crowd most weekends, I stopped partaking a few years ago after some spotty youth hurled on my shoes! the music is meant to be dancey by all accounts and they have the odd big? named DJ's there. Central - a whole new world of old balding ogling men whose wives and kids have no idea what they spend saturday nights doing! They serve champagne - makes up for some of the patrons! - but the staff have been known to have an attitude and a bit of a chip! An alright night if you don't expect too much!
  • XS sucks donkeys, USF is good, KEYSTONE rocks
  • ummm level 3 can be quite good but keep gettin hit in there so havent been for a while
  • kettering has some great djs with the likes of skully, wid&ben, kernzy&klemenza and egoiste all hailing from kettering. trouble is all venues just seem to play pop/rnb stuff.
  • CENTRAL
  • ROCKSCHOOL LIVE GIGS ON THE LAST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH, OPEN TO ALL AGES, AT CLUB XCESS, PYTCHLEY IND EST, KETTERING. DOORS 6.30PM, 1ST BAND ON 7.00PM, TEL IAIN 07850 700370 FOR MORE INFO OR IF YOU ARE IN A YOUNG KETTERING BAND LOOKING FOR GIGS.
  • Club XS, Recently picked up in standard on certain nights of the month, with such reknowned DJ's such as Passion resident, JFK. Pole Idol was an event not to be missed! Central is appealing to a much broader clientèle of late night drinker.
  • Extreme is on every tuesday 4 the under 18's!
  • CLUB XS STILL THE BEST NIGHT OUT IN KETTERING LOADS OF NEW STUFF COMING SOON ASWELL POLE IDOL(KINDA CUSTOMER POLE DANCING COMP)SHOULD BE A GOOD ONE FOR ALL AND HIGH SOCIETY A NEW DANCE NIGHT WITH BIG NAME DJ'S SUCH AS YOMANDA SO LOOK OUT FOR THAT ONE NICE STAFF AND NICE ATTITUDE KEEP IT UP LADS
  • ok now listen up u pill heads who love the cotton club (now known as level 3) its a big bag of shit.club xs is THE BEST and you should know that by now great music great atmosphere saturday is the best night to go for a bangin time.enjoy xxxx
  • The only one that is worth a look is Central, still not the best that you will go to. Consider staying in a bar!
  • xs is rubbish but theres knowhere decent to go
  • BOX is a new funky house night run in Attica(above omalleys). really good tunes and some big name djs. no commercial rubbish. www.enjoybox.cjb.net
  • The Cotton Club has been closed for nearly a year now. Shame the dj there was the best in kettering however he has been working thursday nights in Club XS, although he hasn't been there for the last two weeks. Don't think im gonna bother going any more cos the new dj is crap. When glen was there it was kewl. We love glen we all used to go to the cotton club to see him as well. Kettering venues take note glen of the cotton club and XS is ketterings best dj you should all hire him. lol. Anyway im gonna go and try to find an email address for Club XS to complain that glen aint there any more. i hope he aint left and that he is only on holiday.
  • did you know that you can get free entry into some clubs if you get a kettering vip card? checkout ketteringvip.co.uk. I have saved a fortune on clothes, eating out and much more with my kettering vip gold card!
  • Club XS every 1st Monday of every month for Kenny's Dead nights. The best nights in Northants for punk, metal, ska, hardcore and more. With DJ's JB and Nino Opens 10pm - 02am and tickets R £3.50 from the old market inn Or £4.00 on door
  • Kenny's Dead at Club XS, people moan about it being not as good as it used to be, but it still rules cos its like going to a mates party oncea month. You know everyone there
  • Try Rotherham, Or a bit further afield Newcastle Quayside!!
  • club xs - good laugh if ur drunk. 1 of the in house dj's might try n hit on ya but stear clear if u've any sense he's prob got anova few girls numba the same night, or fancy goin 4 a drink is the best line... ive c'n it happen! Friday n saturday!!!
  • Club XS in kettering has an alternative music night called 'Kennys Dead' playing rock, metal, Punk & Indie/Garage Rock. If you want to know dates then email kennysdead666@hotmail.com although they are usually the first monday of the month. No Attitude & Good Music.
  • - XS (yeah man wicked !!) :b
  • The cotton club used to be the best place in town but its closed down now. The djs there were shit hot. dance music on a friday and cheesey party stuff on a saturday, versatile to your requests as well the saturday nite dj is the best dj ever, he will always play your request whatever it is and he can turn his hand to anything. he is now working in club xs on a thursday nite, which is a cheesy party night although he does play some r&b and commercial dance, and he still plays anything you ask him for. he is rather fit to girls. check him out. i think his name is glen or something.stay away from central its shit and full of grandads. im sure the dj plays a looped tape every night as well. you can set your watch by what time you hear some tracks. all in all club xs is now propably the best club. Check out bar sun on sundays as well. the dj in there (ben) is quality. he also plays Club xs on a friday and Saturday. They have ketterings 2 best djs (glen and ben) see ya there.
  • I felt ancient last time I went to Club Reject-most of them should be in nappies
  • xs is the best place to be and no matter what ppl say bout it you are guarenteed to have a good nite! the lads are fit to especially karl baker *mwah*
  • Kettering...hmmmmm....xs is a rough dump at the best of times, BUT, giv em there do's they're playing more choons than central's bashing out at the mo. Central = nice people, expensive drinks, old skool tunes and a laugh..xs= a punch in the face, cheap drinks, loadsa people "up 4 it", great music and friendly bouncers!!! ;-)
  • central rock its greak
  • sportz but it shuts 2early. big up ross n his crew on the door!
  • Club XS on its Kenny's Dead's night, good music, most pubs are open til 1am now on weekends so i think the clubs are losing custom
  • my ultamate fave club the ledgendary-oh yes-club XS, slag it off all you want but you can bet ull have a wicked nite if you go there, musics geat, atmospheres greater and u can bet ull see loads of familiar faces (and the guys are fit too!) Central-Grab a grandparent-trust me.
  • Central in Montagu Street buzzes. Get there early and avoid the Q. Straight/Gay - anything goes. Any age too - don't worry if you feel past it at other clubs - just get down and boogie.
  • Central Rock cafe and bar a great place for those who wanna listen to sh*t cheesy music
  • Kettering and clubs isn't a good match, the attitude stinks wherever you go, Cotton club is about the best, stay away from Club xs!
  • The cotton club has undergone extensive refurbishment with thousands of pounds spent. obviously the person who expressed their opinion of the cotton club being a waste of time is living 10 years in the past. FACT!!! Anyone who wants to know what it is really like can go to www.cottonclub.org.uk CHECK IT OUT. promos and giveaways as well as a new dj lineup.
  • Cotton Club has had a big facelift,check out www.cottonclub.org.uk New bar,Decor sound system and dancefloor. Well worth a visit!!
  • The Club is now 100% COTTON. If you can make the 49 steps you know you can make it!!!
  • If you like it blue, then join the crew at the'Bluest Bar' in town at the Cotton Club! Over 18 blues only
  • keep away from kett. clubs - v. bad, boring places
  • Central Rock Cafe...... all ages Club XS, just out of town.
  • Hmm, you want underground go to London. You want Thursday, Friday, Saturday night cheese go to Kettering's clubs. Bar Sun Nice place, cocktail bar upstairs, real DJ's probably the best mix around in Kettering......
  • we have a new nightclub called central rock cafe
  • Ha, They're all shite, if you wanna late drink go to O'Malleys or the Indian restaurant Monsoon.
  • central club montague st sucks
  • The cattle market has been closed, I wonder why
  • Also the USF club where Phill the Bitch goes what a place and of course we cannot forget the one and pnly Bobby Lynch he goes there aswell
  • Minatre rifle club is a biddy bomb club full of them like my nieghbour Ray & eady
  • Fleckies, isn't that bad. Although my friend Eleanor got kicked out last Saturday when her mum came and got her.
  • Spot on...... Xs.......... Cotton club....... Volts (over 25s).......... New one opening at Montagu street.........
  • club xs as it is now called is the big thursday an saturday nightspot crappy but there is nowhere else to go.... cotton club is not worthy of being called a club for the younger memebers you can go to the wicksteed park discos or even klv
  • Club XS
  • Reflections is very bad, The Cotton Club is worse.
  • Reflections (aka Fleckies, Rejections etc...) Cotton Club (not worth the effort).
  • remember the best and most original club was Tymes nightclub - onced owned by Jez Phillips and Philip Litchfield circa 1980 - 1994 in the town centre(now the cotton club)
