I went to The Venue to see a friend play in a darts competition and I was surprised just how huge it is inside. It really is just like a TARDIS. it looks like a tiny little clubroom from the outside but when you get inside it just goes on forever. There is a massive long bar and a big room with a vast dancefloor and a huge stage. You then go into the Darts room which had my head spinning because it has about 20 dartboards right round the room. There is tables down the middle of the room but it is hard if you have come to support a certain person play as they could be playing at any of the boards and you may not be able to see any of it depending on where you decide to sit. This would be an awesome place to hold a party. They hire out the rooms for functions and they also have live music nights as well as comedy nights and obviously because of the great Darts rooms they hold a lot of darts competitions so great if you just want to watch some good local talent. The prices of drinks are very reasonable and there is a limited parking area out the front but it is right across the road from Abbey St car park so there is no problem there. The staff are OK too. Friendly and efficient as bar-staff should be. read more

This place has a car park close to the venue, this is handy if you dont want to get a taxi or walk it. From the outside doesnt look quite big but inside has 2 decent size rooms that can be made big with slide away walls. Perfect location for functions and for gigs, this place has been a good centre for derby's local bands and also brought in some bigger bands like Fall Out Boy. Prices arent too bad either. The staff are hard working and always polite. There is a kitchen as well so food is readily available and this also means if booked out for weddin recpetions for example they can cater as well Run by 2 business partners and together its well organised. read more

The Venue - Social Clubs Near Me - Derby, DER

Went to a Christmas party there, it's ok as far as function rooms go but I wasn't really impressed. It reminded me of a Skegness style pub or a little bit phoenix nights. It's near town though so that's a bonus. read more
