I think it’s fair to say the Baroque Bar is a pub-crawl pub. These guys want you in and after one round, too small for regulars, not intimate enough for couples, the busier the night the louder the music to encourage you to drink up and move on to the next one in the chain. That mentality seems strange but it’s proven to make this type of pub and location more money on a Saturday night. Because of that the bar staff are female and cute but the beer and booze prices expensive to compensate, three bottles little change from a tenner. The bouncer is polite and proudly clicks away on his clicker like a timekeeper at the Olympics, although they do like to queue you up to pretend its busier inside sometimes, the old tactic of a bar that relies on looking ‘in’ and ‘cool’ to make its corn. But with a good atmosphere and a reasonably easy to get served at bar it’s an ideal in and out bar for busy nights with pretty girls. If you do get a group of lads in their it can be very noisy. Situated smack bang in the town centre it sucks up customers from all social classes’ with the clientele tending to be 18 – 30, although less 30 and more 18. But Northampton is not the most middle-class town and so there are no heirs and graces to be had in our bars. There’s an extremely small smoking area where the bins used to be and a great place to chat up the opposite sex. Without this area the pub would lose punters. The upper floor is toilets only and as the rather exposed stairway passes up and over the main bar area, guys can see up the girl’s skirts for half of the ascent so make sure you are wearing clean knickers girls.

Baroque is the perfect little venue for a chilled drink with friends or as a start to a night out. It’s right in the centre of town and a short walk to both the more hectic nightlife of Bridge Street and the Royal and Derngate theatre. The décor is trendy and contemporary and the drinks prices reasonable. I have also been here whilst shopping on the weekend and it was the perfect little retreat from the hustle and bustle of Abington Street.
