The New AdelphiKingston upon Hull, United Kingdom

Uncaring corporate profiteering has sucked the soul from most venues. The Adelphi is the perfect counter point to this. Rock 'n' roll was never meant to be the sanitised and controlled gelding it has become today. The Adelphi rebels where other venues capitulate. Venues where notable music is played, should be like the people that inhabit them - blemished, flawed, and all the more human and better for it. I don't care if it's not clean or not - when I visit, I'm not going there for a meal, I'm going because I want to hear good music. The Adelphi is easily the best venue I have ever visited. To entirely contradict Esilly below me, it easily has the best atmosphere of any club I have ever been to. It is tiny, sure, and admittingly a bit of a dark, damp dump, but I love it!
