King Billy Music Bar

You're walking down Commercial Street towards the town centre when King Billy pulls you in with the promise of proper live entertainment and a soundtrack that actually matters. This is where Northampton comes to drink without the corporate polish—sticky floors, decent acoustics, and a bar staff who treat regulars like mates. Whether there's a local band cranking through covers or a DJ spinning proper tunes, the energy here feels earned rather than manufactured. At around £4-5 a pint, it won't wreck your week either.
