It’s comfortable and is currently undergoing redecoration so it should look very smart soon. In fact, if it weren't for the rainbow flag flying proudly outside, anyone who didn't know Northampton would assume it was just another pub. The exterior of the Clipper is very grand and has a very “British-pub” look about it. Still, we must make do with what we've got!īoth the Clipper and the Anker are conveniently positioned on the edge of the town centre and have easy access to taxi ranks and, more importantly, kebab shops! I have to admit I am disappointed that a town the size of Northampton has only two real ‘gay’ establishments. Northampton's scene consists of two establishments, the Boston Clipper on College Street and the Jolly Anker on Gas Street. You've picked your outfit… you've done your hair… you've stood in the mirror for ages double checking everything… and now you're ready to hit the ‘scene’! Well all I can say is don't get too excited! Is Northampton a hot spot for dancing queens or drop dead without the gorgeous? You decide.
