The Joiners Arms (usually branded and referred to as The Joiners) is a Public House and small music venue at 141 St Mary's Street, St Mary's, Southampton, England. It has played host to many up-and-coming bands. The venue is currently owned by Patrick Muldowney. The Joiners opened its doors as a music venue in 1968. The maximum capacity is 150 people.[citation needed]
Bands such as Arctic Monkeys during interviews with NME have often mentioned the Joiners, describing it as "a place where you have to play to get started."[citation needed] Friendly Fires stated that "without the Joiners Arms and other venues like that around the UK, we would not be where we are, and for that we are so grateful."[citation needed] Richard Ashcroft from The Verve is very fond of the venue, saying Verve played their best ever gig there.[citation needed]
In May 2013 the venue was shortlisted in the top ten of a contest run by NME to find Britain's best small music venue.[1]
