The Joiners

The Joiners is a small music venue in a former pub (The Joiners Arms) on St Mary Street, St Mary's, Southampton, England. It has played host to many up-and-coming bands. The pub started having live acts in the back room in 1968. The maximum capacity is 200 people.

In 2013, the venue was named Britain's best small music venue in a competition run by NME.

In December 2006, writer Oliver Gray published a book entitled Access One Step: The Official History of the Joiners Arms, which documents the history of the venue and includes a foreword by Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows.
