Framptons was a venue operating around 1980. It was described by Walter Becker in Nexus as:

L.D. Nathans Framptons doesn't seem to have captured the imagination of anyone in particular. As a venue for enjoying rock music it hasnt worked till now. Sterile would suffice as a description of its atmosphere... for atmosphere Framptons is about as divey as Te Rapa Meats down the other end of the road.

and:

Both The Corner and the Hillcrest leave Framptons for Dead (Nexus, 25 June 1980).

Gigs at the venue included Lip Service on 9 May 1980, The Swingers and Brunettes on 7 June 1980, Furys on July 3 and 4 1981, and The Church played there on 9 and 10 February 1983. .
