royjames Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 God I never realised there were so many gays in sheffield. Woul'd I be correct when I say there are at laest 6 gay bars in the city,if so you are spoilt for choice. Have you tried that one on carslile street,ive been told it is very good,not that im gay or anything. I once went in the cosack out of curousity with some friends and it was ok ,but the price of the drinks was excessive,you seem to pay a lot for having gay bars.

steelblade Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Skyfitsboy I didn't realise there was still so much homophobia about. I'm shocked! I can't believe someone would spit on you. I mean I can understand that some people just don't like the idea of homosexuality and it might bother then, but to actually shout at someone or spit on them is quite disgusting. If I saw two men snogging in a bar, yeah I admit I probably would have a look because It's nothing something you see everyday, but it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. After the initial novelty of the sight had worn off I'd probably think "oh pack it in you soppy sods" old romantic that I am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Sheffield not Leeds! There are only 2 gay bars in Sheffield I am aware of these are Dempseys and Club Xs. Could you tell me where the other 4 are please because I would love to be spoilt for choice. As for The Cossack that shut down ages ago and for goods reason, it was little more than a garage! Both Dempseys and Xs very cheap and nasty places with overpriced drinks, and to get to Xs which is in one of the most disgusting places in Sheffield - Burngreave cost's a fortune. Alot of small towns in the UK have better gay place's than Sheffield, it's so embarassing when gay friends from other cities come over to see me and they want to sample Sheffield's gayscene. I'm just thankful we have Climax, shame it only once a month. Report this Post | Link | IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royjames Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Sorry if I have shown my ignorance about the number of bars for gay people,I have to say that you do get a raw deal what with over priced drinks and lack of venues. I did nor know the cosack had closed down,I woul'd have thought that with the population of the U K being 10% gay it woul'd make good comercial sense for someone to cater for that market. As they say the pink pound has a lot of buying power,anyway hope you find something to your liking soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pauly Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Went to Climax for the first time ever on Saturday and had a great night out. Would recommend to anyone, gay, bi or straight. It felt really free and relaxed in there as nobody cares what anyone else thinks. I'll definately be going again next time. Anyone know when the next one is? I'm aware that Fairy Likuid is this Saturday but from what I've heard it's not up to much. BTW....did anyone see Marco in Climax this weekend? He was being kept busy all night by people wanting to chat and get pictures. Hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinac Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Does anyone know why Sheffield doesn't want to be part of the 21st Century. You know, it was a great city once. When did it decide not to move on like Leeds or Manchester (or Nottingham)? Who wants to be in the biggest village in the country or the People's Rebublic of South Yorkshire? Forgive the following comment from a straight but maybe the reason there's no Gay Pride in Sheffield is because there's no Sheffield Pride?

Guest Pauly Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Can you give any examples or is it just that there's not much of a gay scene? Not having a go at you, just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
