Leadmill Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Just to correct kellyanne, Saturdays at The Leadmill isn't 'Rock', its Indie Classics in the main room (think Stone Roses, Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, Killers etc) and the 2nd Room is 60s Soul, Motown, Stax plus Beatles / Stones / Kinks / Animals / Bowie & dash of soundtrack (Think Pulp Fiction / Blues Brothers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claret Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 How about a night of cocktails and champagne? Wig and pen for wine, Platillos for tapas and wine, Trippet's wine bar for champagne, Ivory bar for cocktails. St Paul's is in a good spot and has a champagne bar.

astronaut77 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Hi, there's the comedy club on at the city hall every weekend. Go to http://www.sheffieldcomedy.com/contents.php?id=3 for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyranna Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Hi all, I am trying to round up a hen weekend for my fiancee and would really appreciate some pointers. I've done some trawling but would really like a few opinions. There don't appear to be any comedy clubs running on 18/19th July unless anyone knows better - tried the Roundhouse and Funhouse. Suggestions for a decent nightclub for Saturday? As far as I can make out Embrace and Kingdom are off the menu, and Gatecrasher is closed or near as. Best opinions on here seem to be for Plug? Just somewhere to have a dance and a good night out, plus anywhere I could get them on a list would be a bonus. For Friday, somwhere to go after closing time, possibly Crystal bar? Friday is the quieter night for them, no L plates and squealing. As for restaurants, the Wasabisabi seems favourite for food and entertainment, how about a good Indian or Chinese? Aargrah? 23? cafe guru? tim po moor? Thanks in advance! I really need the help! John If you're interested in a drag cabaret, I will be happy to discuss doing a show, either in a hired venue or as part of a night out by arrangement with a venue.

Johnny Rod Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Thanks Tia but maybe not. Where's Platillos? I couldn't find it in the phone book. Wig and Pen, if it's anything like the others I've been in I'd rather stick a fork in me eye. Are Trippet's/Ivory bar the places for cocktails?

EdnaKrabappe Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hi Johnny Just so we know what your fiancee would like, how old is she, what is the age range of the group that's going, from your posts I'm guessing she's not from Sheffield so where does she like to go out where she lives, what does she enjoy doing and last of all, why isn't her maid of honour sorting this out for her???? Then we'll be better able to advise you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Rod Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 No indeed. She's late 20s but her buddies will be about 18-30. As above, Friday will be a bit more salubrious, cocktails etc. are the order of the day (night), Sat will be a bit more exciting. MOH is a bit tied up these days. My stag fell to bits so didn't want a repeat of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdnaKrabappe Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Last laugh comedy club If you pm Toby on here, he is the owner/compere on there but he's also a Radio Sheffield breakfast DJ and so is a busy man. Dunno if he can get you a deal with Hot pants or anything. Hot Pants is a good night for a mixed crowd who aren't regular go-er outers. Plays mainly 70's and motown in main room and 80's in the other room. I like to go occasionally and always have a good laugh. That's also at the city hall http://www.leadmill.co.uk/gallery/v/Hotpants/ I also think if i remember rightly that the St Pauls do a deal for hen dos there - free entry??? Personally I think if you are not from Sheffield a visit to the leadmill would be in order. http://www.leadmill.co.uk/clubNights.php?id=6 Contact Rupert there to get you some group tickets. There's also some information about Hot pants as it's run by the Leadmill. I'd also get a taxi down from West Street/Division Street as it's not the easiest place to find if you are not from Sheff (although it's really only a short walk from St Pauls). Nip in the Showroom (cinema) bar for a swifty. I'd start with a cocktail in the St Paul's bar which is fabulous. Opposite St Pauls is a cafe rouge and ha ha which are both nice if the weather is good to take in a glass of wine or two. http://www.sheffieldrestaurant.co.uk/restaurants/City-Centre/Ha-Ha-Bar-&-Canteen/ http://www.caferouge.co.uk/locations_restaurant.php?id=15 also cafe rouge's breakfast is very nice if the one at St pauls is not included. Don't be put off the Wig and Pen, one of the best places to eat in the city centre IMO and they've just extended it so i'll be going to eat there again soon. I don't think this one is a chain but i may be wrong. (it says on this that it's independent) http://www.sheffieldpub.co.uk/pubs/city-centre/wig-&-pen/ It's easy enough to get to but off the beaten track a little so may be worth eating there. There's also a fairly newish bar down there called The Quarter which i've not been to yet but heard good reports about... might be nice for eating, early evening. Walk along to Cubana where they have Salsa music on until late, also reasonably nice to eat (although i prefer the other places mentioned) http://www.sheffieldpub.co.uk/pubs/city-centre/cubana/ Walk back a little and into the leopold square area Lots of bars and restaurants in there serving the cocktail crowd, Strada i think is really nice http://www.sheffieldrestaurant.co.uk/restaurants/City-Centre/Strada/ Then you've got two choices really: West Street and Devonshire Street. I'm a Devonshire street/Division street person but West Street really has to be done if you are not from Sheffield. They run parallel to each other and cross over really at West one which is where 23 is. Bungalows and bears, Olive, all good places to go to travel up to the.... As far as bars go, best cocktails in town imo are at the old house which is on devonshire street, a short walk up from St Paul's. My mate dj's there on a Saturday night as well so i am a bit biased! Try a bramble - delicious! http://www.theoldhousesheffield.com/ The Common Room and The Forum Vodka revolution is not my taste but probably great fun if you are from out of town and on a hen do. http://www.sheffieldpub.co.uk/pubs/city-centre/revolution-vodka-bar/ This place does good food and nice cocktails and is a short walk and again do great cocktails. http://www.sheffieldrestaurant.co.uk/restaurants/City-Centre/23-Bar-and-Restaurant/ and in the same complex i like these two as well http://www.sheffieldrestaurant.co.uk/restaurants/City-Centre/Le-Marrakech/ http://www.sheffieldrestaurant.co.uk/restaurants/City-Centre/Las-Iguanas/ Which is a chain but a very good one. Hope that helps a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claret Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Thanks Tia but maybe not. Where's Platillos? I couldn't find it in the phone book. Wig and Pen, if it's anything like the others I've been in I'd rather stick a fork in me eye. Are Trippet's/Ivory bar the places for cocktails? Wig and Pen is independent and the owners also run Platillos (which is on Leopold Square). Both are v good and fantastic looking places. Wig and Pen is expensive for evening food, but they also do tapas which is good. Platillos has a tapas restaurant upstairs and a bar downstairs. Trippets is more wine/champagne I think rather than cocktails - and they do have a good and reasonably priced wine list. Ivory do great cocktails. I'd also suggest Sylvester's wine bar on Leopold Square. In fact I'd do Wig and Pen on Campo Lane for drinks, then Platillos in Leopold Square for food, Sylvester's in the same square for drinks, then Olive Bar on division St for drinks, Ivory Bar just off west st for cocktails, then Trippets for wine/champers and olives on Trippet lane and then maybe to Cubanas across the road from Trippets for dancing!!! Search for reviews on here or just google them all for websites - don't think Trippets has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
