JonJParr Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Originally posted by cheapNnasty I work for a theme bar/pub chain which is looking to expand into the UK. We already have a number of similar bars in Europe & the US. Obviously the product we use in other countries wont meet the needs of the Sheffield public so Im trying to find out what peoples opinions are and you have any ideas which will help us suit your needs. The concept is a cheap pre-club bar aimed at students, no enterance fee, cheap drinks, etc. We also provide a 'open mike' system allowing new & amature DJ's the opportunity to play their music in small sets. This 'open mike' is out main feature has helped build up support for people who have gone on to be world-class DJs. I would say your target marget is already extremely saturated if your key demographic are students. Sheffield, and in particular, West St and the Devonshire Green area has an abundance of drinking establishments. As you have quite rightly pointed out, you do have a selling point - whether it's unique or not I'm not entirely sure. Does your chain have a lot of capital to invest in your Sheffield venture?

eric_the_man Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hi cheapNnasty If you are looking for ideas for a new Pre Club venue, How about hiring SHEFFIELD'S PREMIER TRANSSEXUAL DJ/KJ Martine Le'Clare to host Friday and Saturday nights for you. She has her very own brand of comedy and style that atracts punters from all over, even if only for the Outrageous dresses. She was recently working in Cha Cha's Indian Bar/Restaurant and can be seen in the Black Bull, Ecclesfield most weekends. Should you wish to book her, please post a reply on here and her manager will contact you. Good luck with the new venue, Eric The Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ousetunes Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Howsabout a pub where customers are forced to play Twister after a skinfull? Think of the people you'd meet. Beats chuffing Zenger or whatever it's called, knocking over huge piles of wood. Yeh, let's have a pub with traditional games like Twister, or a real-life Operation where we can sit at a table with our ciders and with a pair of tweezers yank bodily organs out of mice or rats. Or maybe we could play Buccaroo, jumping on strangers' backs and calling them names till they throw you off. We could dress up like Bungle out of Rainbow and shout 'Oooooh, Geoffrey, can I play?'

skyfitsboy Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Originally posted by DaBouncer There's a reason no good gay bar exists, it's because Sheffield is lacking the market for it. There is no "gay village" in Sheffield so it's not a feasible option to be honest. Sorry but that is bulls*it! Do a search on Gaydar for profiles registered in Sheffield and it brings up the first 500 users only, god knows how many are registered after this? Plus I would say about 60+ % of the gay community in Sheffield aren't even registered on Gaydar, so there is easily a few thousands gay and lesbian people living in Sheffield which could easily support a decent city centre bar. Dont' forget gay people have lots of straight friends who would also use such a bar/pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
