GinTreeS7 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) So .. I believe the new gat bar Queer Junction" next to Dempseys has finally opened yesterday. Has anybody been yet ? And whats it like? Edited July 22, 2018 by GinTreeS7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birobasher Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I dropped in briefly last night, around eleven.. A handful of people indoors, the same smoking outdoors, but I don't know if it got busier later because it was past my bedtime. Has a Doctor Who theme, with Police box door, TARDIS control room lights and a DJ booth shaped like the bottom of a Dalek. Drag DJ was playing Abba and Gloria Gaynor, but apparently tonight promises an R 'n' B flavour. ---------- Post added 22-07-2018 at 08:31 ---------- Update: Queer Junction posted a picture on Facebook of a full dancefloor, so things seem to be going well. Roll on the next venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avalunche Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 It is important to say we are not pointing our fingers at the council, they may have had a complaint from a "concerned neighbour" but it's more likely to be someone who doesn't like the idea of what we stand for and the LGBT nightlife we were trying to expand within Sheffield. More likely its someone who didn't like the competition, from a newer, cleaner, safer environment, in a better location. I have seen so many places come and go, I am not surprised really. People in Sheffield do not support clubs like OMG, they support seedy holes in rough areas like Dumpseys. Perhaps its because they are ashamed, and no one is likely to see them down the bottom of the Moor compared to on West Street? For me, if the choice is Dumpseys or stay at home, I'll never be going out on the gay scene again. No big loss really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birobasher Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The new venues will give you some choice then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalunche Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The new venues will give you some choice then. Arent they all in the same bad area as Dumpseys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birobasher Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The more activity down there at night, the better. It's isolation and being run down that attracts crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria1867 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Went to the new gay bar on Friday night, can't say I was impressed. It was full of middle-aged white women on 'girls nights out' channelling their inner Carrie Bradshaw. Dempseys all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
