JBFox Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Does anyone know what is the problem with the bar on Ecclesall Road that is seemingly always empty? I believe it's either called D'Michael's or St Michael's and I have only ever seen one customer in there, even when the other bars are full. Is there a problem with rude staff or did a violent crime occur hear once or something? I know that bars in other places like the Niche Bar had a bad reputation with knife assaults and so custom buckled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I went in several months ago and to me, it seemed really confused. Served good cocktails but the room was basically dark with blue neon lighting and really loud music - like a tiny nightclub. It put me off going back, and I'm sure im not the only one!

Guest makapaka Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It's not d'michaels anymore - went past the other day and it's all been rebranded - can't remember new name. Looks a lot better from outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been in about 5 times on a Saturday and it was always packed out. The music good and beer is relatively cheap for that end of town. Maybe people are dragged to the over priced and over rated bars that surround it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFox Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 You seem to be telling as opposed to asking. I have been in about 5 times on a Saturday and it was always packed out. The music good and beer is relatively cheap for that end of town. Maybe people are dragged to the over priced and over rated bars that surround it. Excuse me, I was quite clearly asking a question. The clue is with the three question marks in my original post. I don't see how the surrounding bars are overpriced...most of the bars on Ecclesall Road do a pint of lager for around £4.85 and the only one I can say is overrated is The Porter as it has a very rude landlord and there is always lots of chavvy riff raff outside...(probably making a pint last them all evening).

Eddie_shef Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 most of the bars on Ecclesall Road do a pint of lager for around £4.85 . Is that seriously how much a pint costs now? I've been away for a while, but holy crappola that is a lot for a pint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theimposter Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I remember going in here a few years ago but I'm sure it was called something else? I think it may have had a Cuban theme...does anyone remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do apologise, D'Michaels is the Monk Bar, Café Rouge is Red's True BBQ...much apologies Reds True BBQ are moving into the old Café Rouge premises, unless I am mistaken Reds True BBQ is another arm of the Mitchel and Butler empire, see the Fox House thread.

New owners, full refit, different target market, new staff and brilliant cocktails. Can I ask what a "Niche bar" is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
