Dark Moomin Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hi guys, Been in Sheffield a year now and decided its high time to be more adventurous on my weekend nights out. What is the Boardwalk like on a Saturday night? What kind of music, what kind of people, how much to get in etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwish Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 The Boardwalk has bands on most Saturday nights so the price depends on which band is on and how famous they are. I do think though generally the Boardwalk is a very good venue but it can be an expensive night out. There are not many bands on that cost less than £8 to see and that is probably the minimum price. So it isnt really the sort of venu u go to every Saturday, just when there happens to be a band on u particularly want to see. If you want a venu that has free bands on try the West Street Live.

Dark Moomin Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Cheers Nightwish, Is there a lower entrance if we went after the bands? ie is there a club night on after? I have seen some bands that I wouldn't miond seeing advertised, but really afetr a club night type place that isn't Corp (not that there's a problem with corp, just Have some frineds which like Friday, and some which like Sat, and would be nice to get everyone in one place!!)

nightwish Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 No there is no club night after last orders is at 11.00 when the bands finish. There is another pub downstairs but not sure if that is still open I know it was closed for quite a while I think it is called Under the Boardwalk maybe other forum members will know. I dont know what other night clubs you could try apart from the Casbah there is only really the Corp. Have u tried the Casbah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightwish Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 No I haven't, what's that\like? Infact, where is it? The Casbah is opposite Cole Bros just down from the Sportsman and Wetherspoons it opens at about 10 until about 2 or 3 am. It is a mixture of music I only usually go in on Fridays downstairs is Rock and upstairs is sort of Indie/Punkish and some 80's stuff like Morrissey not my cup of tea but downstairs is ok 70's to present day rock. I am not sure what they do on Saturday I think it is similar to Fri I usually go in Corp on Saturdays so not sure. If u go in before 11 it is free but after that about a fiver to get in.

fisax Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 The Boardwalk has bands on most Saturday nights so the price depends on which band is on and how famous they are. I do think though generally the Boardwalk is a very good venue but it can be an expensive night out. There are not many bands on that cost less than £8 to see and that is probably the minimum price. . The minimum price to get into the Boardwalk is £4 / £3NUS but this is for what they call an unsigned night (Boardwalk Calling) They also have many touring bands play at the venue and yes price changes depending on who it is playing. and there's even student discounts applied to entry fee's for these nights too. Thank god Im a student If you want to see whats what and prices why not visit w ww.theboardwalklive.co.uk and look at the gig guide section it gives you insight into what the bands are like and how much for that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
