goldenfleece Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Allow me to praise the Runaway girl.....not many others seem to be....only been there a few times so far but found the atmosphere totally absorbing and certainly unique to Sheffield. It's very small, but that adds to the charm. It actually reminds me of a similar sized 'underground' club that used to exist in West London called The Birdcage (not to be confused with the modern Birdcage club), exotic decor, very intimate and not pretentious on the outside like a lot of clubs. Would quite happily spent a few hours in there on my own drinking wine and watching the bands, and I would not do that in many places in Sheffield. Like the Dove it seems to be chav free zone, or at least when I have been there......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Random Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I've only been the once, but I liked it. drinks seemed to be a price commensurate with a town bar, the music was good and the atmosphere was nice. My only gripe is that it's a bit small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathH Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 It is not a drug den. That's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinnacle Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I imagine it all depends which night you go to. Some nights your not gonna get a band on at all. In fact on the 4th November you'll get me amongst others dj'ing! Shameless plug there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyndsayx Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 i really like it in there, been to a few of the band nights so far and found the staff were really polite and friendly. plus on the drinks issue, £2 for a double vodka takes some beating!

hmr44 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I like it but just wish it was a bit bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carcass Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Drug den? Well, maybe tonight (25th). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichSmol Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 i like the place! the staff have always been really friendly and outgoing, always up for a bit of banter. Sundays are good nights to go to (called Respite) with a mixture of all kinds of music from jazz to hip-hop to breakbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1930 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 before i start i want to make it clear i work at a different bar as it seems everytime you say something positive on these kind of threads u get accused of owning or working there , i like runaway girl, only been in once staff seemed to know there cocktails, wer friendly had a good laugh, was quiter than i thought it might be for a weekend but i would definatly visit again, and in terms of price you pay for quality with spirits, cocktails etc, if u want pints of carling an smirnoff and coke go to west street.

CathH Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Okay, I've already started and I wish to make it clear... I do work at The Runaway Girl.
