slimsid2000 Posted October 23, 2004 Author Share Posted October 23, 2004 Originally posted by BigTone It used to be a great bar but as usual it's gione downhill and the place is becomming a chav's hideout since the start of the year. They do some fantastic cocktail jugs which is still a good enough reason to go in and is the only reason that's keep the place going. I hear on the grapevine they're changing the cocktail menu very soon. You say it is a chav's hideout. What exactly do you mean by this? Does it have a problem with violence or drugs for example. I have never much witnessed this but then I don't go that often and wouldn't necessarily know what to look out for unless it was really obvious.

swan Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I used to go there quite a lot and the cocktails are great but it is a complete chav hangout now. Also full of teenagers - the last time I went in I felt like the oldest person there, I reckon about 90% of people were underage. It's like a playground full of underage fashion victims!!

Lickszz Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I'm afraid it's a NO for me also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen any fights in there but they type of people that are fashion victims, plenty of Stone Island & Henry Lloyd jumpers about that only Popeye the sailor man would be seen wearing so it's becomning a Chav's & Spiceboy hideout. The music too is mainly hip-hop & R'n'B they play in Empire whjere as before (when it was good) they played a wide variety of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimsid2000 Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 What other pre-club bars in the city centre or Ecclesall Road area do people prefer and why do you think they are better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilon Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Never been a massive fan of the Empire - I haven't been for years and have no pressing desire to ever return. One time a drunken fool in a checked shirt threw up all over me in the gents toilet. However, he did shove a twenty sheet into my hand immediately afterwards. I suppose there are rougher places, and, admittedly, I've enjoyed a lovely pair of jugs from there before now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
