No Ged303 20-06-2007, 04:38 PM Big Fish PR press release. A brand new bar promising new high standards of service is set to open in Sheffield city centre this month. Listed, a stylish and contemporary conversion of what was once a cutlery works at Morton Works on West Street, will be a 400 capacity venue catering for those of you after a rather more refined experience on a night out. The door policy will be a strict one with high standards to ensure that the atmosphere is kept at a premium. It’s the brainchild of Large Area, a brand new hospitality company, who already have targeted further sites in the city to expand their portfolio. Managing Director Craig Longstaff explains the concept further: “This will be an upmarket, stylish and contemporary bar. It’s aimed at the sort of people who aren’t just prepared to drink anywhere but expect high standards, a relaxed atmosphere and a decent selection of drinks.” The new bar is an open plan affair, with a chocolate and cream theme complimented by stylish feature wallpaper, comfortable leather sofas and low tables. There will be an excellent choice of draft beers, bottles, wines and spirits, as you’d expect from a high end concept bar, as well as a dance floor at the rear. The music will be a far cry from your typical West Street soundtrack, featuring lots of northern soul, Motown and funk. Keep an eye out for flyers and posters for the grand opening July 7. VIP OPENING JULY 6 nick2 20-06-2007, 05:03 PM 'strict dress code' was the only thing i read, great another crystal... On West Street, good luck with finding any customers them. No doubt it will start off well, like Crystal did, but it will soon be on the buy-one-get-one-free bandwaggon once they realise that their ideal customer doesn't realy exist in Sheffield, not on West Street anyway. Powerage 21-06-2007, 11:55 AM Just a question how can a bar that is selling itself to have high standards state it will have a relaxed atmosphere? Seems like its contradicting itself there. Personally I would rather go were you can just be yourself and not have to worry whether you meet some jumped up bouncers idea of the "right clientelle". nick2 21-06-2007, 02:36 PM Personally I would rather go were you can just be yourself and not have to worry whether you meet some jumped up bouncers idea of the "right clientelle". I agree, thats the attitude most of Sheffield has, thats why this will probably fail, there aren't enough pretentious drinkers to keep Crystal and this place going. Perhaps in Leeds it might stand a chance. SheffBloke 21-06-2007, 02:36 PM :o :o :o I wouldn't pay £3.50 a pint and I'm not riff raff!

No doubt it will start off well, like Crystal did, but it will soon be on the buy-one-get-one-free bandwaggon once they realise that their ideal customer doesn't realy exist in Sheffield, not on West Street anyway. Maybe these people do exist, but aren't prepared to come into town for just 3 bars in town that are so far spaced apart there not on the same circuit so they stay on Ecclesall Rd or other places......just a thought! Soulgirlxxx 21-06-2007, 02:49 PM How strange though.... playing Northern Soul, Motown and funk and yet having a strict door policy. Doesn't that go against everything soul stands for? chriswvtr 21-06-2007, 03:05 PM I'll give it six months Jonny5 21-06-2007, 04:51 PM The problem is that the riff-raff are the ones that like to get all dressed up and pay 3.50 a pint on a night out. Weekend millionaires is the term. More refined types tend not to be so vain and instead dress more casually. I suspect that the average intelligence of clientèle in The Grapes (since it has already be mentioned) will be higher than average intelligence of clientèle in the classiest of classy bars. How strange though.... playing Northern Soul, Motown and funk and yet having a strict door policy. Doesn't that go against everything soul stands for? Yes, three musical styles that were born among the working class. I doubt whether the owners of this new bar have any idea what Northern Soul is. To them it is most likely a buzz word that they've picked up. Geezer 21-06-2007, 04:56 PM Crickey....its not opened up yet and you are already planning for its failure and closure. Why not simply wish them every success? The city needs a kick up the backside in the drinking establishment area and my mate who is opening Listed is aiming to do just that. jamesogt 21-06-2007, 05:08 PM So whos in charge of guestlist for open night then?

You do tend to find that the more retarded types do "hit the town" in a smart shirt and shiny shoes. Just go to Rotherham on a Friday night for evidence of this....... So if thats the type the want in their new bar, having a dress code is the right way to go about it. However, if they want educated types with a larger disposable income, they would do well to relax this.

To them it is most likely a buzz word that they've picked up. That would be off of the back of all the posh bars down in london starting to play northern soul in the past five years, and the owner probably proper like the music off of the KFC adverts. Ged303 26-06-2007, 01:23 PM Or MAYBE they might simply be into Northern Soul?? Soulgirlxxx 26-06-2007, 01:40 PM But if they were then they'd know that a dress code etc. is ridiculous!! Look at the history of soul.... just doesn't sit right i'm afraid. Good luck to them and I hope they have huge success as a bar. It's also good that ANYONE would choose to play some good tunes for a change but it just feels a bit odd to me. nick2 26-06-2007, 04:32 PM Dress codes just remove your individuality, you have to dress to their specification, it's like wearing a school uniform and I for one won't be told what to wear by anybody. Ged303 27-06-2007, 11:49 AM I think dress codes are in place to keep some people out. If you turned up wearing a hoody and some crap trainers it think it would be fair to knock you back for not making the effort. nick2 27-06-2007, 12:18 PM I think dress codes are in place to keep some people out. If you turned up wearing a hoody and some crap trainers it think it would be fair to knock you back for not making the effort. I depends, you could be wearing a Viviene Westwood hoody (about £300) and Air Max 95 trainers (about £170), surely they would want someone with that much disposable income ? If the "undesirables" get turned away from a pub they are actually clever enough to go to Tom Man the next day and buy a nice shirt, some nice trousers and some sensible shoes and then get in. Another thing, who says you have to "make an effort", it's not a wedding your going to, it's a pub for a few pints, it's supposed to be relaxed not an interrogation by the "fashion" police.

Nick I think your being a bit silly, dress codes these days don't mean coller & tie and a pair of shiney shoes and you know this. You know the kind of undesirables they won't be wanting in here, and I say good on them, keep them out. PS.......If your shopping at Viviene Westwood, buy a nice shirt not an hoody top. Ged303 27-06-2007, 02:30 PM I think they really are trying to keep idiots our of their bar. Not make a social comment. Yes we all know you cant judge somebody by the colour of their shoes. But door staff do a difficult job, and have to make decisions sometimes based on "the look" of somebody. If "somebody" is well presented, they wont be challenged on the door, its really that simple. Geezer 27-06-2007, 02:58 PM Finally someone talking sense! nick2 27-06-2007, 03:15 PM Well lets just wait and see what the list of "not allowed" clothing items are. Geezer 27-06-2007, 03:54 PM I will ask Craig and let you know. dinkdankdo10 27-06-2007, 04:24 PM man alive ! dress code can mean anything it code mean dress code i.e. fashion stylist on the door, this has been going off in London, Nottingham, Leeds etc for ages ! good luck to them ! Sheffield city centre is rubbish a the moment and needs investment by many different types of bars not only the chav types ! I personally welcome this and think it is years overdue !!!!! nick2 29-06-2007, 11:28 AM Any update on what the dress code will be ? I'm expecting "smart casual" whatever that is. crisps_uk 29-06-2007, 11:54 AM Whats all the negativity, there is a some of us who want to go to nicer bars and are prepared to pay higher prices for our drinks even on west street, so if its not for you then stop being so damn negative and stick to your usall type of pubs. nick2 29-06-2007, 12:04 PM It might be for me, I can certainly afford it, I just want to know if I'll be allowed to wear whatever I like for the pleasure. crisps_uk 29-06-2007, 12:17 PM "I depends, you could be wearing a Viviene Westwood hoody (about £300) and Air Max 95 trainers (about £170), surely they would want someone with that much disposable income" yes but you have to admit wether its a vivienne westwood hoodie or a juicy coutour tracksuit its still chav wear and I wouldnt class a tracksuit as smarwear doesnt matter how much it costs. And if you have got a high disposable income than you can definatly afford to wear smart evening wear. nick2 29-06-2007, 12:21 PM And if you have got a high disposable income than you can definatly afford to wear smart evening wear. But why would I want to, just to go to a pub ? I'm not James Bond, I'm not wearing a tuxedo for a night on the town. SpiderPete 29-06-2007, 12:24 PM But why would I want to, just to go to a pub ? I'm not James Bond, I'm not wearing a tuxedo for a night on the town. Well then go to another pub, this one isnt obviously for you :huh: nick2 29-06-2007, 12:26 PM Well then go to another pub, this one isnt obviously for you :huh: Obviously not, it's for people who like to be told what to wear when their out enjoying themselves and people who think that wearing a "smart" outfit somehome makes you more refined. No doubt it will attract the viciously tanned Crystal Staurday night crowd . crisps_uk 29-06-2007, 12:27 PM well as a female, and I can say this for a lot of my mates we like dressing up doing our hair, nails and going to nicer bars, I can wear my casual clothes in the day at weekends, my spotswear to the gym, my tailored suits to work so why not have going out wear???? SpiderPete 29-06-2007, 12:33 PM Obviously not, it's for people who like to be told what to wear when their out enjoying themselves and people who think that wearing a "smart" outfit somehome makes you more refined. No doubt it will attract the viciously tanned Crystal Staurday night crowd . If a pub wishes to be "up-market" then good luck to them, not everyeone has to fall in line with "West Street" policy type of pubs If all the pubs were the same it would be a boring world. People complain about the lack of upper class pubs in Sheffield and have to go to Manchester/London (ring any bells here) and when one comes along, it gets slated ... even before it opens. What type of pub do you want ?, you always appear so negative, so what is a positive pub for you ? crisps_uk 29-06-2007, 12:52 PM I totally agree with SPIDERPETE, I think Sheffield nightlife in general is going down the drain whatever your into or whatever you prefer to wear so we should all be happy for a new venue opening cause it mite become something big. Places like Gatecrasher, Niche etc put sheffield nightlife on the map with these clubs gone we need new places to open! nick2 29-06-2007, 01:00 PM People complain about the lack of upper class pubs in Sheffield and have to go to Manchester/London (ring any bells here) and when one comes along, it gets slated ... even before it opens. What type of pub do you want ?, you always appear so negative, so what is a positive pub for you ? I don't go to Manchester/London for the classy bars, quite the opposite. A good pub is one with no pretentions, good beer, good music, decent decor and interesting different people. crisps_uk 29-06-2007, 01:12 PM A good pub is one with no pretentions, good beer, good music, decent decor and interesting different people.[/QUOTE] WHAT IS GOOD TO YOU MAY NOT BE GOOD TO SOMEBODY ELSE, we all have different tastes. nick2 29-06-2007, 01:26 PM WHAT IS GOOD TO YOU MAY NOT BE GOOD TO SOMEBODY ELSE, we all have different tastes.

People might have to strike up and maintain a conversation. Judging by some of the sights on Carver Street every weekend night, this might be problematic for some of Sheffields residents. Joe90 29-06-2007, 02:39 PM This new pub sounds more like a bar, so i can see why people wouldn't like it if they thought it was a pub. These are two very different things. Pubs = football and pool Bars = ladies So what are you after? If you can't decide between football and ladies then let the music selection decide. nick2 29-06-2007, 02:53 PM Nick2 what does it feel like to be called 'kid' even though your into, *cough* your dirty thirties? :( it's quite nice. nick2 29-06-2007, 02:53 PM I used to think you were a good poster I'm eternally flattered (not) scottf 29-06-2007, 03:04 PM To be fair- its there bar and its upto them what door policy they choose cos at the end of the day if they choose a strict door policy and not many people go in then its them that will suffer. i think that it will do fine to be honest, sheffield is lacking in bars like this. SheffBloke 30-06-2007, 01:18 PM Couldn't get in Vodka Rev last night..........as I had trainers on, this dress code business is getting out of hand:hihi:, the fact that I was head to toe in PS didn't seem to matter:huh: gularscute 30-06-2007, 01:38 PM Already, from the arrogant twaddle spouted by the people who speak favourably of the ethos and policies of this place, I can see it being somewhere that sane people will avoid. 4orce 30-06-2007, 08:33 PM As events promoters within Sheffield, we appreciate the idea's that Listed have put forward. There are alot of valid and varying comments about what people think about the bar. What you've got to acknowledge is that one of Sheffield's main strength is it's ability to cater for a wide range of tastes and styles, as has been shown by successfull, nationally recognised establishments such as Niche, Gatecrasher One and The Leadmill. We're not saying Listed will be to everyones tastes, but theres deffinently demand for this type of bar in Sheffield, and it could prove to be a welcome addition to the Citys nightlife scene. We suggest you pop down and give it a try when it opens. kylehammond 01-07-2007, 12:40 AM As events promoters within Sheffield, we appreciate the idea's that Listed have put forward.

Soulgirlxxx 01-07-2007, 07:49 PM Leaving dress code to one side for a mo, do we have any details on the music? Are there going to be resident or guest dj's or will it be background stuff? I couldn't give a monkey's what people want to wear when they're out - i like to be comfortable depending on my surroundings and mood. At the end of the day if the music is good, the staff are friendly and the place gets a good vibe then that's what will make it successful. Just to be sure though, will I get in if I'm dressed by Primark?? hehe!

Blacksheep 02-07-2007, 02:36 PM I'm not a young drunken lout, or an old sod (yet) and i don't mind spending to go where i want to be but i'll be buggered if any bar is going to tell me what to wear and how to behave. Someone needs to tell the owners that customers aren't 'created'. I'm not scruffy when i go out but just coz i might wear jeans and trainers doesn't mean i'm less of a good customer than someone who chooses to wear a suit or trousers and dress shoes. If they want my custom they get me as they find me! High end my arse ! nick2 02-07-2007, 03:14 PM Is it foolish?

Hook 03-07-2007, 12:19 PM Some of the thinking behind opening boho on Campo Lane rather than on West Street was because the owner was worried about people having a lovely meal/evening/cocktails/insert here, and then walking out onto West Street into crowds of loud, yobbish student types. I used to hate walking back from work up West Street after a long shift, and putting up with people throwing up, being loud and often if I was walking home with a female colleague, fairly rude! So I can certainly see the logic behind people who are saying it's the wrong place. However only time will tell! honestjoe69 03-07-2007, 01:35 PM excuse me, could someone please tell me when exactly this bar is opening / what its called / where it is / direct contact email / phone number so I can be put on the guest list.

Geezer 08-07-2007, 07:07 PM Posted on behalf of Craig from Listed. The main opening night for 'Listed' is the 21st July. For those of you that have reservations and for those who seem to be pulling the place down before it opens, get yourself down there on opening night. There are no VIP's, no invite only, no memberships, no-one is more or less important than anyone else! As for a dress code....what would you feel is acceptable to wear in a classy new bar on a vibrant street anywhere?? You wouldn't turn up in a hoodie, wearing trainers and scruffy jeans would you? So dress as is appropriate! Come down and judge for yourself what the venue is like, get a taste for the music and meet the guys who own it. If you need any further info contact phil@big-fishpr.co.uk The proof will be in the pudding! PuressenceUK 08-07-2007, 08:49 PM I can't wait for this bar to open,this is going to be the coolest place in town, I personally know them Dj's and their music is second to none. If the music policy is to be any form of R 'n' B or dance you just lost a customer. There are already 1001 places playing this garbage at the weekend. Paulmat 08-07-2007, 08:54 PM ^^I't already been said that it's gonna be soul, motown and funk. Sounds good to me. I'll give it a shot when i'm next in town. No point slagging a place before you've been (like a lot of people on here seem to do). PuressenceUK 08-07-2007, 09:01 PM ^^I't already been said that it's gonna be soul, motown and funk.

Well that sounds much better (although it is a broad church!). Somewhere with some toe tapping Tamla might be great! honestjoe69 10-07-2007, 09:37 AM will there be an area to dance? tasty113 10-07-2007, 11:36 AM How strange though.... playing Northern Soul, Motown and funk and yet having a strict door policy. Doesn't that go against everything soul stands for? yep... anyway i wish them all the best... Ged303 10-07-2007, 05:51 PM will there be an area to dance? Yes there is. nick2 10-07-2007, 06:04 PM As for a dress code....what would you feel is acceptable to wear in a classy new bar on a vibrant street anywhere?? Well I've been out to lots of bars in lots of cities, most of them a hell of a lot more "vibrant" than West Street, and I never gave a second thought to what I was wearing. In fact I think the only place I've ever been turned away from a bar in my life is in Sheffield.

Well dont go then, gawd you keep harping on about dress code, if you dont want to dress smartly then stay away. It obviously isnt a pub for you. nick2 10-07-2007, 06:50 PM Well dont go then, gawd you keep harping on about dress code, if you dont want to dress smartly then stay away. It obviously isnt a pub for you. And you do keep harping on about me harping on. Just leave me to it. SheffieldRes 10-07-2007, 06:58 PM after a delayed start, i think it now opens next week...lets hope its better than some other bars on west st and not overpriced honestjoe69 11-07-2007, 08:56 AM after a delayed start, i think it now opens next week...lets hope its better than some other bars on west st and not overpriced I hope it is overpriced so I don't have to rub shoulders with groups of 18 year old kid "on the ****" or 2 bob millionaraires you think they are special but grumble when their lager costs more than £2 funkin4jamai 11-07-2007, 08:56 PM If the music policy is to be any form of R 'n' B or dance you just lost a customer. There are already 1001 places playing this garbage at the weekend. GUARANTEED SOUL ,NOT R & B OR DANCE MATE. mrplodge 12-07-2007, 07:09 AM I hope it is overpriced so I don't have to rub shoulders with groups of 18 year old kid "on the ****" or 2 bob millionaraires you think they are special but grumble when their lager costs more than £2 We would be drinking bitter Tyranna 21-07-2007, 06:20 PM Would 'Listed' be interested in holding the occasional 'Gay' Night? See my post on the other 'Listed' thread in the forum for more details. dinkdankdo10 22-07-2007, 12:03 PM It drives me mad....... I personaly and I am sure along with numerous other young professionals would welcome a up market bar in town. I am sick to my back teeth of steriod driven idiots everywhere covered from head to toe in G star which just give off the vibe of violence (step back as that general statement could get you)....I remember when vodka rev was nice both old and new, but not any more. It is full of prats, who think a good fri/sat night involves throwing a glass about. Ok they could have that bar as 23, common room, crystal, haylcon etc. (not the best list is it of Sheffields upmarket bars) are still about but oh my word they are like the plague they are spreading ! I work my ass of mon-fri and want to enjoy a nice atmosphere, a drink and good music without the feelng that it could all kick off anytime soon. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring in a bar that is upmarket and selective to who itlets in. Surely Sheffield has the potential for this, granted I do think it may take some time as everyone I know now goes to Leeds or Manchester for these sorts of nights as they are sick of Sheffield and the rubbish it has to offer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I now drink on eccy road mainly but they are all bars, how about opening a late bar on there that plays music (DJ) ???? funkin4jamai 22-07-2007, 10:38 PM The music will speak for itself and the atmosphere and people will follow,get ready Sheffield ,Listed is coming, a brand new bar on West Street. Solstice 09-08-2007, 05:30 PM Dress codes just remove your individuality, you have to dress to their specification, it's like wearing a school uniform and I for one won't be told what to wear by anybody. Great, even more clones... Bland Britain strikes again! Same hair, same 'designer' crap clothes from TKMax, same boring job, day in day out... same chrome and leather bar with tinted mirrors and low profile T-bar pumps spueing out the same fizzy dribble, to be supped by the same drunken drones... The most interesting thing to do in town these days is walk around and wonder at the sudden increase in fag butts outside the pubs :) At least they add a bit of diversity. Peace donuticus 09-08-2007, 07:02 PM I've been in a couple of times during the last week and I really quite like it. I haven't seen it at a weekend though. |
