Where's good for the more casual jazz scene in Sheffield? I mean, the 111 Club is lovely, but you can't go there for a relaxed drink on an evening. I'm thinking somewhere like the old Casablanca's, late of Regent Terrace (and before that, Devonshire Street): homely, but full of ambience. All and any suggestions welcomed! :)

Showroom bar do jazz on a sunday, which is quite nice and chilled. The 111 club is great, but know what you mean, always feel I'm going to get told of if I actually try and talk to people I'm with!

where's the 111 club?

Arundel Street. Just around the corner from The Red Lion

Never heard of it, is it new?

Is it good?

I'd love to get into Jazz, but never got round to it :(

I think it opened about a year ago.

The Lescar Hotel Sharrowvale Rd nr Hunters Bar.
Wednesday nights. Well established long running event.:thumbsup:

Whats that little place on Ecclesall road called? Its almost opposite the Nursery Tavery, set back in its own courtyard? - I've heard they do nice acoustic/jazz and the like.

There's Trippets on a Thursday night - Sizzlers Jazz club I think they call it, which has the the live music ambience that you're looking for.

Alternatively try Trippets on a Wednesday (yes that's my night and I'm plugging here), it's free to get in, open til 1am, with a tables and chairs, lowlit candlelight vibe, with DJs playing everything from 50s Jazz & swing thru Studio One, thru cookin' 60s/70s soul, thru brazillian stuff, thru Gilles Peterson inspired breaks. Plus more

Oh and we've got board games, VJ projections and a dance floor that can get lively in the latter part of the night...

Excellent. Delicious menu - a bit pricey, but justifiably so - and the atmosphere is wonderful. They have live jazz Tuesday-Saturday nights. Great winelist too... :9

Thanks everyone for your help! :D
