I like Tequlia bar

Last weekend I went out in Leeds for a stag do and I must admit it did make me realise that Sheffield's bars need to pull their finger out a little. Plenty of the bars we went in were classy with a full range of ages and all were playing live dj music, plus they were all completely full on a freezing cold rainy night. This is something i think Sheffield is missing - having the usual crap blasting out the speakers from a cd doesnt create the atmosphere you get from someone working the decks. I would certainly be interested to know of places in Sheffield that has a similar style.

^^Tequila Bar, Revolution and Bai Hoi all have a DJ at weekends and serve good drinks etc...

Agree tequila and revolution fit the bill quite well. Every time I go into Bar Hoi it seems full of blokes!

If you keep your eyes peeled on the evenings out pages, the cargo lads will be making a special announcement which will hopefully interest you all bearing in mind the two main points raised here has been live DJs and West St......

Keep a look out!! :)

Muse, Bia Hoi, The Forum and The Ivory are my favourites in the West Street area.

hey come to the washy where we do a big rammed house-party style thing called: Groovin' 4 Grown-Ups. And I'm not just giving your promoter-spiel. It's good - if you come you'll enjoy it...

p.s. je suis un DJ

They're all here (http://sheffield-central.com/weststreetbars.htm). must say, I like Old House & Green room, followed by Lounge.

:) cheers guys - wasnt expecting such a good response - shall keep a lookout for those places

yeah for me you gotta have someone on the decks - its just a whole different feel

......very interested in what the cargo chaps are planning - are the playin a bar then? enjoyed em at plug before

Jagz 112 ( Sony BMG ) @ Bedroom 9pm-1am Funky House and RnB

cool - thats sound like my bag - is that towards the town centre end of west street?

ta

on the corner of west street and carver street opposite walkabout... note, you wont get in with trainers on.

I'd skip West Street and go to Division Street if I were you. The Forum sounds right up your street.

thanks guys - started off in the lounge...and then the lava lounge (obviously a theme going there!) -then after that we went straight to Plug and had a top night at Zogg :D

Cavendish or Varsity perhaps

There are no good bars on West Street anymore in my opinion. Better off going to Division Street and going to Bungalows and Bears and The Forum.

Muse, The Lounge & Tequila?

Tequilas my fave too:)

I like Tequlia....you've gotta squeeze a bit of time in there for Reflex and a bit of 80's though :)

Bia Hoi's a horrible place. Expensive drinks and as much atmosphere as a cardboard box. Nowhere on west street really stands out, division street's a lot better.

Loving The old house at the moment, Washy and the Harley will get a look in if i can be bothered to walk that far. Like Bungalows & Bears despite me falling out with them the other week. Lounge still ok. Frog and Parrot, Common Room and Forum all ok. Dunno what's happened to Green Room in recent months though - it's gone seriously downhill! Shame as it used to be my absolute favourite place to go.
Can't think of anywhere apart from Lounge i like on West Street.

The Green Room seriously needs a window that opens it's always boiling in there at the weekend, and that crappy old fan on the ceiling does bugger all.

By the way, Tequila is awful. I hated every minute in there last time I went in.

Whats awful about it?

I agree, what's awful about it? (Apart from the steps down to the toilets!)

They do good drinks, it's smart and clean (including the loos), they tend to play good music, they're open late. My only complaint is it mainly has an erm... older croud. ;) (Well older than me anyway)

they tend to play good music,

Dam right!!

oh, btw - they Lounge is looking nicer these days - new wallpaper and Djs at the front - nice :)

have to agree lounge is looking really nice now. but not very busy anymore.
anyone any ideas why.

saying that town in general isnt very busy.

ive noticed that! I blame this impending credit crunch and people not having as much disposable income...
