Not sure if this (http://www.sheffieldgayscene.co.uk/) is any use.
Being straight i dont often look into the gay scene.
Welcome to the forum by the way:)

Google is awesome. Also you may want to have a look at Dempseys. Its the most popular gay bar/cluyb in sheffield. I myself dislike the place and found it a little dingy both times I was dragged there by gay friends but then again I'm straight and thus have no taste according to them! :(

I've always thought dempseys looked a little dingey, surely it isn't the main venue?! Why did fuel shutdown?

In the meantime, try and get down to AFFINITY every Tuesday night from 9pm for my unbeatable Drag Cabaret and DJ Baby D, plus Drinks for £1....!

You are not a gay, I am the only gay in this village :).

Depending on what you are looking for, Lions Lair Tuesdays is the meeting point for Uni and Hallam LGBT societies. You can be any age to attend, bottle offers and free food. It is generally a little more subdued with music and lighting for more chatty atmosphere, those that want to party in to the night, head to Dempseys around half eleven.

What does underground mean? and also you did not mention Lions Lair, Affinity, Sanctuary, Identity, Climax/monthly, Speedqueen, rah rah rah etc etc.:loopy:
