Lions Lair has a real fire and friendly staff - Also if you like Karaoke, Affinity also run a Karaoke night mon night with DJ Anja Bach and Sanctuary do it Sunday night also - not forgetting Dempseys do it on Wed and Sun nights ...
... also not forgetting the Roebuck Tavern does it on a Fri eve and could be considered a mixed/gay friendly place ...

lion's lair :)

i would highly recomend affinity, friendly patronage and staff, allways feel welcome there, and its not too in your face as i would consider dempseys and exes to be

dont bother with xes its full of druggies and str8s anywhere that opens till 6am and stops serving at 3am, means trouble, stick to town bars and you will be fine

That's rather unfair, they have very good and observant security, and all their staff are among the kindest people and can handle any situation.

Club Xes is also the ONLY regular Transgender venue, with LES FEMMES transgender nights EACH AND EVERY Friday (EXCEPT first Friday each month which is Bears Night).

BTW, Could any venues altering their hours over Easter Weekend from Good friday to BH Monday, please post altered times in this thread.

Thanks!:hihi:

mmmmmm im not gay

but wen im walking back from embrace :hihi: dempsy's :| freaks me n the lads out

no offence to gay people

take a different route home ?

I go to Dempseys a lot and sometimes go outside for a cigarette, and I have noticed when Embrace closes this group of lads come past on their way home. They freak me out cos if they cant pull in there why the hell would a gay guy want them!

Sounds like they secretly want to go in or else they like looking at "zoo animals behind bars" - they are the freaks ...

Dempseys is OK, bit of an institution and Climax has its moment but tbh, the other gay places in Sheffield are full of young guys/straight girls/bitchy queens and not all that great for the older crowd (depending what your age is, of course!?). Might be better travelling over to Manchester if you're looking for a bit more variety.

Yes Spider Petes web site is really comprehensive - there's not a thing moving in Sheffield thats gay that he hasn't got covered :-)
