i don't think i've ever been to this place... unless i was extremely drunk and can't remember :)

i saw it a couple of weeks ago when i went for a chinese

what's it like?

cheers

Exactly what it sayd on the tin, its a Rock Bar, very friendly. Quiz and pool competition on Thursdays. Best nights in my opinion are Wednesdays (Rockaoke run by KJ Venom from the Forum), Fridays and Saturdays, although DJ Les is getting a bit deaf I think as the music is so loud downstairs that you can't hear yourself speak

One of only 2 full time rock pubs in Sheffield. Does what it says on the box, if you want rock, you got it. .an essential part of the Sheffield weekend rock circuit, and like the Dove and Rainbow, a 'pre Corp' watering hole.....

Classic rock downstairs on Saturday nights,you can't play that stuff too loud!

Thank you for the compliment. I just enjoy myself on a wednesday night play the music i like and hope everyone has a good time.

Les is a living legend in rock! :headbang:

Definitely.....he started before me, I think he said back in 1977.......thats one hell of a career for a DJ!

oh and to add to this, they have the most comprehensive (read delicious) and competitively priced cocktail menu in any bar I've been to.

Love place xx

sounds like my sort of place where is it exactly ?

It's at the bottom of Pinston Street, across from where McDonalds on the Moor used to be, next door to Curry's.

It can be friendly depending on what you wear :s:

The reception my bf and i have had has differed dramatically depending on what we were wearing! When he's wearing band t shirts etc then generally its ok but the time we went in and he had a shirt etc on, wasn't such a friendly reception. That was on a saturday mind

Really? There are loads of people downstairs with shirts on on a Saturday night....Does he have a skinhead?

This pub is ok but much prefer Dove and Rainbow

Thanks for the comment, but I think both of us, Dove + Rainbow AND The Nelson, deserve a lot of credit for doing stuff no one else in Sheffield dare do! I like to think that both of us offer a decent alternative haven from the maze of cloned 'plastic bars' that have sprung up all over Sheffield......long live rock and roll.....we love tattoos, leather, denim, long hair and total wierdness!!!!!!

Just off to Nottingham to see Buck Cherry tonight, and will be doing the essential Nottingham rock pub crawl....Nottingham has more rock pubs that we do so I am expecting a very lively and thriving rock scene down there....I LOVE ROCK N ROLL

Have a great Saturday night Sheffield, its my 1st WHOLE Sat off completely in 3 years so I think I may PARTY!!!!!!!

Nottingham is a great night out, but I found Rock City to be a bit of a let down when I got there. All the rock pubs like the Sal were great though

Really? I thought Rock City was awesome last night.....did the Salutation but the upstairs bit was closed off...did the Tap and Tumbler which was quite cool too....

How was your night, GoldenFleece? I was living in Nottingham from 90 - 93 and did Rock City every Friday and Saturday - til Saturday became too androgynous so we switched to the rock night at Central Park... or hitched (eek! My Dad would kill me if he knew) up to Sheffield.

We used to go to the Sal and the Tumbler, and our last stop before Rock City was always Fagins :)

Good times.

Hope you had a brill night :D

It's a great place, with live bands playing downstairs, and I think they still do Heavy Rock Karaoke on Wednesdays, although I haven't been there for about a year.

From my experience, I always have a great night in there no matter what I'm wearing. I've been in my work uniform, a "trendy" shirt as well as band shirts and no one bats an eye-lid. Someone I work with looks really chavvy in what he wears and he was scared to go in. But he's been in a couple of times and loves the fact that no one says anything or looks at him weird.

Are you sure you're not just being paranoid?
