theflcguy Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Wouldn't agree with the latter point. Think the space can and does work really well. There's a pretty clearly defined dancefloor, but I have seen the whole room dancing on quite a few occasions. ah thats sounds good .. Looks like its going to be alot of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt S Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Aw thanks guys DQ's an independent venue, bit like a night club, bit like a bar... It looks like this. We were nominated for best new bar and best cocktail bar in this years exposed awards, we also had three nominations in the best club night category (meaning five in total, fair play we didn't win any but that's more nominations than anywhere else in Sheffield). We love Sheffield, especially Sheffield music, we've had Milburn, Arctic Monkeys, The Reverend, Little Ze and loads more here (if you're into these bands come on Saturday for threads, gas club playing live, if you haven't heard them, they're amazing). We've also hosted some awesome names from the world of dance music, such as James Zabiela, Deep Dish, Elite Force, Graham Sinden, Nicky Blackmarket and others.. It's run by myself and all our friends, all we do is throw open invite parties! If we charge on the door it's just to cover costs for DJs or bands on the night, we're only a 350 capacity venue but it means that we get an awesome atmosphere down here. FLC will be incredible, been sending tickets all over the country, Yousef tomorrow night too people! Any questions gimme a PM or email me at matt@dqsheffield.com, or check out the weblink in my signature for more listings info.. (anyone with any more comments please post em, I like to have opinions to work with..and yes, I am strict on age ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodseats Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 The place is awful. It is very seedy and rife with drugs. I would stay clear if i were you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRINGITON Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Ha ha are you sure your thinking of the right place??? Ha ha, pretty unfounded statement (drugs or not, seedy's the last thing you could describe it as). Although that may be a selling point for some people (not any of us though, eh?).

Woodseats Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Ha ha are you sure your thinking of the right place??? I am positive. The upstairs area of a near-deralict set of buildings (mad greek) in what seems like the middle of nowhere, down from west one! You are going to be pro-DQ Cargo, as you have something to do with it. I am giving my opinion, as a neutral, and saying that a combination of things make it very seedy. The unfriendly, thug-like bouncers for 1. The characters that frequent the bar, remains of drugs in the cubicals in the toilets etc etc. Sorry if that doesnt please you, but its true. Id much prefer places like halcyon or crystal.

Im sorry but as a neutral how can you define a bar / club as a seedy hole and its not even been open for more than 6 weeks. Drugs can be found in the trendiest of clubs and establishments but does that determine it to be seedy. Would you say Fabric / China Whites (London) is seedy? and god knows how many drugs are in there not to mention the Gatecrasher days of old and Love2be. Halcyon, along with the forum is not as cool as DQ lounge as it lost its coolness when the townies invaded back in 2003-4. Its quite obvious that you have had some personal beef with the bouncers as to say they are all thugs is totally unfair. I would rather them to be tough on door policies than let in any idiot. I do not condone drugs but lets face it, it is and probably always will have an effect in British dance music club culture. I suggest you go to Kingdom, oops you will find drugs there i'm afraid.

weenireeni Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 think i'll have to check dq out after this thread, seems quite interesting! out of curiosity what are bar prices like? and do people go there and onto a club, or stay at dq? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha. Took this personally dj4321? You dont DJ there do you? ;-) Are you saying it is impossible for a place to be seedy when it is only 6 weeks old? I think you are wrong. I wasnt saying the place was seedy JUST because of the bouncers. I said they are one of the things that make it feel that way. You can go to bars like 23 and tell the difference between the doormen. As for the halcyon, id agree with you to an extent. It did lose its appeal around 2004, but this year it has gone back to the "good old days" and has a great atmosphere. I also agree with you on the drugs point. But like i said, that is just a contributing factor, not the main issue. Thanks for your recommendation of Kingdom. If my only choice was between there and DQ, i would take you up on it, and that is saying something!!! But, fortunately, it isnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theflcguy Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 lol well im sure the club will be just perfect for next friday . And thug bouncers are cool coz last time i went out one even had to apologise to me . Oh that was good! Any how yer drugs are just a way of normal everyday life. Unfortunatly they can upset many people but its down to the people themselfs who do them if they want to **** with them. These days it seems more eazyer to pop a few pills than spark up a joint!! :: Crazy !! :: Just because you can see and smell drugs gives people the idea that its bad! Any how thanks for everyones opinions. I have spoken to the gaffer of the club who sounds like a really nice guy so im sure nothing will go two wrong that night. Espech when you do alot of advertising and get alot of people to buy tickets. Thank you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
