Matt S Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 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. We use the same door firm.. Just so you know.. I apologised to you when you spoke about this last time.. I thought the issue was that you couldn't get in? How many times have you been here to make such a damning statement? As for drugs, we have a strict policy on anyone caught with drugs here. Fair play though, an opinion is an opinion and I'm sorry you feel that way.. Everyone else, thanks for the support.. out of curiosity what are bar prices like? and do people go there and onto a club, or stay at dq? Hiya, we offer doubles for singles on our house spirits, that means a 50ml of Smirnoff, Havana, Bulleit, Malibu, Tanqueray, Archers or Baileys is just £3 including mixer.. All night every night.. We have beer offers on other nights too.. Generally people stay here for the nights we have (including Threads. Razor Stilletto, Circus, Future Funk, Bass Bar, BUG and others).. Come down, give us a try! Peace guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play though, an opinion is an opinion and I'm sorry you feel that way.. Everyone else, thanks for the support.. I have been twice. Once when the doormen had attitude and decided not to let myself and a friend in due to "members only". I then went a week or so later to give it another go. Maybe i caught the place on a bad night or something then. After your comments above, i will give it another go and see if i was wrong.

dj4321 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 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. No I do not dj there for your information, however it is a desirable place to dj. Your definition of Seedy seems to be very confusing. I always thought a seedy place was somewhere that was quite poor and tacky, bad interior, very dark lighting, full of undesireable people. Its funny because I went down last night and it was full of people that used to go to the Halcyon and forum back in there glory days. I even saw some regulars from Crystal. For anyone that is reading this; please ignore Woodseats because he obviously is bitter about the doormen. The music is old skool and the clientelle is strictly over 21. It is one of Sheffields coolest nights in terms of good atmosphere, style and sophistication. Even if i did dj there, i would gladly tell the truth as some people may find dq a bit pretentious. Remember we are in Sheffield for god sakes not the West End (London) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdnaKrabappe Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Went on Saturday and had a top night. Better than other late bars in Sheffield IMO. I'd agree with commentors who have said it's like the Forum used to be years ago when it first opened. Nothing like it is now. Played a good mix of music. I danced to newer stuff like Pete Bjorn and john and older stuff like Too much too young:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdnaKrabappe Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 God this is an old thread! Was a bit confused when i first started reading! Sorry to see you've left Matt, who is taking over? And hope you have fun on your new ventures. Looking forward to this Satday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBal Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 DQ's okay. I've been a few times when they've turned some of my mates away because they said they couldn't go in unless they took their jewellery off, which kinda puts me off going.

Matt S Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Aw thanks guys, Deano is in charge now and he'll obviously do a cracking job I'll let everyone know if/when i get a new venture on the go... Also, the jewelery issue is just one of them, if taking a gold chain off is too much to go into a venue then they probably won't want you in anyway... Big love xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBal Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 But why should they have to take off their jewellery - it wasn't gold either, it was silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
