Let's be perfectly clear, right off the bat: Corporation is disgusting. If you come here in soft…read moreshoes on a weekend, you're going to need to disinfect, bleach, and then BURN THEM, in that order, to avoid your previously fancy footwear dissolving into arcane sludge and then slowly eating through your carpet. Having said that, some of the best nights of my life have been at Corp. I've been going to Resistanz festival every year for the last four, and if I'm in Sheffield for any other reason I inevitably wind up there. Every time, and I do mean every time, I see my friends get obliterated, hook up, and dance like maniacs. There is some strange bayou magic to its foetid bathrooms. Yes, you may lose your kicks, but beyond a shadow of a doubt, the price is worth paying. Incredible bands, fantastic DJs, a friendly clientele, and my favourite accent in all of Yorkshire combined with some of the best alternative music going and cheap drinks. If you're in your stompiest boots (and you should be), what's not to like?

The rating is the most difficult bit of this review. It no way reflects the fun I've had in this…read morevenue, it's just... I kinda have to be honest and review it as a facility rather than the quality of the individual nights I've had here.... I will explain.. Firstly I should mention I don't live in Sheffield and have probably been to Corp in the region of 8 to 10 times. Some of those were for gigs, some for club nights and three times for Resistanz festival. It's relatively easy to find in the depths of Sheffield (situated about 5 minutes from The Moor) and puts on a plethora of gigs and events throughout the year. I actually really like the exterior. It gives the feeling of a dirty warehouse club and is spot on for what you'll find inside. There are tables outside which come in very useful if you're at a gig (and the courtyard isn't open). You can't take your drinks outside the venue, but this is perfectly fair (as there are plenty of places to stash on the inside of the door). This particular time around, the smell of vomit really hit me as I went in through the dingy corridor. In fact, I had to go straight outside again so as not to be sick myself. I understand that with the cheap drinks prices and the clientele it tends to attract on certain nights that people probably do drink to excess, it's just never been as bad as any other venue I've ever been to (and that includes Snobs in Birmingham!). Once you get used to the smell, you can hit the bar. On a club night the drinks are ludicrously cheap (70p a single vodka and coke)... That is, if you can call it Vodka. I steered clear on my last visit and stuck to the £1.50 cans of Cider (which my body seemed to thank me for). There are 3 rooms inside (side room, main room and upstairs) and each comes with it's own bar. There is also a separate club area (called Local Authority) attached to the venue and a very large courtyard. Now... If you're a visitor to this venue, you know I HAVE to mention the state of the toilets. They should come with a health warning, seriously. If you have a toilet seat, a lockable door, toilet roll AND handwash; you are in the minority. Normally you might get a max of two of these essential elements. On a side note, Local Authority seems to actually have half decent toilet areas so the venue really needs to pull it's socks up on this. The sound can be quite hit and miss for live acts. It's been excellent for some gigs and terribly poor for others. It can really depend on the sound tech's whether you get an enjoyable aural experience. However... I guess sometimes it just doesn't matter. When you've had enough 70p vodkas on a club night, you probably wouldn't notice. Another quick warning; watch your drink! Everyone should always be wary in clubs, but I've seen spiking quite prominent on some nights at this venue. The security are actually pretty good and seem to keep an eye on everything, but I guess that says more about the clientele that use this venue on selected nights. Oh! And make sure you take enough cash out with you! There is a cash machine in the venue, but it was charging £2 for withdrawals last weekend (which could really hit you if you're on a budget). Finally, no goffick's life would be complete without at least one trip to Corp. I have always had a great time here (despite the toilets and the smell), but that's largely down to the nights I frequent. Don't let this review put you off visiting as the atmosphere can be electric (and worth suffering all the other stuff). Go, visit, enjoy and write your own review.

Backstreet Boozer - Lacks Customer Service…read more If you're even considering setting foot in this abysmal excuse for an establishment, do yourself a favour and don't. In a city like Nottingham, brimming with exceptional venues that raise the bar for quality and service, this disgrace somehow manages to scrape the absolute bottom of the barrel. The so-called "customer service" here is nothing short of a shambles--marked by sheer incompetence, an utter lack of basic courtesy, and staff who seem to have perfected the art of being surly and unhelpful. But the real pièce de résistance of this disaster is the landlord, who somehow manages to be even ruder than his staff. Whether you're a first-time visitor, a local, or simply someone with a shred of self-respect, avoid this trainwreck like the plague. Nottingham offers an abundance of refined, reputable establishments where patrons are treated with the professionalism and respect they deserve. Save your time, money, and sanity--bypass this disaster and enjoy one of the city's far superior options instead.

The staff are all lovely and friendly and very helpful. There was a large group of us and the barman brought our drinks over to our table. Also when my friend spilt his drink there was immediately someone there with a cloth to mop up even before we asked. They have a great selection of real ales on tap as well as a good selection of the usual lagers and beers. There is also a selection of food and snacks. I wasn't too impressed with the cleanliness in the ladies toilets but it was the end of the night. One of the nicest things about this pub is that there is no loud thumping music so you can sit and have a relaxing drink in a nice atmosphere and chat easily without having to shout to your friends.

I have never been here and not met friendly people who just make your night even better. The price is pretty decent like any club in Leeds really, but the free entry and atmosphere make up for it.

Formerly a dark, dingy pub that had a notorious reputation as a fierce Leeds United-supporting hostelry, it's quite amazing to see it today. It's undergone real renovation and going by the listings, is definitely a welcome addition to the LGBT scene in Leeds.

As Tim M has mentioned, this pub stands proud on the edge of the city centre as if to remind folk…read morewhat a true pub is. From the outside it's true, it's a touch on the mucky side (perhaps being on top of the city loop road would be a big reason for that) but once you are through those doors the story is a very different one. The entire pub is linked in a circle, revolving around the bar, which makes for a rather quirky and exciting lay out. With shining quirky windows, original stained glass, newly polished woodwork, old school drapes and comfy padded seating this place is an excellent example of a proper cosy pub. There are little nooks all over the place, as well as a comfy well lit main room, and the selection of beverages are pure Sam Smiths. That means a few things. Number one, the cask ale was delightful as was the organic wheat beer. And number two - a round in here is seriously affordable. To top it off the wheat beer is being sold at half price in a promotional offer, that is, £1.34 for a pint. Oh yes, that's right. So, there's no music, plenty of rooms to have a good natter, friendly lovely staff (who talked with us a great deal as we were leaving about the place) and a selection of delicious drinks. Win all round! The only sad thing is that is would be the perfect place for a traditional jam session. I can see those cosy rooms filled with fiddle players, guitarists and cheer in the winter months, but alas, that's not to be. Still, there's no reason that we can't all go along for a pub quiz in its stead, a board game session, or even a bit of a poker match. We can be creative, but let's do it here - the pub's a gem.
