Well
if the city’s fine range of clubs, bars and restaurants haven’t
kept you happy there’s lots of alternatives to keep you on/off
the straight and narrow.
For the full range you need to get your hand in your pocket and
get your very own Dirty Stop Out’s Guide
Here’s a few ideas for now. |

Owlerton
Stadium |
Tel:
0114 234 3074
Penistone Road S6
www.owlertonstadium.co.uk
The
sparkly new corporate box facilities with the best views in the
stadium are a far cry from the situation in the early nineties when
the venue was lucky to drag 900 through the turnstiles in any one
week.
They’re notching up 5,000-plus these days, with women making
up a good 50% of the audience on many nights, and even hold greyhound
racing’s only Ladies Day.
If you’d rather swap four legs for two wheels, they’re
also home to Pirtek Tigers and the Pirtek Prowlers speedway teams.
Racing takes place every Thursday night in the season, greyhound
racing happens every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday night and every
Monday and Thursday dinnertime.
If you really fancy making an event of it you can try Napoleons
Owlerton Casino next door when you’ve said goodbye to the
dogs. |

Dancing
Dollar |
Tel:
0114 242 2434
429 Effingham Road S9
www.dancingdollar.co.uk
The
city’s first foray into the world of lap-dancing. Situated
in Attercliffe - home to sex supermarkets, the much publicised La
Chambre swingers club and many a gay bar – the Dancing Dollar
has weaved its way nicely into the Sheffield community without really
upsetting anyone (a far cry from the city centre’s Spearmint
Rhino which did little else but on its run-up to opening).
Run by former furniture warehouse owner Ron Unthank, the club holds
regular charity nights, has a large pole, looks like a big, bright
café bar inside and is situated in the former Planet nightclub
building.
Does its bit for equality and has regular male strippers for the
ladies as well.

Ju
Ju Club |
www.jujuclub.co.uk
Born in the winter of 1989 this world music club spent many years
at Crookes Working Men’s Club where they fought –
and helped win – equal rights for women.
These days they reside at The Boardwalk and also provide sounds
for Headcharge and present the Live at Bukowski’s event
at Bukowski’s Piano Bar.
They bring in musicians from around the globe and have a totally
non-commercial vibe.
