Visit the Yellow Arch music studio in Sheffield(Image: Open Heritage Days)<\/p>\nChatGPT has taken over our lives, but can it plan a decent night out?Visit the Yellow Arch music studio in Sheffield(Image: Open Heritage Days)<\/p>\n
What makes a great Sheffield night out? A proper pie with some Henderson’s Relish. An old-school boozer<\/a> down in Kelham Island. Having one too many in West Street Live. Who knows? But we thought we’d ask the all-knowing, definitely-never-wrong ChatGPT to see what it suggested to do for the best night out in Sheffield<\/a>.<\/p>\n For full transparency, this was the prompt I provided ChatGPT: “Can you plan me the best night out in Sheffield?” This was what it came up.<\/p>\n Start with drinks \/ dinner & a warm-up<\/p>\n Bungalows & Bears<\/strong><\/p>\n If you want something more food + cocktails + atmosphere:<\/p>\n Picture House Social<\/strong><\/p>\n Bungalows & Bears is a great choice, especially if you want to start your night out in town. A staple of the Sheffield nightlife scene, the bar, which now features augmented reality darts in the back, often has live music, a decent drinks selection, and an all-round decent atmosphere.<\/p>\n This is where the praise for ChatGPT ends, however. While Picture House Social was a lovely venue, and the ideal place to begin a pub crawl into town, it has now closed and has been replaced by Abbeydale Ballroom. I went to the new venue for the first time last weekend. It had a good array of seating, various different rooms, and anywhere that has Asahi on tap is a winner for me. But it’s not called Picture House Social anymore, and you won’t find any ping-pong.<\/p>\n Then \u2014 live music or early-night atmosphere<\/p>\n Yellow Arch Studios<\/strong><\/p>\n A well-regarded spot for live music \u2014 ideal for catching something interesting before clubs.<\/p>\n My Thoughts<\/p>\n Not much detail here from ChatGPT, but an excellent choice nonetheless. Yellow Arch Studios is a phenomenal live music venue, and has been central to Sheffield’s rich music history. There are quality artists and bands playing every weekend, and you can rarely go wrong going here.<\/p>\n However, I’m not sure how much travelling AI has done across Sheffield. To go from Bungalows & Bears to Yellow Arch Studios and back into town isn’t perhaps the most sensible route. And the less said about travelling from Picture House Social the better.<\/p>\n Corporation (Corp)<\/strong><\/p>\n If you prefer electronic \/ house \/ techno:<\/p>\n Tank<\/strong><\/p>\n Known for house \/ techno \/ bass-heavy nights \u2014 a go-to if that\u2019s the kind of music you\u2019re after.<\/p>\n My Thoughts<\/p>\n A night out in Corp – every basic Sheffielder has been there. The sticky floors. Falling down the stairs. Blue pints. It is an initiation for every late-teen. And Tank, admittedly not my scene, has been a long-running nightclub in Sheffield for many years. Hugely popular, and a good choice for those into house and techno.<\/p>\n I was, admittedly, a little surprised West Street Live was not included here. However, ChatGPT did pretty well with these suggestions.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re not after heavy clubbing or want a more relaxed but still fun night:<\/p>\n My Thoughts<\/p>\n ChatGPT cannot let the Picture House Social thing go. I’m also not sure I would say West Street or Division Street are “chill” vibes, even if there are some more relaxed pubs and bars on those streets. Kelham Island, however, is a top-drawer night out. Classic boozers, excellent drinks, lovely food, and a great atmosphere. Now that is a Sheffield outing!<\/p>\n Some practical tips for a smooth night out<\/p>\n My Thoughts<\/p>\n Certainly, some good tips here from ChatGPT, but it has failed to follow its own rules.
