99p A DRINK

The bar offered drinks at an amazing 99p per drink right up until it closed. This meant the place could get packed to the rafters early on in the evenings. Saturdays tended to see the place full of Sheffield United fans during the afternoon regardless of whether or not the team was playing at home and the blades fans would stay in until around 8/9pm when the bar would see the pubbers and clubbers of Sheffield take over.

The bar closed at 11pm at which time everyone would simply go next door into Cairo's nightclub and carry on until 2am !!

More soon..

We used to go in Silks on a Friday night between 1994 and 1996.At any one time there could have been about 20 of us.Had a great time.Remember the madness that used to occur on the dance floor when House of Pain - Jump around came on !!! Remember the cheap Fosters Ice, then into Cairos after.

The layout/interior of Silks looking across to the DJ decks. 

What a bar this was. Busy, Fun, and cheap drinks all night too!
Then once Silks was closing everyone moved next door to Cairo Jax / Cairos!
