Dog and Partridge


Genuine Irish pub
56 Trippet Lane
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S1 4EL
United Kingdom
+44 114 249 0888
Despite the English name, the Dog and Partridge is a real Irish pub. Irish run and Irish patronized, you can forget your O'Neill's and Scruffy Murphy's - this is the genuine article! The Guinness is sublime. Tetleys and Magnet are on tap as well - but who's going to drink those in this environment? Live music is performed every night: the repertoire is mainly traditional Irish, but it changes, depending on who turns up and the landlord encourages diversity, so if you fancy giving your didgeridoo an airing, you'll be very welcome. Food is limited to chunky, home-made sandwiches and chips, and is served at lunchtimes only.

This large, modern, multi-purpose indoor arena, with a maximum capacity of 12,000 people, is one of Sheffield's most popular performance facilities. Many world-class popstars, such as Bob Dylan, Tina Turner and, more recently, Westlife, SClub 7 and the Corrs have all performed here. The arena also hosts ballet performances and sports events such as stunt car racing, and basketball and ice hockey matches. The arena has a modern, well-maintained feel and facilities are good; there are a number of outlets both inside and outside the building which serve fast food and hot and cold drinks. Ample parking facilities are also available.

Lescar


Welcoming pub; great live entertainment
303 Sharrow Vale Road
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S11 8ZF
United Kingdom
+44 114 268 8051
The Lescar probably has the least prepossessing exterior of any pub in Sheffield, but don't be fooled; there are treasures within. The taproom and lounge (although neither win any prizes for décor) both serve a good pint (the options include Stones, Timothy Taylor and London Pride). Food is available from 5p to 7p during the week and is an excellent value. Lasagne, cajun chicken, or a mixed grill all appear on the menu regularly. But what makes the Lescar so special is what goes on in the backroom - real live entertainment such as a live band on Tuesday nights and a Jazz Club on Wednesdays. Most importantly, the Last Laugh Comedy Club on Thursdays has a national reputation for innovative comedy. This is Sheffield's own Edinburgh Fringe; don't miss it!

Mojo's Bar


A relaxing venue for live music, good friends and a jug of beer
The National Centre for Popular Music
Paternoster Row
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S1 2QQ
United Kingdom
+44 114 296 2626
Mojo's bar is located inside the National Centre for Popular Music - although the exhibition has now closed, the bar remains open. Themed around an American diner, with separate booths, large windows and additional unusual touches, this is a great venue for bands, DJs and comedy. When not playing host to a live act, the bar offers a modern and relaxing environment in which to enjoy food and drink. Its central location makes it an excellent meeting place, especially for movie goers, who tend to gather here before going to the Showroom cinema. If you are looking for a drink in a place that is a bit different from the regular city centre chains, Mojo's could be a good place to try.

Old Grindstone


Spacious local with plenty to offer
3 Crookes
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S10 1UA
United Kingdom
+44 114 266 0322
The Old Grindstone has broad appeal, but also retains its local character, with an open fire and old-fashioned furnishings. It boasts up to eight cask ales, including Kelham Island Gold and a surprisingly good (for a local pub) range of coffees and wines. Food is served at lunchtimes and in the early evenings; the quality is usually good and there is a real emphasis on local produce and dishes (such as Henderson's meat and potato pie). A varied programme of entertainment is also provided; live jazz is played on a Monday night and the excellent games room boasts three pool tables. But the pub is large and if all you want is a quiet evening drink by the fire, the well-planned interior can also accommodate that.

Trippet's Wine Bar


Intimate wine bar in simple surroundings
89 Trippet Lane
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S1 4EL
United Kingdom
+44 114 278 0198
Trippet's is one of those rare places that's so good you can't believe your luck when you find it! In a side street close to the city centre, this intimate wine bar provides excellent food and wine in a simple setting. There are two rooms, one of which is furnished with wide wooden tables and is used for eating and drinking, while the back room (which is more sparsely furnished) is mainly for music and dancing. The bar has a late license until 1 am and live music - mainly rhythm and blues - plays on Friday and Saturday nights.

Walkabout Inn


Total relaxation by day, clubbers by night
Carver St
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S1 4FS
United Kingdom
+44 114 241 3400
http://www.walkabout.eu.com/
With décor inspired by all things Australian and signs using language straight out of the worst Aussie soaps, Walkabout is a popular venue with students and young locals. Its city-centre location ensures that, on weekend evenings, its roomy dance floor is packed with pre-club revellers. During the week, the promotional drinks offers draw in students. Weekly events include karaoke, sports nights, live music and tribute band nights. By day, the scene is one of total relaxation with large comfy sofas to chill out on and TV screens to entertain. Walkabout is also one of the very few Sheffield city centre pubs to have a large beer garden.

Walnut Club


Vegan treat
Main Road
Unit 6, The Square
Sheffield S32 1BB
United Kingdom
+44 (0)1433 65 1155
http://www.thewalnutclub.com/
When options like live jazz and patio seating come together with organic vegan fare, vegetarians are bound to be lured. The interiors here have a modern approach to it and while stainless steel tables and chairs line the patio, the dining hall inside is cosier. The dishes are prepared by chief executive chef Nick Wilson, winner of the Michelin award. Come by on Sundays to partake of the Sunday Roast feast.

Yates's


Lively outlet of national chain
25 Carver Street
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S1 4GE
United Kingdom
+44 114 279 8099
This branch of the national wine bar attracts a relatively young crowd (most customers are aged between about 20 and 35), especially at weekends. The décor is modern and includes a spacious drinking area on different levels, with a separate dining area for those who prefer it. Acres of wooden floors and panelling create a rather exclusive feel, but the food is of the burgers and filled jackets variety. Nevertheless, it is very good value, with most dishes costing less than £6. The beers on draught include Stones and Caffreys and an extensive cocktail menu is also available (cocktails are about £3 each). Live bands play here about once a month and DJs appear at least once a week.

Yorkshire Grey


Large student-orientated pub close to Hallam University
69 Charles Street
Sheffield S1 2NA
United Kingdom
+44 (0)114 275 6675
This bar, located close to Sheffield Hallam University, has a spacious bar and seating area. You will see small groups of thirsty students willing to consume large jugs of sickly-sweet cocktails or gallons of ale. Not surprisingly, this is a popular mid-week and weekend pre-club venue for younger drinkers and there is something going on here on most evenings, including a bar quiz, live music and themed party nights. There is also a pool table and a large beer garden, which has a gas heater. Food is served all day and the menu offers a wide selection of substantial meals at reasonable prices.
