Potential Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Compared to other major cities why is there a lack of decent late bars in Sheffield city centre? I don't mean nightclubs but rather places to drink later than midnight and not be subjected to pounding music. Is it a lack of demand? Does the Council (actively or passively) stymie these sort of places somehow? Or is it a combination of factors? Just trying to gather some opinions on the subject. Don't expect any answers from me!

Andy C Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 There are plenty of late bars, mostly on Division Street and West Street - most have music though as that is where the demand is! That said you could go somewhere like the Devonshire Cat or Shakespeare's Ale House - both open until 1am on a weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Where are you comparing to? I live in South East London (10 miles from central London) and we have only one late bar, which is open til 1am I think and a couple of nightclubs. All the other pubs and pars close at 11:00.

Lesterfan Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I agree, Sheffield is really lacking in good bars, especially good bars that are open late. Is there a market for a late bar that A) isn't rammed and B) doesn't play really loud music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Napoleons is our usual haunt if we don't fancy nightclubs. Sometimes Rileys but as of late it seems to be getting scruffier and scruffier, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no major issues with rammed late bars, we just don't seem to have ANY bars where you can drink (responsibly of course) til 3 or 4am that don't try to ruin your cochlea. And for whoever asked, I'm comparing Sheff to the likes of Leeds or Manc. I know we don't have the money that they do in general, but surely one little late bar would be viable? Hmm... I sense a business plan coming on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdog Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 if you need somewhere that's open late on a week night, the Forum is a good bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 What about Harley Bar? Not sure what time they're open until though. And yes I know Rileys is a bit *ahem* but as you say its a last resort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aelfheah Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Are there any late-opening, non-snobby or pretencious 'bars'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
