Dog & Partridge

I absolutely love this pub, been going there ever since I was at Uni in 1989 (yikes) and it hasn’t changed a bit. Saturday afternoons in the back room with a Guiness and a book is ace, then weekend evenings there is always some live music to enjoy. Every night is different, always new friends to make.

Oy!
D&P is hands down the best irish pub in all of yorkshire. If you really want to hear some folk music on old timey instruments, have a smoke, drink a pint of guiness then listen up wanker, this place is spot on. I have never eaten anything in here, except for shots of jamison, the staff and owner of this place always remembers me even though as much as 2 years will pass in between visits. Long live Old English Pubs… Hear ye, hear ye…
Cheers!

Wonderful little Irish boozer in the citry centre of Sheffield ran by very friendly people (who also own the Grapes). Great for live acoustic music. On most nights anyone can turn up with an instrument and jam with musicians in the back of the pub. It’s customers are all ages and generally consist of regulars. Not many students visit the Dog and Partridge as they’re more drawn towards the bars on West St, for the average punter this is not always a bad thing. Beer prices are average and there are always several real ales available on tap. Definitely an essential part of any traditional pub crawl in Sheffield and another pub that has to be cherished as most traditional pubs are disappearing fast in Sheffield.

Looking for an Irish bar to go to in Sheffield? Well, Scrap Scruffy Murphy’s, offload O’Neills, drink in the Dog & Partridge.
This isn’t the best-​lit pub, and it’s made up of several rooms rather than an open plan, so at first it can seem a bit disheartening. Ignore this though, as the quirky layout is a strength rather than a weakness this is a pub that provides plenty of nooks & crannies for a good blather and doesn’t try to maximise seating by knocking the walls in.
The back room is where the music is played, and there’s always a good audience whether it be a local rock band or a traditional Irish session. There’s also the well-​decorated lounge which is stocked with token Guinness paraphernalia or my favourite spot the room behind the bar complete with cubby hole. From here you can shout your order through and beat the queues. Feel like a local celebrity! And there’s plenty to order: one of Sheffield’s best ranges of Irish and Scottish whiskey/​whisky is here as well as knowledgeable staff who know what they’re serving.
A smoky, intimate place that is now missing the smoke, the Dog should be sought if you like a comfy seat, warming malt and a place to watch some real characters.
