The Boardwalk

Historic live venue at the edge of the town centre.
They host mainly local bands, old legends and tribute bands, but they often also have the occassional more modern or successful band.
The Boardwalk is quite small but is perfectly adequate for most of the gigs played there and can also really increase the atmosphere.
The staff seem friendly and the drinks prices are average, with promotions on for certain regular nights.
There is nearly always something on every night at The Boardwalk and there has been for decades. My parents recall going to see bands there and I don’t think that the inside has changed that much. Still, it stays current and has launched the careers of several bands.
Great local venue which will likely go on for years and years.

Love this place for seeing gigs. mainly my friends bands but still.
Is a legendary music venue in Sheffield, with lots of seating available. From looking at the recent listings, it seems to play host to a whole range of tribute bands! I have mainly been to see small, local bands. It has always been easy to get served, staff always friendly.

Home to legends and locals alike, the Boardwalk is Sheffield’s very own Cavern, a fifty year old music venue that has seen some of the greatest acts in music history pass through its doors, and is still going strong in the 21^st century.
First, a little history lesson for all you budding musos. Known at various times as the Black Swan and the Mucky Duck, The Boardwalk has seen Genesis, AC/​DC, the Sex Pistols and the Clash (their first gig!), and more recently David Gray and Ryan Adams perform onstage.

The Boardwalk is a fantastic music venue in Sheffield. Sadly most of the city life is now based around West St and the area the Boardwalk is in has just been forgotten about and is very quiet. However if there’s a good gig on there people will go. It has a great stage with excellent sound engineers, friendly bar staff. The venue is steeped in rock ‘n’ roll history and famous for being the venue the Clash played their first gig at, the Boardwalk is a must for anyone who has a love for good live music.

has great sound guys. and random chatty bar staff!
