Went in the HARLEY last night which is now open until 12.30am, good crowd, not as crowded and noisy as the other late bar down the road on West Street, forget its name, and different to the Forum bar crowd.

What late bars are there in Sheffield as I only know of these three and want to find out where else is open until 12.30 or later...lets have alist and reviews of all of them..

West End Bar
Ice
Forum
Halcyon
Takapuna
Casbah
Stardust
Showroom

i like the harley, relaxed and friendly place to go with your mates and down the road from me!

I like the Harley too its chilled.

the casbah serves until 2am.
often frequented by alcoholics.
if you are a girl and left by yourself for more than 1 minute, you will probably have to brush off an alcoholic who wants to make "friends".
the remainder of the crowd depends upon which bands have been playing.
only a "late bar" mon-thu, fri-sat is a full on aging townie club night.
beer pricey.
black cabs often line-up outside.
no toilet paper in either the male or female toilets! bring your own ladies and gents!
"background" music often good but sometimes too loud.

all in all, better then the pretentious offerings from halcyon and showroom. relaxed. just bring your alcoholic repellent. and loo roll.

Sorry if I brushed past you the other night..just wanted to make 'friends' :)

I went to Harley last night with my fiancee... we were amazed how cheap the drinks were! £3.10 for a double vodka & red bull plus a pint of carling!!! Its a nice pub.. and within crawling distance of my house!

...only a "late bar" mon-thu, fri-sat is a full on aging townie club night.

usually i've only been when there's bands on, but went with a few mates one friday... utterly surreal. three sets of lads threatened to beat us up for being "arrogant students", giving them "funny looks" etc :confused:

it culminated in one group waiting for the six of us (2 women, 4 men) outside so they could have a go and my mate chris eventually persuading them that he was a UN peacekeeper and they shouldn't beat us up.

:loopy:

edited to say: trippets (on trippet lane) is pretty nice, it's definitely open late on fri and sat but not sure about the rest of the week.

Yeah, I think the Harley ace.

It used to be crap but in the last 6 months there's new management or something and they've done the place up and it's really cool.

It's next to the uni so we go all the time. They've even got discounted food for us poor studes all afternoon!!

They've put on some new nights, we go to 118192 most fridays cos it's about the only place to get cheap drinks at the weekend. And there's plenty of totty there too...ladies, take your pick!! you have to come down and find out for yourselves!

They also do 241 cocktails most from sun - thurs (i think) so we usually go for a few after uni!

My mate went to the live band night on a monday and she loved it, and ive also been to the tuesday (barber shop - pre tuesday club) and the sunday (12.30am on a sunday!!Yey!) and they were really good too.

It's basically the place to go if you want somewhere funky with cool music, but a less pretentious and try-too-hard crowd than the Forum. Its cheap and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and it's OPEN LATE!!! Just what Sheffield needs...BIG THUMBS UP!!!

Don't forget Trippets!

The Harley is on Glossop Road, just across from the Hanover Way dual carriageway... not far from university tram stop
