About this place The Forum

The Forum is Sheffield's most consistently LGBTQ+-welcoming bar — a large, multi-room venue on Devonshire Street in the West End that has built a reputation as the city's most inclusive space. Mixed queer crowd, live events, regular Pride programming. The student-heavy demographic of Sheffield (four universities, 60,000+ students) gives the venue a young, progressive character. Open daily; busiest Thursday through Saturday.

A decent range of beers plus the coffee shop down the steps at the end leave plenty of choices. Like many pubs dogs seem to be welcome however it also seemed fine for the dogs to just roam the pub unattended. Worth knowing if that could be an issue for you.

Lovely venue, unfortunately got asked to leave at 10:15, even though the venue states on google that it is open until 11pm
