• Address: 182 West Street, Sheffield, S1

In the 1980s the Hallamshire Hotel was a pub on West Street in Sheffield which was regularly frequented by students and local musicians It also had an upstairs room that was a popular place for bands to play. Before joining Pulp a young Nick Banks for a while organised these gigs. He took the bookings and was stationed outside the room to collect the 50p entry fee. The bands themselves were responsible for publicity.

Between 1980 and 1991 Pulp are known to have played here 12 times (including twice in one day). Jarvis also played here with various early 80s side projects, such as Heroes of the Beach, In a Belljar and the wonderfully named The Jarvis Cocker Explosion Experience.

As of 2025 the Hallamshire Hotel is again a live music venue and today describes itself as a music hall and late bar. Before this it went through a period of around 20 years when it traded as a pizza restaurant and cocktail bar and was known by various names including Bloo 88.
