The Doctor's Orders is an independent pub at 412 Glossop Road in Broomhall, a stone's throw from Sheffield city centre, the Hallamshire hospitals and the university — a cheery, student-friendly West End local. It runs a Tuesday-night pub quiz at 9pm and a monthly acoustic night on the last Saturday of each month, with the venue's identity built around live music, sport and a curated food-and-drink menu. A relaxed, grassroots-leaning spot for acoustic and singer-songwriter sets in Sheffield's West End.
