Museum Public House
Large city centre pub located next to Orchard Square shopping centre and split over three levels. Serves food all day and has a well-stocked bar.
Built on the site of the mortuary for Sheffield Hospitals, the vaulted ceilings can still be seen in the cellar. The pub has gone through many name changes since it opened in 1897. It was originally called The Museum, but as the Orchard Square development was built around it, the pub changed its name to The Orchard, The Brewing Trough and The Hogshead, before finally reverting back to its original name in February 2005 after a complete refurbishment.

The pub previously known to many as the Hogshead in Orchard Square is now called the Museum.
The advent of "designer glasses" has apparently made the theft of glasses from pubs even worse. Stella Artois and Guinness have both recently launched new style glasses, which have become a popular item to take home after a night out. The Hogshead (now Museum) in Orchard Square claims to lose over 20 glasses a week, mainly to students. Manager Mark Simmonite says that when students arrive at university they often forget to bring glasses, cutlery and ash trays with them. His pub seems to provide a place where all of these items can be "borrowed" and never returned. The Devonshire Cat on Wellington Street has a special "Yard of Ale" glass designed for Belgian Kwak beer. The beer costs £2.70 but you'll have to put down a £10 deposit for the glass because it's so popular that many customers are tempted to take it home with them!
