The Wobbly Dagger in Walkley has marked its first year in business with a birthday celebration and a newly expanded space, giving the popular South Road bar room to grow just in time for Christmas.
The bar opened on 9th December 2024 and has spent the past 12 months building a loyal local following. Owners Phil and Sue Coates Linley described the year as a whirlwind shaped by growth, hard work and community support.
"We're extremely proud of what we've achieved," they said. "Thank you to everyone who has visited us over the last 12 months. You've helped us grow in more ways than you'll ever know."
As part of the anniversary, the Wobbly Dagger has expanded into the space that previously housed its deli. The extension brings more seating, room for private functions and a larger stage for live music nights.
"There's been a lot of work to do, but we're extremely excited to show everyone," the owners said.
They described the project as "hard work, blood, sweat and tears," but said the result has been worth it. "The new space is only going to make the Wobbly Dagger even better," they added.
From the start, Phil and Sue have focused on making the bar a welcoming and sociable place for the whole community.
"We try to make it a nice place, safe for everyone, whether you come alone or with friends," Phil said.
Sue said the emphasis has been on conversation rather than distractions. "We want it to be somewhere you can talk, not with music or TV on the wall. There's enough places like that," she said.
The couple say the bar attracts a wide mix of people. "We've got a lovely crowd of all ages, from older teenagers to families and pensioners. People say hello all the time," Sue added.
They also spoke about the importance of bringing energy back to Walkley after the quiet period of lockdown. "After lockdown, people really wanted to support small places. Bringing a buzz back to the area is really important," Sue said.
Live music nights have played a big role in that, drawing in both local residents and artists.
The Wobbly Dagger celebrated its birthday on 12th December with live music, food, cocktails, beers on tap and, as the owners put it, "free hugs."
"We're feeling overwhelmed and happy beyond belief," Phil and Sue said. "Here's to the future."
