Sheffield has a new nightlife gem: Cactus Jack's Honky Tonk, the latest bar and live music venue to open in the vibrant Devonshire Quarter. Located at the intersection of Fitzwilliam Street and Devonshire Street, Cactus Jack's Honky Tonk offers a fresh take on nightlife with its Americana-inspired decor, live country music, and immersive Nashville atmosphere.
Cactus Jack's Honky Tonk is the brainchild of Paul McIvor, the name behind the popular Cactus Jack's Tex Mex restaurant in Doncaster. McIvor has a proven eye for capturing the essence of American culture, and he has completely revamped the space to bring a taste of Nashville to the heart of Sheffield. McIvor said, "We are completely transforming the place. We've ripped out what was in there and put in themed furniture like barrels, and even themed light fittings,"” highlighting the meticulous effort that has gone into creating a unique space.
The decor includes rustic furniture and classic American fixtures, with eye-catching barrels and vintage-inspired light fittings that help transport patrons straight to a Southern honky-tonk. Staff members will be dressed in cowboy hats, adding to the immersive experience that promises guests a true taste of Americana.
Cactus Jack's Honky Tonk isn't just about the look; it's a celebration of country music, both old and new. The venue has a rotating lineup of DJs and live bands dedicated to the sounds of country and western music. From modern hits by stars like Taylor Swift to timeless classics by legends such as Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, the music selection ensures that both contemporary country fans and traditionalists will find something to love. The aim is to make every night feel like a lively Nashville night out, complete with all the charm and energy that define the genre.
The building that houses Cactus Jack's Honky Tonk has a rich history in Sheffield's nightlife scene, despite its relatively recent construction in 2008. Originally built to replace an older structure, it has since been home to a string of popular bars, each with its own unique character. Over the past decade, it has operated under various identities, from the lively Coco Lounge Bar - known for its large dance floor, private karaoke room, and late-night hours - to the trendy cocktail bars Zinc and Be At One.
Cactus Jack's marks a departure from the cocktail and karaoke-centric past of its predecessors, offering something new and distinct for the area: a venue dedicated to live music, dancing, and an authentic honky-tonk experience. With its Americana flair, the bar is likely to appeal to a wide range of patrons looking for a unique night out.
