BarryRiley Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The problem with 'nice wine bars with relaxed atmospheres' in England is that the only time you can really use them is a weekday because at the weekend anywhere that serves alcohol will be wall to wall. You might get a seat if you get there at 1pm and stay put but you're not just going to be able to walk in at 8pm, grab a table and enjoy a nice relaxed evening. Plus the lack of table service means that half of your night is going to be spent standing behind 400 other people looking for a 'nice relaxed evening' at a bar. I used to like Sheffield nightlife and it has some great bars but I would always avoid the weekend like the plague. I used to enjoy a nice quiet Sunday pint though.

taxman Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I used to like Trippets in the dim and distant past. Shame it closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claret Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 West 10 in Ranmoor is probably the closest you'll get to what your looking for. Yep. Agreed. Bit of a trek, but worth it! ---------- Post added 03-04-2015 at 23:27 ---------- I used to like Trippets in the dim and distant past. Shame it closed. Dada has now closed... not sure what'd going to happen to the premises now... but it would be amazing to have a decent wine bar again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil-minx92 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Another vote for West 10 in Ranmoor. Quite intimate, and a very nice restaurant upstairs too. Once the wife has had her fill of Wine you can pop to the Ranmoor inn or the Rising Sun for some beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudbeer Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 So the missus says to me on saturday night, "is there a nice wine bar in Sheffield? somewhere with a good choice of wines by the glass and a nice atmosphere and crowd?" And I struggled to think of one. Years ago there was Menzels on Ecclesall Road. In the days when Mr Michael Menzel ran it. There was a fabulous choice of wines on offer, a nice upmarket atmosphere, attractive surroundings and nice food too. But last time I went in there it had gone downhill massively from what it was. I honestly can't think of anywhere? (All Bar One maybe? but can't think of many others) I've been to the Pointing Dog btw - which is the new Josephines on Ecclesall Road. Nice place inside but crammed and noisy at weekends and full of all the old folks that used to be in Josephines 30 years ago! Anyone got any suggestions for a nice, intimate, wine bar with good choice of wines by the glass and an upmarket, non-pretentious, atmosphere? I really like all bar one for a change. Its not cheap but not ridiculous either and offers a good range of wine and continental beers. It is spotlessly clean and the service is very good. However as someone else said Friday Saturday night like most good places its just to busy to really appreciate unless you go early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockneynorth Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Give Amici's a go. The (relatively) new wine bar attached to the rear of the Devonshire Arms in Dore. The two parts of the building are kept separate - so it really feels like a proper wine bar - and if you need a decent pint - plenty on offer front of house. Good food too....

happyaslarry Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 West 10 is your best bet; a bit cliquey but welcoming host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
