AmberLeaf Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Anyone been in recently? No. It really doesn't sound like my cup of tea. I walked past not long after it opened, and it seemed so pretentious. Besides, I like cozy places out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottf Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Anyone been in recently? I have been in for a couple of meals and found them to be good quality plus they serve beer lao which is really difficult to get hold of in sheffield for some reason!

First of all, I'd like to apologize as I thought it was ' Bar and Beyond 'on West St. Second, why would I go in a place, regardless of which it is, or who owns it, if the feel from the outside is that it's going to be full of idiots showing off. Shouldn't places you go in, give a good impression from the outside too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go where you want - you don’t know anything about the place though so it’s wrong for you to start staying that it’s full of idiots showing off cos you have no idea if it’s true. You’ve just taken your own personal feeling and opinion and projected it on a place you haven’t even been in - then wrote that feeling and opinion on a forum. Weird.

Martin C Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 hmmm. even I as a big beer drinker (in both senses!) don't think that actually makes the Botanist rubbish. It's a cocktail bar, I'd expect them to be faffing about with cocktails (though if you're waiting a long time maybe they need to revisit staffing levels), and wouldn't expect an exciting range of draft beers any more than I'd go to the Shakey and expect them to make me a mojito or daiquiri I'd agree it's somewhere that I'm unlikely to go anywhere soon, but don't think I'll write it off as 'rubbish'! Not unknown to have to wait in Shakey while the (excellent) staff have to faff around serving free beer samples, free glasses of water or 50p mugs of tea though.

jemson Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 We went in a while ago for a midweek lunch, expecting it to be quiet but it was pretty busy. Amazing inside the restaurant. The food was fantastic, really surprised me, and the beer list was BIG. Tried to go there for a family meal at the weekend but they were fully booked! I must admit that I was dubious about this place fitting in to the Sheffield `vibe` but it`s certainly quality, bizarre, but quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
