bungleboy69 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Not Sheffield but I'm glad to see that the wonky pub that was demolished by new owners in the Midlands is to be rebuilt. I'm definitely off for a pint there when it's been sorted. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/feb/27/owners-who-demolished-crooked-house-pub-after-fire-ordered-to-rebuild-it?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy builders submit your estimates now. Surely the best pub in Sheffield is the one you're currently sat drinking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's owned by the Everly Pregnant Brothers, Richard Bailey (Dicky Bailes) is the one who's mostly involved with it, we did a paint job and window replacement on it at the end of 2022, it's a great traditional looking pub and Richards a lovely bloke.

Longcol Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 My favourites are my locals from when I lived in Sheffield - Closed Shop and Hallamshire House on Commonside - still visit when I'm back in Sheffield to catch up with the (sadly dwindling) band of old friends. Good beer, friendly staff, good company. Also a soft spot for the Red Deer which I'll usually visit if me and my eldest have a little walk about in town - nigh on 50 years since I had my first pint of hand pumped beer (Tetley's) in there. Favourite ever beer in Sheffield was the hand pulled Stones served up by Fred and Edith Woodbine in the Hanover House, late 70's / early 80's. followed by Tetley's in the White Lion, same era, when Dave Tollerfield was landlord. Rough pub? The inaptly named "Friendship" in Stocksbridge in the early 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played a gig there on new years day and I can say that it was the friendliest, cleanest, warmest place I've ever been in. I just wish it was my local, I'd never be out of there.

Martin C Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Ten years ago I moved (from Doncaster) to Sheffield and chose my new flat on the basis of all the great real ale/"craft" beer pubs around Kelham Island/Gibraltar St. Had many amazing nights in Shakespeare's & Kelham Island Tavern and met several great friends. Then the yuppies moved in, generally arriving late (approaching 11pm) and freeloading every night "Oh, may we have a little taste?" (free sample of course - tightwads!) scrounging off both the pub (these are often 'high value high ABV' beers) and paying customers (the pubs' beer pricing obviosuly had to factor in all the free samples kindly donated to the freeloaders), The pouring of the free samples also delayed service for those customers who knew what they wanted and were happy to pay the relevant price for same. Additional glass-washing costs too. I was so p*ssed off by these parsiminous types that I stopped using the otherwise excellent pubs they infested. I now drink in what's very much my "local". 5 minutes from home - a proper pub run by a proper 'no-nonsense' landlady. Less "specialist" in terms of high end beers- though I have been enjoying an 8.4% double IPA (on keg) over recent weeks. Hic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
