Sheffield Beer Week

Because some pubs, bars, micro pubs and beer shops are worth the effort.

The pubs listed below are in varying residential areas of Sheffield (Ecclesall, Netheredge, Kelham Island, Broomhill, Abbeydale and more), all with good public transport infrastructure and not far in a taxi ride!

The Ale Club
Adding to the micro-pub trail on Eccy Road, this laidback and friendly spot is run by the team behind The Brew Foundation. Sit in the window and watch the world go by. (Ecclesall)

The Bear
Newly opened beer emporium in 2021 along Abbeydale road, towards The Cremorne pub. Drink in and take out available. Six keg lines to choose from. (Abbeydale)

The Beer House, Ecclesall
Sheffield’s original micropub houses just 40 drinkers but they are well provided for with six hand-pulls. Focussing on Sheffield’s breweries you can expect to find Blue Bee, Bradfield, Stancill and Abbeydale in top form. (Ecclesall)

The Beer House, Hillsborough
The brand new second micropub from Sheffield pioneer’s The Beer House. More of the same cask goodness, right on the tram route too, on the way to football or just if you fancy a beery jaunt round the Hills suburb. (Hillsborough)

The Beer Engine
An ideal starter pub to begin exploring the Abbeydale and Heeley beer routes. Try their small plates and tapas offerings such as pan fired chorizo or spicy Korean chicken wings alongside a mighty fine beer. (London Road)

The Broadfield
Nine hand pulls – including their individual house ale First Blonde (using Maris Otter malt and Cascade and Willamette hops) brewed at True North Brew Co – and eight keg lines showcasing forward thinking UK independent breweries make a trip out of town worthwhile! Great food menu which changes seasonally and a large beer garden. (Abbeydale)

Brothers Arms
Six hand pulls, including Brother’s Pale (4%) brewed by Bradfield. The interior is reassuringly relaxed and classic with black and white check flooring, wood paneling and an all-important dartboard. (Heeley)

The Closed Shop
Sitting opposite the Hallamshire House on Commonside the pub is now run by Stancill Brewery. Expect to find a host of Stancill beer on cask and a guest selection to boot. A warming ‘proper pub’ food menu has reinvigorated the venue recently, look out for vegan dishes too. Eight handpulls, four ciders and an intimate garden. (Walkley)

The Cremorne
A proper boozer serving local cask beer, pies, pickles and live music. You’ll often find Little Critters, Abbeydale and Pictish cask ale on the bar. Lovely stained glass and the the original pud dates back to 1833. (Abbeydale)

Dead Donkey
A new neighbourhood bar run with a good selection of keg lines and cheese toasties. You can find a bangin’ cocktail too (just saying!). (Abbeydale Road)

The Itchy Pig, Broomhill

The Itchy Pig, Banner Cross
Bringing more of their cask and conversation good times to Banner Cross, the Itchy Pig crew have launch venue two. (Banner Cross)

Jabbarwocky
Once a Polish bar, new ownership and a name change bring a fresh focus. You can still find your fav Polish lager but now too a great craft beer offering and dumplings on the menu. (London Road > Abbeydale)
