Problem here is that if I post the name of the best pub in Sheffield on this or any other site people would be tempted to go and have a look. One of the main attractions of this pub is that it's a local pub for local people.

Depends on what type of pub of course.
If it caters for kids then Brewsters is the best in Sheffield as it has an internal play area and the meals are good and reasonably priced.
The down side is the staff are not as welcoming as the pub which is a shame because some, not all spoil a nice place.
A good long custumer care course would do them good.

For a proper pub, you can't beat the Porter Cottage on Sharrowvale Road.

I don't go to too many pubs, but I like the Swim Inn on West Street, mainly because it's cheap

For city centre pubs I'd vote either the Howard or the one near the Town Hall that's going to be demolished soon to make way for a car park.

Locally, the Robin Hood on Greaves Lane or the Crown and Glove (aka Top House) on Uppergate Road have been regular watering holes of mine for years, especially the Robin Hood back in my student days.

At this moment it's the Cremorne Hotel on London Road. I'm there at the moment having been driven to drink by people on the 'Hathersage wind farm' thread.

Cheers!!

The Rose and Crown (Wadsley Village) and the Rivelin Hotel are nice cosy pubs.

Downtown, not the best pub, but one of the best for a 'first pint' or to meet up is the Bankers Draft.

The Devonshire Cat has some interesting Ales - changed frequently.
