Real Ale Pubs: Recommendations Required

Anyone recommend a real ale pub that's not one of the following:

Fat Cat

Kelham Island Tavern

Hilsborough Hotel

Depends what you're after, but do any of these help?

New Barrack Tavern (Penistone Road)

The Bath Hotel (off West Street)

The Red Deer (off Mappin Street)

Devonshire Cat (off Dev Green)

and the Moonshine in the Washington is good too.

i like the Sheaf View hotel on Gleadless rd nice and friendly and good for real ale too

Sheaf view is great, really good lagers as well, Budvar, Bitburger ect.

Never tried The Bath, can't get friends to go there...they seem afraid of it being full of old men with flatcaps and whippets.

Errrr...there's a (harmless) mad professor type with a bow tie sometimes, but apart from that it's mostly postgrads/postdocs and the like (sans flat caps and whippets). And the tiled floor is worth checking out anyway.

N.B. I have nothing against old men with flat caps and whippets.

The Gardeners Rest on Neepsend Lane is fantastic. Quiet, but the decor is nice and the beer is incredible.

Carry on down London Road away from the city centre and then (just before it becomes Chesterfield Road) there's a left turn on to Gleadless Road under the railway. Sheaf View is just up there, about a minute's walk from the main road.
