Stoatwobbler   10 #42 Posted July 9, 2012 How come all the best pubs are miles away?  Some parts of Sheffield have truly outstanding pubs, other areas are pretty awful for pubs to be honest.  If you want the best Sheffield Pub then I'd suggest The Sheaf View, Shakespeare's, Rutland Arms and Sheffield Tap for starters.

PeteM01 Â Â 10 #43 Posted July 9, 2012 My favourite is the Harlequin (good beer and food, very friendly). I was worried on Friday night when the river was only a couple of feet from flooding the cellar again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
TAT   10 #44 Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Some parts of Sheffield have truly outstanding pubs, other areas are pretty awful for pubs to be honest.  If you want the best Sheffield Pub then I'd suggest The Sheaf View, Shakespeare's, Rutland Arms and Sheffield Tap for starters.  You list the Rutland Arms, a pub i visited on Saturday, over priced and ill kept beers, sorry i know its about opinions but i was very disappointed. The first pint was "Seven hills" chilled and a good looking tasty drink, the second could not have been more different, flat as a pan cake and different again!!! yet it was the same "seven hills" !!  Went on the The Nelson (Fannys) no complaints there . The Moorfoot was next , just to see if it was as bad as 2 decades ago ! it was  The Sheaf Island next, am not a fan of Wetherspoon outlets in general, but a well appointed pub with cheap well kept ales and a clean outside area to catch the sun rays.  The sportsman next, no working real ale pubs on !! On to the Cricketers again the real ale pumps were dormant !  Over all a disapointing crawl if your in to the real ale scene. Back to Kelham Island in future.

DerbyTup   10 #48 Posted September 4, 2012 What gives you the right to call people low lifes? Are you some super human who is greater than every one esle?  Are you denying that low-lifes exist by any chance?  I think it's fine to categorise people because how you categorise them depends on what your own reference points are.
