I went on a Monday afternoon, found it to be very welcoming and relaxing pub quite hidden away. Ale and cider selection was superb. Heavenly stuff. Worth seeking out when in Sheffield. Short walk to the Fat Cat from here.

I really like the retro industrial chic of Kelham Island, and think it contributes to the ambience. It is neither a "dump" nor "dire".

Not much more to add than what's been said already.
Landlord was kind enough to give me a very nice Abbeydale beer towel in return for a contribution to the charity box, and then direct me to the Wellington so I could catch up with the others. Real shame I couldn't stay longer - had two fantastic beers: Brunswick Triple Hop and Milestone Colonial Stout.

Unlike "SilkTork", I don't care about the surroundings and don't think they would detract from the pub in any case. I agree that it is very much a scoopers' pub. One of the best in the best drinking city.

Ended my Sheffield crawl here for the first time in over 4 years last Saturday night. Absolutely superb beers available, and the Crown ales are absolutely BURSTING with flavour.HPA was exquisite.

Friendly locals, too, namely Nick and Ashley - nice of them to invite me onto their table. This is a great pub to finish a crawl given its late licence to 12 midnight on weekends, and it should be included on any Sheffield crawl.

Classic!

this pub has just changed hands again recently.
even after an admirable effort by the last managers.
remains to be seen how it will go now.

Thanx Stables entertainment, my mate was supposed to be doing his Elvis tribute there on the 19th July, he had a phone call saying he was cancelled because the pub was losing money & the guy who ran it was leaving, my mate has sang there twice before going down brilliantly, but i see there is a full entertainment package & a Robbie Williams tribute is on the night he should have been on, i think he has been cancelled under false pretenses as there is a Elvis tribute on a week before my mate should have been on, the whole thing stinks & artists should not be treated this way.

This pub is located on the Hillsborough tram stop. Was there recently (beer fest on)& v nice place. Staff efficient.

the rawson spring is originally a converted swimming pool building.
It has been a pub called "the deep end" in the past, which closed.
it consists of a large rectangular seating area and bar occupying the old pool area, with extra rooms toward the front, and an outside area.

it is now a popular in-town lunchtime stop-off with good selection of around 8-10 cask ales, keg beers & lagers, & bottled continentals, etc.
basically the usual wetherspoon selection of drinks & meal deals.
this is a day-time pub for me though. can't vouch for weekends & evenings.

plenty of picture-framed local historical information on display.
some shun wetherspoon pubs, but I always admire their ethos of restoring and utilizing some of the countries otherwise derelict properties, along with excellent value pricing.

This is a pretty new Wetherspoons and is lovely inside. There are a couple of rooms off the main area, and a lovely outside seating area too. The beer range is excellent for a Wetherspoon pub, possibly because of its location in a prime real ale trail hotspot. Well worth a visit each time I go to Sheffield.

Why don't I live closer to this great pub? I don't remember upsetting anyone in a previous life! It's just not fair.

A real ale drinkers heaven. Always a great choice of styles and strengths and the Abbeydale beers are excellent. The best choice of lagers from all over the world I've ever seen too.
The food is a bit dull and mushy. The live music used to be more varied and has been reduced to just one night. There used to be a lot more jazz which I liked so I don't make the journey so much now.
However, well worth going for the beer.

true it's a long way out of city centre, but make the effort and enjoy the Abbeydale beers which are excellent.
good place.
