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!

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.

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.
good place.

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.
