The Beer House, Sheffield

It's hard to compare this excellent establishment with a typical British pub as it's more comparable with a continental bar. However, it has six well kept real ales on draught, friendly staff, civilised punters, no music, fruit machines or food and that scores 100% with me. I spent a very enjoyable afternoon here and I will return as soon and as often as I can. Best of luck with the venture.

Popped in for a quick one only to find that there are no real ales on board, which was very disappointing as the barmaid was very friendly and the decor, whilst dated looked very comfortable especially the long curved bench in the bay window. I was advised to try the Brothers Arms nearby which was excellent.

I've been meaning to visit this wonderfully preserved old style English boozer for some time and I found it to be the quietest, most tranquil pub I’ve ever been in even though there were others drinking. No muzak, pool or fruit machines - nice!

I’ve been in pubs where I was the only customer which were much livelier but what’s not to like about that? - long may it remain so.

The pub only has two rooms which is a very pleasant change from the open plan style of so many pubs these days. Friendly, knowledgeable landlord and staff make this a calm retreat for anyone just wishing to while way an hour or two.

Definitely a place to return to.
