Kelham Island Tavern

It’s a fine pub but fairly basic though it has a good range of real ales. It’s comfy and welcoming but has no outstanding features to drag you back. Theres a modern extension and a smallish front bar which felt a bit tight.

First-​rate real ale pub in Sheffield, a 15-​minute walk from the city centre.
Superb pubs in England are often to be found in the least likely places. In Sheffield, The Devonshire Cat is one (totally boring, anonymous neighborhood, see my review) — the much more famous Kelham Island Tavern is another. Calling its location an urban wasteland isn’t too much of a stretch. Close by, btw, is another famous local pub. The Fat Cat. So, speaking as a real ale lover, if you’re in Sheffield, you wanna go there.
The selection of beers — from hand-​pumped British real ales to European lagers — is very impressive, and the décor is by no means stylish, but cozy and intimate. There’s solid pub food (not available all day, plus the usual selection of snacks from crisps to Scottish eggs. The staff are knowledgeable about the beers and friendly, too.
If you need another reason to come out to Kelham Island, one would be a visit to the fairly interesting Kelham Island Museum, which is another 5 minute walk from the pub and focuses on the city’s history of steel manufacturing — one of its attractions is Britain’s biggest surviving working steam engine.

A Sheffield institution. A lovely pub that apparently can get heaving. Luckily this Sunday afternoon was not one of those time.
Enjoyed an Abbeydale Calypso, from the 13 beers, below average in price only it would seem. Get a ham or cheese roll for just 1,70, tide you over till your next meal!
Researching the interwebs highlights the carpark outside as a prime dogging site, so there you go!
