The Blake Hotel, Sheffield

Side-street pub on a corner atop a steep hill, but fortunately this was in my favour as I returned to the city centre afterwards (having approached from a different direction). Unfussy, traditional interior. Good range of real ales in a range of styles from Neepsend and various guest breweries (and although I failed to note what I had, it was certainly in excellent shape). Must revisit for a proper look...

Sat at the top of Blake Street there is a very challenging climb to reach it from the bottom of the street, even more mentally challenging when you arrive at 11.40 and find out it currently doesn't open till 3.pm. However I returned at the correct time to find a very pleasant traditional pub as Will describes it below, a pint of Neepsend Karpo quenched my thirst. It was quiet while we were there , possibly due to the location but more likely the time of day, I imagine when a little busier this pub would have a very good feel about it.
