Jabbarwocky, Highfield, Sheffield

Strange place, with the name on the 'A'-board (Jabbarwocky) not matching that on the fascia board (Jabeerwocky). One might initially assume that it's a Polish bar, given the Zwyiec sign above the door (and this is still sold), but the modest selection of craft beers is otherwise more interesting than that. It also has the local Abbeydale Moonshine on the solitary handpump. Apart from that, the uncluttered interior has a mix of seating including a lounge area in one corner by the large front windows.

The former Bar Ambassada PL appears to have been renamed after a bar in Warsaw, appropriately or not remains to be seen. I called in just after opening time the other day (3:30pm on weekdays) to see what was on. There are still a few lager fonts, but just three "craft" kegs were available: a peanut butter, caramel and chocolate stout 8.5%; a raspberry sour 4.5%; and Juice Springsteen, a tropical IPA featuring "Pineapple, Mango, Passionfruit, Guava and Mandarin", also 4.5%. I couldn't summon up any enthusiasm for that trio, but my decision to leave without having a drink was largely influenced by the way the soles of my shoes were sticking to the floor in front of the bar counter. Photos of the original Jabeerwocky in Warsaw show a line up of 17 craft keg taps - maybe the floor is sticky there too.
