Salt Sheffield, Kelham Island, Sheffield

Housed in a modern brick extension to the old elegant frontage of Green Lane Works it is a single blocky L shape. The counter is on the right once inside, after passing through a little seating area and a tiny snug like room off to the right. There is some seating near the counter and beyond is a front area with tall seating on one side and chunky reformatory style tables and benches. It has a food servery at the far end serving Korean food from an outfit called Seoul Chicken (geddit?). Beside that is an outside front seating area. Four hand pulls with a few of the Ossett brand which are bookended by keg founts for the Salt range of kegs; a continental style “ceramic” fount at each end have a selection of standard UK kegs. In common with other Salt branded outlets the cask beers are not of the highest order.

Salt is an L-shaped modern bar with flagstone entrance and a serving counter to the right and tables up the left to a street food kitchen hatch at the rear. On the counter are four hand pumps that were drawing Ossett Brewery’s White Rat, Yorkshire Blonde, Silver King and Halo. Leant up in front of the pumps were three real cider clips, two Lilleys and a Pulp. Premium keg was available alongside Salt’s own keg range. I like Ossett beers so I’d pop back in for a swift one, but I prefer a more traditional boozer, the sort that are abundant in this area.

Apart from the old works doorway, this is an ultramodern glass and steel place, with a large area of smart benches in the yard outside. The little bar at the back boasts a dozen or so of mainly their own keg with a couple of cask ales, which were a bit overchilled but otherwise pleasant enough. Food is available from a kitchen counter at the end.

Another modern bar in the area that seems quiet by day and lively by night. Four handpumps with just a couple of Ossett beers on during my early evening visit, these were backed up by a selection of craft on keg and should it be your thing, Cocktails on tap. Ok for a quick beer but I wouldn't linger.
