Red Deer, Sheffield

This is my favourite Sheffield pub, hands down. The quality of the ale is unparalleled, and they serve a wide variety of interesting local and regional ales from 9 handpumps. There's an excellent whisky selection as well. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with friendly bar staff always willing to provide a recommendation or have a chat. There's a nice beer garden out back with graffiti from local artists. The function room upstairs is home to a wide variety of events, including comedy nights, folk music, university seminars, and meetings. The 8:30 Tuesday quiz is a popular event that I particularly enjoy--rounds cover all sorts of interesting topics, and there's always a creative component. I've been coming here for over a year, and I've never been disappointed by the quality of the products or the service provided. Highly recommended!

I went in this pub before its refurbishment but i thought this was a decent pub when i went in, the pub was on two levels i sat on the lower one the seating was comfortable and i thought the pub seemed quite smart there were six real ales on the bar i had a drink of Kelham Easy Rider and this was a very nice drink the other beers were Black Sheep bitter, Tetley bitter, Bombadier, Deuchars IPA and Abbot.

I was at university in Sheffield for three years, and to my shame never got around to visiting this place. So last sunday's visit had been a long time coming, given its listing in the 2010 GBG which I have in my possession. It has a simple, crisp interior of comfy seating and dark wood, plus a real fire which burns away to the left of the entrance. Ales available were Castle Rock Harvest Pale, TT Landlord, Tetley's Cask, Kelham Island Easy Rider, Black Sheep Bitter & Battledown Natural Selection. Food was available and appeared good value, complementing a decent ale selection. Not in the elite of Sheffield pubs but a solid option for a swift one when in town.

The Red Deer has new tenants!! My partner and I took over 8 weeks ago, and since then we have given this lovely little traditional pub a bit of a facelift. We have restored the old fireplaces to allow for real crackling open fires in the winter and given the whole place a lick of paint, as well as completely refurbishing the toilets! The front of the pub is now deep burgundy in colour, fresh and inviting. We have 9 hand pulls, serving 8 real ales (which rotate every week) from around the country and one pouring Westons Old Rosie. We have a large range of whisky to warm your cockles in the winter, and we will be serving mulled wine and hot winter Pimms. Our gin range will be growing in the summer to keep you cool and refreshed. We will be serving a full home cooked, traditional menu, starting Friday 15th October. We will be introducing music nights, comedy nights, movie nights, etc. Any suggestions of what you would like to see in the pub, please let us know.
