The Three Tuns, Sheffield

This is a nice looking pub that has'nt altered that much inside in the last 20 odd years. When i first went in this pub it was a Tetley tied house and on my last visit there was still Tetley bitter on the bar which was a decent drink the other beer was Taylor Landlord. I think this is one of the better pubs in Sheffield city centre. Pub visited 10 March 2007.

This thinly wedge-shaped pub looks lovely from the outside and you are able to sit in the pretty windowed apex which is rather good on a sunny day (I did!). Three ales were available (Tim Taylor Landlord, Stones and Tetley Bitter). My Stones (£2.40) was fairly poor, there was a hint of tinny baked beans in the taste; my TT Landlord was a lot better (though it would have struggled to be much worse than the Stones). Piped music was of the ‘trying to funky' variety, presumably in an attempt to appeal to the half-a-dozen suited workers from the HSBC offices opposite indulging in an after-work beer. The interior has a very plush-80's refit feel, even down to some big leafy pot plants which I remember being so de rigueur in my childhood - perhaps this place might get listed as an unspoilt interior in 20 years time. On the one hand, I really rather liked the character of the pub and would like to go again; but on the other I would struggle to recommend it for the beer above the many great institutions within a 15 minute walk. Let's say it's worth popping in if you have time or happen to be nearby.
