Sheffield Water Works Company (Lloyds No 1), Sheffield

Although this is still a Lloyds number one on Wetherspoon's web site with music in the evening, during the day it is very much a standard Spoons. It was quiet on my pre-midday Saturday visit. Despite the grand exterior of the building it is a fairly standard Spoons inside but without the claustrophobia of a shop conversion. I didn't investigate upstairs. The bar had only six handpumps which were selling GK Abbot and IPA, Doom Bore, Acorn Ella IPA, Elland Old Skool and one I didn't note. I went for the Acorn Ella IPA (£2.10) which was in reasonably good nick but with a reminder that this is Yorkshire so the Sparkler was full on. This is a reasonable sort of Spoons that could possibly have been better given the large building it occupies.

This is a large Wetherspoons Lloyds pub in a converted building. Once inside i went up a few stairs and there was a large room with the ber facing you there were four or five real ales on here and the drink i had was very nice but i car'nt remember what it was. The pub was almost empty at about 10.30 saturday morning so i grabbed a seat next to the window which looks out over the road.

Presumably named after the building in which it occupies, there were four ales were available with only the one guest (a very good Thornbridge Jaipur IPA). It's a two-tier affair inside with the upstairs area being a decent stop for a beer and cheap food during the day (provided you don't mind the sticky tables) as my window seat afforded a nice place to sit. If you're on a town crawl it probably isn't worth stopping though but it isn't too bad for a Lloyds style JDW.

Nicely appointed Lloyds No.1 on one of the main bar streets in Sheffield. There's a small 1st floor area to the left as you enter which is quiet & pleasant early on a Friday evening. Apart from that it's one large room. The bar is facing you as you enter and there were a couple of guest ales available. The pint I had was in good nick and fast, efficient service as well which was a bit of a surprise. It's OK in here early evening but I suspect it gets a lot busier later on.
