Trippets, Sheffield

Many moons ago this was a pub called The Red Lion. It's now a full blown real ale bar having recently done away with the "Wine & Champagne Bar" bit of it's name and installed a further 5 handpumps bringing the total up to 8. 5 Thornbridge beers including Lion Ale which is rebadged Wild Swan plus 3 changing guests. The Thornbridge Hopton was in very good condition. There are two small rooms to the left of the door as you enter. One has a number of dining tables & chairs the other has an armchair and other oddments of furniture. To the right of the bar is another room with a small stage in the corner where two guys were doing an OK job of some cover versions. Live music features all the time in here now. It's a decent place but it was very quiet on our Wednesday night visit at about 10:30. I suspect it's not always like that.
