ReviewA new pub in Sheffield city centre - handily placed between the Ponds Forge leisure centre and the tram stop of the same name. The premises were formerly occupied by a cafe, and have an irregular shape because of a stair well in the corner of the building.
The bar is towards the rear and features three hand pumps. There are also some keg fonts and to the right a couple of fridges with other beers, ciders and lagers. A full list of drinks is kept up to date on the blackboard to the right on entering. The walls are grey and the floor is wooden, but the furnishings are more colourful, with blue dominating.
The bar opened on 16 December 2016 and has been picking up a regular trade from local workers and passers by. At the time of my visit beers on tap were Ilkley Mary Christmas, Bradfield Farmers Blonde and Wadworth Dray Bells. My half of the latter was in good condition and although this is not a part of town that I would normally frequent, I wouldn't mind popping back another time. It will be interesting to see what the real ale selection is like when not dominated by Christmas beers!
