Graham Coombs left this review about Kommune

One of those long-term 'temporary' food hall places, in the former Co-op building, so a typically stripped-out basic interior with an attempt to tart it up with some fairy lights. Street food vendors are clustered round one side, with the usual area of benches and tables to the other facing the drinks outlets. The main bar has a fair row of keg taps with a selection from Freedom and oddments from Salt, Purity, Beartown and Camden. Alongside is the smaller Hop Hideout bottle shop and bar, which has a few extremely strange brews - mainly collabs - and a fridge full of equally curious stuff. No cask ale in either of course and most prices are north of £5. Presumably it will disappear when they find a new use for the building but it offers a little novelty for the moment.

Kommune is a food hall with drinking options. Occupying Castle House, that used to house the Co-op and latterly the post office in Sheffield's town centre, this building had been mostly vacant for a long time until this innovative idea was put forward. The large and mostly unfurnished space, with glimpses of the fantastic staircase that linked the Co-op's many floors, is occupied by various food outlets and a plethora of numbered tables, the idea being that you order your food (fish, pizza, Indian street food, etc) at the various counters, and when it is ready it is brought to your table.

There is a bar with keg beers and ciders, but no real ales, plus water and other non-alcoholic drinks, and of course there is nothing to stop anyone buying just a drink, if they wish to do so. The beers include a lager and a pale ale from Freedom Brewery of Rugeley in Staffordshire (both vegan), plus Reverie from Abbeydale and a couple of beers from Neepsend: Wolf IPA and Blonde.
