Moby Duck left this review about Alder
A modern bar with a bit of a warehouse taproomy feel about it, from the five handpumps there were a couple of Ossett cask beers on as well as my choice of Blue Bee Reet Pale available which wasn't completely to my taste but was ok. Certainly a place worth a look but it wouldn't be top of my list in the area.

Will Larter left this review about Alder
Formerly the occasional bar of the Sheffield Brewery, which has been mothballed since the Covid pandemic and the premises are now called Alder, with an improvised interior and a sketchy beer garden in what I assume were formerly workshops and such, like most of this area. I did call in once before, but it was a weekend, and too noisy for me so I didn't join the queue. Last week's visit was a Friday, but early enough in the afternoon to be fairly quiet. The presence of a small hen party was a hint of what it might be like later. There were four hand pumps on the bar (see photos): I went for the local Grizzly Grains, but I have yet to be impressed with any of their beers, and this one didn't break their duck, probably not helped by being a little flabby (NBSS 2.5). The Rudgate Battleaxe, one of two from this usually reliable brewery, was a bit better (NBSS 3) but nothing to write home about. To be fair, if the plan had been to stop here for three pints I'd have been happy with just Battleaxe, but being five minutes walk away from the Kelham Island Tavern and the Fat Cat, this bar - although pleasant enough - needs to try harder to get my repeat custom.
