We asked The Star’s readers to name their favourite beer garden at a pub in Sheffield, and we had hundreds of responses. Recommendations ranged from traditional pubs with sweeping views of the countryside to more quirky offerings, including hidden sun traps and riverside spots, as well as beer gardens with plenty of space for the children to run about. It wasn’t all about the location, with many of you recommending them based on the quality of the food and beer.
We couldn’t include all your suggestions but here are some of those which cropped up most often.
13. The Brothers Arms, Heeley
The Brothers Arms on Well Road in Heeley, Sheffield, has great views over the city. Susan Staniforth Milligan was among those who recommended it, writing: "If you want a beer with a view, and friendly staff, you cannot beat Brothers Arms at Heeley." Photo: Google
14. The Wisewood Inn, Loxley
The Wisewood Inn, on Loxley Road, Sheffield, won both the best beer garden and best Sunday lunch categories of the Dog Friendly Sheffield annual poll in 2021. Janet Thornton recommended it for the award-winning real ale which is made on the premises, though she did warn people that the parking there is 'rubbish'. Photo: Submitted

The Sheaf House on Bramall Lane is popular with Sheffield United fans. Michelle Briggs recommended it for its big beer garden, where she said 'the kids can have a kickabout'. Photo: Google
16. The Blake Hotel, Upperthorpe
The Blake Hotel stands at the top of Sheffield's steepest street, on the borders of Upperthorpe and Walkley, but is worth the climb. It even featured in hit comedy The Full Monty. James Smith called its beer garden 'a real sun trap'. Photo: Google
