It’s set to be a warm bank holiday weekend in Sheffield - perfect for a few hours in the nearest beer garden.
From tucked away spots like the Riverside and the Gardener’s Rest in the city centre, to private back-of-the-pub seating like the Malin Bridge Inn, to all the way out to the countryside for breathtaking view like The Old Horns in High Bradfield, it’s a good time to retreat to the nearest picnic table and enjoy a rest.
Whether you're looking to soak up some sunshine, let the children burn off energy or find a quirky riverside pub in the city centre, there's something for everyone.
We've put together a list of some of the best pubs with beer gardens in Sheffield, based on recommendations by The Star’s readers.
It's not all about the views or the location, with the quality of the food, beer and atmosphere also in the mix for readers when choosing their favourite beer gardens.
How many of these beer gardens have you visited, and do you think there are any not on our list which we should have included?

The Strines Inn, on Mortimer Road in the pretty Sheffield village of Bradfield, is Grade II-listed and according to Historic England dates back to the 17th century.

7. 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
8. 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
