If there is one thing Sheffield is not short of, it’s good pubs.

Cocktail bars, nightclubs and live music venues are great – but sometimes we just want a good pint in a traditional pub.

Here we have compiled a list of 9 of the city’s best boozers that have been serving generations of customers down the years.

We have compiled them using a mixture of those that have been best rated by punters posting Google reviews, and also boozers highlighted in the latest CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2023.
