Visited here yesterday (14th January 2026) and has been quite some time since I have had the opportunity to visit again. Fantastic ales in top condition.
The Kelham Island Tavern is a traditional pub. There is a wide selection of beers lager and cider including six hand pulled cask conditioned real ales the ones we tried were in excellent condition. The bar gets very busy the back room is a bit quieter. There is a nice secluded beer garden. The pub is regularly featured in the camra good beer guide. A visit is highly recommended.
Great real ale pub multi award winning with killer real ale beers of good value , in one of the most charismatic lifestyle areas in any city in the UK
What can I say that hasn't been said already, well, this is quite simply one of the best real ale pubs in the world. I hadn't visited for 13 years or so and it was just as good as I remembered. All keg beers are kept in optimal condition, the range is great as it is clientele, I think if I lived in Sheffield this would be my honorary living room 😀
A great pub, not much else to say. Decent selection of craft beers on keg, plus standards and a great cask range. They also do the second best pork pie in Sheffield.
