This bar is ok. It's good for outside seating so good when the weather is good. It has some good cocktails on the menu and it has beer pong you can pay for. It did have a bit of a smell in the bar and it isn't very big the bar either. It also has some embalmed animals dangling from the ceiling which I'm not sure if they're fake or real, but I do not like them at sll
Absolutely great dive bar in Sheffield, discovered this and it's perpetual Happy Hour a few weeks ago and now making a regular place to host nights for a group I run. Great music and cocktails and staff are fun 😄 Thanks for hosting us guys!
Even though this was mid afternoon, and there were loads outside, I managed to grab a couple of photos while no-one was inside. This Dive Bar has a genuine great Dive bar feel, great decor, great music, superb cocktails and some stunning whiskey from the USA 🇺🇸 Really enjoyed a couple of cheap IPA with a couple of FEW from the USA 🇺🇸
After a long day shopping in town with my family, we decided to stop by your bar to relax and enjoy some refreshments. We ordered a round of drinks (2 house lagers and 2 cocktails) which came to around £22. I finished my lager quickly as I was quite thirsty. We were generally impressed at first — the place has a good atmosphere, looks great, and most of your staff were friendly and welcoming. While enjoying our time, my wife checked your bar online and saw that you offer a Blue Light Card discount. Since I’m a cardholder, I decided to order a Guinness (£4.50), expecting a discount. So far, everything seemed fine. Later, we ordered another round: 2 cocktails and 2 Guinness. I showed my Blue Light Card again but didn’t check the payment amount at the time. After sitting down and reviewing the receipt, I noticed I had been charged over £29 — more than the first round. When I asked the bar staff about this, one of them explained that although he applied the discount to the till, he "forgot to apply it to the payment terminal." As someone who has worked behind a bar before, this explanation raised red flags for me. The process seemed suspicious, and it left me wondering whether this was a genuine mistake or something more concerning. It gave the impression that someone might be pocketing the difference. To be clear: the venue and most of the team were great. But I want to call out that a tall young guy with glasses was the staff member involved in this issue, and I left feeling like I had been overcharged intentionally. I hope you take this feedback seriously and review your procedures — particularly around discount application and staff accountability — to avoid leaving future customers feeling the same way.
Really liked this place. Saw it on tiktok and encouraged my colleagues to try it while on a leaving do. Has old tut'n'shive vibes. Staff were friendly and fun. Music was good. There is plenty of space. Stayed for several hours. Got very drunk on the many cocktails. Will definitely be back.
