Dam House Bar and Restaurant in Sheffield

Visited here for a quick pint. Service was very good and prices were reasonable for a city pub.

Good location but £4.50 for a pint of Shandy! Never again

Beautiful . You would not believe it's in the middle of Sheffield. Perfect summers day idle doing nothing spot.

Lovely large pub with a nice view of the pond!

Mainly the location is great, nice to get a 🍻 and sit outside by the water 💦

We hired the dam house for a girls football awards presentation and the staff couldn’t have done enough to make it an enjoyable event for both the girls and parents. The food was lovely and they let us decorate the room and it really was the perfect venue for our event. Definitely recommend!

Decent pint of Guinness and a great view.

Dam house is one of the best pub in sheffield with fabulous food and excellent location….♥️ definitely visit again

No stars. Don't know about food but beware if you park here even if paid using the Phone and Pay app or Just Park app that the terms are not clearly stated on the notice nor in the app. You may get a fine by the Civil Enforcement company. Dodgy unclear parking signage that doesn't show you can't park there beyond a certain time, I'm still not sure what time that is but they still take your parking money for it and then give you a PCN. You think you are paying for 4 hrs but don't get the full 4hrs. AVOID parking there. The pub should get a different parking provider as now I see that many other customers are also facing same problem

This pub has the potential to be spectacular but needs some love - couldn’t beat the £2.50 pint

Friendly staff and good service

Filled with shouting children, both inside and out (on a Saturday evening at 2000), poor range of beers, had an overpriced guinness. View is nice over the lake at least.

Very friendly staff and nice location. The food is really good, so it's worth visiting this restaurant. The view of the lake is really nice.

In a beautiful park, by an old resevior part of an old 8 dam system .

Nice place on a summers day watching the water and people swimming Nice pint and free parking

Fresh halal meat is always available. The shop is in the city centre.

Decent pub, £5 pizzas on a Friday are good, lovely view of the pond

Expected more, I've not been for a firm 10+ years, & I don't think it's been refurbished since. Needs new toilets & a good bit of money spending on it. Only attributes are the friendly staff & the location/park, £9.50 for a pint of Madri & Carling Dark Fruits is reasonably priced I'd say. Takes card too. Pizzas looked good and were cheap!

Avoid. Scam parking. Charged 100 pounds to park here. Awful place. Not worth 1 pound let alone 100.

Thought they would be a little giving on the PRICES!!! REALLY Testing people's pockets!!! that's why it wasn't busy !!

The worst cappuccino I've ever tasted

Amazing place to eat with the family! The view of the dam is amazing, and the pub does Sunday carveries, has an outdoor and beautifully decorated!

Nice setting, shame no real ales on

Nice pub but when offering only pizza it would be nice to have a vegan option available

I’ve only ever come here for drinks but the staff are friendly, quick service, lovely scenery and good vibes.

My favourite part of this place is this view. So relieving. The guy that attended to me was so kind.

Avoid! You get parking notice for parking there!

Dispite the sad occasion could not fault the place staff were lovely nothing to much for them the place inside is nice

If you need to go to this place then I would suggest getting a cab as the carpark isn't free and it isn't displayed so you will get a parking charge notice for £100

booked a (private room) for my dsughters 30th and paid for there house DJ was informed st the time off booking we couldn’t take our own buffet/food in.. on arrival we were asked if we wanted to provide our own food as they had chef problems(bit lste now) showed to our (private room)apparently it was a private end off the pub that wasn’t cordoned off or signed as private so during the night we had joe public dancing in our(private area) the dj we paid for never played any of our requests . on complaining the week after to the manager/live in lodger Lewis were we told because we didn’t complain on the night (we didn’t as didn’t want a scene or to spoil my daughters big day he wasnt gonna help us then he became mr elusive couldn get him on the phone or in person he gave me an email and phone number of the owner no response from him either… all in all never ever will i put my money over there bar again terrible customer relations beware……,

Wide variety of beer and spirits, very friendly staff. Not serving food at the moment

The staff are rude and ignorant. They prefer chatting and watching something rather than dealing with your orders. You should feel luck if one of the staff listening you. Don’t recommended !!

Hubby went to a birthday party and received a parking fine whilst in the pub, bartender knew he was driving but didn’t mention anything about giving him the car reg. they have since constantly ignored requests for the manager to call back and to contact the company they employ to cancel the fine. Happy to take £40 behind bar that night though

Nice place on the edge of the park lots of seating space

Great atmosphere had to wait a little too long to get saved. Service wasn't too bad. Could be belly with a few..

absolutely fantastic place view is amazing they have a good selection of beers and spirits also, haven't tried the food but there's always time

Good place to have a drink and a bite 5o eat

After looking on their website it stated that they were doing Sunday Carvery, that brought back Memories of 20 years ago. Placed a reservation on line and duly arrived at 12:35. On arrival the place was empty , and the student behind the bar said we are not doing Sunday roast, and then produce a menu which was very basic fare. What a disappointment, the local is really nice, set around a very large park and over looks a large pond. Albeit to say we didn't dine their.

Good location and friendly staff but the draught bitter, red wine and g+t were awful.

Nice newly renovated pub, not a fan of shabby chic but seems to be hit with the students. Bar staff more than friendly and accommodating.

I visited Crookes Park for the first time and saw this pub overlooking the lake; I thought it’d be a great spot for a drink, especially with the great weather. However, after going inside, the staff were more interested in watching the TV; the interior was pretty understated and, overall, very underwhelming. Investment is required to make this pub in keeping with what you’d expect from a nice area reflective of Weston Park. I wouldn’t visit again, unless it was renovated.

The service was great, nice pizza

Basic pub food, friendly service. Lovely location overlooking the lake but don't be tempted to swim!

No kids menu. No umbrellas outside for shade. Not what it used to be.

Very good in the sunshine, spacious and good service. Bat staff could be more friendly (but appreciate if there busy)

I love this place and has to have the best beer garden in Sheffield

I love it when it's sunny there 😎

I called at this pub today it was horrible its dirty and run down and considering it's in a lovely place what a shame, I was told you have to sit at the table scan the code etc due to covid I totally understand that and that's fine however (we sat there ages waiting for our drinks while other people were getting them well before us even though we had orded first ) in the hour we was there not one person wiped the tables people were eating of tables other people had sat at withought been wiped that's not very good . It's also very expensive . We will never go again my advise would be check it out before going it's awful.

Sunday dinner? More like a prison dinner absolutely rancid.

Terrible! I was in there on the 9th May. It was a lovely day in terms of weather, lots of people drinking sensibly. And guess what!!!!! They decide to close at 19:20PM (last orders was before 7pm). Is it any wonder that pubs will eventually fall/close post pandemic. Places like this don’t deserve to stay open.

Good location. I like looking out over the water. Nice.

Quality pub. Good takeaway pint option.

Quick service. Nice outdoor location with a view over the lake.

Very nice place and friendly staff ,,, a good place for all

Nice food, served quicker than expected. Very efficient ordering online from the outside eating area to minimise contact. Nice view (helped by the fact that the weather was decent). Feels like you're further out of town than you actually are thanks to the shelter of the trees around the park. Definitely worth a visit.

One of the best pubs I have been to in such a dam long time! Great booze, great food and atmosphere! Bloody delight for our first time in Sheffield!

Fantastic service ! Great food, sports on the tv , best beer garden in Sheffield . Highly recommend !!

Great staff, great food. Do all the sport and have a sick beer garden. Coming to Sheffield? Come to the Dam house.

This is my favourite pub in sheffield. I will list the reasons: 1. Wonderful beer garden with scenery of the Dam 2. Cheap booze, but not as cheap as around 8 years ago. 3. The new chef makes some pretty tasty nosh. I had the pie, which i would reccomend. Came with a pint which i supped away.

Great service... Only note is that there could be some music for the indoors area.

Great for fishing and has a pub as well

Tidy well run and served meals the views of the park and the lake are good but this is in Sheffield at shef park

Drink selection understandably a little reduced by lockdown, but staff very competent with good safety measures

Really really nice girls behind the bar who said they liked my jeans!

Beautiful spot facing a swimmable lake/large body of water and the bar is brilliant also.

Only started coming here because of the lockdown. So far my experience has been pleasent enough. Outdoor seating looks out at the lake which people seem to swim in, at their own risk. Can stay for as long as I like.

I arrived with a friend to have drinks. Apparently they close at 9pm. I was having pints with my mate (not worried about the time) and went to the bar for two more and they sold them to us. Then after 5-10 mins the owner comes to say we need to finish our drink and leave. I kindly said to her that if she was about to close she could have just not sold the pints to us (as I was feeling really bad that me and my friend were stopping those people from going home) what happened next is the shocking part. The husband tried to deal with the situation in a very un politely way, so much that his wife had to said to him a few times to calm down! I used to go there a lot due to me going there with my dog. However, me or any of my friends are not touching this place even with a stick! AVOID!

Nice place for an outdoor pint.

Great place got married there on the twenty first of August nineteen seventy one 3 course hot meal £1 per head had a disco Brilliant

Quiet during a week night without footy on the tellybox.

Lovely venue. Drinks very reasonably priced and quick service

Awesome friendly staff let's go.

No atmosphere and looking a bit tired and shabby, the food was mediocre for the price, Won't be going again wouldn't reccommend

Great location, nice beer garden outside

Very good service and good quality food

A bit dingy and run down. Used to go 10-12 years ago and from what I can tell nothing has changed. Staff friendly and welcoming but the place as a whole has seen much better days.

We was sold out of date bottles of beer. When we took them back to ask for some new bottles, the bar manager said they are legally allowed to sell us out of date beer??? Did not swap them and was very rude!

Been here 3 times now for family birthdays and have not been disappointed. Lovely food, gorgeous surroundings and friendly staff. Will definitely be back.

Nice place and will positioned in the park.

I have just booked our Christmas dinner here for four of us and am thoroughly looking forward to it I have eaten here before and the food is fabulous

A small group of us went to the Dam House as a treat for lunch from work. I've been in the past and been happy with the food. However on this occasion I was very disappointed. I ordered steak pie. If it's on any menu I always order it. However this was not steak pie. There was no pastry!! There was a very thin something on top which was more like a piece of shaped pitta bread. The steak was chewy and inedible. It was like cheap, thin, frying steak that had been cut into strips and covered in gravy. Even the mushy peas tasted strange so I only ate the chips. When my almost full plate was collected i questioned the food and suggested a refund. The response I got was an awkward laugh and my plate taken away!! I work in one of the near by hospitals and a good experience would have ensured a return visit. This ensured a no return. We were the only ones in at the time but now I can understand why,

Quick service. Wide variety of goods. Amazing view.

Nice pub/bar. Warm environment.

Excellent food proper Yorkshire portions. Great value

Group "deals" are very over priced for the small quantity of meat and frozen vegetables.

What an excellent pub and restaurant this is, especially in the summer time. Sitting outside by the lake and drinking good beer and eating good food, couldn't really ask for any more! Plenty of space for the kids to play if they want to. Bar staff were great too.

Run down, dirty carpets, shabby seating, needs complete makeover. Looks great from outside, what a disappointment.

Friendly, good service great views and excellent bar with a diverse spirit selection

Good beer selection, unknown prices, nice beer garden great view

Nice food, reasonably cheap drinks, good view from inside over the lake and nice outdoor seating area. Good, standard pub. Has onsite parking, not many spaces but has never been full when I have been.

Mediocre food, terrible service, ran out of beer

First visit, but won’t be returning. Obviously get away with being otherwise terrible due to nice location.

Pizza was disgusting so disappointed

Very friendly staff and in a lovely setting.

Good pub, good staff, good atmosphere. I gave it a 3 star due to not enough staff.

Very nice location, quite expensive.

We went here last Saturday for a party - what a great venue. The curries and everything with them were gorgeous. Very welcoming staff and a fabulous location

Worst food ever, my year 10 food tech group can cook better. Sloppy vegetable lasagne with peas and cauliflower in the mix and falafel wrap- both meals clearly just microwaved as the bread was soggy and the lettuce limp. The chef's were stupid outside as we arrived and were slobbing about whilst we were there, the girls behind the bar were lovely but the interior was dated and dirty and the sauce bottles were all empty. The place should be buzzing with the boating lake and size of the building but we will never come back. The only saving grace was the chips! Bad form guys!!

I put a review on a couple of weeks ago when we had a lovely meal but after going back I was very disappointed I orded 5 burgers and a child's meal we waited 40mins when the meal came the burgers are lovely but no onion in the salad no sauces it was very dry. The plate the childs meal came on was bigger than the tray on the high chair and the plate was red hot the chicken strips were dry and hard ( chicken nuggets would be a lot better) . Very disappointed .

Today my husband and i and our 2 children went for lunch the atmosphere was relaxed the member of staff who dealt with us was excellent there was a misunderstanding with our lunch but he couldn't be more helpful. The food was excellent the best ive had and it only cost £33 for 4 meals and 4 drinks. We will definitely be going back. The only thing I would suggest is a sign saying that food is available as we wasn't sure until we got really close.
