Kelham Island Tavern in Sheffield

Perfect traditional pub, Wide selection of beers and good bar food. Large outside area and plenty of seating.

Brilliant pub with an excellent selection of real ales. Something for everyone from a bitter to a hazy IPA. Beer garden at the back is like an oasis as well.

One of my favourites always enjoy visiting good Atmospbere nice staff lovely pork pies well run

Great selection of real ales. Where else can you get up to 3 dark beers? Food limited to pork pies and Samosas.

Was great beer. Dissapointed the barman didn't serve tea, as was on website tea n coffee. Nice pub, lovely feel to the place. Took me back to when I was 21 and Kelham Island was a dirty area, we used to do a pub run .. beer was good then.. I'm 70 now, moved out of Sheffield still love it.. 🙏

Lovely pint, thoroughly enjoyed it!

Excellent service, brilliant beer, good atmosphere, pleasant people, good place for an afternoon break.

Harry Butler had been spreading nasty rumors about this place but when I tried it, it was excellent. Coldest beer in Sheffield! Harry definitely lied. That bloke has no idea what he’s talking about!

Great selection of beers. Warm (on a chilly day.)

Great beer range, excellent quality and a buzzing atmosphere.

Great beer as always, pub is up there with the best

A little off the beaten track but it is worth the effort to get there. A great selection of beers and good service from this old tavern. It is a shame that the brewery is no longer there but that does not the quality of the ales. If you like your beer this is a must when in Sheffield.

Proper beer and good choice and good prices

Fantastic spot for good atmosphere and real ales. They often have 10+ cask ales on, from a mixture of local and national breweries. A good range of bar snacks including pork pies and sausages rolls - Only downside is it is so popular it can be hard to find a seat!

A great range of beers in a traditional pub.

Bartender blew his nose, wiped his face with his hand, then picked his ears, and his teeth, but never washed his hands all behind the bar! Grossed out beyond belief and still served customers… 🤷 Sunday night, never again (tach guy with black hair who ever he is). Always liked this place but this was absolutely disgusting…

One of the best real ale pubs in Sheffield you must visit here to sample great beers and a great traditional pub

A traditional pub, one of the original Kelham Island bars that predates the area's modern growth. Well-kept beers and good atmosphere.

One of the top Real Ale pubs in Sheffield

Good night out not badly priced drink

Still one of the best real ale pubs in the country.

Good place to start when visiting the Kelham scene. Nice and traditional.

Very rude bar staff. We were a group of 9 having drinks and were told by the bar man we were irritating for sitting in a corner booth playing christmas songs on our phone ! About as much atmosphere as a morgue bearing in mind this is 9 December. We are from sheffield and are Kelham regulars which is a very special area and mostly a great night out. There is a way to speak to people without being rude. Surprisngly not many people in other those, like us, sheltering from the storm. Avoid.

This is a fabulous, old fashioned pub. Great beer, great atmosphere.

For a previous winner of pub of the year it was a disappointing visit beer was ok but not the usual standard.

Excellent traditional pub with an excellent choice of beers. Plenty of sitting areas.

Just a great pub. Excellent and well kept range of both cask and keg - something for everyone.

Can't beat it. Good selection and a lovely outdoor area.

One of the best real ale pubs in the UK, let alone Sheffield. Great atmosphere and vast selection of beverages.

Loved the staff all of em nice cheers lads xx

Great pub. Always has a good range of beer including a dedicated gf line (thanks). Can be busy at weekends.

Very nice helpful staff, great selection of beers..

Super selection of ale dark and light.

Friendly pub with good selection of local beers, including 2 brewed by the pub.

We were really looking forward to sampling this real ale gem on our visit to Sheffield but it was a dreadful experience. The bar man who was also the owner/landlord spent most of the time we were in there pissed up, propping the bar up and serving himself pints whilst giving people dirty looks who clearly were not locals. We then witnessed one old bloke get rudely told by this small fella that he couldn’t change his pint that was off. The place had the charisma of a drowned rat. Talking of rats, we thought we’d sample the beer garden but it stuck and 2 rats ran straight over our table. The atmosphere was terrible and the beer was not that good. Better places in Kelham that we visited.

Traditional pub in what’s now a trendy area good selection of beer and thus rightly popular

Lovely traditional pub. Excellent selection of ales and refreshments

Good beer, very friendly and a good atmosphere. Didn't eat.

Lovely, quirky local boozer with several spaces with different atmospheres. It also has a great outdoor garden space. We didn't eat here but did have some stunningly delicious Henderson's relish crisps (the relish is made in Sheffield and is similar to Worcester sauce). We actually went twice as we liked it so much.

Great little pub. They only sell pork pies and sausage rolls for a limited time each day. Highly recommend getting there for a pork pie. One of the best!

Great recommendations from the barman. Plenty of choice. And the pork pie is amazing! Really rides the spice of sauce and mustard. Lg pie big enough for sharing. G

Great beer and pub. Nice garden area

Twice national champion real ale pub of the year. Great beer and excellent place. Highly Recommended Drank Orval and Rochefort 10. Happy Days

Didn't eat here so can't comment on the food but the service was great, a good selection of drinks to choose from ,the staff were professional and friendly..... would recommend a visit if your in the area

Great pub. Friendly, authentic and great beer.

A lovely local pub with reasonable prices. I don’t usually drink beer but they had a great cherry beer which was amazing. The staff and the regulars are really friendly and welcoming - definitely worth a visit if you’re drinking in the area.

Great pub good service and a really good selection of beers

Fantastic real ale pub. Never disappoints. Spacious inside. Something for everyone, beer wise.

Brilliant Pub like going back in time great selection of beers and friendly staff highly recommended.

Lovely real ale House, this is a place where you can grab a pint, find a seat, and have a conversation with almost anyone

Proper pub!! Fantastic range of real ales and craft beer in a traditional pub. No music, so talking is easy. Staff are great and knowledgeable

One of the best pubs in Sheffield. Very good choice of beers to drink in comfortable surroundings.

One of the best real ale pubs in the country.

Traditional pub with excellent selection of beers

Nice, traditional pub with a good choice of beers and whiskies and sells one of the tastiest pork pies I've ever tried.

Great selection of ale, particularly liked the Barnsley Bitter and the stout. If we hadn’t had a big lunch we’d have taken advantage of the pork pies, sausage rolls or bhajis!

Continues to be an excellent pub with great beers. No nonsense old school pub energy is strong.

A great pub with friendly staff and a great choice of beer - what more can you want!

Great place, friendly atmosphere, lovely beer garden

Lovely pub in the heart of kelham island

A fantastic range of real ales! There were darks too as well as IPA style

Brilliant good drink 🍺 very nice

Staff very friendly and know about the beers in offer. Reasonable prices and a nice atmosphere.

Excellent Sheffield pub near the Kelham Island Museum. Twelve cask beers on handpump when I last visited including a porter, a stout and a mild. Plenty of outdoor seating some of it covered.

A great selection of well kept beer.

Very good cask ale pub in Sheffield. Solid range of handpumps, simple but practical decor, and always a friendly face to the customer. Good atmosphere, too - a place for getting to know other punters. The only thing I found disturbing was the prominent advertising for Warsteiner beer. As a German, I can confirm this is one of the worst examples of industrial piss among German beers - kind of a German equivalent to Carling. Not to be missed on a pub crawl in the Kelham Island area.

Lovely pub with lovely beer! If I was local I would make this my local.

Another gem in this interesting part of town. There were at least 9 cask ales on offer and a few kegged as well. Lovely place to while away a few hours.

Really, really nice authentic bar in Kelham, Sheffield. Great selection of beers and friendly staff. Bar snacks available

Brilliant pub, nice and chilled out. Excellent beer and v.friendly bar staff. Pork pies are class. Best pub in kelham. No change. Still best pub in kelham.

Tremendous pub, great range of well-kept beer.

If you are a visiting football supporter at Hillsborough, this welcoming pub is a great stop-off on the way back to Sheffield railway station. Excellent beers on tap and a friendly clientele.

Lovely Pub, very cosy. Can be pricey but it is expected in Kelham Island.

Cracking place with a superb selection of beers. Another of the 'must do' places in Sheffield. Pub grub available. Friendly staff and the home of the Blue Bee Brewery.

Lovely little boozer, this. Crackin' selection of ales and ciders, nice cosy atmosphere and helpful bar staff 👍🏻

‘Proper’ pub! The excellent choice of ales at great prices .

Still a wonderful pub with a splendid range of beers including Blue Bee

Very friendly traditional pub selling a great selection of ales. Highly recommended

Good range of beer and nice atmosphere in this traditional pub. Well situated for a pub crawl around the other Kelham Island pubs.

One of Sheffield's best pubs, great across the board. Fantastic selection of drinks, plenty of space with a nice beer garden, and well-informed friendly staff. Don't sleep on the samosas, they're delicious and really hit the spot after a pint or three.

Always make sure we visit here when we visit Sheffield, great beer in a great pub, keep it up.👍🍻👍🥴

One of the last proper boozers!

Not been in for a long time , still a good pint .

Good beer and service free parking opposite

Really friendly staff. Spotlessly clean pub with extensive cask,keg and bottle menu. A time capsule in the best meaning of the term. Really nice outdoor space too.

Traditional pub with good ales and friendly staff. Lovely outside space, although a little small.

The staff are lovely and well informed about the beers. The pub is quickly being surrounded by the developments in Kelham but is holding it's own. Love the place AND they don't charge for soda water like many others around there!

A cracking little boozer with a great selection of real ales.

Beautiful little beer garden. Great selection of beers and very helpful & friendly staff.

Visited this great little pub on a Saturday afternoon during a visit to Kelham Island. The pub had a good range of drinks and was extremely spacious, with plenty of seating available. Very welcoming atmosphere and found myself chatting away with a couple as if we'd known each other for years. Will definitely be back in the future

Don't order anything other than ale, or say the word lager, you'll probably be ridiculed as we were. Attempted to order shots (unfussy as to which spirit), were told they didn't do shots despite having a selection of spirits behind the bar. No reason to go here when Fat Cat is round the corner with friendlier service.

Nice place to go. Not a lot of pubs around like this anymore

A good selection of well kept real ales at reasonable prices and a friendly atmosphere.

Proper pub. Excellent selection of drinks. No music, basic grub. Spot on

Was down on Kelham Island on the Thursday with some friends, great little pub, good atmosphere.

Very decent pub with a fine selection of real ale.

Best cask ale I've had in years.

A well regarded real ale destination with a good range of quality ales and snacks such as bhaji and pork pies, friendly landlady and staff, recommended.
