Old Grindstone in Sheffield

Nice friendly pub. Spacious and plenty of character. Only stopped for single drink so can't give more detail this time.

Vegetarian/vegan options are good. Lots of good beer on tap. Great location in Crookes.

Karaoke here was ace 5 starts for the guy who sorted us with the piercings sorry I don't know your name!

Excellent bar staff and also checked on our food as we were eating.

Great place for a drink and to watch the football

Ignorant staff. Went for a chilled pint with a mate. We were chatting at the bar and when I asked for another round the young barmaid accused me of being drunk and refused to serve me. She was pretty hostile and rude and I can only imagine she had another motive as I was neither drunk nor leary. We would've left happy after one more as it nearing last orders anyway. This has left a had feeling about one of my local pubs and I won't be going back in a hurry!

Not keen on the food here but the karaoke booths are great, as is the beer.

Near student village so young clientele

Nice pub with tasty, reasonably priced food and good beer and other drinks choice.

Lovely quiet atmosphere for an afternoon pint and a plate of chips. Very friendly staff, thank you.

With a group of friends, we had gone to the Grindstone for a nostalgic visit, having not been there for over 40 years (but it did come recommended by a friend who lives locally). The pub is modernised, and this means loud music (a touch too loud for us old gits, as conversation was challenged) while you find yourself surrounded by a variety of TV screens all showing different programmes. But the beer is good and the BBQ food OK (the pulled pork I had was acceptable but a bit old in taste) I do not think I would return for the above reasons.

This is a great pub. We will continue to frequent! Super nice staff. Good variety of foods, and great drinks.

Good priced pints, they sell aspalls!! And accept the loyalty card for 20% off

great quiz night! some banging bottled beers (delirium, saison dupont), great pledge card deals, great events! Looking to go the stock exchange event trader thursdays!

Normally love the Grindstone but it’s really let itself down tonight. Turned off the stock market early and only 1 crash. A real disrespect to its patrons and those looking to get involved. Will not be back.

Called in on Thursday evening just for a drink. Beer was excellent. The bar service was friendly and efficient.

Friendly staff and we sang our hearts out in.the private karaoke rooms upstairs. Welcoming, easy and also spacious overall, which felt great. Will be back.

Really enjoyed our visit here as we were visiting our daughter who is at Sheffield University. Lovely food and excellent service. Thank you.

Some of the saddest BBQ I have ever had. Got the big variety platter, and none of it was edible. Might want to consider going back to standard pub grub.

We had a great time here at the karaoke for our friends birthday. We were a group of 15 and shown to our own private room upstairs for our 2 hour karaoke slot. We truly had the best time, the room was just the right size for us, wonderfully decorated with fancy lights and an amazing karaoke system which was super easy to use and a wide array of songs meant be didn't stop singing. So much so we even extended our slot and added an extra hour! Drinks prices very reasonable and speedy service too. We had such a lovely time we will definitely be back in the future, thankyou!

Only a flying visit, but a very nice and friendly pub. Great atmosphere.

Good selection of beer and food

Great night hired karaoke room, great fun

Staff are always great, food is great and always good vegan options. Karaoke rooms are great!

Food is okay but staff is not very professional. I went there for a society dinner and all the dishes were pre-ordered. I am vegetarian by religion so before eating I asked the staff if she could inform me which is non-vegetarian and which is vegetarian. She told me and then left off so I ate the dish and tasted something unusual so I asked my friend and she told me it tastes like sausage which made me suspicious. So, when the staff came back I asked her again to confirm which are the vegetarian dishes and only then she realized and told me "oh this one is non-veg my bad" in a very casual tone and left of again. I was very upset but I didn't say much. Just so you know in another country a restaurant could be sued for such behavior. Hope this doesn't happen to anyone again. The staff needs to take notes.

Friendly Staff, nice atmosphere, good place to meet up. A cracking pint of Guinness.

Different tasty food,great value,and wow ,great atmosphere and service,loved it

Hired one of the karaoke rooms for my daughter’s 13th birthday with som of her friends. They had a brilliant time. Staff were excellent and really accommodating. Would highly recommend to anyone for something a bit different. And a bargain price!

The foods terrible now literally inedible the pork tacos were so over cooked it was like eating rubbers, don’t know how you get chunks from pulled pork. The beef is supposed to be 21 hours cooked low and slow but I can hold it on a fork without it pulling apart, I’d have an easier time chewing through a table leg, not to mention everything was cold , A year ago it used to be good but it’s fallen off now.

Great pub, full of character. I'll definitely be returning.

Jason was absolutely amazing performing, loved the night, food was fantastic 😍

My dog thinks the chairs are too tall and feels isolated on the floor below, the bar staff are fantastical, and the food is scrumptious

축구 경기를 응원하면서 맥주한잔하는 분위기가 좋은 Pub

Not my type of food but good at what it does. Great student bar but also a decent place for locals.

Came in Sunday 24th September for a meal at night . Had the brisket of beef . I'm sorry it was the worst meal I've eaten in a pub . The meat was tuff and some of us could not even eat the meal . Not your typical Sunday veg either . Expensive for the money on a plus side pub nice, good service good .

Lovely little pub, good atmosphere. Definitely will visit again when I'm next in Sheffield. The food was good, I had the smoked chicken and I'm not a fan of smoked food normally (personal preference), but it did grow on me. I also had brownie and ice cream for pud and it was awesome. Definitely recommend. Definitely return again.

My favourite pub in Sheffield! Large selection of drinks including fairly priced cocktails, good food menu with a variety of options available. It also has a pool table, several TVs and even some board games, and is dog friendly. It's definitely worth the trip up to Crookes!

Beer was good quality and place clean and large. Staff were friendly and the place had a nice vibe, even if we did go in a little late and many had left.

The staff are always really helpful, especially when it comes to food intolérances!

A great local Crookes pub, some super offers on student nights too! Start your bar crawl here and head up to Crookes via the bars and pubs and you’ll have great night! Good selection of lagers and beers - an all round good pub - oh and it has a pool table too - oh and it has karaoke too 🎤 🎶

Really nice pub. Good beer, good staff, good location. We walked down from the top of crookes on a crawl and ended up here. Then dropped to Broomhill to finish off. Lovely walk. Staff here were lovely and the place is nice and clean.

A great pub at the end of Crookes before you walk down to Broomhill. The atmosphere is friendly, with some great beers on tap and lovely food on the menu to boot. For those wanting a game of pool there is a table towards the back of the pub, with many screens for people wanting to watch the sport.

Loved so close but first time coming in. Very big inside with great beers on tap and lovely menu.

Nice pub but pints can be very pricey compared to all the others in the area

Great selection of beer, big space. Lot of screens for the footy. I wish there was another pool table though.

Super polite and great service, go grab a pint

Had a really nice chicken burger. Beer is a little expensive.

Nice food. We both had a sandwich: chopped cheese, a kind off Philly cheesesteak affair and a pulled brisket. Both on decent bread. The hand pulled Grindstone pale was in absolutely Tip-top condition.

A great local pub serving well kept hand pulled ales.

Great atmosphere and offer. The perfect local!!

Nice place, could do with a table football, or pool table.

Wonderful food great atmosphere and very friendly bars staff and waiters

Great vibe...beer and food ... They have a pool table...and board games...go in...hunker down and enjoy the music, art and general atmosphere... My type of place...great job to the guys running it...well done Next time I go im putting a longer shift in and expect to be kicked out lol....Best pub I have visited for a while...

lovely drinks, lovely food friendly staff. shame they don't do bottomless brunch it would defo be a hit here

Nice pub. Good beers and clean and tidy.

Very poor standards of food for the money but service good drinks prices fair

Great place, brilliant staff, bit cold, needs a bigger fire

Large open planned bar with pool table and TV'S. Excellent real ale. I had Bradfield's seasonal Belgian Blue. Friendly staff. Paulicarus came back for Christmas.

Great pub which seems to tick most boxes. I think they need a little work on anything else but burgers, but hey...

Cosy and student friendly pub but prices are reletively high.

Had a brilliant evening in a karaoke room. So much fun! The staff were so friendly and helpful, cheap drinks and a really good atmosphere. Great for a party. Thank you to you all for such a good evening, we will be back!

True North establishment with all you expect from the team. Surprisingly cheaper than their other offering at the Punchbowl, also in Crookes. Definatley worth a visit for sport on numerous tv screens, pool table and always excellent music.

Good beers and lovely beef chilli nachos

The OG has a good selection of cask ale and a good team with a reasonable food menu. Well worth a visit

Played in a band there last week. Such a good, friendly vibe about this place. A very diverse crowd and lots of nooks and crannies for relaxing in. Great selection of beers too.

A friendly, comfortable pub with tasty food at good prices. The two burger meals for one deal was great value and we all enjoyed our food.

The Grindstone is located on Crookes main street. It is a large venue with indoor and outdoor seating and a pool table. There is a good choice of quality beers, including Prahava and Madri. They are well staffed for the time of day. The interior decor is gothic themed with clare walls and gothic art work on display. There is a choice of padded bench seats for comfort or harder seats for dining. Unfortunately, one member of staff was shouting homophobic ridicule across the bar to another member of staff, saying about the music they were playing "have you been searching gay anthems?" because a George Michael record was playing and then swiftly changed the music to play The Beatles instead. I am appalled that someone who is at work would have the audacity to make homophobic comment to a colleague and in front of customers too. Shame on them. It seems this bar is not a welcoming environment for homosexuals.

Not much atmosphere but it was Sunday afternoon so will visit again when its busier

Food limited , no salad in sight ,.hardly any vegetables. Staff nice though and lovely decor. Nice lively local pub.

Changed over the years; sure for the younger generation a top pub; Years ago it had character, regular customers, always popular, different pub now. Over priced .

Nice craft beer and excellent vegan junk food!

Gorgeous pub and great staff too

Meh. Food was overpriced for what it was,staff were ok but felt a bit robotic. Feels like a generic chain pub and not like other True North pubs we have visited. Overall just a bit meh. *Edited* So after I went to the bar for the second time I feel I have to edit the part about the staff. No charisma,not unfriendly but just looked like they didn't want to be there. Just fell really flat in customer service,didn't really seem to know what they were doing,quite slow. I think training is required.

Lovely little pub with a good beer selection and good pub grub

Excellent, good food, nice atmosphere!

It was a very nice pub to be local pub

Nice place to spend a Sunday evening in the company of friends.

Great pub, and a very good place to eat too. Decent selection of beers and spirits. The smokehouse food offering is excellent. Simple and honest, but overall tasty. You could really taste the smoke on the ribs. Good portions, good value. Good range of TVs and pool tables, but also some quiet nooks with comfy Chesterfield seats.

Used to live in Sheffield, recently visited and glad we popped in to The Old Grindstone. Staff are lovely and the sign on the wall about the new screen gave us a chuckle. It's clean with big screen for sports (and some smaller ones) and there's still a pool table, which our 7 year old played on. We had some nachos and our son had a kids meal. Good pub!

Really good food and big screens for football. Only complaint was the chicken wing roulette - couldnt tell which was meant to be the spicy one.

Gave it a 4 due to menu not changing since last time I went, staff very good, Good service

Limited menu and very expensive

Good range of beer, some of the cans a bit pricey maybe one or two more lagers would be nice. Staff attentive and friendly good atmosphere

Since True North took over this pub has improved massively. Good bbq food and a variety of drinks available. Lots of televisions so very much a sports pub if that's something you're looking for, so can get busy at certain times. But no doubt this place will have a great atmosphere, as long as you're winning! Will return again soon.

Excellent pint of pale ale, friendly staff...nice laid back atmosphere. Dog friendly ( always a good draw.) Would recommend for a quality drink , food looked good although on this occasion did not sample...but looks nice. GS

The old grindstone is one of the greatest establishments in the city of Sheffield.

Always a great atmosphere, good range of drinks, excellent staff and great food.

We had not been in for years and it was so much better than we remember. Good selection of beers and the pub had a nice feel. Let down by large amounts of black mould on the toilet windows.

Really lovely pub cosy vibes lovely staff, spacious place. Loved our burgers really good comfort food. However kids menu and 6quid a go... 1. Very expensive when you can get a kids meal down the road at walkley cottage for 3quid. 2. What's on the kids menu nugs and fries, burger and fries or fish fingers and fries. OK fine no peas or beans will cope with that. Then when you receive the kids meal (had a 1.5yr old) fish fingers were terrible quality (like the value fish fingers rather than birds eye) and chips aboslutely covered in salt (children shouldn't eat much salt especially toddlers) the fries were the same as what we had on our plate so so salty of course fine for an adult as a treat but not for a child. Just some good advice maybe look into the kids menu offering.

Amazing pub with cheap cocktails, great food and amazing staff !

Very friendly and cosy atmosphere

The food is excellent. I had the classic burger and it was exceptional. Good beer choice. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would love to go more often but it's 100 miles away

good food, good vibes, good music on in the background

Lovely cosy pub good service friendly staff

Great selection of beers and cocktails.The food is decent and the Sunday evening pub quiz is always a laugh!

Good food. Pleasant and welcoming staff. Vegan and veggie options are good too. Food have been consistent so should be a good experience. Tend to get noisy later in evening but that is expected on some nights. Beers ,IPA are great to test out different names. Good place to watch sports on large screen too. Road side parking free and on regular bus route into town via Broomhill. Good spot.

New management have really turned this place around, staff are really friendly, cocktails are incredible and the food is amazing, couldn’t recommend it more

Good beer marques, poorly kept and served. Disappointing.

Decent prices and has a 20% student discount if you get a card

Music very loud difficult to chat.
