Shakespeare's in Sheffield

Nice pub with a very good selection of whisky and well kept real ale

A fantastic pub to finish (or start) a night out in Sheffield. Even though the city has an embarrassment of riches as far as pubs go, The Shakespeare is an absolute must to visit. Great beer, lovely staff and amicable clientele. Pubs don't get much better than this. Thanks chaps.

Brilliant range of beers and fantastic staff

A great place to sit down and have a think in the dark

A great place to drink half a pint

Fantastic selection of beers and a nice atmosphere, as long as you are happy with somewhere packed on a Saturday night. Staff were disinterested and blunt throughout, even when it was quiet at the start of the night. As it was heaving I cleared the glasses off our table before we left, but the lady on the bar gave me look of disgust and crinkled her face at me as I placed the glasses on the bar. Made me laugh but yeah, not great service. The black pudding pork pie and mustard was great though.

Another old, old pub. Great beer great atmosphere.

It's a great pub. The atmosphere 10/10, the drink selection 10/10 and the staff 10/10. A wonderful place to have a few pints or more.

Well worth a visit. Good beer too

Nice staff, good range of whisky, excellent comedy events!

Very pleasant place to have a drink, good ale and decent company, inside or in the garden. Cask ale

Really great vibes, friendly staff.

The young woman that served us was very helpful & knowledgeable such a lovely lady

Good real ale on good place to meet up with friends afternoon or evening

It's always a good pint of beer in here. You must call in if you are in Sheffield

A brilliant pub, excellent in all aspects.

Another one of the best craft pubs I've been to in Sheffield. Thank christ there's a bit of distance between them, to keep things interesting! X

Honestly, just always been a great place to go. Even relative to other pubs nearby. Can take it however I want. If I want to chill, there's space enough to do so. If I want to socialize - there always seems to be someone to talk to about the beers on tap. If I want a beer garden, there's one of the biggest in the area... Can't sing it's praises highly enough.

Nice pub with a good range of beers.

Friendly staff and great drink selection!

Excellent pub with a great range of beers, ciders and whisky 😀

If you're looking for a delightful evening at the Shakespeare Pub in Sheffield, let me regale you with a tale of what you might encounter: Adam, the bartender. From the moment we crossed the threshold, Adam's demeanor was a curious blend of disdain and annoyance, like a tragic Shakespearean character who took a wrong turn and ended up behind the bar. Ordering drinks felt like a scene from a comedy of errors. Adam's huffing and puffing could have blown down a house of cards. His attitude was so sour that lemons would blush in his presence. But the real climax came after we paid—Adam, with the subtlety of a Shakespearean villain, turned to his colleague and dubbed us a "horrible group of people." Ah, the eloquence! Adding to the charm, Adam seems to have a deep, emotional attachment to one particular shirt. Every time we've visited, it's the same shirt, as if he's starring in a one-man show where the costume budget was slashed. To the management: Adam's customer service skills could use a rewrite. If working behind a bar doesn't bring him joy, perhaps he should exit stage left and find a role more suited to his temperament. Until then, I suggest potential patrons avoid this pub unless they're keen on experiencing their own Shakespearean tragedy.

Lovely place , and beautiful outdoors would visit again

Great pub, fantastic range of beers and the event space upstairs has loads of interesting things on, mostly comedy and music.

Good vibes. Great ales. Lovely beer garden. Lots of character and history. Fun vibes when busy and cosy chill vibes when it's quiet. Never tried the food but always a good ale on tap.

Great beers and nice venue for gigs

Proper real ale pub could have done with dortmunder being 4 ,8% not any lower

A cracking pub lots of atmosphere fantastic choice of beers and spirits and friendly staff

A great little pub for a lot of reasons but the pies are absolutely worth a try.

Still the best pub in Sheffield.

Great beer selection and lots of pokey (but good pokey) rooms.

Brilliant place. Great atmosphere , especially because of the folk festival.

Good old fashioned pub friendly staff

The original and still the best pub in Kelham

Great pub. Like an old-fashioned boozer. Had my 60th birthday party here in 2011. A good night

Proper old school pub with a lot of history. Great selection of beers, cask or crafty and a massive old folk band playing!

I never tire of being in here. A genuine and welcoming pub, where I have seen marvellous live music upstairs. Today was no exception

Good pub and a great place to meet new friends

Great beers, great venue for an intimate gig. We went to see the brilliant Sterling Drake.

Cracking little boozer. I’ve tried every sandwich on the bar here. Ham and mustard Cheese and pickle Ham and cheese Also had a little pork pie on paddys day. Was a pretty great pork pie. Some lovely ales on tap and fridge is well stocked. Regret not grabbing one for the train, just didn’t want to leave. Bar keep let me charge my phone too what a gentleman.

One of the best pubs in Sheffield. Good range of cask and keg. Well kept cask and a very varied keg lineup. Good sized, multi room pub with some nice little nooks and crannies. Friendly atmosphere. Good outdoor areas too.

Fab quirky yet traditional pub with a great beer selection

The perfect pub, pints and pies 👌

Great place if you'd like to explore the world of good beers. Nice garden at the back, occasionally good live music.

Good traditional pub with real ales.

What an "Ale House" . Genuine pub, go!

Very shakespearean, is that how you spell it?

Best pub in sheffield around this area. Absolutely love this pub x

Has an excellent range of beer, particularly keg. They often have very rare beers I don’t see anywhere else in the city - right now they have a De Struise collaboration I’d never heard of. Do note it gets really busy at weekends. Standing room only.

Great pub, good beer and atmosphere. A must visit

Amazing selection of beers and a friendly staff. The pork pies are also probably the best in the area (although a bit more expensive than others). Good range of cask and keg ales, and they even keep a house line of Tegernsee helles lager on 🍺

Very nice pub but it’s very “this is a real ale pub for real ale connoisseurs”

This pub's a proper belter, with a great choice of beers that change all the time, and don't cost an arm and a leg.

Lovely atmospheric old school bar high quality beers and snacks.

One of my favourite pubs. Absolutely love the staff, they're little rays of sunshine after a busy day at work 🥰

Local , real ale pub. Next to Shalesmoor tram stop.

Very very busy pub on new years eve. Event room upstairs is cool, nice smoking area. Good staff

Highly recommend a visit, top class ales on offer, friendly, knowledgeable staff and a good atmosphere. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again

Only visited for a quick pint, fantastic pub huge range of beers and other drinks

Great old styled atmospheric pub with a fine well looked after beer selection.

Traditional pub. Good vibe inside.

Good beers on cask keg can and bottle.

Fab little pub with a great selection of beers and ciders. Brilliant gig room upstairs. 😻

Our first visit there last night. Everything you want from a good traditional pub. Very welcoming informative staff. Wide choice of ales, beers and whisky's. Full of character with lots of nice rooms/areas in the pub and a lovely beer garden. Live entertainment events upstairs. We didn't have food so will give stars for food on another visit. We'll definitely go again

Great old world atmosphere with good selection of real ales, craft beer, cider, also bottles and cans, plus of course a wide range of whiskies..

Always one of Sheffield's finest establishments. Can't beat it for relaxed vibe

Hadn’t been here for a couple of years but it’s thriving, a hit with the locals and the students. Beer as decent as ever.

Nipped in for a pint on my stag do plenty of choice and good service.

What a great pub this is love it in here

Its a beer place. I went for wine and it wasn't great. Low quality wine that gives you a massive headache the next day. And I could taste the bottle had been opened for quite some type, it was not freshly open. I went for a second glass and took my first one to the till (as in to help) but I was served my second dose of wine on the same glass. There is quite a lot of space and a good environment overall. Very typical British pub. The beer garden is big an nice.

Amazingly knowledgeable bar staff. Great beer selection- constantly changing. Fantastic find. Best pub in Sheffield

Great pub with a good selection of hand pull.

My first visit to this pub as a guest DJ for Room At The Top . I arrived to a brass band playing in the beer garden with a happy crowd listening in . The bar is stocked with a great selection of Ales . The service is prompt and friendly . It is a nice old style pub with a great welcoming atmosphere . The function room upstairs is a good space with a decent wooden dancefloor . I had been recommended here before and it lived up to it's great reputation .

Great pub, great beer and great staff.

Very friendly independent pub, full of oldeworldy character. Nice, chilled, welcoming vibe as first timers. Would go back.

Great pub. Awesome selection of beers.

Decent selection of beers well looked after nice pub exactly as a pub should be.

Excellent pub, great atmosphere and plenty of beers to choose from.

Tremendous pub with real character, a great beer selection and friendly staff. A pity we only had time for one, but we loved the beer garden and will definitely come back.

A "proper" pub with lots of little rooms and separate areas, plenty of cask beer from locally plus guests, and a big range of guest craft keg beers from pretty much anywhere! Huge range of whisky too.

Good selection of real ales. You will find beers you like but may find one you don't 😅

Very nice Atmosphere friendly staff good range of beverages lovely beer garden

Possibly the best pub in Sheffield. They always have a great selection of beers. Good music and a really eclectic, eccentric array of furniture and clientèle.

A gorgeous quirky pub in Sheff with the loveliest of staff. So much to look at and an incredible beer selection. Super recommend

Wonderful pub. Lovely interior and delicious beer. Could have stayed there all day.

Top pub for ale, vibe and bands.

Still one of the best boozers in Sheff. Friendly staff, great beer, proper pub decor. Never falters.

Great pub, lovely atmosphere and excellent beer selection

One of Sheffield's best real ale pubs with excellent choice of craft beers. I'd rank Boon oude geuze. A must visit when in Sheffield.

If you want to relive that scene from An American Werewolf then this is the place. Smells and looks like it hasn't been cleaned since the late 80s and god knows what variation of tapeworm you get with the beer. Mind you that's if you get past the cantankerous bar staff... The locals probably find the place great.

Great pub. Excellent venue for live music. Very tasty "mild" on tap / pump. Still trying to work out who this guy is?

Pub with great draught beer and a friendly atmosphere. Great bands in the upstairs room.

Didn't have food as we were going to the restaurant best door. But this is a lovely old fashioned pub.

We were on a memory trip as we used to visit Sheffield a lot. Started off in here as it was one of our favourite pubs but sad to see it has gone downhill a bit. It was always quirky and still is but no one else was in. Whilst the girl behind the bar was friendly we had looked forward to a pint of Deception and it really was not on form. We only had the one and doubt if we would return again. The other beers may have been better.

A classic olde english tavern !

Good pub and groundworks (first Thurs of every month) is a great event

Great pub with fantastic selection of beers. Tried a few craft beers and they were great. The beer garden is a fantastic asset to the pub too.

Good choice of real ale, friendly atmosphere.

Just a fantastic real ale pub. Always a good selection but we had Abbeydale Deception, which I think is permanently on. Just divine. Could be the best of the whole area. The real ale is absolutely immaculate.

Great historic pub with excellent real ale. Can get very crowded at the weekend.
