SYN Restaurant and Bar in Sheffield

1st visit to Bubba Bar. 4 of us had booked a table for 8pm. We were keen to make the most of the evening so asked for a bit more time to enjoy our drinks before ordering food. We shared a variety of tapas dishes & they were all superb. Fresh, tasty & good value for money. Had to ask a couple of times for tap water but not a negative as the staff were excellent. Shout out to Jordan Just 1 even better if.....we'd have loved to sit at the bar for our 1st drinks of the evening but only 2 bar chairs so we went straight to our table. 4/5 for atmosphere as it wasn't particularly busy for a Friday night. It absolutely should be though as we loved the menu & food & will definitely be back to try next month's food. I will be recommending Bubba Bar to everyone I know as this is a superb addition to the Sheffield food scene. Thank you x

Amazing food and cocktails! Lovely inside and nice atmosphere. Staff are welcoming and professional, we will back again :)

When we visited this Bar & Restaurant in August, it had recently re-opened under new management (was previously SYN Restaurant briefly), and it’s aim is to bring decent, down to earth food which everyone enjoys, with a bit of flair and fanciness added. The venue is gorgeous and I feel it’d be a great restaurant to visit for date night, or an occasion with friends. It’s based just around the corner from the infamous Fat Cat pub. We enjoyed 5 plates to share between 2 of us, which was enough for us *please bear in mind the menu does change seasonally so some dishes may no longer be available; Cauliflower Cheese Fritters (£7.50) Fish, Chips & Mushy Peas (£8.50) Stones Steak & Ale Pie with mash, gravy & Hendo’s (£9.00) Yorkshire Pud Bao Buns (£9.00) Aberdeen Angus Sliders (£10.00) Washed down with pints & 241 cocktails We thoroughly enjoyed every bite and fought over the last mouthfuls as it was that good. There was a little bit of a wait before our food came out, but it absolutely made up for it, and everything was served in one go. They also have a “mini” desserts menu, Sunday Lunches and set menus for larger groups. OFFERS: **Tapas Served Daily, Wednesday – Sunday ** ➡️➡️Enjoy 3 for £15 all day, ever day on selected dishes **Wednesday – Friday between 5 – 6pm get free patatas bravas with every pint purchased. **Breakfast Served Every Weekend 10am – 12pm ➡️Advanced bookings can even get 2 for £15 **Children’s Menu Available daily Kids Eat Free in School Holidays **Bottomless Brunch Every Friday & Saturday – £35 pp Unlimited Drinks for 90 minutes **Cocktail Happy Hour Sunday – Friday 5pm – 7pm 💸Approx. spend £20-£30pp for tapas and drinks ⏰️Opening Hours; Wednesday – Friday 4pm – 11pm, Saturday 9.30am – 11pm, Sunday 9.30am – 8pm

Amazing British tapas served by friendly attentive staff in a fabulous contemporary envronment! Amazing value for money too! We will be back!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Where do I start…. Amazing 🤩… beautiful decor, fab staff and the food tasted amazing. British tapas wow… the pork scratching sticks with apple sauce were 10/10 😋…. Will definitely be back for more. Thank you

We just had the roast platter. Honestly, it was fab. Usually carrots are the naff part but they were so soft and just the right sweetness. Generous cauli cheese portion and the creamed leek was absolutely gorg. Meats were cooked to perfection. We are very happy and stuffed. Thank you!

The staff were fabulous very polite and professional couldn’t fault their service. The bar was really cold which made it uncomfortable, temperature had dropped outside in fairness . The tapas menu was fine but there was too many fried options and pastry options for us . A few lighter healthier options such as ham or cheese and bread . Or sharing plates . Because the tapas don’t reflect true tapas as in Europe they tend to be mini versions of a main meal . We often go out as a small group and don’t want a big meal or fried food . Would love to have somewhere we can have nice wine and a Nice sharing platter of jamon and cheese, nice bread . Simple can be best but sadly it’s hard to get simple in Sheffield . Wine was very nice . Ask for coffee hot unless you prefer it cool.

We celebrated my husband's birthday at Bubba Bar, and while the food was great, the wait time was excessively long, nearly an hour, despite the limited number of occupied tables. Exceptional service from Jordan and Connie, who went above and beyond, even assisting my daughter with her Instagram photos! Overall, we had a pleasant time and would return👍

Absolutely love it great vibe super place to be food lovely

Called in just as it opened on a Saturday lunchtime. Very welcoming, very friendly, beautiful place to relax. The menu choices are sublime, definitely spoiled for choice. The food is presented beautifully, and like most Tapas, presented in a way to share. Out of the dishes we ordered, the pie was slightly ahead of the others, because it came with its own bottle of Hendo's Great choice of alcoholic and none alcoholic beverages to suit all tastes. Could not fault at all.

i previously have been to this restaurant when it used to be called Syn it was a very sophisticated restaurant I went here for bottomless brunch is was a little bit confusing at first booking it because the flyers have different timings on them and I was told different things by different people while trying to book for it The food was really disappointing, I wasn’t sure what I was getting for food, it only stated I was getting a platter with my bottomless brunch but never stated anywhere what I would get. When the food came it was cold and dry and just didn’t seem worth the money plates and tables were also mucky and sticky There wasn’t much selection for drinks normally when I go to a bottomless brunch there is a good variety but here there was not it, all drinks selections are very similar The staff were so lovely! and the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing a great vibe. But i definitely liked the food so much more when it used to be called Syn it seemed to of brought a different vibe to Sheffield

Staff lovely and friendly, couldn't do enough. Food looked lovely but unfortunately the deep fried stuff tasted like it had been done in old fat. We went on a Wednesday hence it wasn't busy so the atmosphere was a little too quiet. Hopefully its busier at the weekend.

What a truly amazing find, the most incredible tapas, small plates packed full of flavour with such a variety, the atmosphere was stunning and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Our new favourite place for Tapas in kelham island. Already can’t wait to come back with friends.

Didn't eat here , only called in for a quick beer to check it out but gotta say we were impressed, very classy , up market setting, great service, t good range of beers and spirits at the bar and a good atmosphere. Will definitely be going again

If this restaurant is so good , why does the ' owner ' think its a good idea to leave his Own review praising the place ? We have been past this spot numerous times , and it's always empty , you have to wish them all the best , but it's in the Beer capitol of the world , it has No cask beers for sale !!

Food was beautiful & service was good please give my compliments to the Chef we will be back

Well, what can I say everything was perfect? We'll be going back again highly recommend.

Tried the New British Tapas last night WOW what a wonderful selection of mini British favourites Thank you

Beautiful food, nice staff and quality service. I enjoyed it.

Very odd place. The food is good if not exceptional. The layout is very odd, with the bar and the restaurant running into each other. When we went, there was a pianist and singer, who was not bad, but made it impossible to talk. There is little point in going out for dinner with the friends if you have to sit in silence. We found the service very hit and miss.

A confusing place of highs and lows. We visited on a Saturday night to a fairly quiet venue. No staff greeted us and we had to go looking for someone who seemed confused about what table was booked. The chap who served us was from the parent establishment and seemed a bit lost/confused. He constantly apologised which after a while was a little annoying more than anything. The food itself was actually really nice although essentially it's just a fancy pub menu but well cooked. We ordered desserts which never materialised so we paid up and left. Overall it's a confusing place where the decor doesn't match the menu and the staffing is a major problem. It feels like a pub has bought a place in Kelham Island but doesn't really care if it sinks or swims otherwise they would have someone with managerial experience on hand.

I believe this to be one of the best restaurants I’ve found in the area to be honest. In interior is absolutely phenomenal. Food and drinks are absolutely perfection. The food I had was absolutely fantastic maximum compliments the chefs this place deserves Michelin star I’ve said it’s better than some of the Michelin star restaurants. I’ve had the lucky fortune of visiting over the years.

Booked for Father's Day brunch for my Dad, myself, and my girlfriend. When we arrived the restaurant was empty except for one other table. My Dad ordered the Fully Monty English breakfast. My girlfriend and I went for the waffles and chicken. Service was slow, both in getting the drinks and in getting our food. As we were waiting I saw someone come from a stock room carrying bags of, what looked like, St Pierre bakery items; the sort you buy off supermarket shelves. My initial optimism about the restaurant was shaken. The other table had their food brought out, but a few moments later all the plates were sent back. I don't know what the issue was. When my Dad's breakfast came out, the "Full Monty" consisted of a single rasher of bacon, one sausage, a hash brown that appeared to be from a bag of frozen ones, a ramekin of baked beans, and a single piece of toast that appeared to be from a loaf of sliced white bread. There was no butter. Oh, and a few mushrooms and a sorry looking fried egg. Five minutes later the two waffle dishes came out. And then a minute later, some butter for my Dad's toast. The waffles and chicken was just awful. I don't believe the waffles were made from scratch because a) they didn't taste like it, and b) I saw a member of staff walking from the stock room to the kitchen with an arm full of pre-made bakery items. The chicken was a couple of pieces of what felt and tasted like frozen breaded chicken. Freshly fried chicken has a different taste and texture. Freshly made waffles have a different taste and texture, and I would imagine are actually cheaper to make than buying pre-made from the supermarket. Between the three plates of food, each had at least half, maybe even as much as two-thirds, left as we all agreed it was just poor. The staff member working in the dining room asked us what was wrong, and I explained it didn't taste fresh. He said the food was made fresh. I asked what the other guy was taking from the stock room to the kitchen, but didn't get a clear reply. The only reason I'm giving the service 2* is because they took the food off the bill without us asking for it. I hope this was just a bad day for them, but I don't think I'll be in a rush to return.

We had bottomless brunch here and throughly enjoyed our time- the food was incredible and the staff were amazingly attentive and accommodating. We’d definitely come back again!

Went last Saturday and after waiting for nearly 2 hours for our food to arrive we asked for our drinks bill and left hungry after being told the food would arrive in the next 5 minutes. Only 6 tables were being served and only 1 of which received any food within the 2 hours we were there. Be interesting to know what the other diners did in the end!!!

A new restaurant lacking an identity. Starters were excellent however mains and desserts disappointing. Quite the variety on the menu from pie to steak to Indian. Maybe a refined menu would improve the quality. Very bright lighting, lacked atmosphere with the most random playlist of music. 80’s pop music to new dance and anything in between.

Great ambience and lovely customer service

Wonderful food that was super delicious, staff were attentive but gave space and it was lovely space in to have dinner. Would recommend

Birthday celebrations reason for the visit and staff very attentative. Food better than expected and prices very, very reasonable. Would definitely visit again! Would be good to offer a complimentary drink when it's your birthday..just a suggestion.

Absolutely amazing food. Brilliant service and all round brilliant place. Would highly recommend

Oh what a find. Absolutely beautiful place. Decor to perfection. Piano player for Mother’s Day and gorgeous food and service. Well done guys. Can. Not wait to return.

Great visit to Syn today! I called in to see if they were available for me to do some work in there during lunch time and the owner John was super inviting and attentive! Would highly recommend as a space to work/coffee and lunch! Looking forward to going back again!! The interior and atmosphere is also incredible

Amazing meal & great service!!! 4 of us ate there last night and we were all blown away with the food and will definitely be back!!!

All the staff here are so welcoming, professional and attentive all matched with incredible food. Great addition to Sheffield and will look forward to seeing this place do well. Will definitely visit again!

Great night at Syn, innovative, delicious food. Great friendly service and welcoming atmosphere, will definitely be back.

Had some of the most amazing food I have ever had, defiantly a 5 star experience. Staff were exceptional nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely go again

A really exciting new restaurant in Sheffield - well worth a visit. The Venison was amazing. All desserts were fabulous.

My partner and I went to SYN last night for my birthday and the whole experience was incredible. The restaurant itself was stunning and the staff were so attentive, checking in on us and asking how everything was. The cocktails were really reasonably priced, and the spicy margarita was the nicest cocktail I've ever had!!! The food was INSANE from start to finish. I don't usually eat fish but had the sea bream ceviche and the halibut and they were delicious! Can't recommend the restaurant highly enough and can't wait to come back - we would definitely bring friends and family here. Thank you for such a lovely evening!

Hands down some of the BEST food I’ve ever had! The intensity of the flavours & textures was immense! I want it all over again! The staff were incredibly attentive, kind yet professional. All in all, a brilliant experience! Cannot recommend enough!!

Beautiful food, lovely attentive staff, overall a genuinely wonderful evening.

Really lovely evening. Great food and staff who make you feel so welcome! Special mention to Ann-Marie and Dominic. You’re both excellent!

Wow! What a fabulous place this is. Fantastic service and food. Will definitely come again.

I had embarrassingly messed up a booking on Friday night for somewhere else (entered the wrong date) and at 8.15pm we showed up on the hope there may be able to squeeze four of us in. They were and the evening blossomed into a beautiful time. You get what you pay for, the food was delicious with all the flavours and textures you would associate at any high class restaurant and the waiting staff were so attentive and patient with me when I asked if I could substitute a couple of things due to intolerances. They had hired a saxophone player for the evening to play for the diners, this was both beautiful and noisy but only lasted half the time we were there. The decor is beautiful and we ended up with a large table to dine at. A great example of serendipity.

Overall great experience, a few niggles however. Firstly we had to pay for the bread, which was nice but it was literally 2 tiny slices of focaccia, I'd expect this to be complimentary at such an establishment. Second, the vegetarian option was a bit expensive for what it was (but it was very nice!) and lastly we had to wait around 20 minutes for dessert to arrive which is pretty poor to be honest (cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding).

Some of the best cocktails in Sheffield, amazing to see the quality and care that goes into each one!

Beautiful place. Very friendly helpful staff.

Amazing experience was the best food I have ever had with great company would highly recommend this amazing restaurant!!!

Fabulous night at Syn. The food was beautiful, I had the Tandoori Monkfish and my partner had the fillet of beef and Oxtail cheek, both meals were cooked to perfection. It was my partners birthday and the staff from the Manager downwards were fantastic with her. This was all set off nicely by the live saxophonist creating a warm friendly atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back.

We were cold and hungry after spending £90. If you are vegetarian, stay well away, the main is a quarter of a small hispy cabbage (£20 and not kidding) that has been brined, not pickled, in far too much salt and becomes inedible. There is a sauce but no sides are available… Seriously, we left cold and very hungry!…

Great place to enjoy food, drinks and the atmosphere

Cocktails were fabulous, can’t wait to go back and try the food, it looked amazing.

Went for a long awaited date night with my partner, couldn’t fault one thing. Food exceptional, as good as Michelin stars I’ve been to. The intensity of the flavours combined with textures and everything was cooked well! Vegan and gluten free options on each course, with no loss of quality. Will definitely be back, had the best evening xx

great food and service. the portion size was a little small so after a 3 course meal we were still hungry. could do with some orders on menu

Amazing venue and great food + service! Loads of gluten free options

Outstanding food and service! Went last night for their open evening, can say the food was exceptional, the best I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be returning and recommending to everyone!
