The Common Room in Sheffield

Amazing place to play pool! Such friendly staff, thank you Orla!

Over priced and intimidating atmosphere.

Quite possibly the worst food I have ever eaten! After eating I saw a review on trip advisor referring to the food as “rancid deep fried dog faeces” and I think that is generous. Absolutely shocking! Chicken tenders: shocking Chicken wings: shocking Corn:shocking (how can you mess up corn) Chicken burger: inedible Beef burger:shocking Vegan burger: shocking The chefs at this establishment are a disgrace to those that pride themselves in their work. We cannot even give them the benefit of the doubt being busy, we were the only ones there. Avoid for the food!!!!! Sports & beers fine.

Awful vegan offering for delivery via uber eats - food was cold on delivery, missing sauce off the burger, missing sauce off the doner wrap. Very expensive in general for what it was, lazy inflated food. Even if it had the sauce I would avoid, quality was abysmal. EDIT: Amended from 1 to 3 stars - Got a refund and a friendly response from the manager. Great response to follow up and glad it is being looked into.

Went in with some friends, one bar member in particular was very rude and gave off a horrible vibe, male, longish Curley hair, seemed to be some sort of manager as wearing smart/casual clothes compaired to the other members of staff. Ordered food, no cutlery was given to us. No check back to see if everything was okay, luckily enough the food was good. However things seem to have gone downhill massively here. Always knew it as a busy place to go but now it’s quiet. Bar staff clearly need basic training!

Went in to watch the F1. And it was great. Good service and a good choice of drinks.

A bit expensive place, and overcrowded. But nice

A brilliant place to watch sports. I go there to watch the F1, enjoy a nice pint of cider. Their food is also really good.

Food wasnt to bad but ive had better. portion size quite small for the price you pay.

Great sports bar, plenty of screens to watch multiple games on... Staff were really friendly... Food portions were a little small, but not bad bar food

I went on a Monday evening to watch football and staff were very helpful.

Great venue, a good choice of drinks with a good atmosphere, friendly staff and felt safe so we could relax. Not to loud so you can talk however there is background music to enjoy. We don't visit the city centre often however we will come here again on our next night out

Portion sizes are really small for the price, food is way too expensive but drinks and vibes are good

Comfortable atmosphere relaxing really nice

Another great pub good atmosphere really busy then again all are in division Street and West street

Been coming here years, but i've quit alcohol for a month and £3.80 for a pint of coke or lemonade is extortion! May as well have just paid 50p more and got a lager.

Value for money and great service

Decent enough place for a drink

Overpriced bar food. I ordered a chicken box, the chicken was very dry and overcooked . The chips were underneath were soggy. And the hot sauce had been poured all over everything, making it a real mess. Would not recommend, and will not be going back.

What a great venue. Staff very friendly. Drinks are great and the vegan food is absolutely fantastic. It’s a definite must try if you’re a vegan in Sheffield. They have also started doing their vegan food for takeaway as ve-kind if you’re looking for some delicious vegan take out ! Was a great atmosphere as well even for a Wednesday evening will definitely be returning !

So many screens everywhere! To many of you ask me it’s overwhelming. They also had a menu with drinks on with different prices to what the drinks actually were. We told the staff and they didn’t care. They didn’t honour the prices they had written down they just told me that it was like that because the prices had gone up and they hadn’t got round to changing the menus yet. This is completely unfair and made me look a bit stupid in front of my friends when I pulled them up about it. I believe it’s illegal to do advertise different prices this but they didn’t care one bit. Won’t be returning. Ever!!

Not impressed with the food for the price, busy for quiz night with students if you like that sort of thing.

Waited on hand and foot, absolute service.

Even thought it's very expensive there we went specifically to play pool one afternoon. They refused to let us play without leaving a physical bank card. I told them I didn't carry a bank card because it's not 2014 and offered to leave me car keys instead or pay in advance but nope - no pool for us simply because we couldn't leave a bank card with them. I'm not sure that's even a good idea as it would be very easy to steal the card details. I'm not going back

We have booked many a table in the past to watch 6 Nations rugby and always had a great day. However the food on this visit was not the same standard as in the past. Still going to book tables for rugby but will not be dining again unfortunately.

Good student orientated bar and grill. Excellent selection of beers and cocktails. The food menu is extensive with excellent vegetarian options. There's a fairly large pool room and cantina area. Loads of TVs for watching sporting events. Staff are friendly.

Played pool, had a drink, we will be returning there very soon.

Have tried to visit recently and been told by door staff that the venue is closed early despite multiple sites and information mentioning a closing time of an hour and a half later. Completely understand places closing early after Christmas but this should be advertised especially considering we had arranged transport to the city centre with the sole intention of visiting. BEWARE of coming here any later than 9:30 on a week night as the staff won’t let you in. Would definitely recommend visiting other places to avoid disappointment.

Lively bar with a good range of beers and american pool tables

Booked for a Christmas party. Food was way better than last year, a big improvement. Good selection of drinks options including a few cocktails. Not cheap but not terrible pricing wise. Pool, PlayStation 4, table tennis and large connect 4 was set up for us to use. Could have done with somewhere to store bags and coats.

Called in for pre match drinks , the first time for 3 of our party. Nice , comfortable place, served quickly,and able to get a seat. I think it may become our "go to place",for the rest of the season.

One of the best sport bars I've been too. Spotless. Perfect pool tables. Every cue I picked up was perfect. Loads of telly's. Really chilled out place. Well worth a visit.

Great place to chill out play pool and watch sports

Eaten/drank here loads. Plenty of sports on & pool tables. Always dependable/good service!

Always a great atmosphere in here and a good assortment of beers..

Went here after watching the football at Bramall Lane and wanting a sports bar to eat have some drinks and watch the next match. Booked a table in advance and glad we did as it was really busy on arrival. This is a great place for live sport and atmosphere. Just a shame the food let's it down. The menu consists of unhealthy food, and tbh what is on offer isn't great. The beef and pork dishes in Yorkshire pudding were sold out. So between us we had the loaded fries in Yorkshire pudding, and the chicken and chorizo wrap. Neither were great and the fries with the wrap were that hard they shattered if you tried to stab them with a fork. Would come here again just for drinks and live sport, but would definitely never eat there again.

The bartender was extremely rude and unwelcoming. He made the atmosphere so awful so me and my friends decided to leave. I feel like was robbed of 30 pounds!!!!!

The atmosphere is very uncomfortable. It feels like the staff didn’t want me to be there!

Decent place, nice and spacious.

Excellent as a sports bar food on offer basic and unhealthy real ale brewed on premises excellent

Decent venue for watching sports. Pretty much have a screen for every live sport event so should find what you want. Also decent selection of bar games.

We spent rather pleasant moments there. Great music selection, wonderful ambience.

Lovely atmosphere and the pool tables were good.

Visited on a weeknight, plenty of seating, friendly atmosphere and bar staff, enjoyed loaded nachos, which was a generous portion, it came hot and was very tasty and a burger with soft drinks, ordered via the QR code on the table, food came quickly. There are screens everywhere that had sports showing, so if you're easily distracted this one's not for you! The venue is accessible by a flight of stairs but the is a wheelchair lift.

Enjoyable evening spent playing pool, staff friendly and nice drinks

Played pool yesterday for a few hours, nice venu, lad on the bar was helpful and served us quickly despite being the only one on the bar, very friendly, would return

My Friend hired out a private pool table for his birthday (which he has done for several birthdays now) usually the staff are very pleasant but the guy who was on the back bar today was extremely mardy. Made to feel bad for ordering a drink almost like we were a burden. We asked him to take a photo of us all whilst it was quite on the bar, would have only taken 2 minutes of his time but we were made to feel guilty about it and in the end we decided to ask the bouncer. He then came over to us mid photo because he literally couldn't wait 1 second to tell us that the time was up. We would of extended our stay as we knew the table was free because he asked if we would like to extend but due to the service we left.

Very bad service from one member of staff in particular on the upstairs bar. I was a part of a party of 12 for a friends birthday, we all had multiple drinks and food but by even asking for a drink we were treated to eye rolls and abrupt replies. We were not made to feel welcome at all. We intended on extending the booking but have now decided to go to a different bar where we were treated much better. We won’t be booking again even though we have repeatedly. Disappointing.

I'm not a great fan of this type of pub, possibly because it is directed at the younger end of the market and I no longer belong to that generation. The choice of drinks was okay but a little on the expensive side, the staff acceptable and the place reasonably clean.

Nice atmosphere and good for live sports. Good pint of guinness and nice cocktails. Avoid the "bar snacks" - stale marmite and cheese twists (you do get 6 full sized so quantity over quality if you like value) and the sticky maple chipolatas were clearly oven cooked then microwaved, hard yet chewy - very impressive to achieve. They were doused in golden syrup. Weirdest things I've eaten in a while

What a great place! Pool tables, table tennis, even beer pong!! We went for the football but all agreed we could do with somewhere similar back home. Keep it open!

Ordered dirty fries, nice & simple. Took around 25-30 minutes to arrive, portion size was good but rest of table had finished eating by the time mine was received, only ate half the order as we found a hair half way though. Not the best on a quiet Sunday.

Had a nice few drinks in there 2 weeks ago nice place got to go in more often

What a brilliant place , first time here, brilliant service, left my phone accidentally, called so we could collect straight away , boys enjoyed pool , highly recommend, will come back soon xxx

Great place with friendly staff. My mum left her phone and it was kept safe and sound until it was picked up. Will definitely come back again

Good place for food and drink, while watching Liverpool get beat

When there is a sporting event on there is no better place to watch with beer and food.

Absolutely love this place. Been here several times with friends when we travel up to Sheffield from Birmingham. Such a great venue...loads of pool tables and screens galore perfect for watching sports. would definitely recommend.

Food review only, Probably only worth 4 stars but giving 5 to pull their score up. I think the food is great overall, good portion size and creative/indulgent ingredients (For fast food). I had the rosti stack, which is a fried chicken burger with cheese, pulled pork and a hash brown type roasted potato patty. It was honestly really good, I'd reccomend the kitchen run a promotion on it to get it popular as it really mixed things up. The chicken flavour punctured through the potato and cheese beautifully, almost as if they have added chicken stock to the batter or something, and the pork added that extra sweetness. The fries where very crisp, almost too crisp but I like it that way. Other portions looked great too, BBQ chicken wings, loads of vegan choices etc. Main complaint was the nachos, which are great on paper but they arrived quite cold and would be so much better with homemade guacamole/salsa. Still, had much worse elsewhere. Think the cook who came up with the rosti stack recipie needs a solid promotion. Beer/Guinness was good too as far as I could tell. Bar staff helpful and kind.

Always a nice place to meet for a drink before I go to watch the football

Food was good an service was good 👍

we paid for the worldcup experience which gave us a guaranteed table, food platter, and 3 drinks each really great service and atmosphere, good food and good drink selection😊 certainly worth it for the price and would watch sports here again😊

Steady food, steady atmosphere, it is what is. There was one guy on the upstairs bar (tallish, dark hair) who's attitude was awful. If you don't want to work behind a bar at Christmas, get a new job instead of spoiling everyone else's vibe.

Watched to match here with Harry Mcguires family there too 😀

Decent place to watch the footie

decent range of drinks and plenty of pool tables, music seems a bit too loud on weekends though

Highly disappointed couldn't get a table for the pool told to return later, and told don't close till 12pm. Came in before 11pm to be told last orders and could not have a table. Maybe give out the right information not conflicting.

Proper mint for I absolutely loved it here

Nice place with free WiFi 2 of their own beers on tap and 1 guest beer. They do food. Loads of sports TVs. Friendly service. I wouldn't mind seeing more of their own beers on tap

Came here for a couple games of pool and it was pretty decent, they had a good system for letting you know when it was your turn to play, was good prices and a really good atmosphere 🙏

Expensive but a good chill out place with mates

Best bar I've been in for a long time. Awesome selection of beers, and tvs everywhere showing sport, pool tables a plenty and beet pong. What more do ya need?

Still the best place to play pool with friends.

Cheeky few games of Pool what is not to like ..... O also Beer Pong nice 😊

Great atmosphere and good food. Quick service from the staff, definitely not for a quiet atmosphere. Good for drinks out as well, plenty of room for groups.

Great venue for watching sports, tvs are everywhere so you're guaranteed a good view.

Great amount of pool tables and seating area. Food was good also

Good selection of drinks, nice place to sit inside or out, haven't tried the food in a long time but looked good

Amazing time and friendly staff

Great drinks selection and sports showing on multiple screens

Great for sport and a burger. Good service, friendly and helpful staff 👍🏻

HORRENDOUS SERVICE, within an hour of sitting down for told to finish drinks and leave after buying 2 drinks!! Manger said nothing could be done and to get out ??? Weird place, strange staff system DO NOT GO !!!!

Great place cheap beer between 5pm and 8pm

Very poor service. Arrived at 10:45 pm for an advertised 12am closing time, in a busy environment and was told we couldn’t get a pool table. Dismissed rudely by staff who seemed offended at even receiving a request for a table and custom. Shame as it is a nice place to go for an evening out if they let you.

Great atmosphere and the food was spot on. Every member of staff was so nice and friendly. One of the best places I've visited in sheffield.

Good atmosphere and great vegan menu

Great to watch sports because of the amount of TVs but I wouldn’t eat there again. Food was awful and over priced. The alcohol is over priced also.

This is not for the place but for their cheese burger

Great sports bar with plenty of pool tables and TVs to keep you busy. Good selection of drinks and food so can spend quite a while there also.

Typical American style sports bar, mediocre in every way. No match sound on, even on big games, odd choice. Strange policy of no hats inside, apparently so the cameras can see every ones faces, slightly creepy, especially the way the security guard told me the rule, silence of the lambs buffalo bill type demeanour, weird. Friendly bar staff at least

Good bar for sport, drinking and pool. The food is pretty poor though but as a bar it's pretty good.

Pool and table tennis with the kids, good value for money.

Always play pool here when in Sheffield, one of my favourite places

Great atmosphere, great drinks selection, really lovely staff and fab games selection.

Empty Xmas eve was OK tho nice and clean and chicken wings was good.

We had our works xmas do here on 10th Dec 2021 (35 people) we all knew it was going to be a student bar and there was pool tables which was fun we paid £13.95 each for food and what we got on the buffet was atrocious there was no tongs for picking up food , how they thought the small amount of food was enough to feed us all I will never know was looking forward to trying the catfish but only a small bowl was produced, not enough to go around overall the food was pretty poor we all left hungry and had to get food elsewhere. When nearly everyone said how poor it was there has to be something seriously wrong ..Thank God the company was good otherwise the night would have been a disaster ,

With proper American pool tables at £10 an hour, there is nowhere else I'm Sheffield that comes close as a sports bar.

Turned up at 1.30pm. website and sign at main door said open 12-12
