The Gardeners Rest in Sheffield

Great pub, great beers, beer garden overlooking the river, barbilliards table

One of the best pubs in Sheffield, with undoubtedly the best beer garden, overlooking the river Don. Always have nice beers on, a good selection of snacks, live music regularly, and the staff are very nice and friendly.

It was very quiet on our visit, the barman was very good and the beer quality was good, as always.

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

Warehouse/beerhall type vibes. Nice place with some nice beers and ciders.

Love this little pub, friendly staff, good selection of drinks and a fabulous beer garden that overlooks the river

Worth a bit of a walk up to Neepsend. We really enjoyed some traditional British beer sitting outside by the river. The barman was very helpful too.

Good traditional pub with a good selection of real ale.

Love being by the river, in the gardeners rest.

Cosy place. Decent outside seating. Best pint of Guinness in the Kelham Island/Neepsend area of Sheffield.

Nice local pub in Neepsend area with a good beer garden and conservatory overlooking the river to the rear. Friendly service. Decent selection of hand pulled ales at a reasonable price. Will definitely return again soon.

This is a lovely pub, but it's cashless, so it's no longer for me I won't give my custom to any business that refuses cash. #cashisking

Fantastic real ale pub. This is what a proper pub looks like. Great ales, lagers, and everything else. Friendly and helpful staff. Live music often, and lovely views of the river too.

Solid locally owned pub - the selection is decent. Predominantly cask with a couple of fairly standard keg lines.

Food expensive , wasn't very hot either.

Great pub, excellent service, good choice if ale and live music. Cracking boozer!

Kirsten was amazing server! Great birthday celebration!!

Didn't have food. Friendly staff and reasonable prices.

Accommodated a very large group with good service.

Food beers and great pub. Disappointed by the card only payment

Great pub, great beer. Beer garden backs on to the river Don. Highly recommend. Will be back next time I'm in Sheffield.

Sometimes I like drinking beer and eating crisps in a pub. This satisfied all criteria. Top notch.

What a great pub, inviting, plenty of rooms and space inside. Quick to get served. Drinks a reasonable price. Bar staff were very friendly and helpful.

I love the garden, with the river out back, plenty of space. Some games and sometimes some.casual music indoors and a bar billiard table. It lost a star for being cash-free, which is not helpful, and coz they close the bar billiards table too often. But other a really great pub with excellent selection of beers. Recommended.

Nice selection of real ale. Plenty of space.

Very friendly staff, and a welcoming environment.

Even though the atmosphere and the service is very good, the choices of food are very limited.

Lovely Yard overlooking the River.

Great atmosphere and friendly, welcoming staff. Like to come here when visiting family.

In amongst the hipster wannabe trendy bars of Neepsend, The Gardeners Rest is amongst the few remaining traditional pubs. Great beer and a nice little beer garden on the river. Normally do a nice pork pie too.

One of the great real-ale pubs of Sheffield, nay, Yorkshire.

Great pub with live music and real ale what more would you want!

Miserable bar staff. Didn't feel welcome. Won't bother again

A lovely little gem hidden away in Kelham, such a friendly atmosphere and they all dogs!

This pub is like a pub should be good service and friendly people and staff.

1st time in over 40 yrs since I last went in here,,what a fantastic pub this is,,great service from 2 young barmen,,polite,and friendly,,,makes a great change from some bar people,,,,,we will certainly be back soon,,,,100%,,,again,,well done the 2 lads,,,

Great pub with riverside beer garden, fine ales, curiosities and conversation.

Great beer. Quirky garden by the Don

Great pub, friendly atmosphere, and fantastic beer garden looking over the water. Exactly what you want for a Sheffield pub :)

Great beer, excellent staff and a fab ambience!

Usually enjoy this pub but this visit totally spoiled by very arrogant staff member who took offense that my friend couldn't accept the almost black coffee she was served. Said had run out of milk and stomped off in a huff because she couldnt drink it. Young man who served us with beers was very friendly and efficient (only been working there a week). Lovely conservatory and garden at the back.

Quality real ale. Good setting next to the river. Funky area. Difficult to leave after a couple, you just want to stay all day.

Had a few cheeky pints in the beer garden, whilst sat in the sun!!! Very friendly pub and nice staff

First rate community pub. Very popular. Great range of beers to try.

Loved coming here for the last 12 years+ the pub is lovely and unique with a good selection of drinks, the only issue is the customer service which is in need of serious repair, perhaps due to the popularity of the area and the bars either side but we were treated like cattle last time I was there with little regard for any level of customer service, with aggressive bar staff, regrettably I don’t think it will feature on future visits to Kelham, you can do better folks! This is a place for people to relax!

Good beer and a Bar Billiards table. Heaven ! One year on and Bar Billiards table shut for the weekend. Gutted ! Need more staff at busy periods too. We counted around 2 dozen who came in and turned around without buying a drink in a 10 minute period early evening. That's a lot of lost revenue....

Smaller than expected and a bit old man-y but does the job and it’s def more of a proper pub than some of the other beverage establishments nearby

Great local, bargain sandwiches, perfectly kept beers, it's all level access with a pretty standard, but spacious enough accessible toilet. Loved sitting in the conservatory in the rain.

Proper Pub. Wide selection of beers. Relaxed atmosphere. Lovely riverside beer garden.

Good beer and friendly staff, with a seat by the river, what more do you want?

Love this place. The oatmeal stout was amazing last time I visited I really enjoy turning up on a Friday, not long after its opened for a pint and a read of my magazine. Lovely on a nice warm day to sit in the beer garden overlooking the river. One of Sheffield's special places

5 stars every time just for the beer garden alone 😀

I'd like to thank Paul for a great experience during my visit to the Gardeners rest. Very welcoming.

Almost the perfect pub every time. Particular shout out for how well kept the real ale is

decent little traditional pub with a good range of beers and a beer garden if you want to sit outside. lost a star because last time I was here there was a mannequin dressed in world war one gear with poppies all over it which was both creepy & cringey

When in Kelham Island, always come here. The staff are really friendly. The ABK HELL lager tastes great

Arguably one of the best beer gardens in Sheffield. Super love the love folk music vibes too.

Went to see a friend's band playing ,The Crafters. Good atmosphere, good selection of beers.

Excellent community run pub. Roughly 5 or 6 casks on, one of the best beer gardens by the river. Friendly bar staff.

Nice pub and beers, however it is a card payment only place

Great little pub with brilliant beer garden by the river

A very welcoming place, with friendly staff. Will go again 🙂

One of my favourite pubs, mainly for it's it's range of real ales. Now it seems to be benefitting from its new neighbours, Heist. Unfortunately liable to flooding occasionally.

There are not enough words to explain how fantastic this little pub is. Right on the edge of this, relatively,new student occupied quarter, but close enough to all the other bars and restaurants that are helping to change the, once, heavily industrialised area. Lovely beer garden overlooking the river... Look out for the kingfishers darting past.

Great atmosphere and good range of beers

Good pub, excellent ales. Really should be 4.5 stars.

Cracking pub whilst doing the Sheffield Supertram pub crawl. Very quirky

Great pub. Nice atmosphere and great beers

Have not been there for ages and glad I went back great ales and brilliant atmosphere.

Lovely little pub beautiful little beer garden very nice people who run it and a very good price

Unfortunately, I did not go inside. I parked opposite the pub. Never been inside. But I am sure it's a cool pub.

Such an incredible place! You can play games while drinking your beer, and sit in the beautiful beer garden there, which is right next to the river! Definitely worth the sight!

Enjoyed the pub, enjoyed the beers only downside is that they don't accept cash payments

A good old fashioned pub with a colourful amd interesting outside area beer garden that overlooks the river. Its nice that some of these pubs have not disappeared. Nice friendly staff and decent selection of drinks!

Really good and very friendly staff.

Great beer garden by the river. Always a good selection of beers and a warm welcome

Good selection of IPA's, music when on is spot on, comfortable with river view

Not that good card only no use to a person wi a pocket full of cash wont be goin their again🤬🤬🤬

Lovely place at the side of the canal , perfect for a relax time on a nice weather

Nice little feel to it, quirky garden area with great views over the river

Great traditional pub with a friendly atmosphere.

I like this pub, no irritating loud music giving you the chance for a good chin wag with family and friends, nice choice of beers/ lager too, staff very nice and helpful if you can't find what you're looking for 👍👍

Great traditional pub with excellent fruit beer on tap.

Lovely pub. friendly staff. Good beer selection.

Lovely beer garden and friendly people

Lovely little pub. Great drinks and lovely staff

Lovley community pub , often over busy on a weekend but nice and quiet in the week.

Nice pub, a bit expensive but not excessively. The smoking area is cool but it's no cash at the bar which would stop me from returning as I often can only use cash,

Its a nice space and the staff tonight were capable and friendly, but it closes unusually early and they stop the musicians playing music even earlier than that at 10.20pm. for a pub thats not in a residential area that ridiculously early and the point at which nights actually warm up.

Really good selection of good beer in a friendly little pub

Nice, friendly pub in a happening part of town.

Gardeners Rest a lovely pub. Very clean; good friendly barstaff lots of real ale beers to choose from; also bottle beers. Sandwiches ; crisps and nuts available. The pub is quirky, can spend a while just looking at photos etc on the walls Outside is brilliant in the warm weather. A pub you could have one drink , but then again with so much to offer you will want to stay.

Good community pub, it's outstanding attribute is it's range of cask & continental beers. Nice quirky outside beer garden to the rear over looking the river. Up cycled / folky atmosphere. I would recommend for a visit. GS

Amazing staff and great selection of ales. Lovely venue with lots of space and a nice ham sandwich. Gerald and Russ have warm customer service and are ace.

Friendly affordable pub with bar billiards and a great out door space. Excellent craft ales. Lovely

Mainly it's a summer pub the views outside and the garden itself is what makes the place for me . Good selection the blue moon is a fantastic pint

Hadn't been here for several years as it is just a bit too far out of the way for regular visits. But it was busy, with a friendly atmosphere and a good choice of real ales.

Great people and top pint .made to feel really welcome .thanks

Decent real ale pub only drawback is you can't use cash

Good friendly staff and great range of drinks
