The Head of Steam Sheffield in Sheffield

Busy but good. Lots of private parties but got lots of staff on

I reserved some tables for a Christmas get together early December and Ebony and her team really looked after us. We only had drinks so I can't comment on the food, but there is always a good atmosphere in this lovely pub. A big space had been reserved for us and Ebony and her team were great at checking if we needed more drinks and keeping our space protected as it was a busy Saturday afternoon. All communication with Ebony had been clear prior to the day. Some of our party had never been here before and really liked it, thanks for getting our afternoon off to such a great start!

Had an amazing time at Head of Steam last night. The festive Gyros was absolutely amazing, highly recommended. The magician Greg Holroyd who was working the room was mind blowing! Great touch Head of Steam.

Surprising find, good beer and great atmosphere.

Lovely bar. Not cheap £6.80 for a pint of 4.5% of Crush hour is taking the Michael

We booked a team lunch via email with Ebony who was so helpful. We were able to pre-order and she was responsive and understanding when we had two team members unable to attend last minute and for the special requests on our order. We arrived to find our table ready and set up for us with our drinks and food soon to follow. Everything was delicious and every plate was clean! Cannot recommend this place enough from the staff and service, to the food quality and price. Huge thank you from all the Ansys Finance team, we'll be back very soon!

Not clear if there was anything gluten free on the food menu. It appeared not. There was a gf beer.

Great pub for well-kept ales for enthusiasts

Only called outside for a quick drink

Great place, lots of tvs, a huge choice of drinks and a great food menu, although we didn't eat. Service was quick, and prices were reasonable - we would definitely visit again and would recommend it too.

This is an absolutely fantastic place for family or friends. Served by a very polite Martin He was very informative 👍 will visit again😁

A great choice of beers, in a chilled atmosphere

Fabulous Saturday night, the place was very lively! Thankyou to the general manager for getting a lost phone back to us promptly as well as Greg for the wonderful magic show - really made our night. Would 100% recommend to others

Great place, food was quick and really yummy. Magician was a great bit of fun and very unexpected ..altogether great night

Came here to watch the Rugby and had some great beers and even had a fantastic magician entertain us at our table. If you ever get a chance to see Greg Holroyd, you won't be disappointed!

Not knowing Sheffield, we did a quick google and this place warrants the high scores. Very good service, fantastic beer choice (even great selection of non alcoholic inc draft) and food decent, pizza very good, served quickly despite busy Saturday afternoon

Headed here for a couple of drinks yesterday and had a great time. We all tried drinks we've not had before. Amazing selection. Really nice staff too. Barman let us try some of the freakshake sour as it was on the pricey side, didn't stop us though and a pint was ordered! Lovely bar, great TV and sports selection. I wish we had something like this local. Just amazing, would definitely visit again. Nice guys on the door as well.

Great bar with wide beer choice

Lovely place to eat,drink and be merry. Fantastic friendly staff. General Manager James not bad either. 🤣. I would say its the best pub in Sheffield, but I can't. I live next door... 🐻🤣.

Excelente personal de la cerveza del pub y la dirección junto con su vecino el oso pardo bien vale la pena una visita que seguro que vuelve

Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Great selection of beers. Love the place! Good location for shows, etc.

Good choice of ales. Good food. Highly recommend.

Perfect spot for a laid-back evening! Dropped by on a Monday night, walked right in, ordered some food and drinks, and had a fantastic time. The bar staff were super friendly, and the 30% Industry Discount was an awesome bonus! The food was on point, and the sour beers on tap were absolutely delicious. Definitely coming back!

Brilliant pub in a great location.

Amazing place, favourite place in Sheffield.

Gran lugar Gran ambiente Buena comida Fantástico manager Personal amable Genial para ver deportes, ya que hay muchas pantallas

Great afternoon here. Friendly staff. Music at a level to create a fun atmosphere but not prevent conversation and possibly the best tater tots I've eaten outside of the states ... and it's not just the amazing martini talking ... Thank you Ben for that masterpiece 😊🍸

Close to the Crucible Theatre with some outside seating. The beer choice is good and the staff are pleasant. Toilets are upstairs. It's worth calling in for a few beers.

Excellent place. Friendly enthusiastic staff. Belgium 🇧🇪 beer choice very good. Had Boon Oude geuze. Highly Recommended

Good food and some great ales on

I asked for non alcoholic options and was only told of the basics and non of the craft choices. Then had a look on untapped and saw they had a way better selection than the bar staff serving me had told me about. Was a bit disappointing.

Excellent city centre pub. Amazing range of beers and ales. ( The most I have seen in one place). Staff were phenomenally friendly and helpful. Reasonable prices. Football , pub games ,very clean and tidy. A brilliant atmosphere on Saturday lunchtime with footy fans and viewers. We will be returning. Didn't eat but from what I saw it all looked delicious.

This was a lovely pub for drinking, with a design echoing the grandeur of a theatre! The winding lights are beautiful and decorations dotted around of different beverages add to the feel, counter is really nice with all the options clear there. I had a refreshing pint of Rekorderlig, enjoying the leather seating and table was clean too!

Great local brewery pint. Child friendly before 8pm.

Good pub I didn't have any food on this visit

Been in today for lunch and drinks , the staff are brilliant especially the young lad with glasses who came and brought our food and drinks to our table , what a credit to the company ge is , fantastic selection of drinks , the food was lovely also

Dropped the daughter at mercure Hotel for the day, decided to go on a wander with the wife......we never left the place. What a bar. Great atmosphere, food was banging and loads of sport on silent to allow music to be heard. Will be back

I always enjoy calling in here for a pint. A big old building which is nicely situated near the Crucible and close to the Novotel and Mercure, it fits in well. There's a nice big bar in the centre serving a huge range of drinks - including at least one gluten free beer on draught (my fave is Magic Rock's Saucery). The staff are pleasant and helpful when it comes to explaining the beer types. Although not tried so far, I understand they serve gluten free options in their food offerings. A wealth of TV screens surround the bar area showing sport, which has an added atmosphere when the world snooker championships are being played next door! It can get extremely busy, which is great to see so, if you don't want the hustle and bustle when getting to the bar, try a weekday afternoon for a more relaxed experience!

Thursday 12th September 2024 Today, I had the pleasure of reviewing this excellent real ale house next to the Crucible in Sheffield This great wooden floored pub has a horseshoe bar The pub today had a good amount of mainly locals inside it The personal drinking in this pub were pleasent and lots of them drinking pints of real ales There is a plethora of real ales on in this pub. I've posted pictures of them on the pubs site. There were a lot of interesting beers on handpumps The staff were really good and helpful at their jobs also. In my opinion this pub is an essential visit for real ale drinkers when in Sheffield

Not the bar staff's fault but £7a pint and belive me when I say it was the worst pint I've ever had wish I could rate it zero stars won't be back

I went for a birthday part and the drinks were great priced and very nice. the entertainment for the night was a jazz band was amazing. aswell as the band there was a magician who’s tricks were very good and left me amazed. overall i had a great experience and would recommend to anyone who would want a party here.

Love this place, great location by the Crucible,dog friendly 😍, great food, friendly and helpful staff, huge choice of drinks to choose from and never short of somewhere to sit if that's your preference

Yes , very welcoming and attentive staff. Highly recommended 😊

The place in Sheffield for cold food. They've nailed it. Sadly it should have been hot! Our four dishes took half an hour to arrive during a quiet lunchtime. We suspect they were cooked quickly but the delay was getting them to the table. Food was edible but cold. Note that the only time we were asked if the food was OK was when the table was cleared. We were given a free drink voucher each. Not eating here again.

It's nice and has some atmosphere. However, it is really hard to get served and customer service needs work

Met up with family in the soft area, which we booked out for £5.00 per head.Very helpful staff as we had a person in a wheelchair access was kept clear and room organised so it was suitable for all. Staff at the bar were helpful and friendly and everyone enjoyed their food.Thank you both Sadie and Ebony and your great team.

Great Atmosphere. Lovely bar staff. Chatty, helpful, friendly. Fast, efficient, pleasant service. Good food.

Popped in for a quick bite before a show at the theatre and loved it. Music and atmosphere were brilliant. Really enjoyed the food and the staff were great. Would hesitate to visit again next time we’re in Sheffield

What a wonderful time! Head of Steam has a range of drinks, reasonably priced and the staff are delightful. Olly deserves the biggest shoutout ever!! He really went out of his way to make us feel looked after and I could not be more grateful. As someone who works in industry, his service is top tier and because of this, I will definitely be back (with the industry gang of course). Thank you Olly, your efforts were highly appreciated and recognised tonight. You’re the best!

Went to a show at the Lyceum across the road, so very convenient , atmosphere and music good, food excellent

I am a vegan and very fussy with what I will eat. This place caters for vegans really well, menu very adaptable too! I had the bbq corn ribs, cauliflower florets and fries with Asian slaw. It was honestly the best food I’ve had! Thanks

Visited on a busy Saturday afternoon, big shout out to beth, nothing too much trouble, she worked really hard and was extremely helpful and friendly. The other staff were lovely too

Great beers, great tunes and great staff🫶🏻🍻

An impressive range of drinks on offer

Excellent midweek visit for food and a couple of drinks. Service was friendly and efficient, included recommendations and knowledge on what was available. Food came out quickly, well presented and extremely nice. Staff were attentive and we'd definitely look to come again.

Pre theatre snack and drink. Chips were the most reheated, dried out, hollow dregs from other days , that I've ever had the misfortune to see. Inedible and frankly should never have been served never mind left the pass. Hot drinks inc coffee never saw a trained barrister in it's life. Luke warm, milky water. I mean seriously, coffee and chips.... its not like we set the barrè high...especially for a city centre venue, where unfortunately the coffee shops shut at 7pm.

Decent beer, great selection. Very loud for a Saturday afternoon

One of my favourite bars, fabulous place and the staff are awesome 👍🏼

The service was excellent, and didn’t have to wait long to be served. The food was nice! I ordered Pizza - however it may be worth checking underneath , as it was overdone and not immediately noticeable until almost finished, since it was not the entire pizza , couldn’t really go back with it when it was almost eaten.

Lovely pub and food was amazing but the female behind the bar was rude no customers service skills what so ever

Service for two drinks was good, he recommended an IPA for me to try a sample of and was fine, my partner had a Pepsi max and vodka, there was loud music playing were plenty of seats inside. Outside seating was okay, some tables under a tree had bird poo on them. It was 30°C so outside had plenty of people.

Just great friendly staff especially Minnie!! Lovely vibe and quick service, had a smashing time with the family!!! Can’t wait to go back.

Top tier pub in Sheffield. Always a good atmosphere and the drinks are decent prices.

Vegan Sundays slay but gets busy at times !

The atmosphere is great! Music not too loud, seating well spaced and comfy, and drinks looked and tasted great (Cocktails were £10 each). The bouncer was funny and friendly, and both him and the bartender were patient and kind with our little group. The biggest thing was the **magician** who came over to our table. He was friendly, didn't make us feel pressured to do anything, and really impressive! His name is Greg Holoryd (look up his name + wedding magician to find his socials) if you want to check him out (I don't think hes a regular part of the pub but made our evening extra entertaining)

Really nice pub with a great selection of drinks. Thoroughly enjoyable pub food and super friendly and helpful staff!

Great place for a relaxed drink. Staff were really nice and the atmosphere is pleasant.

I received my order very late..lol It was British soccer day, and when people were asked who lined up first, they left me out. Are you upset that Asians came to watch Euro soccer? When I looked straight into his eyes, he noticed me and accepted me?

I have visited the Head Of Steam a few times over the past few months and I absolutely love it! We visited @ 2pm on a Saturday for food, and I booked a table in advance. When we arrived we booked in at the bar then were taken over to our booth. The service, food and choice of beers were perfect! and there was a lady server with long brown hair (sorry I didn't get her name) who was amazing, looked after us the whole time and made our visit very enjoyable! I will definitely be back and I highly recommend.

Lovely bustling pub. Had children with us who were kept occupied with lots of games available to play.

Oli served us really friendly, prompt service. Love this place 😊

Ollie was great, proper good service

Fab service thanks Oli...very knowledgeable on the beers

Good bar. Very noisy but play good music

Didn’t give me a flake with my icecream

The head of steam is in my opinion, one of the best pubs for food, good beer, good conversation and good vibes all round. The manager James is fantastic at not only making you feel welcome, but also recommending drinks that you’re certain to enjoy. They also offer industry discount on both food and drink which is a major plus for me and my partner as we both work in the industry. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Great bar, amazing selection of of beer and superb service. Made a small error on our order and went above beyond to put it right. Stongly recommend.

Stylish pub with terrace to front. Stylish interior and very popular. We visited at 18.30 and there didn't seem to be enough staff. Bar service was slow. . There was a huge build-up of dirty glasses at the bar.

Good atmosphere, didn't have food but from what I did see it looked great.

Good outdoor seating in the sun

Did not have food but sat outside on such a sunny day. Glass collection could have been better but they were very busy. I enjoyed the time spent there.

Very busy ..meant long wait at the bar

Massively under staffed. Staff doing best they can under difficult circumstances. In the time it takes to get served you could’ve had a pint and be back for another one. Place must be missing out on a fortune

Walked past day before & the place was buzzing. Returned following day for lunch, Friendly welcoming bar staff. We ordered a drink. & burgers. Quick service, hot food. Pleasant lunch. Toilets are upstairs. Near City hall & Mercure St Paul’s hotel. Opposite Miller & Carter steakhouse.

Head of steam is a lovely, spacious, inviting pub for a delightful drinking experience. Offering delicious food and an extensive beer selection, it's the perfect spot to unwind with friends. Staff were lovely when I visited and couldn't be more professionally helpful.

Superb, always a good night out.🍻🍻

First time in this pub and such a great experience very friendly staff especially Beth who was very attentive and very helpful.

This place is really good in terms of its variety of drinks, particularly if you are into weird gins or Belgian/Trappist beers. They even have Delirium on tap! Their food menu is decent, comforting post-drink food and I've never had a problem with it. They have a huge beer garden to the rear which is especially nice during the summer or when the Snooker is on across the way at the crucible. My only feedback (which might make me sound a bit boring and might even be a bit unfair) is that the music in this place is so loud. I totally get the appeal of going to a noisy bustling place during evenings or weekends with some decent music but it's definitely on the louder side and therefore isn't somewhere I visit if the focus is on nattering as opposed to eating or drinking.

Loved it in here. So much beer to choose from. I'll definitely visit again.

I would thoroughly recommend this place. The service was great and all the staff were so helpful and pleasant and made you feel welcome. Lovely atmosphere. We went for the football and enjoyed their lovely snacks. Would definitely go again

An excellent drink. Staff member Emily was fab!

Nice place to visit, Lots of different beers to chose from so should be able to find something you like to drink. Service needs a little review as the all round bar is hard to get served when busy. Staff don't seem to take any notice of how long people have been waiting at the bar and tend to just serve the next person to shout.

First visit to Head, enjoyed the beer and the atmosphere.

Great service. Good atmosphere. Fantastic magician. Great place for drink. Went in when the snooker was on good entertainment.

Went here on a Sunday evening, had a lovely cocktail and there was a fabulous magician! He came round to our table and did some tricks, all for free! Was very entertaining and really made a nice change as usually used to loud live music or something similst as entertainment! Only thing I would say that it is quite expensive, but I guess that's understandable being so close to the crucible.

Cracking place for a pint during the championships

What a place. Great vibe, amazing selection of beers, decent food and loads of sport on tv and singalong songs. What’s not to love!

Truly awful service. Sat outside to watch the snooker and queued for over 20 minutes for a drink. Lots of staff around but only two serving and no urgency at all. As beer is expensive, you would expect better service. Very poor

Didn't used to like this place but there is a really good selection on tap and plenty of cans. A little pricey but not too bad. Have had a fair few really good pints in there

Had a lovely few pints of real ale in here, great atmosphere and even better beer selection. All topped off with loads of laughs and wow moments from the close up magician who was working the tables!
