I love this pub. Sheffield is of course an amazing place for pubs and this place was my favourite!
Lucky lucky locals.

Just a wonderful wonderful pub. Well worth making the effort to visit. Best pub I have discovered in Derbyshire!

yes, not a pub by even the most optimistic of definitions. I sat outside on a wet bench with my beer as that felt like the only option.

A good pub that has been getting better and better over the 4-5 years I have been coming here. Landlord is a top bloke too!

Greene King bought it instead. Not sure if that is better than a developer.

What an unexpected delight! From the outside you wouldn't expect a lot but this is a really awesome place for a drink. Friendly too.

Not really my kind of pub but I'll go anywhere that serves a good pint of Proper Job

5 bar staff managed to do an impressive job of ignoring me, the only customer, for a good couple of minutes. A couple of them looked busy but the other 3 were just leaning.
And they had no ale anyway. And when they do its close on 4 pounds a pint.

Had been in the pub for less than a minute before a local told us "I'm a regular, you're not, f off". Should have heeded his warning as my pint was poor too.

Last night this pub gave me shelter from the snow and the best steak I have had in years. All that and beer from Skinners too. 10/10.

has reopened this week under new ownership, serving 3 real ales.

The first 4 words of your description apply to this pub too! My favourite in Paignton.

The Chainlocker and Shipwrights, Falmouth
For me this is the best pub in Falmouth. Looks great and serves a nice range of beers all in good condition.

the waitress hid for 15-20 minutes until we went away. Appalling!

mr.toes.5_ knows what he is talking about. This pub is very much at risk. Real shame.

don't mess with the bouncers. They only need the smallest excuse to get nasty.
If you prefer to enjoy your drink without the threat of violence come during the week....or don't come at all.

And the 35th review takes it into the Top 10 pubs on here!
simple stripped down pub for a pint of ale.

FaP is advertising World Cup football here. Say it isn't so!?

reopened as the Hanbury Arms. Not sure if anyone administers such changes here.

why does the gents smell so much as soon as you walk in?
shame as the beer was alright.

This place is definately my favourite pub of 2009. I only wish I lived a little (well actually a lot) closer. Keep up the good work Jamie!

The Old Ale Emporium, Harringay
Great pub. Really friendly owners and top notch guest ales!

The Charlotte Despard, Archway
Not sure what it was like previously but it's a great pub now!

The Britannia Tap, West Kensington
Pub was quite empty but I loved it. The place looks great, the staff are friendly and the Thai food was really good too.

Hostinec U Cerneho Vola, Prague
Not the friendliest place to someone not speaking Czech but thats probably how they retain their authentic feel in such a touristy area. I recommend braving it and you won't regret it!

Amazing range of beers, really enjoyed the smoked beer mentioned in previous comment.
Staff were really friendly too which does make a difference!

Looked good to begin with and it did show the cricket at least but the manager played the fruit machine the whole time which was really annoying. Was thinking of having a curry but the amount of flies in the bar put me off. If I thought there were a lot of flies in the bar then the toilet was shocking. Swarms of flies...it can't be that hard to keep a place clean.
Shame looks like the place has some potential, but I won't be going back.

I occasionally go due to the lack of choice in the area. At least there is some cheap food but the place is basically rubbish and it'll take you an age to get served even when its practically empty
30 Jan 2008 15:35
Nice to be able to avoid the smoke but beyond that I found it a bit on the dear side and there wasn't really anything special about it.

Love this pub to bits. The whole chain is great but this is the best one to come to for a more chilled evening and does the better food!

My favourite pub in the whole world. The most welcoming place I've ever been! It was my local for 8 glorius months!

The best club in Leicester 96-98. Haven't been to a club there since so probably still is!

Liked it when it was opened in my last year as a student but last time I went back we ordered some food. We were given a mug with a stubbed out cigarette and a piece of chewed gum in it to mark our table (nice) and there were a few tiny crumbs of cheese in the burger that could easily have been scraped off the plate of the last person who had a cheese related meal.

The Bavarian Beerhouse, Shoreditch
I love it! The beer might be a little dear but its worth it for the experience. Have been once when it was busy and once when it was empty - enjoyed both. Love the waitress outfits of course. Its closer to an authentic experience than I expected. Top marks from me!
