Review of The Waldorf Hotel
13 Nov 07, 20:35
Good place to stop when traveling 
Don't be fooled by the Waldorf's name. Yes its a hotel as in it has rooms for the night but its got a good bar inside here. The best thing in here is the mix of people, young and old. The young coming for the cheap drinks and the old coming for the real ales. It gets busy here on match days so if you do come now, get here early that said its a good place to get a drink before or after getting the train. (Due to its proximity with Piccadilly train station)

Review of Bar S1
13 Nov 07, 20:31
Good Value Drinks, Disgraceful Toilets 
Bar S1 didn't do it for me. One of many bars and pubs on west street it seems to have an air of pretentiousness about it. The decor is a sight to behold, I think they should have sack the guy who suggested the colour scheme but the drinks are value for money. This is about the only thing going for it as the toilets are an absolute disgrace and theres hardly any seating for such a busy bar. Its only worth coming here for a quick pint before moving on I think.

Review of The Dog & Partridge
13 Nov 07, 20:27
Nice Pub with Live Music on Trippet Lane
There are one or two nice pubs on Trippet Lane, the Dog and Partridge is another good pub. I was a bit worried at first to enter but my nerves were settled by a very smiley/friendly bar staff member. It seems the locals like Guinness here as I think I was the only person there without one so if Guinness is your thing maybe here is the place to try it. The pub has a lot of live bands and it almost reminded me of the Leopold in Doncaster but a lot more classier.

Review of The Old Queens Head
13 Nov 07, 20:24
Tudor Pub ideal for Meeting 
Nearby to Penny Black the weird smelling pub on Pond Hill is a much nicer pub called the Old Queens Head. Its a very old looking building (I would say tudor) which seems to have avoided the grasp of developers for the mean time. It's very close to the Bus Station but doesn't get too much passing trade by the looks of it. Most of the people were middle aged so expect to drink in a quiet surrounding. It makes for an ideal meeting place on a weekday night.

Review of The Penny Black
13 Nov 07, 20:21
Drunks, Football and Weird Smells 
I wondered in Penny Black by mistake. Residing on Pond Hill its pretty much a football pub, meaning the only time it has atmosphere is when the footballs on. When I went in there were a few drunks which for 3 in the afternoon was a little unsettling. There's a few weird smells in here as well, like damp carpet but mixed in with something else. I was happy to leave this pub when I could. 1 Star is all it will get from me!

Review of Reflex The 80's Bar
13 Nov 07, 20:18
Low Brow 80's Themed Bar
Reflex (formerly Edwards) is a 1980's themed bar chain night very much like Flares (1970's themed). Basically the decor in the place hasn't changed much from what it used to be, it just plays 1980's music all night like Duran Duran et al. Its good to come here for a laugh I guess but its not my type of thing anymore. Most of the people here are in their late twenties early thirties probably here to reminisce over a pint. If you want some novelty in the evening come here for a bit but don't make a night of it.

Review of The Red Lion
13 Nov 07, 20:15
Good for the Weekend
The Red Lion on Charles Street is a great pub in the center of Sheffield. Theres a lot of beers on tap and even a few ales as well to keep the older drinkers happy. There is much of an atmosphere here unless it match day at Bramall Lane but the mix of young and old drinkers works really well here without looking seedy or being quite aggressive. Sadly thou it lacks something special about it, its the people that make a place at the end of the day so this is really a weekend pub.

Review of RSVP
13 Nov 07, 20:12
Nice Views and Nice Staff
RSVP on Cambridge Street is one of the only few places I know in Sheffield that has two floors to it (But not a nightclub). It's got a really nice bar to it and the second floor views of the city center are really nice, day or night. Drinks are a tad pricey I think but its a big place and the atmosphere on the weekend can get really good. I'm going to give in an extra star just for having really hot bar staff thou. Go and check it out yourself!

Review of Runaway Girl
13 Nov 07, 20:09
Not as I expected from word of mouth
The Runaway Girl can be found on Arundel Street in the city of Sheffield. I heard a lot of good things about it from review websites but after going there I can't understand why. Its quite a small bar and the cocktails were nice but I've tasted better at a Revolutions bar. That said, the staff were very good and the atmosphere ok, but from listening to other people I expected a lot more.

Review of Wetherspoons
13 Nov 07, 20:06
Average Wetherspoons and Low Prices
A good city center wetherspoons in Piccadilly. I went in the afternoon after traveling the morning to get to Manchester on the train so its wasn't that busy inside. As a result I cant tell you whether this place is good enough in the night time but its a huge place with lots of seats and there was nearly as many staff as customers when I stopped by so the signs are good. Not an awe inspiring pub but be at awe with the low prices!
