Guide to Sheffield Tap Rooms

Beer tastes its best when it’s at its freshest and it doesn’t get much fresher than when it’s drank in a tap room. Out of the 20-something independent breweries in Sheffield, a fair few have their own tap rooms and brew pubs.

Tap Rooms & Brew Pubs

The Brewery of Saint Mars of the Desert (Attercliffe)

Voted one of the best new breweries in Europe, SMOD have had quite the start since opening up in what must have seemed like the middle of nowhere (Attercliffe) in 2018, having relocated from America and Boston’s much-loved craft beer scene.

These guys quickly gained a reputation for becoming the brewery that doesn’t know how to make a bad beer. Their tap room might be small, it might be in Attercliffe but it’s well worth a visit, tasting their beers at their peak.

It’s open Friday & Saturday’s. Full details here.

Crosspool Ale Makers Society at Beer Dog (City Centre-ish)

It might be located opposite the Sheffield United football ground but Beer Dog is anything but a football pub. The bottle shop specialises in German beer whilst their 4 taps pour Crosspool Ale Makers Society beers. 

Mark Booth, the man behind the brewery started off his journey into making beer back in 2017 as Hopscotch Craft Brewing with a mate however that partnership didn’t last. Mark decided to start again and go it alone with Crosspool Ale Makers Society. 

The COVID-19 pandemic wasn’t ideal for pubs and bars but it gave the brewery the opportunity to grow with cans in bottle shops and beer on draught at pop-up events. Beer Dog is their first home, now open every day.

Factory Floor (Kelham)

Factory Floor might not technically be a tap room however beer doesn’t get any fresher than the tanks here.

Based at 92 Burton Road, Factory Floor have made great use of being neighbours with Neepsend Brew Co. who fill up tanks on the bar, from the brewery.

From the brewery to tank to tap in just 2 processes keeps the beer fresh whilst being environmentally friendly. 

Heist Brew Co. (Neepsend)

Opened in August 2021 (16 months later than expected) this new tap room is a huge upgrade from the breweries original home in Chesterfield. A former warehouse has been converted into the perfect spot for craft beer fans which includes an onsite brewery, two bars, 30 beers on tap (10 of which will have been brewed just metres away) plus a load of non-beer-related stuff (coffee, burgers, donuts, arcade games…).

Loxley Brewery at the Wisewood Inn (Loxley)

Since 2018 Loxley Brewery have been brewing traditional cask beers underneath their pub, the Wisewood Inn. Having mastered cask, the brewery have started to brew craft beers too and you’ll find all their beers on the taps at The Wisewood Inn, a country pub.

Tapped Brew Co. at Sheffield Tap (Sheffield Train Station)

The Sheffield Tap is a much-loved pub based at Sheffield train station, it can be easy to not realise that you’re drinking beer brewed on site as the brewery looks like it’s part of the furniture but the beer tastes great.

Triple Point Brew Co. (City Centre)

Triple Point Brew Co. is a father and son-led brewery founded in 2018 with a focus on craft lager as they wanted to do something different to what other Sheffield breweries were doing (pale ales) however they’ve proved that they know what they are doing as their IPA’s have won awards.

The tap room, a short walk from the city centre is a great bar with seating available around the action!
