The Old Shoe, the brainchild of Mike Pomranz (Cider Hole) and Matt Beety (The Bear) opened in 2023. Specialising in ciders and unusual cask/keg beers it nestles in an old shoe shop in Orchard Square. No stranger to awards, they have won Sheffield CAMRA Cider Pub of the Year for 2025. As well as always stocking a range of premium quality ciders on tap and in bottle, they organise tasting events led by well regarded cider makers and even make their own cider on site once a year (the 2024/25 batch was available to try on the award presentation day).
The bar stocks locally roasted coffee, as well as non-alcholic drinks. A retro touch is the vinyl record collection that plays in the background. A monthly comedy night rounds up the entertainment roster. Excitingly, the OS is expanding into the upstairs of the building, so keep an eye out for the launch very soon.
