As we arrive in peak summer and (hopefully) warm weather, something that becomes an attractive prospect is relaxing with a pint outside in a pub beer garden.
There are many pubs out in the Peak District offering stunning views of the countryside from your table whilst in the Sheffield suburbs there are hillside options like the Brothers Arms in Heeley offering an impressive view over the city. There are also some pubs overlooking the River Don in the Kelham Island/Neepsend area such as the Riverside Kelham and Gardeners Rest.
However, what if you are in the City Centre and are looking for that hidden oasis? Well, they do exist.. The classic of course is the University Arms that has a proper beer garden (with a lawn!) whilst a number of other pubs have patio/courtyard style outdoor drinking areas at the rear, these include the Washington, Red Deer, Grapes, Rutland Arms, Benjamin Huntsman, Triple Point Brewing and Roebuck Tavern. There are also a number of venues with a more continental attitude with tables out front on the pavement such as the Head of Steam, Vocation & Co., Sheffield Tap, Old Queen’s Head, Sheffield Water Works Company, Frog & Parrot, Dog & Partridge, Old Shoe and Two & Six Micropub.
