One of Sheffield’s newer micropubs, No.3 was opened by Loxley Brewery owner Stephen Wesley in a former Sharrow Vale shop in November 2024.
It’s named not for its street address but that it’s the third of Loxley’s pubs, after the Wisewood Inn in Loxley and the Raven in Walkley – another recent PotM winner. We visited No.3 as part of our recent Ecclesall Road social and it proved a hit with members, resulting in their win as our Pub of the Month for May.
The micropub is a single wood panelled room with an impressive central bar, made of yew and oak from Grenoside. There is window seating and larger tables in the front, and church pew seating in the rear of the venue. A bench outside offers limited seating in warmer months – and at the end of summer 2025 an air conditioning unit was installed to provide a more literally chilled atmosphere.
Manager Joe and his team curate a large music playlist which is played low to provide a cosy background to the quiet adults-only space. The micropub attracts locals and also diners from the many nearby restaurants.
The ‘cellar’, a small shed located outside to the rear of the premises, provides three lines of changing Loxley real ale. There are also seven keg lines with four lines of guest craft keg from a range of local and national breweries. Alongside these there are regular lines of a cider, Dortmunder Vier, and Loxley’s Black Dog milk stout.
No.3 is a welcome addition to Sharrow Vale and the thriving Sheffield micropub scene, and this award is well deserved. Join us at the bar at 8pm on Tuesday 12 May to share a beer with the team and celebrate.
