3. Sheffield Tap

Sheffield Tap is a great pub with beautiful architecture and even better vibes. It has an onsite microbrewery, meaning that you can find the freshest beer possible behind their bars.

4. The Fat Cat
Address: 23 Alma Street, Sheffield, S3 8SA
The Fat Cat was opened as an alternative to all of the pubs in the city owned by the larger breweries. It is a very popular pub with a well-stocked bar that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. It is intended to be a very traditional pub, and so has a very different atmosphere to many pubs up and down the country. But it’s definitely a good atmosphere!
It has a heated beer garden, free parking, and a range of beers, drinks, and home-cooked food. Based in the heart of Kelham Island, the pub also has no music and no fruit machines, giving it a really chilled, cosy vibe that you can enjoy with all of your friends.
5. The Rutland Arms
Address: 86 Brown St, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield S1 2BS
The Rutland Arms is right in the arts center of the city, and it is a pub that deceives many patrons. On the outside, the Rutland Arms looks deeply traditional, and possibly even dull. But step inside, and you will enjoy the decor and atmosphere years in the making with trinkets expressing the personality of all the popular patrons and all the staff who have spent their years within its walls.
The Rutland Arms specializes is in fine beers and boozes as well as freshly cooked food, and you can enjoy all of the above whilst you sit out in the beer garden or whilst you sit indoors and enjoy the music played by the jukebox.
6. The Brown Bear
Address: 109 Norfolk Street, City Centre, Sheffield, S1 2JE
The Brown Bear in Sheffield is one of the oldest pubs in the city centre, and it dates back as far as the late 18th century. The building is a grade 2 listed building and is even actually older than the town hall. The pub is a classic 2-roomed pub with a regular crowd of theatre goers. The venue has a few weird rules, like no music or electronic devices, and also, according to some patrons, a no swearing rule!
Take a visit and see how long you can last without swearing and without TikTok or BeReal.
7. The Dove & Rainbow
Address: 2 Hartshead Square, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield, S1 2FD
The Dove and Rainbow calls itself the home of rock, real ale, and live music. They are a little bit tucked away, but it is worth the visit if you want a cheap pub with live music, great vibes, and great drinks. They offer a wide range of real ales from up and down the country to go with their even wider range of live music performances. With performers from Europe, Australia, and even the USA, the venue is very proud of its contributions to Sheffield’s live music scene.
8. The Bessemer
Address: The Fountain Precinct, 58 Leopold Street Sheffield, S1 2GZ

9. The Benjamin Huntsman
Address: 12-18 Cambridge St, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield S1 4HP
If we’re listing cheap pubs, realistically, there had to be at least one Wetherspoons on here. Spoons is a staple of the Great British Pub Visit, and it is definitely one of the cheapest chain pubs out there. The Benjamin Huntsman in Sheffield is named after a member of the steel industry in Sheffield, and the pub itself is as good as spoons can be. It is cheap, cheerful, busy, and lively, with the traditional huge walk to the bathroom.
