Your Local: Hallamshire House
The Reader: Mark Evans, solicitor & beer drinker
Why
is this ‘Your Local’? “First and foremost I just like the
variety of beer on the hand pulls and key kegs. Pretty much every time I’ve
been in there’s different beers to try. The pub always has a relaxed vibe too.”

The Local:
Residing
on Commonside in Crookesmoor this old coaching house continues to provide a
resting stop for thirsty travellers and locals alike in the west of Sheffield.
Its hook line - music, arts and community sits at the heart of its ethos.
With 8 cask lines and multiple keg lines including 4 Thornbridge beers in
addition to Pilsner Urquell and Leffe, the Hallamshire always has the newest
Thornbridge keg offerings. A recent
stalwart, from their innovative brewing side, includes the taste bud exploder Cherry
Brown. A brown ale with a massive oomph of sour Morello cherries melding with
toffee malt. The Hallamshire is one of a handful of pubs in Sheffield with a
full size snooker table; their dedicated back room providing a pleasing sanctum
sanctorum for pub obsessed gamers. A landscaped outdoor patio area, partially underground,
provides that indoor yet outdoor vibe ideal for those long summer days. The
etched windows glimmer light through the numerous traditional snug areas in
addition to the multiple open fires making this an all day, all year round kind
of boozer. Taxidermy and Martin Bedford illustrated posters, advertising
regular Blues gigs, punctuate the wood panelled interior reassuringly.
