| bierkoning (173), La Tropica, Netherlands | | July 28, 2009 4 or 5 cask ales in a small pub with various rooms. Affordable prices. Folk rock on sunday evening. Relaxed atmosphere. | | SilkTork (58), Rochester, England | | August 7, 2008 Laid back and friendly two room back street boozer with original tiling. 5 guest casks from small breweries and a cask of Tetley Bitter as a regular. Food served between 12 and 3, but not on a Sunday.
This is one of the pubs in Sheffield that most impressed me. The other was the University Arms. And it’s difficult to say which impressed me most.
The Bath Hotel however, is more in keeping with a working class area. A back street gem. Stunning tiled floors and bar area, and a front snug where the wall benches are upholstered in a beautiful and stunning blue leather. Built at the Victorian height of pub building, when pubs were at the heart of the community, and people stayed in their local all night. This place has an old fashioned charm and character not seen in the corporate, anonymous rubber stamp of a JDW or All Bar One. A little treasure to be treasured. | | evilempire (14), sheffield, England | | March 7, 2008 cosy back-street local just off West St’s main drag. compact, ond oddly shaped due to corner location. Half a dozen real ales from local and not-so-local micros, plus a handful of foreign draught and bottled beers. |
