Shakespeare Hotel, Sheffieldback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Personally, prefer this to the Fat Cat & Kelham Island Tavern. Great beer, great layout, darts & only £2.60 for my beer.

First stop on the pre match drinking to see the mighty U's snatch an injury time equaliser at Rotherham. Excellent start to the day with a pint of Clarks (with an old diesel engine on the clip) and then i think something called Five Towns. Losts of different drinking rooms and cheap rolls to tide us over until the Riverside. Superb boozer in the wonderful Kelham Island area, where there are more decent pubs in a square mile than there are in about 20 square miles near me! Lucky Sheffield residents. 8/10

this place looks rough like a rock pub but when you see the range and quality of the beer ( in the top 2 of the 8 pubs tried )

This is an outstanding pub. It has a local feel yet it is in town. A mixed and friendly clientele, cool bar staff, wifi, amazing 'In de Wildeman' IPA from Flying Dog on draught and plenty good micro real ale. Get yourself there!

This was a new one to our group, an excellent addition to the Kelham Tri-angle (where you wouldn't mind disappearing for a while!) We were introduced to the young bar manager, Chris, who knows his stuff and keeps excellent beer. There were about 8 beers - nearly all of them from micros which I'd never encountered including Leeming Bar and Ouseburn beers from further north. They also sold tasty baps very cheaply - just the job to mop up the beer now and again. A cracking dance room upstairs where live acts were featured.

Decent selection of cask ales. A bit of a traditional "spit and sawdust" type pub with live music and popular with heavy metal types.

Called in yesterday and was impressed. Good selection of ales. Only been open about a month. Good friendly staff.

The Shakespeare is to reopen in early July after an extensive program of fully sympathetic refurbishment. The Shakespeare is to reopen as a real ale and live music house and will feature an extensive range of real ales in keeping with its location on the Sheffield Real Ale Trail and will be host to a whole range of live music events and sessions in the newly refurbished and extended premises.

Sparsely-furnished pub that stands alone in an area of dereliction and renewal to the north of the City Centre. It's quite close to the Fat Cat and KIT but doesn't usually warrant a mention in the 'valley of beer' ale trail. The stained-glass windows are the extent of any opulence in the pub's current incarnation, as inside it's bare-boards and I would say student oriented, with leaflets, flyers and couches in the back. Still retains a traditional layout with a bar room, games room (with pool table) and back room leading off a central lobby area. Gigs are staged upstairs, one was free on my visit but I didn't indulge. The atmosphere was pretty good and staff friendly, and the beer range, whilst not brilliant, was OK- Copper Dragon Golden Pippin, Black Sheep and Deuchars. CD was on form as ever. I enjoyed it here, not a must visit if you're here for the Valley of Beer, but if you've visited the others you could do worse than visit.

Currently closed and up for sale, but watch this space!

Nice big pub, currently stripped of pretty much all its non-original decor, and quite bare. Presumably this is only temporary.
Huge yard at the back is very popular. The upstairs room is used for lots of gigs, although it is not best suited, as the only entrance is in front of the stage and the sound desk. Friendly staff and atmosphere and a decent choice of beers, but when I went, they didn't appear too well kept.
A good pub with lots of potential, but has some fierce competition from the nearby Kelham Island, Fat Cat and Riverside.
