Henry's, Sheffieldback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This pub used to serve a really good pint of beer however on the evidence of my last 4 visits the beer quality has substantially deteriorated. Last night I took both my pints back as the beer was off, my replacement beer wasn't much better. At one stage I would of ranked Henry's as the best real ale pub in Sheffield City Centre for its range and quality. Still a very nice drinking establishment (friendly/comfortable etc) but please look after your beer!

My first visit to this drinking emporium (it is a large room with split-level seating; a beer garden and I think another room upstairs? Loads of beer and my two were fine (White Rose and Clarks). Good range on draught and, as is now quite common in Sheffield pubs, a large selection of foreign bottled beers. service was fine although to be fair the place was quite empty as it had just turned midday. Didn't eat here but would use it again for a beer. One of many bars in the city which offer an extensive range of real ales and an easy walk from City Hall tram stop and other pubs in the vacinity.

Okay for a decent pint in the city centre but more a drinking barn than a pub

This pub really is a mixed bag. Friday night was busy and the beer quality control was missing. However, Monday afternoon the beer was back on form, very good value, and the staff absolutely charming. Food is again inconsistent, stick to the burgers rather than the salads and you won't go far wrong.

First visit here. Just down from City Hall tram stop. 10 Handpumps, beers from �2 pint. Very good quality condition beers. Will be back!

As detailed below, this place is very much open and has undergone something of a transition into what I can only describe as an 'ale bar'. Wood flooring, whitewashed walls and hearty pub food (burgers feature strongly) are in evidence, slightly off the beaten track down the side of John Lewis. Several, well-priced ales were on offer, from Elland, Kelham Island, Abbeydale, Dorset, Acorn and other breweries. Dorset Jurassic at �2.40 went down a treat. As Carl says, not the most charismatic of buildings but a worthy addition to the excellent Sheffield scene - fast outstripping its rivals as the best in the country.

Just as well it's still listed as being open, because it's now reopened and has had something of a real ale revolution.
I never expect much architecturally from places with names such as this, and sure enough it's a very modern, nondescript cavern of a place, with one rather large opened out area plus an upstairs.
Furnishings are high tables and comfy sofas, and whitewashed walls and a wooden floor give a distinctly circuity feel to the place. The bank of handpumps are chrome and the general feel is about as far from a pub as you can get.
However, this being Sheffield, real ale features strongly now, and 10 microbrewed ales (both local and from further afield) were available. I had a Salopian Hop Twister which was pretty darn good.
Although it's certainly not a pub, it's good t osee yet another addition to the real ale scene here, and let's face it, it could be a far worse.

Henry's closed years ago. I can't believe it's still listed here as being open!

More of a bar than a pub, this is one for the discerning middle-aged Sheffielder, looking to pull a more classy lady than you would get in one of the towns tarty pubs.
Popular with the gay crowd also.
