Old Monk, Sheffield

A great building (an old bank) but wasted on a mediocre pub. nothin terrible about it, but (attractive) bar staff hsd no idea how to serve a drink that wasn't in a bottle. Was a much better place under it's old guise (the refectory?) and on a weekend match days is populated by the kind of burly, shaven-headed, designer label wearing crowd you might expect to be involved in some kind of naughtiness at football. The common room(division street) is a much better alternative.

Dove And Rainbow, Sheffield

Alternative pub -punks/goths/skins/skaters/rockers would feel welcome here, but I saw a steady stream of people from the bankers draft next door in there too. Didn't see any kids in there but some hanging round the Square outside(avoiding the chavs perhaps?). Great jukebox for the crowd that go there, plus dj's fri/sat night, open mike acoustic music night sunday when I was there, movie quiz wednesday. cheap drinks for a town centre pub, friendly staff, but toilets a bit minging.

Bar 101 (Ex Viva Cafe), Sheffield

Thankfully it's now closed, but unfortunately it's not even the worst pub in sheffield centre - the cannon would be a contender for that dubious honour.
