Best Beer Gardens in Sheffield City Centre
The Forum
Right in the heart of the city centre, The Forum kitchen and bar opens early morning for breakfast and brunch, right through to the early hours after transforming into a late-night bar.
With plenty of picnic tables set out on Devonshire Green, it’s the perfect sunny spot for enjoying a pint or two and some delicious food – especially as it is so conveniently located near University of Sheffield buildings, and the popular Division Street.
Possibly the best beer garden in Sheffield if you’re not looking to stray too far from town.
Where? 127-129 Devonshire Street, S3 7SB

Assembly, Bradfield
Assembly is the neighbourhood bar and bistro operating late into the night on the outskirts of the Peak District. Set in one of Yorkshire’s most stunning locations, customers can sip on their favourite drinks and soak up the warm British sun this summer.
Tuck into a feast of bar snacks like truffle parmesan fries and spend the perfect weekend afternoon with all your friends and family.
Where? Mill Lee Rd, Low Bradfield, Sheffield S6 6LB
Piña
This Mexican-inspired bar serves tacos, tequila and some serious summer holiday vibes. Frozen margaritas and live DJ’s, come the weekend Pina has a great atmosphere.
With a lovely outdoor area, soak up the sun and enjoy a cocktail and some sharing plates as the sun goes down. Located one of our favourite Sheff neighbourhoods, Kelham Island, it’s the perfect spot to begin your evening out.
Where? 3 Harvest Ln, Sheffield S3 8EF
The Millowners Arms, Sheffield Beer Garden
Formerly the Kelham Island Museum show pub and event space, the venue underwent a makeover and transformed into The Millowners Arms we know now.
Serving all your usual suspects as well as small plates, street food and a good roast. They’re also known for their great outdoor set-up in the courtyard complete with undercover seating and heaters, perfect for beer garden season.
They’re also a dog friendly pub too!
Where? Kelham Island Museum, Alma St, S3 8RY
The Gardeners Rest
‘More than a pub, a community hub’. This Sheffield favourite situated down in Neepsend is the city’s first community-owned pub which shows just how special this venue is to locals.
Expect high-quality pints, both local and nationwide from small independent breweries and live music on the weekends.
The easy-going vibe combined with its Alice in Wonderland-esque garden looking over the River Don makes it a must-go venue. If you’re looking for the best beer gardens in Sheffield, this has to be on your list.
Where? 105 Neepsend Ln, S3 8AT
The Fat Cat
This multi-award-winning pub gained its reputation being Sheffield’s first independent real ale pub and is now known nationally for its specialist range of real ales which are brewed on-site by Kelham Island Brewery.
The venue oozes character with its original layout and traditional pub atmosphere in the industrial surroundings of Kelham Island. Order a homemade pie with your pint and you’ll leave very satisfied, I promise.
Where? 23 Alma St, S3 8SA
Saw Grinders Union
Another Kelham Island gem that had to be on our list of the best beer gardens in Sheffield. Saw Grinders Union is tucked away inside Globe Work’s courtyard and it has a huge outdoor space for all your rendezvous needs.
Top tip: Get both of the big dips. You won’t regret it. And if that wasn’t tempting enough already, they do pancakes on the weekend. Coffee, cocktails & craft beer. Count me in!
Where? Globe Works, S6 3AE
The Hallamshire House
Known locally as ‘The Tardis’, this unassuming pub operated by Thornbridge Brewery has several nooks to enjoy a pint in including a cosy games room and an oak-panelled snooker lounge with a full-sized snooker table.
The basement leads out into the ‘secret beer garden’ where you’ll find ample seating and live music on the weekend. You’ll have to venture out of town a bit for this boozer but it’s a worthy addition to the beer tour.
Where? 49 Commonside, S10 1GF
