A Wetherspoon in the ground floor of the redeveloped Wards Brewery site. Central bar with extensive seating areas at each end and a large outdoor terrace.

Historic Interest

Wards was the last of Sheffield’s major local breweries, closing down in the summer of 1999. For almost 160 years, Wards produced a range of beers well known to Sheffield’s pub-goers, with names such as Sheffield Best Bitter, Kirby Strong and Waggledance. Kirby Strong immortalised John Kirby, who started it all back in 1840 when he established the Sheaf Island Brewery, on Effingham Road.
