Up to five cask beers and 11 craft keg lines provide an exciting, novel and difficult-to-find range of beers (plus two real ciders). Craft keg beer range might include a gueze, gose, rye wine, TIPA and imperial stouts. In the bar fridge are locally made pork pies (4 varieties), scotch eggs and cheese & onion bakes - details on the blackboard beside the bar.
If you are in Sheffield, this is an essential visit.

Historic Interest
The Crow is on the CAMRA Local Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. The porch has internal leaded windows and an impressive ceramic floor which features an image of a crown. Apart from the opening-out of the room on the right, the basic layout of the interior is relatively unchanged. The fittings are of varying ages, mostly late C20th. with some recent renovation. Unusually, the off-sales was approached via the entrance to the yard: purchasers entering through a small door. Originally a Rawsons pub opened in 1797, the C20th.saw a series of changes resulting in the closure of the pub in 2010, the building becoming a small hotel. In 2019, it reopened with the new name under the same management as the Rutland Arms (Sheffield:City Centre). Previous names include the Old Crown and the Crown. Historically, the pub is mentioned as a key player in the 1840’s Chartist protests, the Sheffield Outrages and the 1920’s Sheffield Gang Wars.
