The building dates back to 1867. It was designed by architects Flockton and Abbott as offices for the Sheffield Water Works Company. Any local real ale is a favorite drink among the customers. As with most Wetherspoon pubs, Fish and Chips is the most favorite dish on the menu. When you walk inside you notice the Welcome to Sheffield Water Works Company message on the carpet. Fancy decorative carpet throughout, incorporating patterned design from local architectural buildings nearby. Original, grand 2 story ceilings, grand windows and doors, original chandelier lighting. The pub has ambient day-to-day music and features DJ playlists and upbeat dancing on the weekend and student nights. They have Bingo on Monday and Quiz on Tuesday. So, if you are in Sheffield, look no further!
