Covering Ecclesall Road, And Surrounding Streets

This area appears to be where the affluent of the city do their shopping. Patsy and Eddy from Ab-Fab would feel right at home. Also this is the tradditional home for students from Sheffield City Polytechnic, ( Now Hallam University ). All the large houses along the ajoining streets have been let to students.
At nights the drinking establishments are often full to overflowing. A great site in the summer, the black cabs always do a roaring trade! There are also a great deal of fast food outlets.

The Pomona - Ecclesall Road Dec 1999
This modern, open plan pub is surprisingly cosy, and stylish.
They sometimes have a jazz band playing in the corner.
The Devonshire Arms -
Ecclesall Road Dec 1999
Once in the middle of a terrace, but now standing alone

The Stag - Psalter Lane, Dec 1999
On a bit of a back street, but well worth visiting. Lots of comfortable and cosy conservatory seating.
And a massive car park, although why we still have car parks in pubs, in this day and age, is a vexing puzzle!

The Porter Brook - Ecclesall Road Jan 2000
Appeared in the mid 1990's in a former electrical contractors shop. A very busy addition to Ecclesall road's bustling pub scene.
A hogshead house,
Always a good selection of cask ales.
If you sit in the windowed section at the south end of the pub you can see the Porter Brook itself babbling by, below your feet!

Pubs/Bars are listed in alphabetical order.

The Nursury Tavern, has been rebuilt again. They have built a japanese pagoda garden on the front, complete with stone seating made from concrete garden slabs.

The general consensus is that they've made a cobblers of a once good pub. There is now no snooker table, why do they have to mess with traditional and popular pubs?
