Pub 16, Day 5 – Sheffield Tap

By Rob

Me and Andy are not above charitable acts and, as such, we offered an invitation to our mate Danny. A fellow who hasn’t really had success with a member of the opposite sex since 2009, it’s understandable why we felt the need to extend the hand of friendship and bring him out with us on a little bit of Pubquest.

The Sheffield Tap is a fantastic pub, built into the train station and offering a great view of the railways. It’s got an old fashioned, Victorian-esque feel to it and has an excellent range of real ales, which is handy for all those real ale enthusiasts and those few sad people who are trying to drink a different pint in every pub in Sheffield.

Permanently in a state of predatory bachelorism, Danny took the opportunity to subtly stare at every female in the place. You might think that being stared at from across a room would be interpreted as a compliment, but it definitely is not. Additionally, while Danny is a lovely guy, he suffers from a small problem, which is that he lusts after girls several orders of magnitude more attractive than himself.

Sheffield Tap gets 9/10 for its good beers and unique charm – we each finished a pint of Bakewell Best Bitter, except for Danny who had a Carling.
