Modern Town Pub, Taproom, 3* Heritage Pub
If you’re visiting Sheffield by train it’s almost compulsory to stop for the pint at the Tap before moving on, and more than once I’ve broken my journey while passing through to have a pint.
Sheffield Tap is a pub and brewery right on Platform 1 of Sheffield Railway Station. It was converted and restored from the old first class refreshment rooms which had been derelict and unused for several years. The rooms were a showpiece project for the Midland Railway in 1905, with tiled walls and floors, a mahogany bar counter and ornate fittings. The conversion by Pivovar had a policy ‘to repair where possible and replicate as required’.
The refreshment room has the restored bar counter, an ornate, mirrored bar back, tiled upper walls and a terrazzo floor. The even grander former first class dining room has Minton tiling from floor to ceiling, large mirrors, a terrazzo floor plus the Tapped Brewery.
There are eleven handpumps with three or four beers from the brewery plus a selection of guests The eight keg taps also have a selection of Tapped beers plus guests. There’s a large range of bottled beers and the pub brands itself as ‘a world beer freehouse’.
