Bankers Draft, Sheffield

Hmmmm, Bankers Draft. I have probably frequented this pub more than all the others in Sheffield put together. Situated in Castle Square, it is a short walk from the bus interchange and the train station. There is also a tram stop opposite the building. Bankers Draft is part of the J.D. Wetherspoon chain. ~*So what's it like inside???*~ Well it's actually a bit dark and gloomy to be honest. You walk in through the main doors and you have to adjust your eyes, and accustom yourself to the smoky grimness. Once you have done that, you can then take in the surroundings. On your left lies the bar ... more

Situated at 1-3 Market Place right in the centre of Sheffield lies the Banker's Draft. For many years this place has always had a bit of a reputation as a dull, drab smoky place where the market crowds and down and outs hung out.

The Banker's Draft, what a pub! Its situated in Sheffield city centre, right next to the Castle Square tram stop. It is part of the Weatherspoons chain. It is quite a dark pub, with a dodgy carpet with an upstairs and downstairs. The food is gorgeous, with loads of veggie options. You can get two minted lamb burgers for £5, which is really nice and very filling. You can also get a coffee and a muffin for 99p, which is an absolute bargain! There are 50 meals on offer every day and Egon Ronay, the renowned food guru helps with the menus. There are often a load of dodgy old men in there, but this ... more

The Bankers Draft - Lovely old building, but wow it is dingy inside. One of the last time I was in the Bankers, there was an awful pong as if some one had been sick, apparently it was somthing to do with the spilling of beer and cracked tiles ???? First impressions - As you walk through the door - lots of high tables for people to stand around, this area is light and bright - most of the tables wobble. usually very smokie. The down stairs bar is to your left, long and always crowded - never enough bar staff and those that are serving look totally fed up. No moral, never a smile. Just serve the ... more
