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 punters and move on to the next.
In front of the bar is a low seating area - basic tables and chairs with the odd bandit thrown in for good measure. The toliets are down stairs and boy is this a depressing walk, the stair well and corridor is in need of a lick of paint and new carpet. The toliets leave a lot to be desired, no toliet paper * my last visit was about 12ish* in all of the cubicles, no locks or if there was they were broken. Even if you use the upstairs bar and toliets it is not much better. The low ceiling can be a bit opressive at times because of the dark colours of paint on the walls.
The pub over the years has really gone down hill, I now compare this to the Cannon pub in Sheffield.
The drinks may be cheap, but it is not a pub where I'd want to have my last drink of a night in, as it really does get a clientell of its own later.
As for the food - its all ping - freezer to microwave. And I was once advised - before eating in a pub, check out the toliets, cos if they are a mess then the kitchen wont be much better.
The Bankers Draft has got to be the worse of all Wetherspoons pubs in Sheffield.
I dont very often go in the Bankers any more, mainly I meet my friends there because it is convienant for buses and trams, but its one half and then move on, whatever time of day
