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 ...
...Once you have done that, you can then take in the surroundings. On your left lies the bar, which takes up more than half of the floor. There is usually a big queue waiting to be served - no matter what time of day it is. Just before you reach the bar, there is a disabled toilet. I've not actually used it though, so I can't really tell you what it is like. Come to think of it ... I've never seen ANYONE use it!! The floor plan from the doors to the ...

Review of Bankers Draft (Sheffield)

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. However at the back end of last year JD Wetherspoons who own this place decided to give it a bit of a facelift and suddenly the Banker's Draft re-invented itself as one of their more prestige Lloyds No.1 Bars. The History ...
...this place spent most of its life as a bank. Occupying a prime location in the city centre it is now ideally situated next to the main bus stops and tram stops and only a short walk from the main bus interchange. The building itself is quite impressive, from the outside at least. A large mid-Victorian building occupying a prime corner location. Over the past 150 years or so the building has had many different uses but it is as a bank that it has ...

Review of Bankers Draft (Sheffield)

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 ...
...renowned food guru helps with the menus. There are often a load of dodgy old men in there, but this just adds to the entertainment value! We often go before going clubbing, as it is near most of the essential clubs. The drinks are dirt cheap, with Reef only being a £1, and on a Monday, Smirnoff Ice is a £1! The pub is a good size, and although there is no music this tends not to matter. There is always a good atmosphere and it is nice to be able ...

Review of Bankers Draft (Sheffield)

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 ...
...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 ...

The bankers draft, Found in the heart of sheffield is this old building that has had many different usages but now is the location of a fine outstanding pub, the pub itself is huge found basically on two floors that holds a capacity of some small night clubs, the beers are of wide variety and the food can be of the highest standard, the pub itself is open 7 days a week and on fridays and saturdays is really a lively place. it is often used as a ...
...clubs in the devionshire quater and is the last pub before the roundhouse nightclub. During the day you often find office staff in eating a good selection of foods and drinks. Being a JD weatherspoon pub the drinks are pretty much cheaper than any others in the surrounding areas, this sometimes brings out the poorer people but also makea a cheap night, the downside to the pub is that no music is allowed, this sometimes is a good ides but as a rule ...

Review of Bankers Draft (Sheffield)

I have been in the bankers draft on a number of occasions. We usually stay downstairs but yesterday we decided to go to the bar on the first floor. However we found the attitude of the one of the members of staff, well to put it politely it stank. There was a guy who walked upto the bar with a cigarette in his hand and instead of politely asking him to not smoke at the bar she nearly bit his head off. shouting "NO SMOKING AT THE BAR!!" and then ...
...dont mind the fact that she asked for ID its the way she asked and her whole attitude. Well thats the end of my moan. If any body fromn the Bankers Draft in Sheffield reads this I would appreciate some feed back. please feel free to email mail@robhamer.com ...
