The Brewers Droop is indeed next to a tramstop. But stay on the tram a bit longer .... Most of the pubs on Sheffield's city centre and Infirmary Road ale route are within 2 minutes of a tram stop, and nearly all the others are within 5 minutes. And the Sheffield Tap makes a good finishing point when you've caught the tram back to the station.

Oh, and The Queens Head is hidden away unsignposted in the interchange next to the station (I know people who catch a bus there every day and didn't know it was there). nice atmosphere, genuine Olde Worlde half-timbering, good Thwaites beer, and sensible fresh cooked pub food. But don't bother with WordSoup on the games machine - there's an expert behind the bar and you'll never get near the prize scores.

I'll look out for that Old Queens Head near the Interchange,sounds good, it can't be too far from the Penny Black, see my thread 29 above.
(I found another good pub near a railway station yesterday, The Raynes Park Tavern, located opposite the London side platforms of Raynes Park Station SW20, good food and drinks at surprising low prices)

Missed that. If you fr equent the Penny Black, then even the Bankers Draft must seem refined!

Yes, the Old Queen's Head is near the Penny Black. You can see it from there. In fact, that's about the only place you CAN see it from. When they rebuit the bus station they practically walled off the OQH, which was bonkers because it's a real asset to a bus station that feels a little distant from town centre facilities.

Can't compete with the massive and excellent beer range of the Sheffield Tap (platform 1 on the rail station). But does decent inexpensive food and looks after the Thwaites well. It's also a bit less beard and yuppie (I'm only ONE of those).

If anyone's interested in finding it during a BOJ, it's three or four minutes from Sheffield station, on the far end of the bus station.
