Dam House

You'll find Dam House tucked away on Mushroom Lane, in that bit of Sheffield where the city sprawls out towards the water. It's the kind of place where regulars actually know the staff and the bar staff know what you drink—proper pub etiquette, none of that contrived nonsense. The crowd's mixed and relaxed; you'll see locals nursing pints alongside people cutting through from the city centre, all rubbing along just fine. It's warm without being fussy, which is exactly what a neighbourhood pub should be.
