The Lescar

You'll find this corner pub anchoring the heart of Sharrow Vale, and it's exactly what a neighbourhood local should be. The bar's lined with rotating cask ales that actually taste like they've been looked after, whilst the kitchen churns out proper pub grub that goes well beyond the usual suspects. Sunday lunchtimes see the place rammed with families queuing for roasts that justify the wait. The crowd's a proper mix – students from nearby Ecclesall Road rubbing shoulders with long-time locals who've been propping up the bar since before the area got trendy. Weekend evenings can get properly lively, but never obnoxiously so, and the staff know their regulars by name and drink order.
