The Fat Cat, a red-brick corner pub with a blue-painted ground floor and hanging baskets

The Fat Cat

Alma Street, Kelham Island

Address: 23 Alma Street, Sheffield S3 8SA
  • Bar
  • Rain-proof ☔
  • Cheap and cheerful
  • Cosy

Settle into the little Kelham Island pub that started Sheffield's real-ale boom in 1981, with ever-changing local beers and a beer garden out back.

Why it's a good date: A proper old-fashioned pub with no music, so you can actually talk. Pair it with the museum round the corner and make a slow afternoon of it.
