Best pub in Sheffield: The Church House live music venue named city's pub of the month by CAMRA

The Church House, on St James’ Street, near Sheffield Cathedral, has been named CAMRA Sheffield & District Pub of the Month for November 2022. Following its recognition, fans have called it the ‘best pub in Sheffield’, praising its reputation for showcasing the best local bands, the great atmosphere and the quality of the drinks and service there.

The pub is located in a Grade II-listed building which was built in a gothic revival style on the site of an old vicarage in 1859, according to CAMRA, and past uses include a cookery department, a choir boys school and a home for squatters. Since becoming a pub in 1987, it has had various names including the unforgettable Ferret and Trouserleg, along with Gladstones, the Priory and the Sanctuary, before Star Pubs & Bars bought the pub in 2012 and gave it the name which has stuck ever since.
