Kelham Island Tavern, Sheffield

The Kelham Island Tavern is a historic public house located on Russell Street in the Kelham Island area of Sheffield. Originally constructed in the 1830s as part of a terrace, it first operated as "The Sawmaker" and later became known as "The White Hart." In the early 1990s, it was renamed the "Kelham Island Tavern" but closed shortly afterward. The building was derelict until it was re-opened under the same name in 2002, with a renewed focus on real ales.

The Kelham Island Tavern quickly gained a reputation for its dedication to quality brews, being recognized by the local press as one of the top real ale pubs in Yorkshire by 2003. The pub is notable for being the first to win the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) National Pub of the Year award for two consecutive years, taking the title in 2008 and 2009. It has also won the Yorkshire Pub of the Year title in 2004, 2007, 2008, and 2009, and was named Sheffield Pub of the Year from 2004 to 2011, and again from 2013 to 2018.

The tavern offers a selection of 13 real ales, including a mix of mild, porter, and stout varieties, along with rotating ales and fruit beers. It also serves soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Beyond its impressive beverage selection, the pub features a small garden with palm trees and serves as a venue for traditional English folk music, enhancing its unique character and charm.
