It can be found in Commonside, which if you head up Barber Road from Sheff Uni, you’ll run face-first into on your right. Originally opened in 1986, this genuinely loved and archaically shelved shop has been run by its current owners Tony and Sandra since 2005. It is without doubt one of the best places in Sheffield to buy quality sourced and priced alcoholic beverages.
You’ll be able to see a little of the inside of this lovely shop from the photo above, but believe us when we tell you that once you get a foot in the door, that’s not half of your viewing pleasure. The Dram Shop has been serving quality whiskies, ales, lagers and wines from all over the world for as long as this writer can remember, including the likes of locally brewed Kelham Island ales alongside brewers Innis & Gunn and their oak-aged beer from Scotland. They also stock a phenomenal variety of whiskeys and European lagers. In fact, Tony’s current dram of choice and our recommended booze is a ten year old Benromach malt whisky from the top Shelf. Get some while stocks last.
If spirits are not your thing but you are partial to a tipple during the festive season, then organic wines might be your thing. With no artificial flavourings or chemicals, you’d be surprised how many glasses of organic wine you can drink without sealing yourself into hangover doom the following morning. Try to believe anything is possible, say we.
The shelves are wooden, not plahogony. The beers are sold individually and as cheaply as possible, not in brightly coloured multi-packs which reduce your overall choice. The staff are gentle and well informed, not indifferent and underage.
