Behind unassuming doors, below street level and hidden above your favourite watering holes are a handful of clandestine liquor lairs; primed and ready to take your evening up a gear. Perfect if you're looking for somewhere a little off the beaten track, these secret bars in Sheffield are shaking up discreet drinks across sleek settings.
Public
Nestled below a Victorian town hall, the fittingly named Public is perhaps the most well-known of basement joints, thanks to being one of the best hidden cocktail bars in Sheffield. Housed within a former bog, the boozer now specialises in furtive tipples, sultry decor and vinyl tunes. Ideal come date nights, this stylish gem has gained a number of awards and nationwide acclaim.
Who knew that you'd find some of the slickest interiors in a gents' loo at Public Bar Sheffield?
Picture House Social
Located along Abbeydale Road and fronting a hidden outdoor terrace, Picture House Social may be the worst kept secret, but we think it still counts. A hotspot with students or revellers alike, the historic ballroom bar is now the home of ping pong matches, DJ sets, raucous weekend parties and comfy booths. Cocktails and cask ales are also on hand, alongside a range of meaty or vegan pizzas.
Your one-stop shop for sunshine drinks, table tennis and DJ sets.
Mr Wilson's & Capone's
After the best secret bars in Sheffield city centre? From the minds behind CODE and Molly Malone's, Mr Wilson's and Capone's make up a West Street spot that's transporting you to the Roaring Twenties. Complete with slinky decor, old-fashioned table phones for placing cocktail orders and a code word to get downstairs, this swish destination is delivering all the speakeasy vibes you need.
It's double trouble with Mr Wilson's and Capone's.
Daisy's Bar
Hidden above the impeccably chic Gatsby, you'll find the equally cool Daisy's, one of the most quirky bars around. Oozing retro vibes from the moment you enter, this Division Street cocktail lounge is serving an exclusive menu of potent concoctions; think artfully crafted brambles, mojitos and grasshoppers galore.
