I like pubs. I like reviewing pubs for this site. I think everyone should have access to pubs. However, I only review pubs if they are: a) good; b) accessible and, preferably, both. There's no point in posting on this site if they are not accessible is there? That is why the Sheffield Tap comes with a 'but' It's the perfect place to sluice the dust of the trail from your throat if you arrive at Sheffield by train as it is accessible from Platform 1. It is a lovely restoration of the old Edwardian dining rooms. I was first there on a weekday lunchtime and it was very quiet. I returned early Saturday afternoon and it was packed. There's loads of choices of drink for sale but most importantly for us it is pretty much on one level, the only proviso to that being I think some of the internal doors would be too narrow for powered chairs. For me, the main issue is the accessible toilet. The entrance is tucked away in the corner of one of the bars. It is accessible, yes, but if you are in a wheelchair you will struggle to get there past the tables and chairs. On the Saturday when it was busy I would have struggled to get there with my rollator. Luckily, I am ambulant with walking sticks and the 'normal, gents are very accessible.
Disabled Access In and Around
Average
Largely on one level. A few of the internal doorways are a bit narrow.
Accessible facilities: Single-level venue
Parking & Transport
Good
I travelled to this place by tram
Sheffield trams are excellent and there is a stop directly next to the station. You then need to negotiate a couple of lifts to the Tap
Accessible Toilets
Poor
Toilet itself was fine but it's tucked away in the the corner of one of the seating areas and you have to manoeuvre past a lot of seats and tables
Facilities: Accessible toilet
Staff
Good
Friendly. The door staff went out of their way to help me in.
Additional Information
Lovely atmospheric pub if you are ambulant. Tricky if you're not.
