The Greystones is Thornbridge Brewery's flagship Sheffield pub at 7 Greystones Road (S11 7BS) — a traditional community local with a top-class music room, The Backroom, attached. Programming leans hard into folk and blues, mixing established touring artists, emerging talent and local grassroots performers, and it is widely regarded as one of the city's key folk venues. The monthly open mic runs towards the end of the month (usually the last Monday, though it varies — check listings). Around 120 capacity with a PA, guitar amp, house piano and an in-house engineer; welcomes originals and covers across folk, blues, acoustic and Americana.
