The Rutland Arms is a much-loved real-ale and craft-beer pub in an early-20th-century yellow-brick building on the corner of Furnival Street and Brown Street (86 Brown Street, S1 2BS), in the arty heart of Sheffield's city centre. Seven handpumps pour ales from breweries around the country alongside two real ciders, craft beers and properly made food served inside or in the garden. With a small standing capacity of around 70, the pub regularly hosts events and live music showcasing local talent. A characterful, well-respected grass-roots fixture of Sheffield's independent scene.
