About us

Nestled in the S6 corner of the Steel City. Built-in 1846 the building was originally a grocery shop where locals sold bottled beer that could be refilled. In 1977, it became the Firwood Cottage where it was modernized as a Tetley house. Closing in 2016, followed an 18 months restoration project. Re-born as the Blind Monkey in May 2018, several original features have been retained, including the Victorian façade and the fireplace in the bar. The wood panelling, cooper and glass finishes, elegant light fittings give a nod to the late 1900s. A warm welcome awaits as well as real ales and much more including ample outside tables and covered heated spaces. Located just a short journey from the city and train links.

I visited this pub and found it to be a fantastic venue. They have a range of ales and craft beers which are kept very well. If you like your beers this is definitely a pub to visit. I also had a pizza while I was there which was very nice. Charlotte the manager is very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable about the beers. Her dog is also very friendly and a nice addition to the relaxed atmosphere of the venue. Would definitely visit again. The pub has something for everyone and is a great place to spend time.

Great atmosphere, cosy nooks and crannies inside with character, and outside a more modern, spacious beer garden. Lovely pub.

The pub itself and the staff are lovely. Nice variety of things to do too. They do tell you you cant share food but nothing on their menus stateing this. Just verbally when you buy food. Should really be putting this in writing if this is a serious issue on menus (especially on Wing Wednesday for the Unlimited option).

I can't recommend this place enough... there was a brilliant atmosphere, the friendliest staff, a wide variety of drink options (especially for the none boozy gals!) & super tasty food. Charlotte let us take over a little cosy nook of the pub to host a baby shower, we decorated and painted pots and had the best evening catching up with friends. The staff were so accommodating and welcoming which made a huge difference to our celebration. My friends that hadn't been before said it was the Sheffield pub they had been searching for as it has everything you could hope for in a cosy pub. Can't wait to come back soon! Thanks so much :)

A hidden gem in Walkley with a fantastic beer garden with plenty of covered areas. Good selection of beers and wine; try some of the German pilsners on draught they are lovely! Inside the decor is fun and inviting; I am yet to discover what is downstairs behind the locked metal doors! Not had any food here before so can’t review the grub, but it ranks in my top 3 pubs in Walkley.
