The Old Shoe, a bold and unconventional bar tucked away in Orchard Square, has officially been crowned Sheffield CAMRA's Cider Pub of the Year 2025. Opened in 2023, the pub has quickly made its mark by pairing a fearless drinks menu with a welcoming, knowledgeable team - earning high praise for its unique approach.
Founded by Matt Beety, owner of The Bear on Abbeydale Road, and Mike Pomranz, formerly of The Cider Hole in Kelham, The Old Shoe set out to combine "accessibility with bravery." That vision has clearly paid off.
The bar specialises in its own brewed ciders and an ever-changing list of rare cask and keg beers. But it doesn't stop there - its shelves are lined with artisan ciders, natural wines from lesser-known regions, and fruit wines made with unexpected ingredients. For those who prefer to take their drinks home, four fridges are stocked with a wide array of bottles and cans ready for takeaway.
CAMRA judges highlighted the bar's diverse cider offering but also noted its broader appeal, including locally-roasted coffee, a solid selection of non-alcoholic drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere soundtracked by vinyl records. A monthly comedy night adds further character to the space.
The Old Shoe is still evolving. The team has plans to expand into the building's upper floor, with a new bar concept intriguingly named "Not Open Dont Come". A licensing application has been submitted to Sheffield City Council for late-night opening hours, and a planning request outlines the conversion of the former Schuh staff room into a vibrant new space with one full-time and six part-time employees.
For now, though, The Old Shoe is celebrating its recognition as Sheffield's top cider pub - a win for fans of quality, curiosity, and craft.
We have added a new listing for The Old Shoe in Orchard Square. The Old Shoe is a city centre craft beer taproom, modern ciderhouse, and artisan wine bar.
