Closed Shop Public House
We have 8 handpulls, 4 real ciders and a kitchen producing some proper pub food. A real pub with a range of amenities, including a beer garden, pool table, jukebox and traditional pub games, there is something for everyone here.
The pub's unusual name have two possible origins. The first suggestion is that it was a swipe at licensing laws that led to the pub being forced to close when an oversight led to the licence not being renewed on time. The second suggestion is that a 19th century shop on the premises was closed to make way for the pub.

A popular Sheffield pub is set to reopen its doors again four months after closing.
The Closed Shop, located on Commonside, shut in January 2026 due to what were described as "ongoing financial pressures." The closure followed an announcement made on social media at the time.
It has now been confirmed that the venue will return to business in the coming weeks, with a new landlord expected to take over the site.
A spokesman for the pub company Star Pubs, which owns the building, confirmed the reopening plans. They said: "We're pleased to confirm The Closed Shop pub on Commonside in Sheffield will be reopening next month and we look forward to welcoming back customers.
"The Closed Shop is a strong community pub offering a selection of popular beers, ciders, wines, spirits and cocktails as well as cask ales."
The pub had been run by manager Sophie Bailey for more than two years before it closed earlier this year. Speaking at the time of the closure, she said: "We've had a wonderful time over these last few years but due to ongoing financial pressures we have made the decision to cease operations."
Ms Bailey had taken over management of the pub in September 2023, following a three-month period during which the venue had already been closed.

Went last Thursday, quiz night. Had a cracking evening. The quiz was as good as it gets, really original, witty and involving the quizzers.
They've now got 6 superb real ales on, tried the Timmy Taylor's (gorgeous) and the Jaipur (smooth as silk).
Best thing is the friendly atmosphere, everyone with smiles on their faces.
Shall definitely make it there on a regular basis.
