Dead Donkey Bar

You cant help but love this super-friendly, informal bar. Small and delightfully independent, it's warm and inviting inside and the barkeeps know how to mix a really good cocktail. There's a rather good range of ales and lagers on the bar which change regularly, a thoughtfully stocked fridge and some quality, well-chosen wines from Sheffield's Starmore Boss. The unusual little menu of toasted cheese sandwiches is interesting and delicious, plus a cute little tuckshop of bar snacks is available. Clientele are a mixture of local regulars and at weekends, groups of friends doing the Abbeydale Rd 'crawl'. Background music is eclectic, varied and not obtrusive and the low lighting and quirky fittings make for a unique, intimate experience in the evening. Best of all, they look after you like you're a VIP!

Friday early bar and my first visit. I don't want to go home. Think that's an honest assessment of a warm and welcoming place as Autumn literally breezes in. I dare say I shall return. *UPDATE* We have been back a number of times since. A great place for our Abbeydale Road pub crawl!! The Löwenbräu is wonderful.

One of the best pub in the city and over. Delicious sandwiches! Every time different menu always with fresh product! Fabolous selection of beer with a great turn over every week, fantastic cocktails preparation and extremely friendly staff. One of the best environment ever talking about lights and forntures! Huge selection of board games. The dead donkey deserve more than one visit! You'll remain amused!
