Set within the atmospheric Victoria Quays development, Tavern on The Quays brings a lively, modern take on the classic public house to one of Sheffield’s most characterful waterside spots. Located under the arches on Furnival Road, the restaurant sits right beside the canal basin, offering scenic views and an easy stroll from the city centre, Kelham Island and Sheffield Station. It’s a vibrant corner of the city where converted warehouses, moored boats and creative businesses create a relaxed, urban-meets-historic feel.
The venue is part of the Tavern Collective, a Canadian-owned group known for its playful atmosphere and globally inspired comfort food. Inside, the décor blends steampunk touches with warm lighting, upbeat music and a sociable layout designed for groups, families and after-work gatherings. It’s a place that leans into fun - think happy hours, games, nostalgic throwback vibes and a welcoming, easy-going energy.
The menu is packed with international comfort dishes, all prepared fresh on site. Highlights include Tavern-spiced fried calamari, crispy chicken noodles with hoisin and sweet chilli, bao buns, hand-breaded chicken tenders, hearty salads and a full line-up of burgers served on brioche with seasoned fries. A standout feature is the brand’s Detroit deep-dish pizzas, designed for sharing, alongside the Canadian classic poutine, made with fries, cheese curds and rich gravy. Drinks range from craft cocktails - some inspired by Sheffield’s musical heritage - to wines, beers and soft drinks.
With its canalside setting, upbeat atmosphere and crowd-pleasing menu, Tavern on The Quays offers a fresh, contemporary dining experience in one of Sheffield’s most distinctive neighbourhoods. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual lunch, a fun night out or a relaxed weekend meal, it’s a spot that brings people together with good food, good music and plenty of personality.
