Northern Quarter pub, Crown and Kettle, has finally reopened for business following a beautiful refurbishment.<\/p>\n

The pub has stood on the site since 1734 and the refurb has retained many of the features of the original building; notably the ceiling from 1800s. The tables, too, are the same as before, they’ve just had a good polish.<\/p>\n

It’s a wonderful mesh of the old and the new, traditional and contemporary, rough and polished; with freshly painted navy blue walls contrasting against exposed brick and wood panels.<\/p>\n

The ceiling itself is an impressive spectacle, with large stone columns, which used to hold chandeliers, reaching down from intricately detailed ceiling roses.<\/p>\n

Long traditional windows in the bar area stretch up towards the high ceiling, letting in tons of natural light, reflecting against shiny gold beer pumps and brass lamps. A wood burning fire and the dark walls makes for a very cosy seating area.<\/p>\n

Crown and Kettle is now completely independent and is under the management of Alex Daw, who is behind arts venue Sidney & Matilda in Sheffield.<\/p>\n

The free house has a rotating selection of 20 independent keg lines and six keg beers, with a focus on supporting regional and national indie brewers.<\/p>\n
