One of the newest additions to Sheffield’s real ale scene, the University Arms at 197 Brook Hill became a pub in January 2007, having previously operated as Club 197, the staff club for the University of Sheffield.

The Sheffield branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has applied to Sheffield City Council for Asset of Community Value (ACV) status to be given to the University Arms pub. If granted, this would mean that the pub cannot be converted or demolished without planning permission, and local residents have six months to make an offer if the pub is put up for sale. A previous application in 2015 was rejected.
Sheffield University, which owns the University Arms, has a 10-year campus masterplan that contains a proposal to demolish the pub, and has opposed the application.
1PM-5PM Saturday 28th August, University Arms, Sheffield (Brook Hill, S3 7HG).
Featuring:
Demolition Dance Crew
Matt Williams - singer
The Flying Souls - band
Debbie Howarth - singer
The Prestige Crew - dancers
And much more...
Bar, barbecue and sunshine - hopefully!

Local members of the Campaign for Real Ale have voted for the University Arms as the winner of their October Pub of the Month award, which will be presented to manager Mike Pidgeon at the pub at a special celebration on Tuesday 14th October, from 8PM. The Pub of the Month award scheme is designed to highlights those pubs and bars in Sheffield and District that serve top quality real ale in pleasant surroundings on a day to day basis. It's voted for by those that drink in the pubs every day to show their appreciation of what's good.

Whatever you do, don't visit the University Arms if you want a drink after 10.35PM on a Saturday night!
Visited here 21/09/2018. Arrived at 8pm and joined some friends. Spent £55-£60 between us and went to the bar to buy more drinks, only to be informed that they were not serving anymore, and this was at 10.32PM.
Following protest from one of our party, who pointed out that on the front doors it advertised open until at least 11pm, the bar staff relented and served us. They then proceeded to turn away 8-10 further customers saying they were closed and yet when a "familiar" face turned up at 10.55pm they served him... which smacks of favouritism or discrimination.
The bar staff were unable/incapable of giving a satisfactory explanation as to why they had "closed the bars", yet served at least 1 more person later.
Whatever you do give this pub a big miss. Beer great, bar staff totally incompetent and idiots!
This pub just is also closed all day on Sunday. Unbelievable in 2018... don't go here!
