A fresh and addition to Sheffield's vibrant bar scene, Pad 12, has just opened its doors in the trendy Neepsend area, not far from Kelham Island. This new wine and gin bar is the latest venture from Enver and Kirstie Taskin, the couple behind the celebrated Enver's Turkish Grill, recently crowned Britain's top takeaway in the BBC show Britain's Top Takeaways. This time, the Taskins have teamed up with friends and fellow entrepreneurs Dan and Laura Hall to bring Pad 12 to life at Merchants Court on Mowbray Street.
Pad 12 promises a unique experience for wine and gin enthusiasts, with a thoughtfully curated selection of spirits, wines, and beers. According to Dan Hall, the bar's drink menu will feature an array of gins, vodkas, rums, and whiskies, with an emphasis on locally distilled spirits whenever possible. To complement the drinks, the bar will also serve a small food menu featuring cured meats and a limited daily offering of chicken wings, allowing guests to pair their drinks with flavourful bites.
Housed in one of Merchants Court's historic buildings, Pad 12 brings a touch of both heritage and modern style to the area. The name "Pad 12" was inspired by an inscription found on one of the building’s old bricks, a nod to the site's past as a fabrication and welding workshop. The venue's design respects this industrial heritage, showcasing exposed brick, steelwork, and timberwork, balanced with a sleek modern stone bar finished with striking red tiling.
The aim, according to Dan, is to create a "comfy, relaxed, chilled-out kind of atmosphere" where guests can unwind. With both indoor and outdoor seating, Pad 12 offers the flexibility to host intimate gatherings inside as well as enjoy the open-air courtyard. Plans are already underway for future summer events, including outdoor cinema nights and live music.
Located within Merchants Court, Pad 12 is part of an exciting collective of local businesses. The courtyard already hosts a beauty salon, a jeweller, and a mead brewery, with more businesses on the way, including a yoga and pilates studio with health-focused juices and shakes, a deli serving sandwiches and coffee, and a pizzeria. This blend of offerings is set to make Merchants Court a vibrant hub in Neepsend's evolving social scene.
Dan and Laura Hall, who own Steel and Stones Tattoo Studio in Handsworth, built a close relationship with Enver and Kirstie after frequent visits to Enver’s Turkish Grill. Their shared vision for a bar led to a partnership, turning a longtime dream into a reality. After searching for the perfect location, they found Merchants Court in early 2023 and set their plans into motion.
Pad 12 will be open Thursday to Sunday, with hours extending to 11:30pm on Thursdays, midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, and 11pm on Sundays. For those looking for a unique event space, the bar will also be available for private hire.
