Handy for pre/post Theatre drink/food by suvanki
Ruskins has been open for about 2 years. It's location in Tudor square, makes it ideally placed for pre/post theatre drinks or a meal before an early theatre performance. Tudor Square is home to The Lyceum, Crucible and Library theatres.
Catering for the 20+ age group.
Light/airy decor. (minimalist/ Leather/ chrome etc ) Leather seating on top level.
Standing room near bar area, with few areas to park your drinks!
Seating outside too.
toilets up a short flight of stairs (didn't visit these, so not sure of facillities!)
Smoking on the upper level only.
I understand there are live jazz performances selected nights.
The night I visited, taped 'swing/ Rat Pack ' music was playing.
wide selection of drinks- draught beers/lagers plus soft drinks and 'designer mineral waters'
Not sure which beers etc are served ( I was driving) Diet coke and britvic cranberry/ apple/ raspberry juice £3.40!!
The night I visited they stopped serving food @18.15, so I'm not sure of menu/prices etc.Smart casual- the clientele appeared to be theatregoers either post early evening performance or meeting friends prior to the later show.
Also some groups meeting up prior to night out in Sheffield.
