Sheffield bar, Alder, has today been named best local pub in Sheffield by customers in an online competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Neepsend bar has won the Battle of the Boozers competition<\/a>, which pitted pubs against one another in a head-to-head contest, on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danny Tennant, general manager of Alder<\/a>, credited their win to the strong local community the bar has built in the 12 months they have been open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cWe\u2019ve had more people share the story to vote for us, saying vote for Alder, than anyone else has [in Battle of the Boozers] before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPub landlords are historically pillars of the community and we really try to push that. We remember people\u2019s names, try and get them to come back and have a friendly atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe work really hard to be known and not be this faceless venue, I think that plays a big part.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alder won the final round against the Rutland Arms<\/a> in Sheffield’s city centre with 1011 votes, 181 more votes than their opponent received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked how he thought the win would benefit the bar, Mr Tennant said: \u201cA lot of the weekend trade here is people walking past and looking in but now we\u2019ve had a wider outreach perhaps people will come down specifically rather than just in passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople who had never heard of us before are now thinking okay there must be something to this place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battle of the Boozers was organised by Pints of Sheffield<\/a>, an account dedicated to sharing some of the best places to get a drink around the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Rugg, the person behind the Instagram account, said: \u201cIt\u2019s about getting some free exposure out for these venues, especially small venues that no one’s really heard of yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s shined a light on the venue\u2019s personality and the personality of the people who run it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The competition ran for the first time in 2021 which saw The Bear, on Abbeydale Road, voted as the people\u2019s favourite after only being open for three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Beety, the owner of The Bear<\/a>, said: \u201cIt had a good positive effect and we have a handful of stories where people who would have probably never seen us have come in because of the little bit of extra exposure and coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor a really small place like mine having an extra four people in on a night is great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost of living crisis has hit small pubs and bars especially hard as the price of opening is higher and fewer customers are coming in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pub statistics<\/a> show between 2010 and 2020 the number of pubs has decreased by 22% and a recent study from Altus group shows that approximately 50 pubs are closing every month in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Beety said: \u201cThe fact that there are places closing every hour in the country at the minute, anything like this that encourages people to get up and go to a pub, it\u2019s brilliant and we really appreciate it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
