A popular neighborhood gathering spot for years, the main claim to fame at Sheffield's is the large beer garden, where you can order off an extensive menu of BBQ dishes. The bar boasts a selection of more than 80 beers, including one featured "bad beer" of the month. Sheffield's can get jammed with a young, loud crowd, but the attitude is welcoming -- there always seems to be room to squeeze in one more person.
