Picture House Social is housed
in the former ballroom and billiard
hall of Abbeydale Picture House,
a building that was opened by
the Lord Mayor of Sheffield on
20th December 1920. Today
it’s an independent venue with
music, cocktails, craft beer, Italian
inspired street food, games room
and terrace. LIVE music acts
are housed in the old ballroom,
and previous acts include Pulled
Apart by Horses, Wolf People,
Menace Beach and Cabbage.
Children and under 18s are
welcome in the venue until 9pm,
whereupon it’s adults only. The
main bar area is considerably
larger than most places in the
city centre, with generous sofa
areas and an unapologetic
amount of space for dancing. The
room is all purple, dark wood,
chandeliers and plush upholstery,
which playfully contrasts with the
modern, stripped-back look of the
dining and ping pong rooms. As
well as a carefully selected craft
beer selection, there’s a rotating
cocktail menu which is redesigned
each season. Separate from the
bar is the kitchen and dining area.
Canteen-style and wilfully rough
around the edges, food is served
with a ticketing system. Once they
arrive, the pizzas, meatballs and
other Italian dishes are simple
but freshly made, tasty and very
reasonably priced. Beyond the
diner is the room dedicated to
ping pong for a match with your
mates, or if you fancy something
a bit special, why not hire out the
venue’s 24 seater mini cinema.
