The venue has a lovely accessible Disabled WC with plenty of room for a wheelchair user to turn around inside plus a varied menue at reasonable prices. There is also an option to purchase a Vcard which entitles you to 20 per cent off your meal
Getting there
The Varsity bar is located near the Sheffield University campus on West St, which is now “even more vibrant and cosmopolitan, with a thriving restaurant and bar scene”. It is on the south side of the street, near the western end, between the turnings into Portland Lane and Mappin Street on the north side, and between Fitzwilliam Street and Eldon Street on the south side of West Street.
If anyone needs assistance, Chris can be contacted on 01226 370081 (home) or 07717 471861 (mobile).
