The Frog and Parrot used to sell it's strongest brew (Roger's Rocket Fuel, I think) in 1/3 pint glasses. It once held world record for strongest, regularly produced beer.
First pub to recommend in Sheffield is the Fat Cat, in old industrial area close to centre of town, but *not* a town pub. Old Victorian pub with small rooms (1 non-smoking), open fires in winter, daytime food, beer garden and pretty tortoiseshell cat. Serve own award winning beers, plenty of guest beers, scrumpy and guest ciders and more fruit wines than you ever thought existed. As well as most usual pub suspects in way of drink and snacks.
No jukebox, pool table etc. Just a bloody nice place to have a decently priced, excellent drink and chat with your mates.
Newer offshoot is the Devonshire Cat, just outside city centre in other direction. Similar range of drinks (but pricier). Good, all day food. Open plan with large tables ideal for playing Great Dalmuti or other card games.
