Pubs in Dore, Totley and Bradway (S17)
- The Cross Scythes, Baslow Road, once called Ye Olde Cross Stythes, is housed in one of the oldest buildings in Totley, around 300 years old. It was probably named after the landlord's secondary profession. The pub is exactly six miles away from Sheffield and Baslow and was often referred to as Halfway House and is an extension of an old barn facing the old village green.
- The Crown Inn, Hillfoot Road, Totley. The Crown is the oldest pub in Totley and was converted to a beer house in 1727 when the main road from Sheffield to London ran past outside the establishment. The first reference to the Crown Inn is in 1813 when a Dorothy Dalton ran the pub. She is said to have taken over when her husband, George, a firebrick maker, died in the 1830s. Her eldest son, Thomas took over. In the mid-19th century a new turnpike, Baslow Road, was built which left the Crown out of the area of patronage. The pub benefited shortly afterwards from trade provided by the men building the Totley Tunnel. In between opening times landlords generally had to supplement their income by working as scythe makers or farmers.
- The Fleur de Lys, Totley Hall Lane, is large mock halt-timbered building built in 1933. The new pub replaces the now roofless old pub. Two houses next to the pub were demolished in the 1980s to make place for the new residential estate and pub car park. The old pub was situated near the village where the village's stocks were, hence the former name of Totley Hall Lane, Stocks Green. The name of the pub derives from the iris of the coat of arms of the Barker family, living in Totley Hall.
- The Cricket Inn, Penny Lane, Totley Bents, was originally a farmhouse. It was opened as a pub during the construction of the nearby Totley Tunnel. It is now operated as a Gastropub by BrewKitchen, selling beer from Thornbridge Brewery. Cricket matches take place on a cricket ground at the rear.
- The Devonshire Arms, High Street, was built in the 18th century. It stands on the site of a public water trough. It has been the meeting place of many local societies and was extended following the demand made by the Dore Village Society. The society suggested the brewery opened the rear of the Devonshire Arms as a heritage centre. The brewery, liking the idea, renovated the derelict building and used it as an extension to the pub.
- The Hare & Hounds, Church Street, is an old limestone public house in the village in Dore. The pub is divided into several rooms due to later extensions. The building was neighboured by Sam Thorpe's grocery, corn and provision dealer to the East until the store was destroyed to make place for new shops and the pub's car park.
- The Dore Moor Inn on Hathersage Road, was originally the Devonshire Arms. It is in the Devonshire Arms that the Dore Old School board of trustees hired Richard Furness as master in 1821. The establishment was renamed the Dore Moor Inn between then and 1906. Similarly to the Peacock on Owler Bar, the Dore Moor Inn was a popular Sunday outing venue from Sheffield by 1850s.
- Fox House is a former coachhouse on Hathersage Road. It is named after Mr Fox of Callow Farm in Highlow rather than the small animal. The limestone building was built in 1773 and extended in the 1840s by the landlord of the time, Duke of Rutland.
- The Old Mother Redcap is one of only four Samuel Smith Brewery owned pubs in Sheffield. The others being The Red Grouse, Stocksbridge; The Brown Bear, City Centre and The Cow and Calf, Grenoside3
