Published By Armarni Turton

With almost 61% of Brits admitting to overindulging on alcohol over the festive season, it's no surprise that Dry January has grown in popularity over the years.

However, Dry January need not harm your relationship with the pub; many of Sheffield City Centre's best bars offer non-alcoholic beverages to quench your thirst. 

Here's five of our favourites:

The Botanist
