The Tap & Barrell was situated at 42 Waingate. This pub opened in the 1790s as  The Bull & Mouth, later renamed The Tap & Spile", before The Tap and Barrel. It closed on the 4th July 2023, possibly as result of the demolition of Castle Market and ongoing archaeological and development work.

In June 2026 Sheffield Community Media, the city's community radio and TV operation, purchased the derelict pub, with the support of social investment lender, The Key Fund, to turn it into a live arts and community media centre. They are now seeking further funds from a community shares issue to refurbish the bar and performance spaces. The property is situated at the corner of Waingate and Castlegate and is referred to by either address.
