Further Information

 Dam House occupies a particularly scenic location within Crookes Valley Park. It overlooks a small boating lake and sits atop the dam after which it is named. Crookes Valley Park can be reached off Crookes Valley Road or Oxford Street (not far from the busy Netherthorpe Road), and you’ll reach Dam House either by a short walk around the boating lake or down one of the lanes that run along the back of the park – it’s perched, quite literally, above the dam, so its is pretty hard to miss.
The restaurant has something of the feel of a large, open summer house – a large bar occupies one wall, looking out across the park and over the lake through several sets of patio windows. Off to one side, low tables and comfortable chairs occupy an area primarily intended for drinkers; at the other side, pleasantly secluded by wooden screening, you’ll find the restaurant area proper.
