Merry_Legs Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I can't believe it. The brewery which owns The Lescar will be closing it down in a couple of months to 'upgrade' it into some sort of wine bar/eaterie. The staff will have to re-apply for their old jobs Don't we have enough chuffin' wine bars round here? What about local pubs for local people?

sTaGeWaLkEr Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 We went for the first time to their comedy night a few weeks ago. The place was full of atmosphere. If it aint broke, why fix it? Does this mean the end to the comedy nights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3313 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 there's a petition to keep duncan in his job i believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merry_Legs Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 It's a shame. He reckons there's nothing they can do about it and they've got another meeting in a couple of weeks. There are a couple of groups relating to this on Facebook with 500+ members, with various petitions going round. I reckon the brewery think it's a profitable area full stop. Looks like they haven't researched the demographic of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satman2222 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Ooooh - will they will be serving Paninis like they do at the Wagon ( Scandals ) at Chapeltown? - Why they need to sell childrens stickers and collecting books with the beer i'll never know.........

iamthemoon Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 rubbish!!! i like the lescar, and the comedy nights, and the smelly carpet , and the nicotine stained wallpaper.... sheffield is in dire need of some old style pubs and being the home of several BRILLIANT brewries we should try to keep them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RozeePozee Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Well, I'd prefer if it stayed the Lescar, why I'd chose to go there instead of Nonnas, but look how busy Nonnas is - unfortunately, the new look "Lescar" will probably do really well ....
