Stainboy Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Does anyone know if the Springvale has closed for good? I know it has a To Let sign outside but it still has it's chalkboard writing up. I'm going to be moving nearby and it'd be a shame if it was left empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I lived up there I preferred the Hallamshire and the Closed Shop. Despite moving to town, I still go in Closed Shop on poker nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainboy Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Where are those then? I'm only familiar with walking down from Walkley along those main roads. How about the Hadfield? That's the next nearest though it had a very loud woman sitting outside it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the next nearest though it had a very loud woman sitting outside it today. Both on the same road SB, further up Commonside past PA jewellery(sp). Hallamshire is traditional style old type pub. Nice in there and full size snooker table Closed Shop is more modern and a bit studenty. Good staff and good booze. The Hadfield is awful (IMO). Last time I went in there, a bloke followed my OH into the bogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainboy Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Ah yeah, never been that far down Commonside, when it splits off into Barber Road it seems like a different street entirely. My friend is helping me move tomorrow, she wants to go out after (I reckon I'll be too knackered) and it might be better to investigate some locals instead of going out, out.

warriormonk Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) GOOD NEWS The Old Heavygate Inn will re-open. YAY. Any update on the Heavygate anyone? It reopened and then closed again. Edited July 7, 2009 by warriormonk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br8inend Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Pubs are closing because we can't afford to go and we can't smoke .! Which all means people can't get together and discuss the real issues... I beleave that smoking and drinking should not be taxed at all. We only live once and to have our basic traditions and pleasures took away is quite simply , disgusting. Going to the pub these days is a luxury fewer and fewer can afford. My god it Realy p****s me off. A penny a pint is all beer costs to produce. And every pub should be full with locals all discussing the issues . But it seems that the shower in charge knows best! We need a revolution , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a revolution , WELL SAID:clap: I am not sure if promoting a revolution is allowed on the forum, but the sooner someone tries to save the rest of the UK pub stock from vanishing like snowballs on a Greek beach, THE BETTER!! 4 pubs close every day at the moment, its massively accelerated from this time last year and too many will never ever open their doors again.... It defies all logic however, that in the small town I come from, Whitstable on the Kent Coast, all 17 pubs in this town have remained OPEN throughout the wave of closures of the last 3 years, against all the National trends. It seems some areas have escaped any casualties whatsoever, even though 17 pubs all within walking distance of each other and allstaying open is really against all conceivable odds!!!!! Even more against the odds is that all of them are run down, not been decorated since 1975 at least, 2 of which still have vinyl jukeboxes, and are proper 'old skool' pubs, with dartboard, etc from a bygone age....the only pub to close in last 10 years is one that was converted from a a classic old boozer into a trendy wine bar that may have looked OK on West Street in Sheffield, but it lasted 3 months there....thank God they learned their lesson and left the other classic pubs alone!!! . that tells me the future is in classic traditional pubs with a run down and lived in feel to them.....
