Houdi Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Originally posted by pontious Sorry boys and girls but its bars like them that end up destroying top pubs like the 'old' Hallamshire on West St, whoever had the bright idea of turning that place into what it is now *SPITS* needs their bowels removing with a rusty blunt spoon! True words, mate, but not just the Hallamshire - every single pub in West St. It used to be one of the best pub crawls in the city, now it's just cack. Progress? Who needs it?

fnkysknky Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Each to their own - lots of people love the new bars that are opening up everywhere otherwise there wouldn't be much point. Personally I prefer the newer bars at night and a good old pub in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrH Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Wouldn't it be boring if all bars were the same. Each to their own, I say - there is room for all types of bars & pubs: Nice shiny new bars and traditional pubs each have their place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlloyd Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Speaking of modern looking pubs.. Anyone know what is being constructed in the former 'National Centre for Popular Music' building? They've polished the exterior, and built a bar inside the one 'pod' for lack of a better term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the new Hallam Student Union as far as I know. Shame they stopped using it as a nightclub, it was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 I do agree that turning the Hallamshire into the BRB was wholly inappropriate and looks a disgrace. This is a heritage pub building and should not have been allowed. This is not to say I am against bars of that style, as just up the road is Muse, where they have turned a crappy Irish theme pub into a very smart bar with character, and just for the quality finish they even sell real beer.

Tony Ruscoe Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Originally posted by Chalky I wonder if its at Tiger Works down West Street as when I walked past it the other day there were some buiders in there. I think the new bar in Tiger Works is called "Tequila". There's a thread about it here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
