clogginchris Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 The Sunday quiz moved to Fagans when the Red Deer closed and as far as I know it's still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1664 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Are these new tenants or is it another of Punch's revolving door management companies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 The problem is it's a bit of an old man's pub, old man meaning anyone over 23 in the West Street area. Are there enough people living locally to use it regularly? I always considered it a place for Uni staff and the more discerning students. I've also met plenty of forummers there as it's central and easy to get to but away from the madness of West St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilcaff Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 This is good news! The pub is great, though the dog smell got a bit much sometimes. As long as the guest ales keep coming, and the fires are stoked for winter it's welcome news. I wouldn't really class it as an old man's pub, just not a trendy bar. Sheffield desperately needs good old fashioned boozers around the centre, we made a mistake of losing loads over the years when the fashion was wine bars and the such. Other cities have kept theirs and they are still a big pull. There's apparently a growing upward trend for real ale at the moment and I welcome it! I visit both types and think it's sad if we let the character pubs die down. If there's a way to keep interest up and keep people going to the 'locals in town' then we should encourage it.

joolsd Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I went in today, to check that a function room booking I'd made pre-closure was still ok. They have the functions booking book, and are honouring the bookings. The phone number on the website [(0114) 2722890] doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyFlags Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I didn't even realise it shut! I'm glad they're keeping the quiz going on Sunday. It's the best in town. Perfect for a Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest makapaka Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 It was closed when I went past after work today (bout 5) - does it just not open in day now or has it closed again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cervus Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 For anyone interested in the Sunday night quiz, it's moved to Fagan's. Same setters, same prizes, and free food! Sundays from 9-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
