jimmy Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I see the Damhouse bar/restaurant in Crookes Valley Park opens today. Has anyone been down there yet? Was wondering what type of punter they are aiming at. i.e. is it a student boozer or a high class restaurant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi Jimmy......yeah I went last Friday. They have thrown plenty of money at it...........& it's been well spent I'd say. If you remember how Hanrahan's used to be ?? It's a bit along those lines in terms of look and feel. I understand too the the menu will be similar to Hanrahan's............steaks, fish, pasta etc..... Restaurant looks very nice too.........and it's a great setting as I'm sure you know. Staff are very good & pleasant. Hope it works.......we could do with another quality place in Sheff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanga Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I didn't think it opened officially until tomorrow? I went in last week for a nosey and thought it looked really smart. I'm looking forward to being able to stroll through the park from work and go for lunch - much better view than sitting at my desk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainSleep Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 is this a restaurant or a bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanga Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Both I think - the restaurant part is on the far right as you go in, and the rest of it is a bar/seating area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenback Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Just wondered if it's common knowledge about the involvement of an ex-footballer in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypnoReiki Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 hiya, I went in on Monday night (technically the first day open but the restaurant was tuesday) and i thought the owner and builder were very nice. i'm a student so i brought a few of my friends in later that night and it was very pleasant. i think the hot drinks are a little expensive (1.75 for a cappucino/coffee etc.) and small for the price but the cold drinks are generally reasonable for the location and decor. I think generally the meals were again a little expensive but that all depends on how it tastes doesn't it? they were priced between 5.50 at the cheapest starter (although all very appetising) up to around 16 pounds for chicken/steak. looks fantastic though, and has a laid back, sophisticated feel to it. The armchairs and tables are leather with nice works of art on the walls - it's the type of place you'd hire for a meal for the family to think you've got great taste. Tori.

Coffee Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Yeah Greenback............it's fairly common knowledge. Been in Westside, Grapevine & things like that. He's a mate and he is a proper good lad. Takes a bit of stick.........but guess thats how it is. The two other guys who are involved are top lads too. Hard working Sheffield lads..........I really hope it works for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumbleweed Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Does anyone know the phone number of this place or anyone involved with it? I'm interested in working there. Ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenfleece Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Is this that burnt out place that has been there for years and years? Have they replaced the roof and refurbed it? It was totally burnt out I remember in the 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
