On (or under) West Street, near the original Saddle pub, I think the area is under an apartment block now.

Fantomas Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 My better half told me last night that she's heard that Club Europa (Isabella's as was) is going to reopen as the new home of legendary Sheffield watering hole The Limit. Anybody know if there's any truth in it? I never got to see the original Limit, it closed just about as I came to Sheffield in 1990, and I don't suppose a new place with just the same name can have the same atmosphere but any new alternativey bars and clubs get the thumbs up from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fnkysknky Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 There is truth in it yes - I was looking at the plans the other day with the owner. Opening is planned for November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a legendary indie club.......a real seedy grotty hole.......but a fan-fcukin-tastic night out. Unfortunately it will never be replaced.

Unfortunately it will never be replaced. The people who will go to the new one will never have been to the original so it will probably work.

Tony Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 The bands that used to play the Limit won't be playing ether, and their modern counterparts wouldn't go near the place. It just sounds like another identikit club that's trying to cash on on past glories. This new one won't be anything like the old one. H&S don't like everyone paddling through urine as they go in these days. Paul Young won't turn up at the last minute if the League get drunk and forget, and the Clash ain't going in to smash up their set. Goths won't drink alongside townies and students alongside punks. It's all gone, and a name doesn't bring it back. There's no way it can even be remotely close to the original Limit in a million years, so don't get too excited. The Limit was 20 years ago - we've all moved on, including the club industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
