Tyranna Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Thanks for merging the threads; I was wondering where my new thread on the subject had gone! It was indeed a surprise to hear that the Lion's Lair had shut so suddenly on new year's day, as I had been hearing only last night about such and such staff at Affinity/Lion's Lair, and how they are doing, and that some of them were 'working at Lion's Lair and others at Affinity' As I mentioned before, I'm not surprised that the Lion had to shut eventually, but it was definitely a quality venue -at least Affinity is similarly good-quality. i suppose I can be excused for my ignorance on the Lion shutting, as I had been abroad doing drag cabaret and TV shows for the last two weeks...

I used to like the fact that no matter how drunk you were, you wouldn't fall down because your shoes were stuck to the carpet. Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran it then and it was kept clean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyranna Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Not in the last 9 months of its life though. I ran it then and it was kept clean! Well said; Did you mean you ran it for the last 9 months of it under the Lions Lair name, or the Yorkshireman? Perhaps we could hold a mock funeral in Sheffield Cemetery, for what I always thought was a great bar! Admin, could you change the name of the thread to something more appropriate than 'New Gay Bar ...Lions Lair', as it is unlikely to open if it is being knocked down. Just renaming the thread 'Lion's Lair' will do fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Rock Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I ran it in the last 9 months when it was the Yorkshireman. It was a sad day for us rockers when the brewery took it back and refurbed it into a wine bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
