Andy C Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I suspect it will be more putting a new spin on a local pub - somewhere you can go and watch the football, rugby or whatever and get a decent pint and some munchies whilst you do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clown Shoes Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 You've never been to Champs then? More like TOWIE meets Wetherspoons! Student pub isnt it. Not been there at night since it reopened but good for a afternoon drink. Good place in the summer. Big out doors bit out back & front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccyRdDave Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 The old Champs wasn't too bad, and as someone not from these parts originally I actually did want to see some Premier League football from time to time, but the move to the Pomona didn't work for me. Went in on a bank holiday and the feeling that something was about to go off was tangible at 1.30pm. It was the pungent mix of spray tan and steroids. ---------- Post added 15-05-2013 at 10:04 ---------- I also agree that Hillsborough desperately needs a real ale pub worthy of the city, but I'm afraid it would be lost on the locals.

Andy C Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 A £1.50 fare on the tram will take you from Hillsborough to Shalesmoor or University of Sheffield, both starting points for excellent real ale pub crawls.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I don't think it's unreasonable to want a decent pub in the centre of a large suburb like Hillsborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 given the number of shops closing down in Hillsborough, I wonder if there might be some enterprising individual tempted to convert one into a specialist beer bar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediumfast Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 given the number of shops closing down in Hillsborough, I wonder if there might be some enterprising individual tempted to convert one into a specialist beer bar... I'm sure I remember reading something about a couple of guys opening something up selling real ale somewhere like Middlewood road,but then again I could have dreamt it I suppose:huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
