goldenfleece Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Going out in Walkley/Commonside tonight......been a long time, about 11 years actually. What is any good these days? Used to hang out in the Hadfield (old Hadfield), Beer Engine, and sometimes Closed Shop. I wonder if they are unchanged...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousetunes Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I work in this region and would safely say that the Hadfield is by far the best pub of the lot. It is the one pub I go to after work. It's clean, bright, always lively, has three pool tables, excellent cheap food, decent beer and Sky Sports on large screens. The Springvale is cold by comparison - it just feels dull and boring and I've not had a decent pint in there in ages. I used to like the Hallamshire years ago (when it served a decent pint of [original] Wards) but like the Springvale, I get the impression they don't like turning the heating on. The Closed Shop is 'okay' although it's the pub I'm least likely to go into. Further up, the Cobden View is very good serving excellent ales. But The Hadfield wins hands down for me. (It's also a two minute walk from my business premises.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modculture Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Is that odd-looking French eaterie still there? And that tailors that looks like Mr Benn's fancy dress shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaks Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Last I knew it hadn't? Thought it was a nitro keg student's pub. I may be wrong of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I lost my wallet in the Hadfield last year Asked at the bar about it, all I got was the Landlord bleating about how there is NO crime in his pub so it could not have been stolen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Erm... you lost it, so that makes the pub full of thieves? No, all I did was ask at the bar to see if it had been handed in And all I got was some jobsworth Landlord bleating about how it couldn't possibly have been pinched because crime does NOT happen in HIS pub.,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaks Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 crime does NOT happen in HIS pub He serves Carling, that's criminal enough in my eyes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exhausted Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 No, all I did was ask at the bar to see if it had been handed in And all I got was some jobsworth Landlord bleating about how it couldn't possibly have been pinched because crime does NOT happen in HIS pub.,, I have worked at this pub and I think you may have got muddled by what was said. We used to have loads of purses,bags,phones wallets etc handed in every week that it would be unusual for something to be stolen. But then if your stupid enough to leave your phone lying around you deserve to lose it. Its your responsibility to look after your own property not the pubs.
