BDP100 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 apparently some trendy types from Lahndahn (the proprierters of the lock tavern in camden) heard the arctic monkeys album and were shocked to realise that indie bands didn't just come from camden and shorditch. they read in the n.m.e. that sheffo was THE in place to be and therefore decided to invest in a new bar here (the significantly cheaper property/ rents here probably also helped). to be fair it should be a pretty cool boozer, better than most of the chav house bars in town, we'll have to wait and see... If that's the case, bring it on! Another good reason to live in Sheffield! Lived in Lahndahn for a while, and 'The Lock' and 'Keston Lodge' (another pub they owned) were wicked places to hang out and listen to some decent music. They tend to attract the kool indie kids/art students (!). A bit like The Grapes meets Muse... (the pubs not the bands) Just need Vibe magazine who own 'Old Blue Last' down Old St in Lahndahn to buy a pub up here - which is more of a dirty boozer kinda place. Though The Cremorne is doing a pretty good job so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattski Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I think they also own the Defector's Weld in Shepherd's Bush and by doing so thankfully rescued what was a crappy Edwards and turned it in to one of the best boozers in West london. only drawback is its proximity to the BBC and the tw@ people that infest the area.

LOL - they rescued an Edwards in Sheppards Bush and now a Bar code in Sheffield....anyone else think this company could be an off-shoot of Micthell's and Butlers?

Bilge Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 The Defector's Weld was the one I was thinking of - so it should be a good addition. Cask ale too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuffty Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 What have Chavs and house music got to do with each other? i'm a fan of quality house and dance music. chav house is just a term me and my mates tend to use for the mass produced 4 on the floor ****e that can mostly be heard blaring out of your local yate's and edward's style chain pubs of a weekend. (also known as scouse house by some... the cheesier stuff played at the now defunct cream). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
