Bilge Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 the beer's on the pricey side (something like £2.40 for Deuchars, which is only a 3.8% beer). Deuchars seems to be over 2 quid everywhere you go though - which always seems steep. It's nice but is it THAT nice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Its a grade 2 listed building so hopefully it should be o.k. but knowing this Council nothing is sacred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you get this information? I looked on the councils list of listed buildings and couldn't find it - http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/EasySite/lib/serveDocument.asp?doc=73668&pgid=91711 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alemonster Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I have to agree with some other posters that the Rutland has been in decline for a while now. The last time I went in a few months ago, I thought the landlord, perhaps for genuine reasons doesn't seem bothered anymore, the beer was too warm, and there was a miserable Scottish barman that was obviously keen to get rid of everyone ASAP after 11pm. I really hope that someone can take it on and get it back to how it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest_225 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Pevsner Architectural Guide to Sheffield (2004) says - "Brown Street now turns NW with the Rutland Arms 0f 1936. Probably the best surviving example of duncan Gilmour's house style of applied faience decoration with bold lettering." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdyamos Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 This is very very sad. A number of years ago The Rutland was my 'local' and I went in there almost daily with my co-workers. I spent many blissful summer hours in the garden with the amazing wall full of roses. So many memories. I went in again a few months ago and was distressed at how run down and dirty it was. I had a similar shock when I went in the Brown Bear, incidentally. We're losing the last pubs of character in the city centre. I'm not 'in' the Cultural Industries Quarter now. Does anyone know what the feeling is along that street? Do the media and creatives go somewhere else now? Aren't there any enterprising souls in that community who could club together and run it collectively? I have neither dosh nor business brawn, but I feel really strong sentiments about this!

Carborundum Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 What a shame its closing - such a lovely old pub with character - will they be auctioning off the curiosities in the main lounge ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
