Guest unners Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Originally posted by E-Man Groovin Must disagree DateExpress. Here's a list of fine (not pretentious) Sheffield bars that would grace any city: 1. The Wig and Pen 2. Trippets 3. Lounge Bar (during the week) 4. The Forum 5. The Priory 6. Menzells I'm sure there are more, but those were the first few that came to mind. So there! I really like the Priory I go alot in there in the daytime for food which is Excellent. The only down side to it is that it is so Smokey in there.Roll on the smoking ban! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Man Groovin Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Originally posted by NatalieSheff number 4? you having a laugh? Sorry Nat. I do understand where you're coming from. I used to love the Forum. It was like an extension to my living room - I was there nearly every night. But I kinda o-d'ed on The Forum and which has been a good thing coz I've discovered a whole world of variety in the city centre scene. So why not do a different bar every night (Starting with Trippets tonight perhaps?...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not against having some of this type of pub, it's fair to have something for everyone. Just seems at the moment that pretty much all of new bars opening are of this ilk, there's no diversity. I also really detest chain bars taking over our city centres and making them lose their individuality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems at the moment that pretty much all of new bars opening are of this ilk, there's no diversity. I also really detest chain bars taking over our city centres and making them lose their individuality. I would have said that most of the new bars are not of that style, they are generally 'style' bars. That said if we are talking about late bars I guess you are right, that is mainly due to the licesing requirement that says they have to have a dance floor, cloakroom and food. The new licening laws coming in should change that. I really agree about chain bars though, it's often the ones with individual style that stand out, and we don't want the identikit High Street syndrome. Some chains are worse than others of course, Wetherspoons, Barracuda and Yates spring to mind as offenders of being the same wherever you go.

Dangerous Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Originally posted by richynomates Always thought it is a bit of a waste to have such a nice building all boarded up, but the planning applications for last week include one for the former Salvation Army Citadel opposite the Peace Gardens. The applicant is a Buffalo Joes, who have a bar in the Newcastle area. Been doing a bit of looking, but no doubt some of Sheffield Forum's members might have been. Is it any good? Is it the sort of thing currently missing in Sheffield city centre? They might not get it, but the application is there... being from newcastle have to say would be great to see sheffield with a buffalo joe's bar bring some life to the city . everytime i been der i have had a laff and its something different something i think this city needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
