J456 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Having read the sanctimonious posts (Preacher Joh and beegee7 especially) living within this thread I am glad that the Lescar has closed. Comments about how it’s a sad reflection of corporatism within society and what will Cath do now? (70 years old and spending all night in a pub? Surely that’s a sad reflection on society) are all valid points but overlook one glaringly obvious thing. The Lescar was a complete and utter sodding train wreck of a pub. It was the sort of place where you needed to wipe your feet upon exit rather than entry. The only saving grace was the Last Laugh comedy nights otherwise it wouldn’t have received a tenth of the customer foot flow and would have shut down years ago. Every visit was like time travelling to a 1980s public toilet so change was always inevitable especially when, from an outsider’s point of view, it was an intimidating and cliquey place to drink. If the pub was so great and so profitable then even the most callous of capitalists would have left it untouched but they haven’t and that’s because they’re not getting all misty eyed and nostalgic over a pub that no longer fits in with the majority of it’s community (students). Excellent post, hit the nail on the head there! Good riddance to the scum-factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjlacey21 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Did anyone ever see the hedgehog that used to wander around the garden in the Lescar? I hope the new management will give it space. I think he visits our house every night. We always leave him cat food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubylou Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Thought i would start this thread again, seeing as it wil be opening soon, had a look through the windows yesterday and i must say, it looks really nice, the grass part out front is a bit odd i find, but it looks a lot neater.

tomarse Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Curses to all of you who nay say about the lescar! Why does a place have to be covered in shiney things and all signs of use hidden under the carpet before you give it respect? The lescar was a damn fine pub, a real pub!

tomarse Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Fingers crossed that it can compete with its former self. I just feel like some of the variety of sheffield has been taken from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewC Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Had a sneaky look at this yesterday on my way back from Oddbins. Very swish. The grass area is a bit odd, with its solitary tree. But again quite nice. Lescar was never my local ( i go to the cottage) but it was somewhere to go watch the football on a sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastlaugh Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Yep, it looks lovely. Nice and clean and fresh, whilst still looking like a boozer. We're back there with Yorkshire's longest running comedy club On December the 6th. It's been awful having Thursdays off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
