firecracker Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I walked past the Halcyon, and according to a message in the window, it seems as if the place is closing down after the August Bank Holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Is that the Halcyon Bar on Division Street? I remember a few evenings in there in 1999 / 2000 - I think we were only thrown out once when one of my developers got very drunk and did soem sort of crazy dance. Any reason why they're closing? I'm surprised, to be honest - though I've not been in there for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaks Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 No real loss is it? No doubt it will reopen as something equally bland within a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discodown Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Halcyon used to be an essential part of a decent night out a few years ago but not been in for ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnM Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 No real loss is it? No doubt it will reopen as something equally bland within a few weeks. I must admit it woudlnt be my first choice of drinking venue - but to be fair, the Forum & the Halycon were quite different to everything else in Sheffield when they first opened - it was the other corporate bars that jumped on the same bandwagon.

jake Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 yet they are owned by the same people! er.. yes they are... but they not a corporate chain... although - at a push - you could count two as a chain.. i suppose.. sort of... I can remember being in sheffield for night on the beers with a friend from out of town who worked for big brewery and he was amazed that the two bars were independent...
