Yorkie Grey (****e old pub, ok for a swift half)
Millionaires (pity everyone there were skint)
Bee Hive on West Street
The Hallamshire on West Street
The Abbey
...actually when I think of it, sheff was ****e back then...has it got better?

Not sure about most of them apart from Berlins and Yorkshire Grey

Berlins - Closed down then became 'Purple', then closed down again and has now since become 'Fuel' the gay club which is quite popular

Yorkshire Grey - Has been knocked down recently.

Not sure about the rest. I do miss Berlins though :(

PT

oh man! I'm in ****y essex now....my old Berlins days will never return!! Tuesdays were great, quid a bottle, womene etc etc....sad to hear that all the other places are no more...bet my old bank is a trendy wine bar! has sheffield been taken over by wonky haired, tanned mummy's boyz who go to poncy bars like most other cities?

BTW thanks to all for the feedback:thumbsup:

The Abbey bowling club are still missing you 8)

isnt millionaires now orchis?
do you mean the club on carver street at the west street end of the road?

the hallamshire, was that the one on the corner of west street and rockingham street? i always get confused on this one- its either brb or west street live- apparently (not proven by me) brb do a mean pizza, but the blues night (as proven by me) at west street live is pretty good.

as for the beehive- i think that became the something and firkin- but is now s1. the beehive is a bit before my arrival in sheffield (1997), but im sure thats what the folks at work have told me before.

mind you- that completely different to what PT has just said, and im a bit drunk- so shes probably more right than i am! lol

hope that helps,

ps. no fond memorys of berlins- went once, stopped for one drink coz it was free and got out asap- was nasty.

This is a little trip down memory lane. :)

The Hallamshire was further down; the one on the corner of Rockingham Street was originally called the West Street, before it became an 80s bar.

The first new trendy bar/pub to open was The Saddle (now called the Bedroom?), next to the Co-op Bank on West Street - in around 1994. Things changed a lot over the next ten years.

Millionaires is now Flares :) I remember Millionaire's well :hihi:

I thought the Hallamshire Hotel was now BRB as I thought thats what it said above the door :confused: Either way, as Sophie said, the Pizza's are yummy :D

Quite the opposite.

Don't think many of those places will be missed.

I liked the beehive when it was the beehive a proper pub!

I also recall many a fun night in the Mailcoach which for some god awful reason has now been ruined and called no 10 or something like that. And the Hornblower. Now all the city centre pubs are like warehouses or barns, hideous!

Yeah, I agree. The Hallamshire was the best on West Street with it's sticky carpets, peeling wallpaper and different rooms and snugs. And.. it had a venue upstairs for live music. Now it's all knocked through into one huge soulless gin palace. The Hornblower was also great.

aaaah the Hornblower, forgot that place...Sheff seems like it's gone all "nobsville" regarding its pubs...I hope the Crown on Harleston street in pitsmoor is still open?!!!:)
