Obviously it's horses for courses, but unless you like your boozers really dingy, and to resemble your nan's front room after she's been on a 3 week acid, absinthe and ciggies bender, there's very little on offer. I was in the Sheaf View last week, which is a great pub. Far from poncey, but well-kept, diverse punters, and great beer. Surely a similar set-up would do really well in Pitsmoor?

Would you invest money in a pub in Pitsmoor

If I had money - what a thought! Yeah, why not? There's lots of nice folk with a bit of money to spend who would like somewhere as a bit of a focal point, rather than always going to the Riverside/Gardeners/Fat Cat. After all, Heeley has not always been perceived as the loveliest part of Sheffield (although I like it), and the Sheaf View is packed most nights.

how about Harlequin where the manchester was a very nice drinking house from what I have seen not to far away from pitsmoor

The Rock used to be OK under the previous landlord, haven't been in for a few years though.

I'm quite liking the East House at the moment. It seems the (relatively)new management have a policy of actually being open which certainly helps :)
