View Full Version : Masons Arms, Crookes: now closed? Sharp87 16-01-2009, 15:36 Went past last night and all lights off. Went past this morning and it was being boarded up with metal sheets :( Anyone know anything :mad: Ousetunes 16-01-2009, 15:47 Yes, it's quite simple. It's closed. goldenfleece 16-01-2009, 16:15 never went in there....was it was it like? Ousetunes 16-01-2009, 16:33 Typical local boozer. It was a John Smith's house with a decent pint of Magnet, but hey, I'm going back to a time when I was **this** high. (Puts hand to top of left-leg to illustrate.) LuckyR 16-01-2009, 18:32 I live in spitting distance of it. Always having lockins.... Sharp87 16-01-2009, 18:37 Yes, it's quite simple. It's closed. thanks a lot for that, very useful. it was a nice boozer, friendly landlord, decent pint of moonshine pool table and dart board. i liked it :( bluecanary 17-01-2009, 14:53 What a shame.Was in just before a Christmas. A nice local boozer with a lively karaoke on a friday night (I didn't indulge). goldenfleece 17-01-2009, 17:30 it was a nice boozer, friendly landlord, decent pint of moonshine pool table and dart board. i liked it :( Wonder why it closed then....Usually pubs that meet that description are thriving locals which people support all the way....... perhaps a greedy Pub Co decided to suddenly double the rent at lease review time.....it is not a rare occurrence I regret to say.... LuckyR 17-01-2009, 19:15 Very much boardred it up with signs from securiyt company stating that no valuables have been left in his property Carborundum 17-01-2009, 19:23 Shame - another pub bites the dust in Sheffield cos of the Credit crunch - who will be next I wonder ... Sharp87 17-01-2009, 20:31 Very much boardred it up with signs from securiyt company stating that no valuables have been left in his property almost sounds like it might have been repossessed or something? :( Sharp87 17-01-2009, 20:33 Wonder why it closed then....Usually pubs that meet that description are thriving locals which people support all the way....... perhaps a greedy Pub Co decided to suddenly double the rent at lease review time.....it is not a rare occurrence I regret to say.... i must admit it was never busy when i went in which is a shame as there is no reason why it shouldn't be. better than the lager barn up the road (punch bowl), decent banter with the locals and £2.50 moonshine was more than fair. clawfingers 18-01-2009, 13:16 Nowt wrong with Punch bowl mate, its a decent boozer and good footie RichK 26-01-2009, 23:12 It was a good boozer. One of those old fashioned places that felt rough without being scary. I used to go regularly and was shocked when I drove past on friday night and saw the security signs up. clawfingers 28-01-2009, 23:45 nah it were full of pikies pal scottf 29-01-2009, 11:57 nah it were full of pikies pal so whats going to become your local now then? ;) goldenfleece 29-01-2009, 12:36 so whats going to become your local now then? ;) I believe said person expressed a fondness for the Punch Bowl in a previous post? I can honestly say I have NEVER been there so I cannot comment on it.... eric_the_man 13-09-2009, 09:34 this pub has been re-open for sometime now and the couple running it are trying their best to revive the old atmosphere there, thying many different theme nights monthly very friendly place to come and thankfully there is no sign of trouble or drugs (which makes a nice change nowadays) disco and karaoke friday 25th september starts at 8 till close all students welcome disco and karaoke saturday 26th september fancy dress (cowboys n indians theme) but anything goes prizes for best dressed[/color] starts at 8 till close everyone welcome drinks offers come and join the fun let us know who's coming and what you will be wearing on saturday hope to see you there Sharp87 13-09-2009, 10:21 i went in just after it reopened. is it the same landlord who was drinking himself in between occasionally pulling a pint and going outside for a smoke? no ales. eric_the_man 13-09-2009, 10:42 how lang ago was that? its a new management company running it now and they seem to be doing a good job Sharp87 13-09-2009, 11:47 how lang ago was that? its a new management company running it now and they seem to be doing a good job about a week after it reopened. relatively large chap. pub was dead.
