Went past last night and all lights off. Went past this morning and it was being boarded up with metal sheets

Anyone know anything

[Ousetunes]

Yes, it's quite simple.

It's closed.

[goldenfleece]

never went in there....was it was it like?

[Ousetunes]

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.)

I live in spitting distance of it. Always having lockins....

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]

Very much boardred it up with signs from securiyt company stating that no valuables have been left in his property

[Carborundum]

Shame - another pub bites the dust in Sheffield cos of the Credit crunch - who will be next I wonder ...

almost sounds like it might have been repossessed or something?

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]

Nowt wrong with Punch bowl mate, its a decent boozer and good footie

[RichK]

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]

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....

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]

how lang ago was that?

its a new management company running it now and they seem to be doing a good job
