Bargepole23 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Looks like a new bar is being fitted out at Banner Cross, by the name of "Holt". Nice area for a night of boozing now with Itchy Pig, Dark Horse and Banner Cross pub, and hopefully this new place opening soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its more than £2.50 for a pint though, expect people on here to be up in arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I recall when there were no pubs on Ecclesall Road between the Nursery Tavern and the Banner Cross Hotel, I wager that there are not that many actual pubs today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One "pub", Porter Brook. Many great micropubs and bars. 16 hours ago, Alextopman said: What about the Pamona?. Is nearer town than the Nursery, and is spelt Pomona. 17 hours ago, HeHasRisen said: If its more than £2.50 for a pint though, expect people on here to be up in arms. Aye. I paid 5 pound odd on a number of visits to the bar in the Dark Horse for lagers last week. Don't really get the tightness over the price of a pint, especially when its a maybe a quid or so difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was another pub on Eccy Rd closer to town, the long gone Devonshire Arms, just bellow and on the same side as the Nursery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - wasn’t there one called the Earl Grey on the opposite side to that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, drank in there on occasion in the late 80's. It was quite a way down from the Nursery, not far with a few pints inside you though 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
