tabc Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Anyone any ideas on what is happening with the Red Lion on Chesterfield Road? Seemed to reach a pinnacle of chav land and then mysteriously shut! From one day to the next! Is it re-opening? It's left a void on this end of Chesterfield Rd!

rob_royale Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 It was closed down by the courts as it was being used as a crack den. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddycoffee Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I posted a thread about this a month ago and nobody knew anything. It is worrying that there is no lease board on the place. Probably be apartments in 12 months time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnM Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I used to go in there loads ten years ago when it was a really good pub - then it became a Mr Qs and all went very wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzybmzoo Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Yeah, a few friends and I used to go and play pool there regularly but it was getting to the point where there was a fight every time you went, even in the week. And I always remember the last Euro Cup when we lost to Portugal on penalties - it was like the Wild West with glasses & pool cues flying & some idiot even brought one of the overhead table lights crashing down. A great night out. Get down to t'Sheaf if you fancy a nice, quiet pint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabc Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 It's a strange one - there's often lights on in the bar downstairs. Looks as though the drinks have gone from the bar but other than that- nothing else has changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallBuilder Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I was at the Octagon tonight with some friends who used to drink in the red Lion. Some-one has told them it is going to re-open and the new owner is getting somebody in with a proven ttrack record for runnig a pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
