Sheffield Pub News - March 2010

We have removed the Golden Keys pub, formerly of Westfield Centre, Westfield, from our database, as it has been closed to make way for a youth club.

We have removed the Wordsworth Tavern, formerly of Wordsworth Avenue, Parson Cross, from our database, as it has now closed permanently.

Andrew O'Brien, new owner of the Sanctuary bar on St. James Street in Sheffield city centre, has experienced first-hand that the place is full of spirits, and not just those in bottles.

After hearing footsteps, a knocking on his bedroom door and seeing what he described as a "brown mist" on the landing, the licensee decided to call in a medium. After investigating the bar Andrew was told that it contains numerous deceased souls but the troublesome ghost if the spirit of one female previous owner refuses to leave.

Revolution Vodka Bar on Fitzwilliam Street in the city centre has been granted permission to permanently extend its opening hours from 11:30PM to 12:30AM, after a successful 12-month trial.

SOYO bar, on Rockingham Street in Sheffield city centre, has been ordered to close at 12:30AM every day after councillors heard complains from local residents about noise. Until recently the bar was permitted to stay open until 1:30AM Thursday to Saturday.

We have removed Nylon bar, formerly of Charter Square in Sheffield city centre from our database, as it has closed down. In its place is Scores lapdancing club.

We have removed the Fountain bar on Leopold Street and replaced it with Bessemer, which opened in late 2009.
