Sheffield and Liverpool

God, I’d love to be back in Sheffield.

Did notice The Lion Tavern had closed when I was in Liverpool

I’m off to Sheffield shortly after York Beer Festival, probably Wed 21st Sept though not fixed. Staying in Castleton so will be coming in by Bus, could be a long trip back!

Yes that was shut when we were there, I was told for refurbishment / new Landlord so I haven’t shut it down on here. I cannot imagine that they would permanently shut that one, but you never know with these pub co’s.

I hope they’re not refurbishing it too much. Seemed spick & span and in decent original shape last time I was there a couple of years ago. There’s not really a lot you could do to it without destroying its character. Unfortunately, "closed for refurbishment" sometimes really means closed for good. Looks like it’s owned by Punch Taverns but the lessees went bust. Who knows what plans Punch have for it.

Been closed for 3 months - no evidence of anything going on when I looked at the pub. I marked it as ’Closed’ here.

No problems. Let’s just hope that someone can get it up and running again eventually.
