I have a friend who owns a pub (Free House) - terrific boozer, folk music and poetry nights, large selection of real ale, great food.

On the door it says (from before the ban) "No Smoking Inside. And no smoking ourtside the door either". He's packed morning (coffee) lunchtime and night.

He's packed every night. Try the Black Bull at Frosterley. (Weardale)

The free house real ale boozers in Sheffield with reasonably priced real ale are doing well. It isn't the smoking ban that's killing pubs.
