Subject: RE: Harlequin Pub In Sheffield From: Ritchie Date: 15 Nov 00 - 07:31 AM I know someone from sheffield who knows where the pub is. He seems to think that they have a good football team but he can't remember what they are called. He also states 'that if you get Wards in your eye it's like sulphuric acid. He got some in his eye once and it nearly took his eye out. He suggests that's why they stopped making it. ritchie in newcastle. |

Subject: RE: Harlequin Pub In Sheffield From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 15 Nov 00 - 08:30 AM It's true that Wards contained more sulphur than most beers; sometimes you could taste it quite distinctly, though that depended on how it was kept. Some people cordially disliked it, but I quite enjoyed it; mind you, I was always careful where I put it... Malcolm |

Subject: RE: Harlequin Pub In Sheffield From: Patrish(inactive) Date: 15 Nov 00 - 08:47 AM So is Linda taking over the Red House? If yes it will be a good excuse to have a hell of a leaving do and a kind of pub/house warming. The great atmosphere at the harlequin and the wonderful hospitality were supplied by Linda - so it will still be there no matter where she goes - she carries it with her. Patrish |

Subject: RE: Harlequin Pub In Sheffield From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 15 Nov 00 - 09:40 AM The Brewery approached her and suggested the move. The rationale, apparantly, is that the Harlequin does not do well at lunchtimes now that few people live or work close to it, while the Red House, which has had a succession of short-term tenants and managers since Anne and Glynn moved on earlier this year, now has almost no trade at all and is losing money hand over fist. Of course, it is possible that the Brewery has other, unstated motives to do with the developments taking place around the old brewery site by Lady's Bridge, but it's fairly pointless speculating. The Red House is smaller than the Harlequin, and probably a little harder to find, but it's a nice pub which has a tradition of music going back longer than the Dog and Partridge or Fagan's, though this has been interrupted at times over the years by some new tenants, who have usually then had to re-introduce it when their alternative plans didn't work out. I'd have thought that Linda can turn the place round if anyone can. Malcolm |

Subject: RE: Harlequin Pub In Sheffield From: BanjoRay Date: 15 Nov 00 - 07:03 PM Dave Young plays at the Harlequin, and also at the Red House, where I often play banjo with him in an Old Time session. He tells me that he thinks Linda won't be taking the Red House over, but that's all I know, I've never been to the Harlequin. Cheers Ray |
