Inn Brief

The Old Mother Redcap in Bradway is now closed again after the new management couple were ousted by Sam Smith’s brewery. An application has been made to Sheffield City Council by Hawthorn Leisure for extended opening hours at Edward’s bar on Glossop Road. The venue, which has seen several reincarnations in recent times, would also be re-branded as Sinatra’s under the plans. The Shakey in Hillsborough reopened on 7 June following a comprehensive refurbishment. Woody’s bar on West Street offered cask Abbeydale Moonshine over the recent Spring Bank Holiday Weekend. It isn’t clear whether there are plans to continue serving real ale. The Church House on St James Street is set to close for a few weeks after Tramlines weekend for essential building maintenance. The interior will also be given a full renovation. Plans have been submitted for a new micropub in a former children’s craft café at 185 Middlewood Road, S6 4HD. It is hoped the pub will be open in time for Tramlines weekend. The proposed new micropub in the former Iberico Café in Crookes has hit a setback after objections were raised over disabled accessibility. Walkley Beer Co is hosting a takeover from Leeds-based North Brewery on Friday 6 July, with cask, keg and canned beers on offer.
