    Not Glassworks but Civic/Eldon Street redevelopment - Nailmaker were supposed to be opening a bar there in the Winter but don't even appear to have the keys yet. Anyone know what the hold up is?

    It’s Katie O’Briens. It’s still listed on their website as coming soon:

    https://katieobriensirishtaverns.com/barnsley

    An application to change the use class on the unit from a restaurant to a bar was submitted in March and approved in May.

    I’d assume it’s still going ahead.

    I read somewhere that our Flannels is the most profitable store (for size) in the country, how true that is I’m not sure but it’s no more expensive than Frank birds and they’ve survived years. There’s a market believe it or not I use it myself and frank birds regular I’d much rather shop in town than Meadowhall

    That's it, I knew it was one of the 317 Irish bar chains they have in Sheffield.

    If you search this thread at the top with your username that's about the 9th negative post about Flannels you have put, l take it you don't like them?

    I think it's a quality addition to the Glassworks and someone posted about it's doing great according to the store manager. They don't have to sell much at those prices.

    The River Island unit might be vacant soon if reports in the press are anything to go by.

    If I wanted something from river Island I'd go to meadowhall. The one in town is about as big as my living room and they've hardly ever got anything decent in.

    Probably as bland and as awful as your misuse of the comma in a sentence…

    Really don’t understand people who want businesses to close down leaving the town empty just because they don’t shop there I quite like river island, yes it’s small but it’s better than what we had in town 10 years ago do we really want to go back to a town with boarded up stores just because Steve from Cundy cross doesn’t like the fit of the jeans Christ
