Popular Sheffield bar 'unlikely to reopen any time soon' as staff are laid off

The Great Gatsby, based on the corner of Division Street and Rockingham Street, made the announcement on social media this morning, Monday, August 24.

Posting on Twitter, it said: “It’s looking less and less likely that we will reopen any time soon. A combination of a protracted battle with the landlord and the limitations of the building have meant that, this morning, we had to take the horrible decision to lay off our staff."
