Popular Sheffield pub set to re-open four months after closure
A well known Sheffield neighbourhood local is set to re-open
A popular Sheffield pub looks set to re-open its doors, some four months after its closure.
The Closed Shop closed its doors back in January this year, due to “ongoing financial pressures.”
But now it has been confirmed that it will be back in business in the next few weeks, with a new landlord expected to take over the site.
A spokesman for the pub company Star Pubs, which owns the venue, has confirmed the re-opening plans.
They told The Star: “We’re pleased to confirm The Closed Shop pub on Commonside in Sheffield will be reopening next month and we look forward to welcoming back customers.
“The Closed Shop is a strong community pub offering a selection of popular beers, ciders, wines, spirits and cocktails as well as cask ales.”
The pub had previous closed in January, after an announcement on social media.
Previous manager Sophie Bailey had been running the venue for more than two years when it closed.
She said at the time: “We’ve had a wonderful time over these last few years but due to ongoing financial pressures we have made the decision to cease operations.”
She had taken over the pub in September 2023, after it had been closed for three months prior to that.
