Sheff's becomes Harvey's

c - 13

Just passing sheff's today and it had huge banners all over it advertising "Harvey's - Opening Dec 8th", I knew the place was being renovated but didnt realise that it was under new ownership/being re-launched (again after the flop of sheff's live).

Anyone heard anything on this "Harvey's" ?

As far as I can see Sheffs went to hell ever since they decided to change from a student pub to a nightclub to whatever else they changed it to, damn shame to be honest

Yeah it became a student bar with scorpions nightclub attached to it. It kind of went downhill from there alright.

Just a little bit of trivia - My Dad told me that the original owner (a Lady named "May Shefflin") used to have a dog called 'Harvey' who was always in there, long before any changes happened !

Anybody know what the music policy is going to be like. I'm going to guess that it’s going to be chessy pop for the sophisticated clientele. How lovely, its not like that angle has ever been taken before in Waterford.
Kazbar
Muldoons
Masons.....BORING!

I'm sure it will be totally hip and down with it, ear to the ground for the student vibe :rolleyes:

the same people still have it and they use to have Muldoons so i'd say they'll go down the same road as that

WOW! Those guys are so daring that they would puttwo pubs which try to attract the same market within walking distance from one another. Is it just me or is this type of approach ridicilious! I can't understand why u would want to compete against yourself. Fair enough, its preventing other rivals from opening up shop nearby but shouldn't they be focusing on one premises and consolidating rather than splashing out millions when its not really required. Madness i tell yez, madness. I smell a fire coming!

They will not be competing against themselves as they no longer own Muldoons. Bob Tweedy took over that place earlier this year.
