One objection over the proposed opening hours of the new bar had been made

A historic pub popular with Sheffield United fans is set for a new lease of life after closing two years ago.

The Barrel Inn, on London Road, which opened in 1882, could return as D'Ahni's Bar and Grill, following an application to Sheffield City Council.

The plan has received one objection which raised concerns over potential fighting, drugs and noise, and the proposed opening hours.

The council's licencing committee is to review the application on Monday.

Documents submitted by UKAL Enterprise Ltd state the new business would be open until 01:00 GMT between Monday and Thursday and on Sunday.

The company has also stated the bar would be open until 04:00 GMT on Friday and Saturday.

The building's classic red and white colouring scheme - the colours of Sheffield United player's shirts - has been changed to green and yellow after a "dramatic makeover", the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.
