Black Cats Bar

Have never been in it before and am considering it for the Arsenal game.

£55 a ticket.

Would anyone recommend it? Is it worth it? What's the standard of the 'complimentary' meal?

Ta.

Did it for City game, the meal was alreet nowt flash. It was a curry then. It's canny if you're having a drink before/after you get a proper drink in a proper glass with a proper selection of drinks. Dear as fuck though, tbh I'd rather just go to a normal pub before and after. There's not many seats in the bar.

May just give it a whirl, I'll never know unless I try it. Will be something a bit different and a chance of a proper warm up at half time, it's going to be bloody freezing at the weekend.

This season I think:

• Executive padded seat at the front of the upper tier of the Strongbow Stand
• Private bar facilities
• Complimentary home-cooked 'dish of the day'
• Matchday programme

I get there quite early for matches as not much seating, yesterday was bacon sarnies or sausage, and chips...

I don't think it is that dear, we went down to the Sports Bar too, paid £3.70 for a pint of Fosters..now that's expensive

But overall we really like it in there and will renew next season..

was rammed in there yesterday...few Boro in there an arl, but were sound lads, not in there for trouble..

That's OK then, I've never been in there since they 'shut' it for general public.

I'm going to try and get a ticket in there for the Spurs or Wolves game, is there a dress code?
