The Gleneagles and The Oddfellows, both torched.

Someone probably had to pay the tick book in the sandhills

Johnny Pan Face used to have the Gleneagles about 15 years ago, but I think he was fronting it for someone else who may have struggled to get a licence. Despite growing up near there I've never been in, even when it was the Sandhills.

Snap! me mam and dad looked on it as rough and they drank in the eagle

Seems to be a common thing now in Sunderland ,pubs getting torched or at least someone trying .

Probably charging too much

Dunno how any provincial pubs survive these days unless they have a booming weekend crowd.

Aye. All the daytime plonkys are in the town paying 1.80 a pint. Then on the weekend you get to deal with coked up radgies. Must be a nightmare.

I’m still yet to meet anyone I’d describe as a coked up radgie mind. I’m sure it’s just an SMB construct. People I know who take coke regularly just seem to talk a lot more.

They are probably radgies regardless of the coke, the drugs just bring it out more

Gleneagles has the highest percentage of f/c-words per sentence of any pub in Sunderland. The barman had his toddler grand daughter in his arms but it didn't seem to make any difference.

It makes the jockey in shameless look a decent bar.

Must make a killing mind because loads of lads I know from school never seem to leave the place.

I was Ina pub in Cleator Moor, Cumbria, years ago when a bloke held up the black triangle thing you set pool balls up with (it was snapped) and asked the entire bar, 'Which f***ing f****er, f******ed the f******ing f******er'

I've drank a few times in the Dolphin and found it to be alright: it's like Betty's Tearoom compared to the Gleneagles.

Been voted Sunderland pub of the year twice recently so must be doing something right.

 

[muggboots]

Oddfellows - is that one Dead Ted's?

Ted's dead baby?

Regular in the Dolly and now and again in glenegales. It's a better place than than gleneagles, but far worse if you piss the locals off.

 

[muggboots]

Aye, that's going back a bit when it was good as a two bar.
Went to pretty much ruin until it was done out into it's current inflagration.
