New pub(s) in Sunderland

I remember a memorable Rigid Digits gig at Kilmartin's cracking night.

Pubs attached to breweries are almost always shite.

Hence why the SOL beers are so poor.

 

[chriswallace85]

No, and I hope it soon goes bust as punishment for destroying it.

Most sensible thing you've posted in ages marra.

I took a picture of it when I was leaving Debenhams car park. Sonia, Rozalla and Kelly Lorenna at the opening of a pub?

Sounds like they’re trying to attract the illusions crowd - which isn’t good

Bar in the middle, like an island. Belter of a jukebox, good drink selection and lifting bogs. Tremendous.

Only been in once since it got refurbished. Won't be in again (it was on a neet).

Don’t forget the clientele - punks, metallers, goths and everything in between.

It's cleaner, cheaper for a better pint, and lots of tellies with sport on. I liked the old Borough, and can understand why people might dislike the new version, but I find we go in a bit more on match days now.

But it’s exactly the same as a dozen other pubs in town now. What do the alt crowd have?

 

[Left For Dead]

Sunniside or Deptford are the only places I really bother with.

Peacock to kings arms route- very good- roker and seaburn if you could link with a few more pubs- then stables etc

Flannigans have their prices advertised on the board outside.
Fosters - £3.20
John Smith - £2.80
Guinness - £3.20

Guinness is a decent price, but the other 2 are on the high side. 10 bob cheaper owa the road. Could struggle at those prices since it doesnt really offer owt different.

It was fairly busy at lunch time with people eating. If its got a decent menu it could do canny in that market (but then again BION did a decent afternoon food trade).

 

[Reptilia]

Had a look through the window in Flannigans.

and its, carling, fosters, john smiths & strongbow.

really?

Whats irish about that? They sell Guiness. Everywhere sells Guiness.

The one that it replaced had a shit selection of drinks. It's either going to fail or if drink is cheap enough end up like another Josephs.

They have more than that on like. They have Murphy’s, Moretti and Amstel on as well.

What is the new Central trading as now ?
Any reviews ?

Saw some young lad painting the outside the other day. What a mess the lad made, there was more white paint on the pavement than on the pub walls.

Was it Archie?

Theyre the only ones they are advertising (along with Murpheys).

It does seem an odd decision to just advertise the shit (at premium prices)

 

[houghton cut head]

Cargo was another which was an half arsed effort anarl. Lasted about 6 months.
If its also tied to a brewery & just offering boring drink selection then sadly it'll fail again.

That had the worst beer selection of any pub I have ever seen in Sunderland. f***ing minging

Not great like but a couple I could get stuck into at least.

 

[Man About Town]

Need a couple of decent ales on like Rivet Catcher to attract some decent clientelé, the Fosters/Carling/John Smiths crew are brain dead.

Whilst it's a very bland drink I wouldn't put John Smiths drinkers in with the Fostaz mob.
