New pub(s) in Sunderland

[Butcher's Coat]

Used to be busy back in the day as it was between The Imps and Boulevard, Derry, black bull, dun cow etc. Shame. I’m surprised it’s quietness doesn’t appeal to the auld upstairs crowd tbh.

And the Scotch House

Sunderland's old JJB Sports store is set to be turned into a 'nightclub'

Original plans for the city centre building included a pub with a bar and function rooms

Now planning to make it a nightclub apparently. Decision by end of October.

Of course it went down well with miserable old buggers on Sunderland history and memories;

Always a risk opening anything in that area of town. Just doesn't get the footfall after 7pm. Hopefully they make it a destination in its own right

Sunniside gets plenty so could end night in this new place after night down there. As itsplanned as a pub on bottom floor still it could be decent place after/before match too.

Was in the town last week and of all the pubs I usually use only Chaplins was open, Dun Cow, Fitzs, Ivy House all shut , never even bothered to try the Ship Isis, wasn't walking all the way up there to be further disappointed

I walk from the south stand to the train station without passing an open pub or shop now. Proper dogshit that.
So this may be a stopping point.

Think nightclubs have had their day tbh.

I'd agree but if it's more of a Palm type place it could work. Multiple different venues under one roof which is open late.

The Ivy has been open since pubs were allowed to - may be reduced hours during the day though

The Palm - over North Hylton/Southwick. Off Wessington way. Where DW fitness is. Packed the couple of times I've been.

I've just got used to Liberty Brown's mate. Smokey Joe's or summat before that. Changes its name more than Katie Price.

 

[MONTYMCPHAIL]

Used to love the town in the late 90s early 00s , The Pilgrim, Vestry, Sly McFlys, Brogans, Idols, Bud Bigalows, McCanns, Masters, Boulevard, Harley's n finish off in Ku. Good times

I would prefer a pub but don't begrudge the young uns a nightclub. There is only pzazz (not sure of its current name) and that club upside down in town now.

Was developed a bit further too. Extended, an upstairs and more outdoor seating. It's canny.

Aye I feel like it will be a real struggle to make it a success as a club.

I'd agree but I'm not in the business so if the people developing and running the place know what they are doing we could be proved wrong.
