Drinking in Sunderland City Centre - restored

[Ciro_DiMarzio]

I'm just going off what I see when out and about - they seem to be busier than I remember pre-Covid.

400 closed in 2023 H1 - any figures re how many new ones opened? Or is that figure a net loss?

Maybe it was, but he should have read the room better. Things were a bit fraught at the time he decided to initiate that particular wind-up. Got a lot of people's backs up, including mine.

And I'm normally such an easy-going lad as well

Getting people's backs up is the whole point of a wind up to be fair marra.

Busy?

Not rammed, closed at midnight

Busy?

I was in before the match and it was busy, about 7.30pm

It’s £6 for a pint of Amstel in the Fire Station now

£5 too much

What is it becoming?

Was in the Vaults pre match last night. Class pub, must be fairly unchanged bar a couple of flat screen tv's since the 80s. I love the back room when it's busy.

Barge inn or summit

Chaplins absolutely rammed this afternoon, and no I’ve not disappointed myself with the hand pull beer I’ve stuck with my favourite cocktail

Fitzirs yeterday at 3.00pm empty
greens 330 to 5.30. Quiet, but few started coming in
Dun cow 5.30 to 7 rammed
peacock 7-7.40 rammed to fuckery

Saw an absolute legend in The Isis last night that I'd not seen for years. Always seem to bump into people who have been off the map for yonks in there somehow. Anyway, great atmosphere as usual, only gripe is how crowded it gets on matchdays due to the layout of the place.

Anar, but there’s an awful lot of the pub taken up by the pizza eaters much of the time….expect that they’ll just head to Deptford and I can get a bit chicken with me pint and a seat!
