Drinking in Sunderland City Centre - restored

[Shandy drinker]

Just saw a Daily Express article about the the closure of the WJ. It implies it’s been a public for over 100 years.

“And there are plenty of people both shocked and gutted that The William Jameson is going. Dating back to the 19th century, the pub is named after William Jameson, the man responsible for laying out Sunderland's famous Fawcett Street for the Fawcett family.”

I thought it used to be Binns. Was there a pub there before Spoons?

AI generated shite journalism like all these click bait articles
Will be making out further example of Rachel reeves destroying pubs
Just to get the angry people angry

It was an article on British Pubs on Facebook. Not my usual read.

There must be reaching a point now where’s there’s more duff info out there than good

Called out after work for a couple unplanned yesterday.

Keel tavern first, I do under appreciate this pub because whenever I'm in (not very often) I absolutely love the place.

Afterwards I made the mistake of calling into The Vault Yard, first time in for a good few months and it's an utterly depressing place.

They've had quiz nights in there before.

Why are people queuing?
Why does it smell of burnt fat ?

It's a canny bar actually, all in all
Great when it opened

Not the City Centre but after watching a live video of some lass doing the worm in Lansdowne and some shitty crooner singer I will be giving the place a swerve.

Now renamed Vow. It won't last long.

As a side note, just came out of Emporium. Was like an audition for Michael Jackson's thriller.

Emporium is somewhere I never go nights out

Well given his track record I’m with you on that one.

Sisters and nieces were attacked outside cooper rose Friday night around midnight by a random woman, thanks to the lads who got her off them who were passing. They were a bit shocked/ shook up but ok now

The new landlord is one of them gadgies who leaves a trail of debt everywhere he goes, will give it a year max.

Spent a very pleasant unplanned afternoon in The Dun Cow. Decent crowd in all afternoon and nice watching people coming and going for Mean Girls at The Empire.
And a brief visit from our Czech fans.

Last weekend the idiot new Landlord told a lad that has been drinking in there for 25 years he did not want any locals in as he wanted a different crowd in the pub under his management. He certainly got his wish as all the locals who have drank there for years are avoiding the place and are going into the Gardeners which has recently been refurbished and a much better pub.

Shocking behaviour that mind, I do know of him. Drinks in the Ashbrooke.

The locals will have kept the place going for years. Judging by his live it was all young uns in there last night.

Won’t last two mins. Had a few city centre bars. One high profile case if you google.

Will always be a local's pub. There was a time many moons ago when it was a Vaux training pub and worth a visit as the beer was top notch but there's never been a reason to visit since.
Like The Free Gardener's, you wouldn't know it existed unless you were local or horribly lost.

Yes read about that one.

The thing is the young uns won’t keep that place running as they only go out once a week.

Look at the Willow Pond always busy, same landlord for years because he keeps his regulars happy.

Probably start at three stories today, fancy a change from Green Terrace & Low Row
