Drinking in Sunderland City Centre - restored

[JAZZMANB]

Kids these days, none of that bollocks in the 80s/90s.

Don't think its kids mind , just weird 30 somethings who've queued for more latte and avocado on sourdough than lagers

 

[Harbour Boy]

Emporium £2.70 Monday to Friday.

Awful pint in there though.

The £2-3 pints tend to taste like lager and soda water mixed
Very odd

Brilliant day yesterday - Vault, pints of Mahou are exceptional, Greens, then The Terrace, no-one in but the young lad behind the bar was class - even though he didn't know who UB40 were

CIU places were sticklers for stupid rules
Full of “ you can’t did this you can’t do that son” types
Another reason I avoid them like the plague and also the people who use them

Dead all over in town tonight like.
No real surprise I guess.
Only us pissheads out.

Apparently the unofficial queue phenomena has a name
Snaking ,its a thing and bar staff hate it

There's signs in the Stack saying 'don't queue, approach the bar' and then you see absolute weapons queuing in front of the sign telling them not to queue

I hope these new housing estates increase footfall but I really dont think it's going to make much of a difference during the week.

I preferred pubs to clubs , but saw some great locals bands in CIU places .
In the 70 s Monday night ( Monday afternoon in some )was a very busy night in pubs and clubs . Drinking habits have changed , nearly everybody I knew went out at least 5 nights a week and nobody thought them pissheads

Monday to Wednesday they're normally cheaper at £2.35.
Class when they've got Jaipur on at that rate.
