Grandpa Dickies Shed

[mackem35]

I haven't read this whole thread but at least I know where this place is. If they had gone with a safe boring name you don't get people talking about it. Should have called it the Sunderland Marine Bar or the SMB.

Gonna pop down in a bit for a bit al fresco drink.

It's ok. Better upstairs than down. Nice when the sun is out.

Nobody would watch me bmx tonight so could nip in for a pint so had to go Grannie Annie’s

Missed opportunity - there's no "sex on the Seaburn beach" exotic cocktail.

Or a roker poker

I don't know why but I'm chortling imagining you doing jumps and that. Is it normally like on Grease at the end where there's quite a few people watching Danny race against Crater Face?

Hopefully our away fans will cause a great deal of confusion next season with the "Grandpa Dickies Shed is bigger than this..." chants.

Just been in tonight. Two things: the tables and benches aren’t nailed to the floor and quite wobbly - my mate’s pint went flying after someone bumped one, and the floorboards outside are shocking. I almost went my length after tripping over one, as did several other people.

Pictures of the inside seem OK, looks cheap and shit from the outside but I'll give it a try at some point.

Passed the other day, seemed quiet, Coast on the other hand looked packed, though it does look pretty small.

Coast had a bloke murdering a saxaphone on yesterday.

Where there's blame there's a claim Dave....
But seriously, those shortcomings need rectifying tbh.

We need to get to a point in society where BMX bikes are as welcome in pubs as dogs are. One love.

Tbf weather was decent I probably could’ve got my longboard out of the loft. Been up there a few years.

Haway man, you don’t build a brand new terrace then leave planks sticking up.

Its not brand new like. It’s reclaimed wood and has been built for nearly 3 years.

Has it? Never seen it before. Regardless it’s a trip hazard and they need to get it fixed before someone puts a claim in.

Any ethnic folk go in while you were in? You and your mates crack any jokes?

Yes, it was open during the lockdowns, selling bucket and spade and hotdogs
