Always a 10:30 finish when I started drinking in the 70's.
Hours were 11:00 to 15:00 and 18:00 to 10:30 Monday to Saturday.
On Sunday it was 12:00 to 14:00 and then 19:00 to 10:30.

I had no idea about this mind. I thought it was original. They've done a cracking job like.

No marra.
10:30 was last orders on a Sunday night around the town from the mid 70's until the hours changed in '88 marra.
10 minutes drinking up time, then away home on the last bus.
Maybe out of town pubs had different hours. Think Sunday was definitely 10pm.
Jo Bananas. Was desperate, all one big room IIRC.

Aye it was shite. I found it hard to believe it was the same pub when I walked in after the refurb.

No ,yesterday after much begging and pleading I managed to obtain a pass out for an hour ,with the help of a comrade I was able to view the Daisy for the first time since new manager took over ,even though I’ve been in many times over the years still never fails to give me shudder down my spineas I observe the Edwardian splendour on view.Sunderland manual workers in that period were the highest paid in UK by far .Buildings like the daisy ,Wheatsheaf ,Dun Cow ,Empire and they are all good examples .And with SAFC been one of the biggest clubs in the world at that time it all made possible by Sunderland people having a high standard of living.Are you in there now?
Just as I am a Eternal optimist that once again SAFC will be a powerhouse in football again .I also hope that Sunderland Economy will pick up .To start this process we must encourage Sunderland people to

spend their money in the local economy starting with the likes ofMountain Daisy And other local run businesses.

Aye. I'm talking from about 2003-2006ish.
Definitely mate. Unrecognisable but I do understand @Hendonbeach point about it being not original.

Did you know the landlords son who used to have raves downstairs?
Was 10:30pm Mon-Sat until 1988 apparently. Extended to 11pm after that.
Only thing that changed, IIRC, was doing away with afternoon closing (3:00 - 5:30). I spent the entire first day in the pub (the Dagmar) when that was relaxed.
Whether last orders was at 10:30, 10:55 or whatever was down to the pub's own policy, as long as everyone was out by 11.
2003 was when it was all deregulated (had to Google that).
