Just goes to show the last time I’ve properly been out in Sunderland or the area of town I tend to visit. Never liked those pubs if I’m honest.
Hopefully they play proper music and it’s a good atmosphere.
Shite music gets played, much like the majority of places in town unfortunately
Gay bar

Do only gay bars have good music and atmosphere? Or are you telling me there is a bar in Sunderland called gay bar?
Or if you are telling me the song gay bar classes as proper music then I’d respectfully disagree
Just saying that it’s a gay bar. The best music ever was born from the gay scene.

I have no problem with them at all. A town/city/place is always better with a mixed social scene. I’d argue that Sunderland could do with more of a one.

Yep, and interesting that you quote two pubs that have been kept original, probably the only two as well.
It would be nice if we got something better than “decent” tho wouldn’t it.
When you go to other cities and see the bars, restaurants etc, chains and independents you wonder why there are not here.

They do look good but are shit to break dance on because they are not slippery and so hard to spin on, requiring a lot more effort to pull off moves.

I also quoted the fire station, and dun cow had previously been other things, then done up.
What are you classing as better in other cities? One of Sunderlands problems is that many of its residents massively understate the good bits, and just mean that everywhere is better. The only thing that Sunderland doesnt have really is chain restaurants, which isnt a bad thing as chains tend to be shite, and we do have some good independents

Not really the time for this discussion with everything closed and lots going out of business, but if you have been to Leeds, Manchester, even Newcastle (as simple examples) in the past, you will see lots of quality places that we just don’t have. I’m well aware of why we don’t, I just said it would be nice if we did.
We do have a Miller and Carter tho, which did very well. Would that have been as successful in the town centre?

There's been a few recent bars around there which are now mere skeletons. If there's investment in that neck of the woods, and other bars open up there, it could give a good alternative. A bit like Newcastle having Quayside/Diamond strip/Haymarket. Different areas with different type of bars.

Don’t forget the Pink Triangle. Do we have a pink anything? Maybe a Pink Dot
Some other cities have different quarters for different things. It has long been the issue that different councils have tried to make different parts the main area and it’s all too spread out as a result. For example Sunniside was once the chosen place.
Looks like that the Music Art and Culture Quarter is still a thing tho, which is great, and the new club is not that far away from it.

I can still do my moves but not as good on those disco light floors. Speaking from experience and scraped skin. I can dee 'The Bop'.
