Seaburn Stack

That’s the spirit!

And it’s exactly this attitude and doubt that are nails into the coffins of many a Sunderland business.

This will be part of every dog walk down the beach now, and although it’s not often I get out on an evening, it will definitely be a destination I will head too.

Support it or lose it, it’s as simple as that!

If we keep assuming that we shouldn't build anything in Sunderland "because nobody will come" then things are never going to change here.

It's a cycle of negativity. The image of the city is not going to change until we push for things which question conventional thinking.

Our seafront is a huge asset and we should be pushing to steal the Tyneside crowd from Whitley Bay, Shields etc.

Not trying to put it down, it's great to see the ambition, just being realistic.

There's only so far a "build it and they will come" mentality will take you.

An outdoor venue like that will always struggle to attract the footfall necessary to support so many businesses outside of the summer months.

Spray off the North Sea? It's set back a bit you know. It does get windy in Newcastle too.

Is it positioned to get the sun from south south west
Oh no there's a 4 storey hotel in the way
The seaburn grand plan has given way to piecemeal development
In 10 years it will look like the digs breakfast it replaced
Since the hotel and stack replaced the planned apartments (unless apartments are replacing the new car park and go bananas)
has a model been produced showing how it all blends together
Where's the fair going to go when the air show is on?
I'm fuming

Agree
I said this to siglion a few years ago during the consultation stage
I'm sure They said they couldn't get them interested as an operator probably because it would of impacted on the wessington way site

The Riviera will be the place to go for a night out soon. Another nail in the coffin for the city centre.

Start on Sea Rd (love the two micro bars there) and then head on down to the Stack/Bar 88/Promenade. Quick dart along Roker hotel/Harbour/Wolsey etc if fancied.

Very much this. I think people seeking a night out will gravitate towards SR6 rather than the town centre. People travel to newcastle for a night out so I don't see travelling to SR6 to be a barrier for revellers.

Bar 88 and The Promenade are always packed to bursting so I imagine the numbers will balloon

Sounds ideal mate. I only tend to go out down there or Deptford these days anyway

Whats it been like getting in the Lighthouse since its reopened? Just a 1 in 1 out system?
 
The project looks great but the beer offerings are a massive letdown IMO. Specialist beer bars would have complemented the food offerings yet they've gone with f***ing Heineken and Hop House! 😩

Don't think there's the appetite as much for that in Sunderland. If you want sometjhng like that, Torque is only five mins away.

There's a Guinness bar though, so that'll do me for a few.
