No but they’re joined together. I think you can access Victoria’s Loft from inside Streetbar through a door and staircase.

I don’t even know what 1719 is so you could have a point there. Tbh I’m not really a gig person as such so never really go looking for info about them, even though I always enjoy them when I go. Most of my favourite bands are either dead or ancient though. I should probably look out for more tribute band type stuff though and things like last night, always a canny night out.
You need to read the Sunderland music and the impressive development in the East End threads marra.

I know the upstairs was called that but there's no streetbar sign and now has Victoria's Loft in big gold letters. It's been painted blue too

Probably do mate. Like I say though with me not being much of a gig person I tend not to. Usually the sort of person who unless it’s a big act or band I like so is well publicised, anything else I’ll just go if I hear about it by chance and fancy it. Which is how last night came about really.
yeah mate ,i know them allI don’t even know what 1719 is so you could have a point there
Old Revolution is Streetbar sports bar. Where Saba is was the Lambton Worm Wetherspoons, and then Victors for a few years.
we went into Saba xmas 2023 and it was pretty poor . There was a big group but it was just a shambles .Good to see its improved and smaller tables will always be better

Hmm you sure? I know it’s been painted blue, but Streetbar is still very much alive and kicking. I’ve been in town a canny bit the last few weeks drinking and for matches and can’t say I noticed the sign gone. I’ll be getting dropped off near there in about an hour and a half for the match so I’ll take a look. Streetbar have just posted on their Facey 28 minutes ago advertising Streetbar Saturdays.
Maybe they’ve just added a Victoria’s Loft sign as well now to advertise it better because before I think it was only the back end facing the road that mentioned it.
Aye no complaints at all yesterday. Was 6 of us yesterday.

Just a pity m and s shut
M&S closing was a stupid and short sighted decision when there’s literally going to be hundreds of customers living over the road
Taking the grandchildren to the panto after Christmas. I was thinking they might be getting a bit old for it but apparently not.

Very apt username
They are opening more food halls so we may see a different site
food was only part of that one
Very true and given it was on a very short lease and in the way of more development, stupid to close it as it could have done another couple of years but not a major surprise.

But hardly a surprise. It's just a few days before Christmas. I'd imagine most city centres will have been busy.
Manchester Christmas market was took down early ,no punters
