Backs up what I said a few months back ;)

What the former Corner Flag pub is to become.

I'm still saying brew dog Not what I've heard. I've heard a vague name mentioned but there's a few companies with similar names. Looking at the potential ones it could be, I think it'll be the Cosy Club (or one of its sister companies). But could be way off the mark

Apparently the fourth restaurant /bar in Keel Square is going to be called the Lounge.

Nor local a national company.

Fits in with the description of what I'd heard. "Big chain don't have much of a foothold in the region"

Cosy Club would have made more sense as The Lounge ones from what I'm seeing seem to be more suburban?

Which companies are moving into those buildings?

My wife's old company, More Than (RSA) were scheduled to move in, but this has been cancelled due to a change in the company and some of RSA being sold off to Admiral

Maker & Faber | Riverside Sunderland

makerfaber.co.uk makerfaber.co.uk

Impressive website for Maker & Faber with a really good promotional video. I'm sure there'll be more businesses lined up.

It was unfortunate with RSA but the sale of their personal lines business to Admiral and Atlanta group there wasn't need for a new office

Cosy Club would be good, always very popular.

These are OK. On my frequent trips down to Suffolk, I go to one in Sudbury, The Prado Lounge, and one in Bury St. Edmonds, The Edmondo Lounge.
I did note that there was one in Hexham when I was there the other week.
A lot of coffees and food during the day, then beer in the evenings.
All the same style of layout, massive old style lampshades, and big pictures on the wall, giving it the 40's vibe...

Presumably they have an agreement for lease in place so will be obligated to honour the lease and other costs (business rates, service charge etc). Shame that we might not have the bodies in the city centre though. Assume they will have right to sub-let.
