About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
A short walk from the Stadium of Light, The Avenue is a recognised pre-match stop with multiple TVs and listed football/terrestrial TV, making it handy for catching live action before or after the game. CAMRA notes its proximity to the ground and multiple TVs, plus that the pub posts its beer range via Real Ale Finder, so match-goers can expect rotating cask options. UseYourLocal explicitly describes it as a good pre-match pub with football on TV. Reviews also indicate away supporters have used it without issue, suggesting a mixed, welcoming crowd on matchdays.

Amazingly friendly and chatty staff and locals. Great beer selection on cask and a few novel draft beers. Wonderful beer garden. Fabulous pub.. Absolute cracker.
Nice micro pub with good beer choice. Decent price too, £3.50 a pint. Close to Sunderland Football Ground, quiet when there's no football on! Most of the locals enjoying the beer garden in the sun.
Came here for the first time in February after the Sunderland match. The staff were super lovely and friendly and the garden is a nice place the jam when it's busy inside. The garden has heat lamps above the decking. Had a decent pint!
