About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
City-centre sports pub on High Street West with 12 TV screens showing Sky/BT/TNT Sports, making it a reliable place to watch live football. It’s a known pre/post-match spot mentioned by local fans, and the venue itself has referenced hosting away fans respectfully. Practical on matchdays too: it’s close to Sunderland rail and Metro stations (around 500m), and offers quick bites (toasted sandwiches) for a fast pre-game snack.

Lovely bar with a very friendly and helpful lady behind the bar. Some interesting aspects too look at around the decor and a good mix of old style pub and modern sports bar. Only dropped a star as the ale selection was limited, but they were very helpful at directing us to other pubs that did. Would happily go back.
Visited today for a quick drink. The balcony area upstairs was amazing to sit at, nice and quiet, lovely sun trap! Would come again simply for that sitting area alone! Very cost effective drinks too!
Denise who served me was the best. Great service with a lovely smile. I'd go here again just for the service. Drinks are the cheapest around and with great selection of all drinks.
