Sunderland on the telly, drinks in hand and smiling staff. What more could you ask for in this set of retro Gatsby photos.

Here we go with a look back through the Echo archives for 9 photos of the Derwent Street/Park Lane venue.

It was standing room only when Sunderland fans watched the Black Cats 3-0 win over Newcastle in 2014.

We’ve got a reminder of the 2009 opening of Gatsby and staff making cocktails in 2011.

Join us for a mix of great archive scenes.
