9 nostalgic scenes inside Sunderland's bars: Join us for a pint and a look back in time
From Crowtree Road to Wynyard Street, we have reminders of bar scenes from the past and we hope they bring back happy memories.
Whether it was a leisure centre bar, a champagne bar or the bar in a converted club, we have them all.
Some are still with us and they will be back once the pandemic restrictions end, while others are memories of a time gone by.
So let’s raise a toast to Wearside’s locals and once you’ve taken a look, get in touch to tell us more.
