We posted a 1997 photo of the Park Lane favourite on social media and wanted to know your thoughts about it.

From the ice cold Bud to the chips and coleslaw, it was a winner.

Some people reckoned it was the best venue in Sunderland ever and here is a round-up of the views you shared on Wearside Echoes, which is the specialist nostalgia page run by the Sunderland Echo on Facebook.

Memories of Jonny Ringos. What are yours?

Simon Davis said: “Brilliant place. Loved it” while lots of you remembered having work nights out there.

What a great description from George Cutter who said: “Pint of Bud with a frozen glass straight out the freezer.”

Kirsty Bowden said Jonny Ringos ‘was ahead of its time!’ and Julie Garland commented: “Oh I loved Jonny Ringo’s.”

So did lots of other people including Mal Robinson, Pauline Stoddart and David Wingate who said: “Great place!”
