Sunderland pub memories: The Sunderland bars, clubs and pubs thirsty punters visited for their first-ever pints
Say cheers to the memories as we take a trip back in time to remember your first trips to the pub.
In honour of International Beer Day earlier this month, we invited the Sunderland Echo readers to tell us which Wearside pub they visited for their first pint – and, if they could remember, what they ordered at the bar.
And the question unearthed some classic pictures from our archives as punters raised a virtual glass to their favourite watering holes.
See if you can spot one of your regular haunts in our picture round-up and don’t forget to add your own to the post on our Facebook page here.
1. The Bay Hotel
John Naugher - who ordered a Guinness - and Lisa Dixon (cider and blackcurrant) were among those remembering The Bay Hotel.
