While many of the restaurants, like Namaste and Santino’s, also offer outdoor seating, here’s a roundup of some of the dedicated beer gardens in Roker and Seaburn, in no particular order.
1. Grannie Annies, Roker
As well as space at the front of the pub, Grannie Annies has a large terrace at the side of the venue which is a real sun trap. | Sunderland Echo
2. Coming soon.....Slice Roker
Slice Roker soft launches from July 8, featuring a beach beer garden where you can enjoy pizza and Vaux on draught. It launches fully from July 11. | Sunderland Echo
3. Tin of Sardines, Pier View
Tin of Sardines opened its doors in 2022 after renovating an old toilet block and tram shed in Pier View - and it's proved a huge hit with its views over the Roker Riviera. It's great for a wide range of gins, breakfasts, brunches, BBQ sessions and more. It's also dog-friendly inside and out. | Sunderland Echo
4. Stack Seaburn
The biggest beer garden along the seafront is, of course, Stack Seaburn which is ideal whatever the weather thanks to the roof and heaters. It's very dog friendly too, so your pets can also soak up the atmosphere. | Sunderland Echo
