5. The Flower Cafe, Keel Square
Another new addition to the units beneath Holiday Inn will be Flower Cafe, which will open in the site facing on to High Street West. Expect brunch, cakes, cocktails and more when it opens this summer. It follows the success of the Flower Cafe in Newcastle | Pulp Studio Design House
6. Elephant Rock, Roker
Two years in the making, Elephant Rock is nearing completion after giving new life to the old shelter on Marine Walk in Roker. The empty shelter and neighbouring old resorts office - which has since been relocated to the other side of the shelter - have been completely transformed with a new roof, beer cellar, bar, kitchen, full wiring and plumbing and bifold doors, which open up to give customers the chance to enjoy uninterrupted views of Roker Beach. It will have a seven day a week food and drink offering once it opens in July. | Sunderland Echo
7. Blacks Corner, Culture House
Local hospitality brand Blacks Corner will open its fifth branch when it opens in Culture House this autumn. There will be a bar and restaurant on the ground floor, featuring their signature wine and cheese offering and more. Meanwhile, the team will also cater for events taking place in the venue, including the Sky Garden overlooking the city | National World

8. The Muddler, Keel Square
Work has started on The Muddler in Keel Square. The 150-seater restaurant and cocktail bar will open later this summer and will be a strong addition to the city’s fast-growing food and drink scene. Known for its high-end take on Pan-Asian cuisine, creative cocktails, and luxe interiors, The Muddler has built a loyal following at its original site in Newcastle city centre, with the Sunderland site having a similar look and food offering. | Sunderland Echo
