Constructed in 1910 and originally operating as a working men’s club, the venue was named ‘The Knack’ after the nearby coal mine.

Today, The Knack is a well-established and popular sports and social club, frequented by many locals as well as sports clubs and teams.

Spread across two levels, Christie & Co says the venue has been refurbished to a high standard throughout and offers a versatile layout suitable for a wide range of uses, with a large open-plan bar, snooker and darts rooms, lounges, and a spacious function room with a capacity of 350 on the first floor.

The property also includes a three-bedroom apartment historically used as owner’s accommodation.

Marslie McGregor, Business Agent at Christie & Co, is managing the sale process and said: “The Knack Sports Bar & Lounge presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a well-established and versatile venue in the heart of Seaham.
