It’s a great spot, would definitely recommend it, maybe not on a match day as it will be crazy busy but they’ve done some fantastic work putting this place together
Been a few times now, this place is going to be a big success. Just a thought on the dance studios. I think they are in the wrong place, they occupy a prime retail space.
I think I paid £11.50 for pint of IPA and a bottle of alcohol free Moretti. Unsure what the split was but I’d usually expect to pay £5-6 minimum for a pint of IPA these days
But that bridge spells the end of any attempts to restart ship building on the Wear, the bridge will be too low to allow hulls to pass under it, so the council has finally killed shipbuilding on the Wear. Once the biggest shipbuilding river in the world

It was said to have "good looks, a wide, deep chest and a tendency to pace rather than trot." In the 18th century Galloways were bred in Swaledale, to haul lead ore.

Would recommend booking for the restaurants if you’re wanting to sit in, but I imagine there’ll also be limited capacity for walk ins. No need to book for the bars, live music etc though and you’ll be able to grab a slice of pizza or a donut without the need to book whilst having a drink🙌🏻🙌🏻
Sheepfolds looks fab. I hope it's well supported throughout the year & not just the footy season.
Such a great place to visit all year round 😊
Good to see a Geordie not putting down Sunderland for petty reasons but instead showing support for the region.
Thanks for that! All about the north east, we are all in it together in my opinion! 👍👍👍
Many geordies support SAFC from Gateshead, Jarra,Hebburn and So Shields.They were all part of Co Durham like SUNDERLAND.

Agree it’s going to be a huge success and bring people to Sunderland who would never usually think to visit. Thanks for taking the time to comment 😊
Looks great, but what are the prices like???

@@ganforbaitlikeI'll stick to Wetherspoons under £3 for a decent pint

No it’s a high bridge the size of the Wearmouth bridge so it wouldn’t affect it
Pit pony has nothing to do with dray horses, pit ponies worked underground in the coal mine along side the miners.
Hello, thanks for taking the time to comment. Apologies, the logo itself for “Pit Pony” refers directly to the dray horses.

@@PatrickKelly-lz3pv not Galloway but gallowa which is a slang term used in the north east/Sunderland pits
Lets hope the chavs stayaway so there is no litter dropped,vandalism,swearing,etc because they want to spoil everything in Sunderland city.
Can you walk in or do you have to book

Looks brilliant 👌
@@KBR1C3 very impressed with it! 😊
Ordinary Sunderland folk won't be able to afford the prices.
just looks like a place where posers with too much money go to hang out
Sunlun? Best place to be?
Shush man😂
