Pacific gives every impression of being a large chain bar, however I am not sure if it is. There is…read morea bar downstairs and a restaurant upstairs. It is fully disabled accessible having a lift, and is a large glass fronted building so very light inside. The food is reasonably priced however it is clearly bought in and heated rather than cooked. The kitchen is open onto the restaurant and there is a grill for burgers etc, but there are often stickers across parts of the menu stating that due to issues with their suppliers this page is not available. The downstairs bar is darker and has a good cocktail menu although is not inventive, and is reasonably priced. This is well away from the other bars and therefore is very quiet most nights.

I can't help but feel Bring_back_1977 missed the point of the Crown Posada. It's possibly the…read moreoldest bar in Newcastle. It wasn't built with modern fire safety procedures in mind. It's long, thin and cramped, but for that reason it's not allowed to pack several hundred people in so there wouldn't be a stampede in an emergency. It's an original, and that's the appeal. Having said that, it's been fitted with a safety feature to ensure a speedy exit for all concerned parties. It's called a door - there's one at the front, and one at the back, too. The Crown Posada is a perfect little pub, and there's too few of them left. Stained glass windows, a snug, ornate ceiling, real ale, and the fading gramophone entertaining those nearby. It's perfect.

Still a great classic pub. Not for food or entertainment, but for delivering great cask ale in a…read moretraditional pub without TV screens. Open one of these in LA please.

The Borough used to be a favourite hangout for punk-rockers back in times of yore…read more Obviously punk died in 1978 and these days, apart from the presence of a few, shall we say, for want of a better word, 'characters.' It mainly only refuses to conform in the sense it hasn't became a 'fun pub' like the atypical Sunderland bar. For all it was revamped a little several years ago, where it got one of the worst paint jobs I've ever seen, which almost ruined its interior glory, and subsequently took away some of its traditionalness(?). These days: it is dirty, on certain nights you wait ages to get served and when you do - it's expensive. Nonetheless, The Borough is still about the closest you're going to get to a traditional pub in Sunderland city-centre, and for all of its flaws, it is one of the very few pubs in Sunderland these days, that possesses any sort of character or soul. Which is why it's comfortably in my top two favourite pubs It's kind of like seeing a girl who might be cool or weird - you just can't decide. You know you can go meet hotter girls who adhere to more 'conventional' standards, but you'll always come back for fucking seconds. Or maybes that's just me. Five stars.

The Borough is a quirky little pub in the centre of Sunderland and definitely worth a look in…read more You'll find a varied bunch of characters inside, from the village idiot to pensioners it seems to have it all. The jukebox is good and has a great selection of tunes, some of which you don't find in most places. Drink prices are pretty average, and they do something called a 'borough bomb' for around three fifty. Flaming absinthe and aftershock in red bull. If you order a few at once they'll do a fancy trick where they knock them all in. The bar went on fire when they did it for us.
