Experience a warm Mackem welcome at the Vaults. A traditional pub which hasn't changed much over the years, serving ales and lagers. Very popular with the locals and for those looking for a friendly and fun night out!.
Great place, 'spit and sawdust' as they say, stuck in an 80s time warp. Sunderland football decor and souvenirs. Nice friendly barman, decent beers for a fair price.
Excellent pub. Friendly, knowledgeable family run for decades. Always real ales, along with usual favourites, all at great prices. Proof being the loyalty of a lovely group of regulars.
Just a few doors down from The Ship Isis we found another CAMRA 2023 Good Beer Guide pub. A traditional two room pub, a front bar with a lounge beyond and a rear beer patio beyond that. Only two real ales, a Dirty Leeds from Elland brewery. Casta had a pint from Firebrick brewery. Heatwave..very un-apt as a cold drizzle set in on this miserable August evening. We got wet going home. Really like this bar. Great local's vibe. One flat screen TV had the Friday footie on plus a small 1970' tv...no idea these could still receive and play a signal.
Was a little bit disappointed with here as it was recommended, but in fairness that may have been due to the high standards of elsewhere we visited in Sunderland. The place definitely has a lot of character with lots of old Sunderland FC memorabilia on walls and tables. The disappointment came with the beers. Only one in tap when we went in as it had not long opened then one added a bit later. To be fair it was two new beers so not terribly bad. Barman was chatty and helpful offering some pub choices that were out of the way and we had not considered.
Bags of character and quality SAFC memorabilia. A real open fire. Barman on my visit was down to Earth and chatty. I'd like a little more choice of craft or real ale on tap, but they had a few decent craft options in a fridge. They should make it more obvious as I didn't see it at first.
