Sunderland AFC
Stadium of Light
Where To Drink
There are bars inside the ground, however
they get really crowded. I would recommend the William Jameson
(Wetherspoons pub) in the centre of town for a drink before or after the
game, as it has a great atmosphere. Graham Dutton recommends the new
Yates's bar opposite Wetherspoons. Whilst Jason Adderley a visiting West Brom
fan adds; ''The
Albion pub, on Victor Street, off Roker Avenue, is a five minute walk from the ground, with
some parking nearby. I've used this pub the last three times I've
visited Sunderland with West Brom. Always friendly and the landlord
even puts on complimentary snacks after the game. Otherwise there is a
chippy a couple of doors away. An all round top boozer'. Stephen Lundell informs me;
There are also another
couple of bars worth mentioning, both a five
minute walk away form the stadium, on the road approaching the Wearmouth
bridge on the North (Stadium Side) of the river. There are two social clubs
- The Sunderland Companions club, and the newDemocratic Club, which both get
very busy, and will offer a warm welcome to away supporters, and serve cheap
beer'.
If you have a bit of time
of your hands, then you may like to try the Harbour View on the sea front,
which is around a 15-20 minute walk away. Simply go along Roker Avenue
(opposite the main entrance to the stadium) until you reach the seafront.
Turn left along the front and you will see the pub up on the left. The pub
which has previously been listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide, serves good
beer, reasonably priced food (with its own matchday menu) and has a large
screen television. As the name of the pub suggests you get some good views
along the coast from its location.
