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. 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
New Democratic 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.
