Independent: what do users think?
Chris Sowels: Good venue, my son keddy performed a set with a couple of local bands.drinks bar not busy the evening we went. Load of radgees in the club next door were fighting though, sort of thing that can happen in any city TBF.
Stephanie Pringle: Great music to dance to great atmosphere
Chris Hall: Great for live bands. White noise were fantastic.
Scott Horabin: loved massive waggons rock on bro's
SR: As long as you know what you're booking before you go then you'll be fine, drinks are reasonable; 4.00 for a double on a Saturday night. Take it as you will. Tickets for the event itself was about £5 eachHowever mixer could also do with some advise some of the bands went through the entire night with lead singers being unheard because they didn't realise that the mic wasn't working. Unfortuanet for the bands that didn't mention it before hut come on if youre obsessive about music this is something you should have realised
Lee Fryer: Went to see Great Waves plus support at this excellent, grass-roots venue. The North-East is known for brilliant music and places to play, the Independent being one of the best.
Martin Edworthy: Good music venue, limited bar.
Ben Watson: Blue pint.
Andy Mux: Best live music venue in Sunderland.
Jamie Adams: The guy who sells aftershave is sound when it comes to bashing out lines in the toilets x
Jonny Brutal: Rocking venue
John Bell: Great venue watching Sinnerboy
Ian Carney: Great venue,not so great beer,hate plastic
Alan Hodgson: Great night had by all.
Linda Barella: Great place fan local talent and great atmosphere
Alex Stephenson: Decent, smallish, venue for gigs in the heart of Sunderland city centre. Sound is okay. Bar is okay.Two minutes from the nearest Metro and train station (Sunderland). Busses (Park Lane) are 5 minutes away. No parking available at the venue.
Kirk Kitson: Love the sesh and the blue pints. Inde for life.
Christopher Durant: Great little venue for watching some great up and coming bands. We went to watch The Snuts and it was brilliant. The atmosphere was out of this world.
Ian Robb: This is a venue for mostly students,there is live music every week,a good selection of beers,wines and spirits,it is based over 2 floors with plenty of room for dancing.
Lisa R: Music isn't the best but the drinks and vibe are great
Lazlo Bennassi: The lyrical poets who are paid to entertain are amazing and could possibly be under estimated in their word play genius. As Tennyson once said and I quote "they were areet them".

The Fire Station: what do users think?
Robin Sanderson: Le Vent du Nord provided a wonderful evening of entertainment at this excellent venue. Their brand of traditional québecoix music is quite exhilarating, with toe-tapping tunes and stunning harmonies. And a hurdy-gurdy!
Co Durham lad: Got a phone call today from these, I have just resigned from my position at my Boxing Club, I explained this to the lady,she was quite abrupt, WELL CAN I SUGGEST YOU REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THE CONTACT DETAILS, i honestly thought I had, she did not even tell me where she got my details from, the conversation ended, if that is how they go on, they can only but fail. I’ll certainly never go, and tell people of my experience.
Mick Tone: Excellent service, Charlotte was delightful, food lovely and a great venue. Excellent experience. Phil Welsh
Douglas Cromar: Excellent food & serviceGood atmosphere. Looking forward to my next visit.
Mark MacDonald: Great atmosphere and friendly staff who are very helpful. The food was amazing.
michael walker: Top spot to eat! Great environment, staff were fantastic and the food was unreal! Onion rings were perfect. Exactly how they should be done. Kids loved the desert, too. Would go back 100%
Jennifer Clair Robson: Great food.
Eddie Hanratty: Great venue plenty of space excellent place to see a band. Will be back
Lee Stuart: Superb night of entertainment in the Uber relaxed atmosphere at The Fire Station. Brilliantly designed auditorium, every seat in the house perfectly situated for an intimate performance.The Fire Station: 5 Star Venue, well stocked bar & great food.Ronnie Scott's All Stars: Consummate professionals, authentic Jazz players with an overt respect for the history of the club and the greats who played there.
Christopher Hayes: Great atmosphere. Nice pint
Chris Watson: Went for drinks, service was terrible and staff really unfriendly. Definitely need some customer service training. The reservation of tables and moving people on an hour before the reservation start time must be loosing the pub a fortune.
Andrew Davison: Really enjoyed my meal here tonight and the staff were spot on, service was quick and the food was deliciousI would say the prices are abit wild for what they were, probably on the high end of what I was expectingFor example the green pea and mint risotto £15, add chicken for £2.50 or add fish for £4, I could understand the additional cost if the risotto was about £10 but £15 for basically rice and peas, felt like I had to add something or it would have felt like something was missingOther than that like I said it was all really nice
Suzan: Great place for a meal & drink before a visit to the theatre 🎥
Colin Flanagan: Loved this place. Definitely going to keep an eye to see who is coming. Very nice inside and the venue is small so you always have a good view of the stage
Deborah Gray: Expensive. Gets busy before a show at the Empire next door.
lukemeier The god: Bra ställe fin öl finns uteservering bra stämning innan match.
Karen Lowthian: Great venue
Anthony Armstrong: Great time at the fire station food was great and so was the service
Fiona Martin: Great venue! Welcoming and spacious. Will definitely be back!
angela taylor: Excellent
debs Bland: Bar staff are extremely slow! It was absolutely packed, and they only had two staff on. Me and a friend were stood at the bar 15mins waiting to be served. As for the prices, £10.40 for 2 ciders! Absolutely ridiculous. Would not go again.

Dean Armstrong: Best ever had...Great staff.. unreal grub....ten out of ten all round...food is 5 star and everyone so welcoming and the tunes are top....your missing out if you haven't been....
Pennywell laundry sevices Unit 2: Bloody lovely food 😋 trialing the dinner menu before the launch of thier proper menu. We tried the platter (supposed to be for one 😳) not a chance one could eat all that!! Massoof! Chicken was that tender it melts in your mouth 😱 and the burgers is second to none, I'm not even a burger person but they are beautiful- the icing on the cake was a lovely pint of club tropy. Got to add the bar staff was great, lovely lad and the owners are brilliant, had a good laugh. Taking the kids back this week to try those burgers 🙌
Vivien Hancill: Went to see the Revolutionnairs and had a great time !
C: Tried one of their sundau dinners today, no booking just showed up. Dinner was served within 20 minutes of being there no complaints about service!Beef dinner and a pork one, both very tasty but small portions of meat. Had to pay extra for cauliflower cheese and only got one little dish of veg to share ( 1 piece of broccoli each) . Yorkshire was dry but the roasties were the best I have ever tasted really nice!! Lush gravy plenty of flavour in veg aswell. No complaints except portion size 7.5/10They have a nice beer garden and sell clwb tropicana! Used to do 2 printers and have a dj outside not sure if they still do now however. Not a good location as its a taxi to anywhere else.

I had the gyros from Acropolis - definitely recommend! 🙂My mates had a pizza , not sure where from but said they were still hungry, didn't get much for the £££ paid? 🤔Had a stage with live band/music on, although not sure it this is a permanent fixture.Looking forward to returning with the lads for a 🍺🍺🍺 session! 🤪
